In vitro and in vivo studies on matrix metalloproteinases interacting with small intestine submucosa wound matrix.

| Abstract |
Small intestine submucosa (SIS), a bioactive extracellular matrix (ECM) containing critical components of the ECM including collagens, proteoglycans, and glycosaminoglycans, has been widely used for wound healing. The purpose of this study was to investigate the interaction between SIS and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-9 displayed different binding affinities, indicated by a loss in activity in solution upon incubation with SIS at 53·8%, 85·9%, and 36·9% over 24 hours, respectively. A cell migration study was conducted to evaluate the effects of MMPs and SIS on keratinocytes. The results indicated that MMPs inhibit keratinocyte migration in vitro, and that the inhibition can be significantly reduced by pre-incubating the MMP solution with SIS. To evaluate activity in vivo a diabetic mouse wound healing study was conducted. Biopsy samples were collected on different days for analysis of MMP levels by gelatin zymography. MMP activity was found to be attenuated by SIS treatment on day 3 after wounding. On day 7, the attenuation became less significant indicating that the MMP binding ability of SIS had become saturated. SIS was able to reduce MMP activity immediately, and may reduce the inhibitory effects of MMPs on keratinocyte migration.
