Targeting MMPs in Acute and Chronic Neurological Conditions

Abstract: Summary:The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are important enzymes that regulate developmental processes, maintain normal physiology in adulthood and have reparative roles at specific stages after an insult to the nervous system. Conversely, the concordant presence and significant upregulation of several MMP members in virtually all neurological conditions result in pathology. Thus, the MMPs have diverse functions, capable of mediating repair and recovery on the one hand and being involved in producing injury … Show more

“…Inhibition of NAD(P)H redox activity leads to increased MMP-9 (via p38 MAPK and JNK) and reduced MMP-2 (via ERK 1/2). What effect MK2 deficiency may have on other MMPs implicated in SCI (Wells et al, 2003b;Yong et al, 2007) remains unknown.…”

“…Here we demonstrate that the EphB2 receptor is cleaved by secreted MMPs, MMP-2 and MMP-9, and this cleavage is induced by ephrinB-EphB receptor interaction. MMP-2 and MMP-9 are the most abundant MMPs in the brain, and their expression/activities are regulated during neural development, in response to brain injury, and in several neurological disorders (14,30). Therefore, changes in the expression and/or activation of MMP-2/MMP-9 may directly regulate EphB2-mediated cellular responses.…”

“…Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) represent a multi-member family of zinc-dependent proteases with a wide range of substrates, including extracellular matrix components, cytokines, receptors, and cell motility factors [1,2]. They are recognized as the main proteolytic enzyme group involved in remodeling the extracellular matrix and modifying cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions [3].…”

“…Many different human MMPs have been identified [1]. Based on function and structure, MMPs can be subdivided into 5 groups: (i) collagenases (MMPs-1, -8 and -13); (ii) gelatinases A and B (MMPs-2 and -9); (iii) stromelysins-1 and -2 (MMPs-3 and -10); (iv) a more heterogeneous subgroup containing matrilysin (MMP-7), enamelysin (MMP-20), the mmp 20 gene product, macrophage metalloelastase (MMP-12), and MMP-19 (together making up the ‘classical’ MMPs), and (v) membrane-type MMPs (MT-MMPs-1–4 and stromelysin-3, MMP-11) [4].…”
