Mice lacking matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3; stromelysin-1) demonstrated significantly less injury than their normal counterparts following the formation of IgG-containing immune complexes in the alveolar wall or in the wall of the peritoneum. Likewise, mice lacking MMP-3 demonstrated less lung injury following intra-tracheal instillation of the chemotactic cytokine macrophage inhibitory protein-2 (MIP-2) than did mice with MMP-3. There was a relationship between tissue injury (evidenced histologically) and accumulation of anti-laminin 111 immunoreactive material in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) or peritoneal lavage (PL) fluid. There was also a relationship between tissue injury and influx of neutrophils into the BAL or PL fluid. Taken together, these data demonstrate an important role for MMP-3 in acute inflammatory tissue injury.
在肺泡壁或腹膜壁形成含IgG免疫复合物后,缺乏基质金属蛋白酶-3(MMP-3;基质溶解素-1)的小鼠所受损伤明显少于正常对照小鼠。同样,与具有MMP-3的小鼠相比,缺乏MMP-3的小鼠在气管内注入趋化细胞因子巨噬细胞抑制蛋白-2(MIP-2)后肺损伤较轻。组织损伤(通过组织学证实)与支气管肺泡灌洗(BAL)液或腹腔灌洗液(PL)中抗层粘连蛋白111免疫反应性物质的积累之间存在关联。组织损伤与中性粒细胞流入BAL液或PL液之间也存在关联。综上所述,这些数据表明MMP-3在急性炎症组织损伤中起重要作用。
