PG - 227-34 AB - Reactive astrocytes occurring in response to neurodegeneration are thought to play an important role in neuronal regeneration by upregulating the expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) components as well as the ECM degrading metalloproteinases (MMPs). We examined the mRNA levels and cellular distribution of membrane type matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MT1-MMP) and tissue inhibitors 1-4 of MMPs (TIMPs) in brain stem and spinal cord of wobbler (WR) mutant mice affected by progressive neurodegeneration and astrogliosis. MT1-MMP, TIMP-1 and TIMP-3 mRNA levels were elevated, whereas TIMP-2 and TIMP-4 expression was not affected. MT1-MMP was expressed in reactive astrocytes of WR. In primary astrocyte cultures, MT1-MMP mRNA was upregulated by exogeneous tumor necrosis factor alpha. Increased plasma membrane and secreted MMP activities were found in primary WR astrocytes.
