摘要：

Background. Mesangial matrix expansion is caused by the overproduction and/or the impaired proteolytic degradation of the extracellular matrix. However, the relative contribution of these changes to the development of prolonged mesangial matrix expansion is still poorly understood. We aimed to elucidate the relative role of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)/tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) system in the development of prolonged mesangial matrix expansion. Methods. We prepared two rat models, showing reversible or prolonged mesangial matrix expansion, induced by a single injection or two consecutive injections of anti-Thy-1.1 monoclonal antibody 1-22-3, respectively. We analyzed the glomerular expression of type I and type IV collagens; MMP-2, -9, and -13; membrane type 1-MMP (MT1-MMP); TIMP-1; and urinary type I collagen-degrading activity in both models. Results. There were no differences in glomerular mRNA levels of type I and type IV collagens between the reversible and the prolonged models. MMP-9 mRNA expression and protein level was lower in the prolonged model than in the reversible one, whereas there were no differences in mMRNA levels of MMP-2, -13, MT1-MMP, or TIMP-1 between the two models. Urinary type I collagen-degrading activity in the prolonged model was lower than that in the reversible one. Furthermore, there was a significant correlation between the mesangial matrix expansion and urinary type I collagen-degrading activity. Conclusions. Impaired expression of MMP-9 may contribute to the development of prolonged mesangial matrix expansion. Analysis of urinary type I collagen-degrading activity may provide additional diagnostic information in mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis.
