Pro-MMP2 activation is a two-step process resulting in (1) an intermediate 64 kDa form generated by the MT1-MMP activity, and (2) a mature 62 kDa form. Addition of plasminogen to HT1080 cells cultured under various conditions, or to their membrane preparation, induced a complete conversion of the intermediate MMP-2 form to the mature one, and processing of pro-MMP-9. The pro-MMP-2 activation was inhibited by plasmin inhibitors and anti-uPA antibody. These results provide evidence for involvement of the PA/plasmin system in the second step of MMP-2 activation.
前基质金属蛋白酶2(Pro-MMP2)的激活是一个两步过程,产生(1)由MT1-MMP活性生成的64 kDa中间形式,以及(2)成熟的62 kDa形式。在各种条件下培养的HT1080细胞或其膜制剂中添加纤溶酶原,可诱导中间MMP-2形式完全转化为成熟形式,并使前基质金属蛋白酶9(pro-MMP-9)发生加工处理。纤溶酶抑制剂和抗尿激酶型纤溶酶原激活物(uPA)抗体可抑制Pro-MMP-2的激活。这些结果为纤溶酶原激活物/纤溶酶系统参与MMP-2激活的第二步提供了证据。
