There are conflicting data in the literature regarding the expression pattern of the vascular matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) system and their inhibitors (TIMPs) in human hypertension. The authors hypothesized that MMP-2, MMP-9, and TIMP-1 would be abnormal in hypertension, reflecting alterations in extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover. The authors measured plasma levels and activities of MMP-2, MMP-9, and TIMP-1 in 44 hypertensive patients and 44 controls. MMP-2 levels and activity were significantly higher in hypertensive group (p < .0001). Significant increase was also observed for MMP-9 level and activity (p < .0001) and for TIMP-1 (p < .0001) in hypertensive patients. Plasma levels and activities of MMP-2, MMP-9, and TIMP-1 are increased in hypertensive patients, which may reflect abnormal ECM metabolism.
关于血管基质金属蛋白酶(MMP)系统及其抑制剂(TIMP)在人类高血压中的表达模式,文献中的数据存在冲突。作者推测,MMP - 2、MMP - 9和TIMP - 1在高血压中会出现异常,这反映了细胞外基质(ECM)周转的改变。作者测量了44例高血压患者和44例对照者血浆中MMP - 2、MMP - 9和TIMP - 1的水平及活性。高血压组中MMP - 2的水平和活性显著更高(p < .0001)。高血压患者的MMP - 9水平和活性(p < .0001)以及TIMP - 1(p < .0001)也观察到显著升高。高血压患者血浆中MMP - 2、MMP - 9和TIMP - 1的水平及活性升高,这可能反映了ECM代谢异常。
