The present study aimed to examine the role of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 [(-1171) 5A/6A; Lys45Glu (A/G)], MMP-7 [(-181) A/G] and MMP-12 [(-82) A/G; Asn357Ser (A/G)] variants in the development and severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Tunisians.
Plethysmography was performed in all participants to measure forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC) and FEV1/FVC parameters. Genotyping of MMP-3, MMP-7 and MMP-12 polymorphisms was carried out in 138 patients with COPD and 216 healthy controls using a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Serum levels of MMPs and cytokines (interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α) were determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
No significant correlations were observed between genetic variations in MMP-3, MMP-7 and MMP-12 and the risk of development of COPD. Additionally, no impact of MMP-7 (-181) A/G and MMP-12 [(-82) A/G; Asn357Ser (A/G)] polymorphisms was observed on the respective protein levels and clinical parameters of the disease. Interestingly, both MMP-3 (-1171) 5A/6A and Lys45Glu (A/G) variants were associated with respiratory function, as well as with serum levels of MMP-3 in COPD patients. A relationship was found between the (-1171) 6A and 45Glu (G) alleles of the MMP-3 gene and enhanced airflow limitation among COPD patients. Additionally, carriers of the 6A6A and 45 GG genotypes present higher MMP-3 levels than noncarriers.
MMP-3 (-1171) 5A/6A and Lys45Glu (A/G) polymorphisms were associated with the decline of lung function among COPD patients. These results could be linked to the upregulation of MMP-3 in serum from COPD patients carrying the (-1171) 6A and 45 G homozygous genotypes.
本研究旨在探讨基质金属蛋白酶(MMP)-3 [(-1171)5A/6A;Lys45Glu(A/G)]、MMP-7 [(-181)A/G]和 MMP-12 [(-82)A/G;Asn357Ser(A/G)] 变体在突尼斯人群慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)的发展和严重程度中的作用。
所有参与者均进行体描法测量 1 秒用力呼气量(FEV1)、用力肺活量(FVC)和 FEV1/FVC 等参数。采用聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性(PCR-RFLP)方法对 138 例 COPD 患者和 216 例健康对照者的 MMP-3、MMP-7 和 MMP-12 多态性进行基因分型。采用酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)法测定 MMP 和细胞因子(白细胞介素-6、肿瘤坏死因子-α)的血清水平。
MMP-3、MMP-7 和 MMP-12 的遗传变异与 COPD 发病风险之间无显著相关性。此外,MMP-7(-181)A/G 和 MMP-12 [(-82)A/G;Asn357Ser(A/G)] 多态性对各自的蛋白水平和疾病的临床参数也没有影响。有趣的是,MMP-3(-1171)5A/6A 和 Lys45Glu(A/G)变体均与 COPD 患者的呼吸功能以及 MMP-3 的血清水平有关。在 COPD 患者中,MMP-3 基因的(-1171)6A 和 45Glu(G)等位基因与气流受限加重有关。此外,携带 MMP-36A6A 和 45 GG 基因型的患者比非携带者的 MMP-3 水平更高。
MMP-3(-1171)5A/6A 和 Lys45Glu(A/G)多态性与 COPD 患者肺功能下降有关。这些结果可能与携带(-1171)6A 和 45G 纯合基因型的 COPD 患者血清中 MMP-3 的上调有关。
