ABSTRACT
á
Matrix metalloproteinases can modulate the inflammatory response through processing of cyto- and chemokines. Among them, MMP-14 is a non-dispensable collagenase responsible for the activation of other enzymes, triggering a proteolytic cascade. To identify the role of MMP-14 during the pro-inflammatory response, wildtype and Mmp14 -/- mice were challenged with lipopolysaccharide. MMP-14 levels decreased after endotoxemia. Mutant animals showed 100% mortality, compared to 50% in wildtype mice. The increased mortality was related to a more severe lung injury, an impaired lung MMP-2 activation, and increased levels of the alarmin S100A9. There were no differences in the expression of other mediators including Il6, Cxcl2, Tgfb, Il10, or S100a8. A similar result was observed in lung explants of both genotypes cultured in presence of lipopolysaccharide. In this ex vivo model, exogenous activated MMP-2 ameliorated the observed increase in alarmins. Samples from septic patients showed a decrease in serum MMP-14 and activated MMP-2 compared to non-septic critically ill patients. These results demonstrate that the MMP-14-MMP-2 axis is downregulated during sepsis, leading to a proinflammatory response involving S100A9 and a more severe lung injury. This anti-inflammatory role of MMP-14 could have a therapeutic value in sepsis. KEY MESSAGES ⢠MMP-14 levels decrease in lungs from endotoxemic mice and serum from septic patients. ⢠Mmp14 -/- mice show increased lung injury and mortality following endotoxemia. ⢠Absence of Mmp14 decreases activated MMP-2 and increases S100A9 levels in lung tissue. ⢠MMP-14 ameliorates inflammation by promoting S100A9 cleavage by activated MMP-2.
