PG - 3 LID - 10.1186/s12891-021-04952-9 [doi] LID - 3 AB - BACKGROUND: The etiology of Kashin-Beck disease (KBD), an endemic osteochondropathy, is largely unknown. Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) plays a central role in the initiation and progression of cartilage destruction, however, no study has reported on the relationship between KBD and MMP-3. The objective of this study was to explore the polymorphism of MMP-3 gene and expression of MMP-3 / TIMP-1(Tissue inhibitors of matrixmetalloproteinases-1) in the pathogenesis of KBD. METHODS: Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping was conducted in 274 KBD cases and 248 healthy controls for eight SNPs in MMP-3 using the Sequenom MassARRAY system. Additionally, the expression of MMP-3、TIMP-1 in different layers of the articular cartilage was analyzed by immunohistochemistry for 22 KBD patients, 15 osteoarthritis (OA) patients and 21 controls. RESULTS: The results showed that six SNPs (rs520540、rs591058、rs679620、rs602128、rs639752 and rs678815) in MMP-3 were associated with the increased risk of KBD, however, after Bonferroni correction, only the SNP rs679620 in the recessive model remained significant difference (OR = 2.31, 95%CI = 1.29-4.14, P = 0.0039), homozygous for "T" allele have a risk for KBD than "C" allele carriers. Moreover, the percentages of cells expressing MMP-3 in articular cartilage were significantly higher in the KBD and OA groups than in the controls (t = 5.37 and 4.19, P<0.01). While the KBD and OA groups had lower levels of TIMP-1 positive staining compared with the controls (t = 5.23and 5.06, P<0.01). And there was no significant different between KBD and OA for the levels of MMP-3 and TIMP-1 positive staining (t = 0.05and 0.28, P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: MMP-3 is associated with the susceptibility of KBD, and the imbalance expression of MMPs / TIMPs leading to cartilage degradation may play an important role in cartilage degradation and osteoarthritis formation in OA and KBD.
