to investigate the activity of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and -9 in asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysms (aAAAs) and ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAAs).
cross-sectional study.
MMP-2 and MMP-9 activity was estimated in biopsies from the anterior wall of 60 AAAs using gelatin zymography. There were 20 medium-sized (diameter 5<7 cm) aAAAs, 20 large (>57 cm) aAAAs and 20 rAAAs. MMP activity was quantified using a laser densitometer and expressed as arbitrary units (au).
mean (SEM) MMP-9 activity was significantly lower in large aAAAs (1190 au +/-247) than in rAAAs (2647 au +/-498, p<0.05). There was no difference in MMP-2 activity.
High MMP-9 activity in the AAA wall is associated with rupture.
研究基质金属蛋白酶(MMP)-2和-9在无症状腹主动脉瘤(aAAA)和破裂性腹主动脉瘤(rAAA)中的活性。
横断面研究。
采用明胶酶谱法对60例腹主动脉瘤前壁活检组织中的MMP-2和MMP-9活性进行评估。其中有20例中型(直径5<7 cm)aAAA、20例大型(>57 cm)aAAA和20例rAAA。使用激光密度计对MMP活性进行定量,并以任意单位(au)表示。
大型aAAA的平均(SEM)MMP-9活性(1190 au +/-247)显著低于rAAA(2647 au +/-498,p<0.05)。MMP-2活性无差异。
腹主动脉瘤壁中高MMP-9活性与破裂有关。
