Functional promoter polymorphism of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 5A/6A and its interaction with MMP-7 A-181G polymorphism in multiple sclerosis

چکیده
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressive autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) in which demyelination, axonal inflammation and damage occurs. The aim of present study was to investigate the influence of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 5A/6A and its interaction with MMP-7 A-181G polymorphism on the risk and the clinical course of MS. We studied 121 patients and 106 healthy individuals without family history of MS or any other autoimmune diseases from Kermanshah province. The MMP-3 and MMP-7 genotypes were detected using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). The MMP-3 6A allele was more prevalent in patients (70.2%) than that in the controls (67%, p=0.45). The frequency of MMP3 6A/6A genotype was higher in secondary progressive-MS (SP-MS) patients (57.9%) than that of relapsing remitting-MS (RR-MS) patients (39.2%) but it did not reach to a statistical significance. The concomitant presence of both MMP-3 6A and MMP-7 -181 G alleles compared to the combined presence of MMP-3 6A and MMP-7 -181A alleles increased the risk of MS by 1.64-fold (p=0.05). In conclusion, our study for the first time among a homogenous ethnic group of Iranians (Kurds) indicated the absence of an influence of MMP-3 5A/6A polymorphism on the risk of MS or its clinical course. However, we detected a gene-gene interaction between MMP-3 and MMP-7 that increased the risk of MS in the presence of MMP-3 6A and MMP-7 -181 G alleles.

In the human genome, chromosome 11 contains a cluster of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) genes. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the promoter region of MMP genes are important for MMP expression. A common adenine deletion polymorphism (5A) at position -1171 of the MMP-3 gene promoter (5´-AAAAAACCAT-3´ change to 5´-AAAAACCAT-3´) facilitates transcriptional factor binding and MMP-3 promoter acti...

BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies have investigated the association between matrix metalloproteinase-3(MMP-3) gene-1171 5A/6A polymorphism and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but the results were inconsistent. To evaluate the specific relationship, we performed a meta-analysis to clarify the controversies. METHODS The relevant literatures dated to December 07th 2013 were retrieved from PubMed, EM...

Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) has been proposed as an important mediator of the atherosclerotic process. The possible role of the functional -1612 5A/6A polymorphism of the MMP-3 gene in the susceptibility to ischaemic heart disease (IHD) was investigated in a well-defined Irish population using two recently described family based tests of association. One thousand and twelve individuals f...

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are proteolytic enzymes capable of degrading extracellular matrix. Their role has been emphasized in tumor invasion, metastasis and tumor-induced angiogenesis. The gene encoding MMP-3 is polymorphic and an insertion (6A)/deletion (5A) polymorphism (5A/6A polymorphism) in the MMP-3 gene may have functional significance in the regulation of its expression. In the ...
