Regulation of amyloid-β levels by matrix metalloproteinase-2/9 (MMP2/9) in the media of lung cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we set out to identify regulators of intact amyloid-β40/42 (Aβ) levels in A549 (p53 wild-type) and H1299 (p53-null) lung cancer cell media. Higher Aβ levels were detected in the media of A549 than H1299 cells without or with treatment with 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU) and/or the anti-CD44 antibody (5F12). Using inhibitors, we found that PI3K, AKT, and NFκB are likely involved in regulating Aβ levels in the media. However, increased Aβ levels that more closely resembled those found upon 4-MU co-treatment resulted from MMP2/9 inhibition, suggesting that MMP2/9 maybe the main contributors to regulation of Aβ levels in the media. Differences in Aβ levels might be accounted for, in part, by p53 since blocking p53 function in A549 cells resulted in decreased Aβ levels, increased MMP2/9 levels, increased PI3K/AKT activities and the phospho/total NFκB ratio. Using siRNA targeted against MMP2 or MMP9, we found increased Aβ levels in the media, however, MMP2 knockdown led to Aβ levels closely mimicking those detected by co-treatment with 4-MU. Cell viability or apoptosis upon treatment with either MMP2 or MMP9 siRNA along with Aβ immunodepletion, showed that MMP2 is the predominant regulator of the cytotoxic effects induced by Aβ in lung cancer cells.

MMP2 Polymorphism Affects Plasma Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 Levels, and Correlates with the Decline in Lung Function in Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis Positive to Autoantibodies Patients.

Project description:Among hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) patients have been identified who develop autoantibodies with and without clinical manifestations of autoimmune disease. Genetic factors involved in this process and the effect of these autoantibodies on the clinical phenotype are unknown. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have an important role in architecture and pulmonary remodeling. The aim of our study was to identify polymorphisms in the MMP1, MMP2, MMP9 and MMP12 genes associated with susceptibility to HP with the presence of autoantibodies (HPAbs+). Using the dominant model of genetic association, comparisons were made between three groups. For rs7125062 in MMP1 (CC vs. CT+TT), we found an association when comparing groups of patients with healthy controls: HPAbs+ vs. HC (p < 0.001, OR = 10.62, CI 95% = 4.34 - 25.96); HP vs. HC (p < 0.001, OR = 7.85, 95% CI 95% = 4.54 - 13.57). This rs11646643 in MMP2 shows a difference in the HPAbs+ group by the dominant genetic model GG vs. GA+AA, (p = 0.001, OR = 8.11, CI 95% = 1.83 - 35.84). In the linear regression analysis, rs11646643 was associated with a difference in basal forced vital capacity (FVC)/12 months (p = 0.013, = 0.228, 95% CI95% = 1.97 - 16.72). We identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with the risk of developing HP, and with the evolution towards the phenotype with the presence of autoantibodies. Also, to the decrease in plasma MMP-2 levels.

Medroxyprogesterone Acetate Impairs Amyloid Beta Degradation in a Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Dependent Manner.

Project description:Despite the extensive use of hormonal methods as either contraception or menopausal hormone therapy (HT), there is very little known about the potential effects of these compounds on the cellular processes of the brain. Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (MPA) is a progestogen used globally in the hormonal contraceptive, Depo Provera, by women in their reproductive prime and is a major compound found in HT formulations used by menopausal women. MPA promotes changes in the circulating levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), such as MMP-9, in the endometrium, yet limited literature studying the effects of MPA on neurons and astroglia cells has been conducted. Additionally, the dysregulation of MMPs has been implicated in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), where inhibiting the secretion of MMP-9 from astroglia reduces the proteolytic degradation of amyloid-beta. Thus, we hypothesize that exposure to MPA disrupts proteolytic degradation of amyloid-beta through the downregulation of MMP-9 expression and subsequent secretion. To assess the effect of progestins on MMP-9 and amyloid-beta, in vitro, C6 rat glial cells were exposed to MPA for 48 h and then the enzymatic, secretory, and amyloid-beta degrading capacity of MMP-9 was assessed from the conditioned culture medium. We found that MPA treatment inhibited transcription of MMP-9, which resulted in a subsequent decrease in the production and secretion of MMP-9 protein, in part through the glucocorticoid receptor. Additionally, we investigated the consequences of amyloid beta-degrading activity and found that MPA treatment decreased proteolytic degradation of amyloid-beta. Our results suggest MPA suppresses amyloid-beta degradation in an MMP-9-dependent manner, in vitro, and potentially compromises the clearance of amyloid-beta in vivo.

Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) and MMP9 secreted by erythropoietin-activated endothelial cells promote neural progenitor cell migration.

Project description:We investigated the hypothesis that endothelial cells activated by erythropoietin (EPO) promote the migration of neuroblasts. This hypothesis is based on observations in vivo that treatment of focal cerebral ischemia with EPO enhances the migration of neuroblasts to the ischemic boundary, a site containing activated endothelial cells and angiogenic microvasculature. To model the microenvironment within the ischemic boundary zone, we used a coculture system of mouse brain endothelial cells (MBECs) and neural progenitor cells derived from the subventricular zone of the adult mouse. Treatment of MBECs with recombinant human EPO (rhEPO) significantly increased secretion of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) and MMP9. rhEPO-treated MBEC supernatant as conditioned medium significantly increased the migration of neural progenitor cells. Application of an MMP inhibitor abolished the supernatant-enhanced migration. Incubation of neurospheres alone with rhEPO failed to increase progenitor cell migration. rhEPO activated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt (PI3K/Akt) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2) in MBECs. Selective inhibition of the PI3K/Akt and ERK1/2 pathways significantly attenuated the rhEPO-induced MMP2 and MMP9, which suppressed neural progenitor cell migration promoted by the rhEPO-activated MBECs. Collectively, our data show that rhEPO-activated endothelial cells enhance neural progenitor cell migration by secreting MMP2 and MMP9 via the PI3K/Akt and ERK1/2 signaling pathways. These data demonstrate that activated endothelial cells can promote neural progenitor cell migration, and provide insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying the attraction of newly generated neurons to injured areas in brain.

Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) degrades soluble vasculotropic amyloid-beta E22Q and L34V mutants, delaying their toxicity for human brain microvascular endothelial cells.

Project description:Patients carrying mutations within the amyloid-beta (Abeta) sequence develop severe early-onset cerebral amyloid angiopathy with some of the related variants manifesting primarily with hemorrhagic phenotypes. Matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) are typically associated with blood brain barrier disruption and hemorrhagic transformations after ischemic stroke. However, their contribution to cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related hemorrhage remains unclear. Human brain endothelial cells challenged with Abeta synthetic homologues containing mutations known to be associated in vivo with hemorrhagic manifestations (AbetaE22Q and AbetaL34V) showed enhanced production and activation of MMP-2, evaluated via Multiplex MMP antibody arrays, gel zymography, and Western blot, which in turn proteolytically cleaved in situ the Abeta peptides. Immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry analysis highlighted the generation of specific C-terminal proteolytic fragments, in particular the accumulation of Abeta-(1-16), a result validated in vitro with recombinant MMP-2 and quantitatively evaluated using deuterium-labeled internal standards. Silencing MMP-2 gene expression resulted in reduced Abeta degradation and enhanced apoptosis. Secretion and activation of MMP-2 as well as susceptibility of the Abeta peptides to MMP-2 degradation were dependent on the peptide conformation, with fibrillar elements of AbetaE22Q exhibiting negligible effects. Our results indicate that MMP-2 release and activation differentially degrades Abeta species, delaying their toxicity for endothelial cells. However, taking into consideration MMP ability to degrade basement membrane components, these protective effects might also undesirably compromise blood brain barrier integrity and precipitate a hemorrhagic phenotype.

Structural basis for matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2)-selective inhibitory action of β-amyloid precursor protein-derived inhibitor.

