We investigated matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1) levels in the cord blood of 29 premature infants who were <30 weeks gestation. One, 8, and 14 infants developed severe, moderate and mild bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), respectively, and 6 did not. MMP-9 and TIMP-1 levels in the cord blood were determined by ELISA. MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratios in the cord blood of infants who developed severe or moderate BPD (n = 9) were significantly higher than those who developed mild BPD or did not develop BPD (n = 20; P = 0.015). Multivariate linear regressions demonstrated that MMP-9 levels and MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratios in the cord blood of the premature infants correlated with the oxygen supplementation period (r = 0.58, P = 0.003 and r = 0.41, P = 0.030, respectively). The MMP-9 levels and MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratios correlated with the severity of maternal chorioamnionitis (both trend P = 0.006). The MMP-9 levels and MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratios in the cord blood may be related to the pathogenesis and severity of BPD and maternal chorioamnionitis.
我们研究了29例孕周小于30周的早产儿脐带血中基质金属蛋白酶-9(MMP-9)和金属蛋白酶组织抑制剂1(TIMP-1)的水平。分别有1例、8例和14例婴儿发生了重度、中度和轻度支气管肺发育不良(BPD),6例未发生。通过酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)测定脐带血中的MMP-9和TIMP-1水平。发生重度或中度BPD的婴儿(n = 9)脐带血中的MMP-9/TIMP-1比值显著高于发生轻度BPD或未发生BPD的婴儿(n = 20;P = 0.015)。多变量线性回归表明,早产儿脐带血中的MMP-9水平和MMP-9/TIMP-1比值与吸氧时间相关(r = 0.58,P = 0.003和r = 0.41,P = 0.030)。MMP-9水平和MMP-9/TIMP-1比值与产妇绒毛膜羊膜炎的严重程度相关(趋势P均为0.006)。脐带血中的MMP-9水平和MMP-9/TIMP-1比值可能与BPD及产妇绒毛膜羊膜炎的发病机制和严重程度有关。
