From the The matrix metalloproteinases
gelatinase A (MMP-2) and gelatinase B (MMP-9) are implicated in the
physiological and pathological breakdown of several extracellular
matrix proteins. In the present study, we show that long-chain fatty
acids (e.g. oleic acid, elaidic acid, and cis-
and trans-parinaric acids) inhibit gelatinase A as well as
gelatinase B with Ki values in the micromolar range
but had only weak inhibitory effect on collagenase-1 (MMP-1), as
assessed using synthetic or natural substrates. The inhibition of
gelatinases depended on fatty acid chain length (with C18 > C16,
C14, and C10), and the presence of unsaturations increased their
inhibitory capacity on both types of gelatinase. Ex vivo experiments on human skin tissue sections have shown that micromolar concentrations of a long-chain unsaturated fatty acid (elaidic acid)
protect collagen and elastin fibers against degradation by gelatinases
A and B, respectively. In order to understand why gelatinases are more
susceptible than collagenase-1 to inhibition by long-chain fatty acids,
the possible role of the fibronectin-like domain (a domain unique to
gelatinases) in binding inhibitory fatty acids was investigated.
Affinity and kinetic studies with a recombinant fibronectin-like domain
of gelatinase A and with a recombinant mutant of gelatinase A from
which this domain had been deleted pointed to an interaction of
long-chain fatty acids with the fibronectin-like domain of the
protease. Surface plasmon resonance studies on the interaction of
long-chain fatty acids with the three individual type II modules of the
fibronectin-like domain of gelatinase A revealed that the first type II
module is primarily responsible for binding these compounds.