Project description:Unlike other synthetic or physiological inhibitors for matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), the β-amyloid precursor protein-derived inhibitory peptide (APP-IP) having an ISYGNDALMP sequence has a high selectivity toward MMP-2. Our previous study identified amino acid residues of MMP-2 essential for its selective inhibition by APP-IP and demonstrated that the N to C direction of the decapeptide inhibitor relative to the substrate-binding cleft of MMP-2 is opposite that of substrate. However, detailed interactions between the two molecules remained to be clarified. Here, we determined the crystal structure of the catalytic domain of MMP-2 in complex with APP-IP. We found that APP-IP in the complex is indeed embedded into the substrate-binding cleft of the catalytic domain in the N to C direction opposite that of substrate. With the crystal structure, it was first clarified that the aromatic side chain of Tyr(3) of the inhibitor is accommodated into the S1' pocket of the protease, and the carboxylate group of Asp(6) of APP-IP coordinates bidentately to the catalytic zinc of the enzyme. The Ala(7) to Pro(10) and Tyr(3) to Ile(1) strands of the inhibitor extend into the nonprime and the prime sides of the cleft, respectively. Therefore, the decapeptide inhibitor has long range contact with the substrate-binding cleft of the protease. This mode of interaction is probably essential for the high MMP-2 selectivity of the inhibitor because MMPs share a common architecture in the vicinity of the catalytic center, but whole structures of their substrate-binding clefts have sufficient variety for the inhibitor to distinguish MMP-2 from other MMPs.

Regulation of the Soluble Amyloid Precursor Protein α (sAPPα) Levels by Acetylcholinesterase and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Lung Cancer Cell Media.

Project description:In comparing two human lung cancer cells, we previously found lower levels of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and intact amyloid-β40/42 (Aβ), and higher levels of mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor (mBDNF) in the media of H1299 cells as compared to A549 cell media. In this study, we hypothesized that the levels of soluble amyloid precursor protein α (sAPPα) are regulated by AChE and mBDNF in A549 and H1299 cell media. The levels of sAPPα were higher in the media of H1299 cells. Knockdown of AChE led to increased sAPPα and mBDNF levels and correlated with decreased levels of intact Aβ40/42 in A549 cell media. AChE and mBDNF had opposite effects on the levels of Aβ and sAPPα and were found to operate through a mechanism involving α-secretase activity. Treatment with AChE decreased sAPPα levels and simultaneously increased the levels of intact Aβ40/42 suggesting a role of the protein in shifting APP processing away from the non-amyloidogenic pathway and toward the amyloidogenic pathway, whereas treatment with mBDNF led to opposite effects on those levels. We also show that the levels of sAPPα are regulated by protein kinase C (PKC), extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2, phosphoinositide 3 Kinase (PI3K), but not by protein kinase A (PKA).

Potential role of increased matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) transcription in impaired adipogenesis in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Project description:We measured gene expression of paracrine regulators involved in adipocyte differentiation within the stromovascular fraction of abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue from obese individuals with (n=30) and without (n=18) type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Despite similar adiposity by design, subjects with T2DM had larger adipocytes (0.92+/-0.28 vs. 0.75+/-0.17 microl, p<0.05) than controls. Gene expression of the adipogenic marker aP2 was lower (0.35+/-0.16 vs. 0.58+/-0.27 arbitrary units, p<0.05) whereas the expression of matricellular peptidase, MMP2 was higher (1.65+/-0.17 vs. 1.27+/-0.21, p=0.02) in T2DM vs. controls. The gene expression levels between the aP2 and MMP2 were inversely correlated (r=-0.32, p=0.03). We conclude that early steps of adipogenesis may be impaired in T2DM independently of obesity due, in part, to an upregulation of the MMP2 transcription.

Matrix metalloproteinase 9-mediated intracerebral hemorrhage induced by cerebral amyloid angiopathy.

