✦ Synopsis


We have investigated the production of metalloproteinases (MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-9) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP-1 and TIMP-2) in bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and a healthy control. The new findings of this paper is that BMSCs of the MM patients exhibited intrinsic MMP-1, MMP-2 and TIMP-2 overproduction. Production of MMP-1, TIMP-2 and activation of MMP-2 was additionally enhanced in co-cultures of BMSCs with RPMI8226 cells. The ratio between MMP-2 and TIMP-2 was significantly higher in BMSCs of the MM patients than in control. BMSCs of both the control and the MM patients exhibited the presence of MMP-9 latent form, but in co-cultures RPMI8226 cells were the main producers of this metalloproteinase.

Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) plays a crucial role in invasion and metastasis of malignant tumors. Membrane type 1-MMP (MT1-MMP) was originally identified as an activator of MMP-2. Tissue inhibitor of MMP-2 (TIMP-2) was identified as an inhibitor of MMP-2 and MT1-MMP. However, TIMP-2 was report
