Cathepsin K Contributes to Cavitation and Collagen Turnover in Pulmonary Tuberculosis

ABSTRACT: Cavitation in tuberculosis (TB) enables highly efficient person-to-person aerosol transmission. Currently, a number of hypotheses exist regarding the mechanisms underlying this process. To explore this process, we undertook an unbiased next-generation transcriptional analysis of samples from cavity walls, grossly normal tissue from the same lung, and uninfected control lungs. Of 17,318 mapped host transcripts, only 199 showed a significant >2-fold change in cavity wall versus normal infected and uninfected samples. Amongst 22 upregulated proteases, 5 type I collagenases were over-represented; these included cathepsin K (CTSK), mast cell chymase-1 (CMA1), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, MMP-13, and MMP-14. To determine if cavitation was associated with changes in collagen turnover, we assayed serum and urinary markers of collagen metabolism in rabbits with cavitary TB versus infected controls. Serum collagen type 1 C-terminal propeptide (CICP, a marker of collagen synthesis and degradation) and urinary deoxypyridinoline (DPD, a marker of degradation) were increased by 10- (p = 0.019) and 4-fold (p = 0.068), respectively; while urinary helical peptide (a marker of degradation) was decreased 3-fold (p=0.015). This indicates that cavitation in TB is associated with significant increases of both destruction and synthesis of collagen and that cleavage of type I collagen occurs outside the known cleavage sites of MMP-1, -13 and -14.

Project description:This a model from the article: A theoretical model of type I collagen proteolysis by matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 2 and membrane type 1 MMP in the presence of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2. Karagiannis ED, Popel AS. J Biol Chem 2004 Sep 10;279(37):39105-14 15252025 , Abstract: One well documented family of enzymes responsible for the proteolytic processes that occur in the extracellular matrix is the soluble and membrane-associated matrix metalloproteinases. Here we present the first theoretical model of the biochemical network describing the proteolysis of collagen I by matrix metalloproteinases 2 (MMP2) and membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinases (MT1-MMP) in the presence of the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 2 (TIMP2) in a bulk, cell-free, well stirred environment. The model can serve as a tool for describing quantitatively the activation of the MMP2 proenzyme (pro-MMP2), the ectodomain shedding of MT1-MMP, and the collagenolysis arising from both of the enzymes. We show that pro-MMP2 activation, a process that involves a trimer formation of the proenzyme with TIMP2 and MT1-MMP, is suppressed at high inhibitor levels and paradoxically attains maximum only at intermediate TIMP2 concentrations. We also calculate the conditions for which pro-MMP2 activation is maximal. Furthermore we demonstrate that the ectodomain shedding of MT1-MMP can serve as a mechanism controlling the MT1-MMP availability and therefore the pro-MMP2 activation. Finally the proteolytic synergism of MMP2 and MT1-MMP is introduced and described quantitatively. The model provides us a tool to determine the conditions under which the synergism is optimized. Our approach is the first step toward a more complete description of the proteolytic processes that occur in the extracellular matrix and include a wider spectrum of enzymes and substrates as well as naturally occurring or artificial inhibitors.
