Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), also designated matrixins, hydrolyze components of the extracellular matrix. These proteinases play a central role in many biological processes, such as embryogenesis, normal tissue remodeling, wound healing, and angiogenesis, and in diseases such as atheroma, arthritis, cancer, and tissue ulceration. Currently 23 MMP genes have been identified in humans, and most are multidomain proteins. This review describes the members of the matrixin family and discusses substrate specificity, domain structure and function, the activation of proMMPs, the regulation of matrixin activity by tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases, and their pathophysiological implication.

Intimal hyperplasia is the process by which the cell population increases within the innermost layer of the arterial wall, such as occurs physiologically during closure of the ductus arteriosus and during involution of the uterus. It also occurs pathologically in pulmonary hypertension, atherosclerosis, after angioplasty, in transplanted organs, and in vein grafts. The underlying causes of intimal hyperplasia are migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells provoked by injury, inflammation, and stretch. This review discusses, at a molecular level, both the final common pathways leading to smooth muscle migration and proliferation and their (patho)-physiological triggers. It emphasizes the key roles played by growth factors and extracellular matrix-degrading metalloproteinases, which act in concert to remodel the extracellular matrix and permit cell migration and proliferation.

Synergistic upregulation of metalloproteinase‐9 by growth factors and inflammatory cytokines: an absolute requirement for transcription factor NF‐κB

Intimal thickening occurs in blood vessels in response to injury or atherosclerosis. The balance of migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) over death by apoptosis has an important impact on the final size of intimal thickening and may also affect atherosclerotic plaque stability. All aspects of VSMC behaviour are under coordinated control by growth factors, cell-matrix and cell-cell interactions. We review the evidence that matrix-degrading metalloproteinases (MMPs) regulate migration, proliferation and survival of VSMC. Moreover, we discuss critically the underlying mechanisms, which include changing growth factor availability and remodelling cell-matrix and cell-cell contacts. We conclude that MMPs influence VSMC behaviour by cleaving both matrix and non-matrix substrates.

Matrix metalloproteinases regulate migration, proliferation, and death of vascular smooth muscle cells by degrading matrix and non-matrix substrates

Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are a family of closely related secreted proteins that limit matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity and also have direct effects on cell growth. We used the highly efficient adenoviral delivery system to overexpress individual TIMPs from the cytomegalovirus immediate early promoter in rat aortic smooth muscle cells. Overexpression of TIMP-1, -2, or -3, or a synthetic MMP inhibitor similarly inhibited SMC chemotaxis and invasion through reconstituted basement membrane. TIMP-1 overexpression did not effect cell proliferation. By contrast, TIMP-2 caused a dose-dependent reduction in proliferation, an effect not mimicked by a synthetic MMP inhibitor. TIMP-3 overexpression induced DNA synthesis, and promoted SMC death by apoptosis, a phenotype reproduced by adding TIMP-3 to uninfected cells, but not by a synthetic MMP inhibitor. Our study is the first to compare systematically the effect of overexpression of three TIMPs in any cell. We found similar effects on invasion mediated by inhibition of MMP activity, but widely divergent effects on proliferation and death through actions of TIMP-2 and -3 independent of MMP inhibition. These findings have important implications for the physiological roles of TIMPs and their use in gene therapy.

Divergent effects of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1, -2, or -3 overexpression on rat vascular smooth muscle cell invasion, proliferation, and death in vitro. TIMP-3 promotes apoptosis.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) can degrade strength-giving collagens and other structural proteins of the arterial extracellular matrix. Overproduction of MMPs by monocyte/macrophages could therefore promote atherosclerotic plaque rupture and myocardial infarction. Freshly-recruited monocyte macrophages appear to use a prostaglandin (PG)-dependent pathway to coordinately upregulate a broad and potentially highly-destructive spectrum of MMPs. Differentiated macrophages rely on a series of distinct pathways to selectively upregulate groups of MMPs. Moreover, recent evidence suggests that different macrophage phenotypes express characteristically different spectra of MMPs and their inhibitors. New therapies may result from targeting matrix MMP overproduction.