Project description:Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), the deposition of amyloid-? in cerebrovascular walls, is the most common cause of lobar hemorrhagic stroke. Previous studies show that cerebrovascular amyloid-? induces expression and activation of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) in cerebral vessels of amyloid precursor protein transgenic mice. Here, we extended these findings and evaluated MMP-9 expression in postmortem brain tissues of human CAA cases. MMP-9 colocalized with CAA, correlated with the severity of the vascular pathology, and was detected in proximity to microbleeds. We characterized a novel assay using longitudinal multiphoton microscopy and a novel tracer to visualize and quantify the magnitude and kinetics of hemorrhages in three dimensions in living mouse brains. We demonstrated that topical application of recombinant MMP-9 resulted in a time- and dose-dependent cerebral hemorrhage. Amyloid precursor protein mice with significant CAA developed more extensive hemorrhages which also appeared sooner after exposure to MMP-9. Our data suggest an important role for MMP-9 in development of hemorrhages in the setting of CAA. Inhibition of MMP-9 may present a preventive strategy for CAA-associated hemorrhage.

Casein kinase 1 (CK1) promotes the proliferation and metastasis of glioma cells via the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase-matrix metalloproteinase 2 (AKT-MMP2) pathway.

Project description:BackgroundGlioma is a type of tumor that usually occurs in the adult central nervous system. Protein kinases have become important targets for oncotherapy since they are closely correlated with signal transduction. The role of the casein kinase 1 (CK1) gene in glioma remains to be fully elucidated.MethodsThe mRNA and protein expression of CK1 were analyzed by Realtime PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry. The cell behavior was assayed by MTT, Transwell and cell scratch methods. Cell cycle and cell apoptosis were performed by flow cytometer. Construction of stable cell line was completed by lentivirus infection. The nude mouse model was used for in vivo analysis on the role of CK1 by injecting the cells into subcutaneous tissue, tail vein and cerebral cortex. The prognostic role of CK1 in glioma was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses.Resultsimmunohistochemical staining demonstrated that the expression of CK1 in glioma samples was correlated with the grade of glioma. Survival analysis using Kaplan-Meier and multivariate analysis by Cox regression indicated that CK1 could be used as an independent prognostic marker for glioma. The methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT), transwell, and cell scratch assays demonstrated that the CK1 gene promoted cell proliferation and invasion through the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase/matrix metalloproteinase 2 (AKT-MMP2) signaling pathway. In vivo experiments in mice also confirmed the ability of CK1 to enhance tumor proliferation and metastasis, with the metastatic site being the small intestine.Conclusionsthe expression of CK1 was correlated with glioma grade and patient survival and it may enhance glioma proliferation and metastasis via AKT-MMP2 pathway.

Microglial responses after phagocytosis: Escherichia coli bioparticles, but not cell debris or amyloid beta, induce matrix metalloproteinase-9 secretion in cultured rat primary microglial cells.

Project description:Upon infection or brain damage, microglia are activated to play roles in immune responses, including phagocytosis and soluble factor release. However, little is known whether the event of phagocytosis could be a trigger for releasing soluble factors from microglia. In this study, we tested if microglia secrete a neurovascular mediator matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) after phagocytosis in vitro. Primary microglial cultures were prepared from neonatal rat brains. Cultured microglia phagocytosed Escherichia coli bioparticles within 2 hr after incubation and started to secrete MMP-9 at around 12 hr after the phagocytosis. A TLR4 inhibitor TAK242 suppressed the E. coli-bioparticle-induced MMP-9 secretion. However, TAK242 did not change the engulfment of E. coli bioparticles in microglial cultures. Because lipopolysaccharides (LPS), the major component of the outer membrane of E. coli, also induced MMP-9 secretion in a dose-response manner and because the response was inhibited by TAK242 treatment, we assumed that the LPS-TLR4 pathway, which was activated by adhering to the substance, but not through the engulfing process of phagocytosis, would play a role in releasing MMP-9 from microglia after E. coli bioparticle treatment. To support the finding that the engulfing step would not be a critical trigger for MMP-9 secretion after the event of phagocytosis in microglia, we confirmed that cell debris and amyloid beta were both captured into microglia via phagocytosis, but neither of them induced MMP-9 secretion from microglia. Taken together, these data demonstrate that microglial response in MMP-9 secretion after phagocytosis differs depending on the types of particles/substances that microglia encountered.
