Abstract
Extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover is a critical step in the tissue remodeling that accompanies many physiologic as well as pathologic processes. Normal remodeling events, such as wound healing and trophoblast implantation, require coordinated synthesis and removal of ECM components. These physiologic processes are strictly regulated in a spatial and temporal fashion, and are usually limited in extent. They result in a functionally intact matrix and preservation of tissue boundaries. Pathologic events may result in the extensive and uncontrolled ECM destruction that is often seen in the inflammatory collagen vascular diseases. Such processes cause the loss of normal matrix boundaries and matrix functions. Alternately, inactivation of the matrix degradative machinery may result in excessive ECM accumulation that disrupts normal tissue structure and function. Proteases responsible for matrix turnover have been identified in all four classes of proteases (seryl-, cystyl-, aspartyl- and metalloproteinases). However, the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family of enzymes appears to be primarily responsible for much of the coordinate or discoordinate degradation of the ECM that occurs during physiological and pathological events, respectively. Comprehending the precise points of regulation for MMP activity may facilitate therapeutic intervention in pathologic situations that characteristically favor either unregulated ECM destruction or excessive deposition of matrix components.
