  • Background: Matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) play important roles in many physiopathological conditions charactherized by cardiovascular remodelling possibly due to their degrading action on extracellular matrix. In these conditions, their determination could help in clinical decision making. Aim: To compare two different methods for MMP-2 and -9 determination in human serum samples and culture media from an ex-vivo human model of intimal hyperplasia (IH). Methods: Saphenous vein (SV) segments, obtained from 10 cardiosurgical patients, were cultured for 10 days in RPMI-1640 alone (control) or supplemented with 30% (v/v) FCS (culture) in order to reproduce IH. Human serum samples were obtained from 20 healthy subjects. Total MMP-2 and -9 concentrations were measured by immunometric assays while their activities by enzymatic assays. Results: Both methods were able to detect MMP-2 and -9 with similar sensitivity, reproducibility and accuracy and furnished positively related results, although significantly different, in both kind of samples. MMP-2 in human serum was 544.0±50.3ng/ml (mean±sem) and 182.9±4.8 (p0.001) for enzymatic and immunometric assay, respectively while, MMP-9 was 185.0±18.1 and 429.7±35.1 (p0.001). MMP production in SV culture media increased as a function of IH progression (MMP-2: 173.7±30.0 vs 111.9±26.9ng/ml; MMP-9: 3.8±0.9 vs 2.3±0.6ng/ml, for culture and control, mean±sem). These results were confirmed also at tissue mRNA level. Conclusion: Our data indicate that it is worthy to pay attention to methodological differences when comparing MMP results from different studies because, different concentration values obtained from intrinsically reliable methods, may be due substantially to the differences in assay principles.
