Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases that degrade extracellular matrix components. MMPs play important roles in tissue remodeling during processes like wound healing and organ development by breaking down collagen, elastin, fibronectin and other matrix proteins. Their activity is regulated by tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). Abnormal MMP activity is associated with diseases like cancer, atherosclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis by facilitating tissue invasion or destruction.

Coagulation: In medicine, the clotting of blood. The process by which the blood clots to form solid masses, or clots.
More than 30 types of cells and substances in blood affect clotting. The process is initiated by blood platelets. Platelets produce a substance that combines with calcium ions in the blood to form thromboplastin, which in turn converts the protein prothrombin into thrombin in a complex series of reactions. Thrombin, a proteolytic enzyme, converts fibrinogen, a protein substance, into fibrin, an insoluble protein that forms an intricate network of minute threadlike structures called fibrils and causes the blood plasma to gel. The blood cells and plasma are enmeshed in the network of fibrils to form the clot.

The Cell membrane also known as the Plasma membrane.
It is a Biological Membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the
outside environment.
It consists of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins.
The Lipid layer made up of three types of lipid molecules such as Phospholipids,
Cholesterols and Glycolipids.
The bilayer arrangement occurs because the lipid are amphipathic molecule
(Both Polar and Nonpolar parts)
Phospholipids – Phosphate (Polar) – Head – Hydrophilic
Lipid (Non Polar) – Tail – Hydrophobic
Cholesterols – Slightly Amphipathic
Glycolipids – Carbohydrate (Polar) – Head
Lipid (Non Polar) – Tail
Functions of Plasma Membrane:
Acts as a barrier separating inside and outside of the cell.
Controls the flow of substances into and out of the cell.
Helps identify the cell to other cells (e.g., immune cells).
Participates in intercellular signalling.
CYTOPLASM
Cytoplasm consists of all the cellular contents between the plasma membrane
and the nucleus and has two components.

b) Organelles
a) Cytosol: (pH - 7)
The Cytosol (Intracellular fluid) is the fluid portion of the cytoplasm that
surrounds organelles.
Cytosol is 75 – 90% of water plus various dissolved and suspended components.
Among these are different types of ions, glucose, amino acid, fatty acid, protein,
lipid, ATP and waste products.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

3. INTRODUCTION
▪ Living tissues are not just accumulations of tightly packed cells.
▪ Much of a tissue's volume is made up of extracellular space .This void is filled with a
complex meshwork called the extracellular matrix.
▪ If cells were seeds then the extracellular matrix (ECM) would be the soil.
▪ In addition to providing structural support for the cells embedded within a tissue, the
extracellular matrix guides their division, growth, and development.
▪ Hence ,the extracellular matrix largely determines how a tissue looks and functions.
4. ▪ CONTENTS OF ECM
Collagen Elastin Fibronectin Laminin Growth factors
and
Metalloproteinases
5. CONTENTS OF ECM
▪ Collagen-Main structural protein in the extracellular space.
Type I: skin, tendon, bone Type II: cartilage
Type III: main component of reticular fibers, commonly found alongside type I.
Type IV: basement membrane Type V: cell surfaces, hair and placenta
▪ Elastin-Highly elastic protein in connective tissue and allows many tissues in the body to
resume their shape after stretching or contracting.
6. CONTENTS OF ECM
▪ Fibronectin-located within the basement membrane and key role in cell
adhesion and wound healing response to injury.
▪ Laminins-are among the first proteins of the ECM to appear in embryos ,role in
cell differentiation and migration
▪ Growth Factors-The ECM has been referred to as a ‘reservoir’ for GFs. VEGF,
FGF and TGF are tied to the ECM through heparan sulphate.
▪ Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs)
7. TALE(TAIL) OF MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASES
▪ MMPs were discovered, in 1962, by Jerome Gross while studying the
degradation of triple-helical collagen during the metamorphosis of a tadpole
tail.
Tad pole tail
Area of clearing
Collagen gel
8. METALLOPROTEINASES
▪ The timely breakdown of extracellular matrix (ECM) is essential for embryonic
development, morphogenesis, reproduction, and tissue resorption and remodeling.
▪ Metalloproteinases /Matrixins are a large group of zinc-dependent proteases
responsible for cleaving and rebuilding connective tissue.
9. N-terminal propeptide domain-MMPs are
initially synthesized as inactive
zymogens with a pro-peptide domain that
must be removed before the enzyme is active
-Cysteine switch
C-Terminal Domain-Structurally similar
to proteins of the hemopexin family. The
domain has a relatively large surface
area for protein-protein interactions.
Catalytic Domain-Contains two zinc ions and
two or three calcium ions. The first Zn ion
present in the active site directly participates in
catalytic processes. Calcium ions are necessary
to stabilize the domain structure
11. COLLAGENASES
▪ Collagenases are enzymes that break the peptide bonds in collagen.
▪ MMP-1, MMP-8, and MMP-13 are the enzymes with the capacity to cleave
the triple helix of fibrillar collagen.
▪ Interstitial collagenase(MMP-1) has preferential activity against type III
collagen.
▪ MMP-1 is produced and secreted predominantly by cells prevalent in the
post acute stages of wound healing (fibroblasts, endothelial cells)
12. COLLAGENASES
▪ Polymorphonuclear collagenase (MMP-8) has an affinity for type I collagen.
▪ MMP-8 is stored in granules within the neutrophils and once activated can be
released in seconds.
▪ MMP-13 appears to have the unique ability to cleave type I, type II, and type
III collagen.
13. GELATINASES
▪ Gelatinase is a proteolytic enzyme that allows a living organism to hydrolyse gelatin
into its sub-compounds .
▪ The gelatinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9) cleave collagen types IV, V, VII, and X, elastin,
basement membranes and denatured collagen.
▪ The gelatinases may also act synergistically with the collagenase family by further
degrading types I, II, and III.
▪ MMP-2 is secreted by fibroblasts, MMP-9 is produced predominantly by leukocytes
and keratinocytes.
14. STROMELYSINS
▪ Due to their broad base of substrate specificity, stromelysins (MMP-3, MMP-7,
MMP-10, MMP-11, and MMP-12) play a varied role in degradation of the
extracellular matrix.
▪ Degrades collagen types II, III, IV, IX, an X, proteoglycans, fibronectin, laminin,
and elastin.
15. MEMBRANE-TYPE MATRIX
METALLOPROTEINASES
▪ Members of this class of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-14, MMP-15, MMP-
16, and MMP-17) have certain unique structural characteristics.
▪ They are not secreted into the extracellular matrix.
▪ Rather, they exist on cell membranes and appear to function by binding to other
matrix metalloproteinases and activating them.
16. ACTIVATION AND DEACTIVATION
1)Gene level by transcriptional control
2)Molecular level by requiring factors to
convert the proenzyme form to the active
form.
3)Tissue level -Through Tissue Inhibitors
of Metalloproteinases(TIMP)
17. TRANSCRIPTIONAL CONTROL
▪ Two extensively studied factors which influence the MMP transcription are:
IL-1β and TGF – β
▪ IL-1 β stimulates, whereas TGF- β inhibits MMP gene expression .
▪ Transcription of many MMPs is promoted by inflammatory cytokines, growth
factors, chemokines, oncogenes
18. MOLECULAR CONTROL
▪ MMPs are synthesized as inactive zymogens and require activation.
▪ The cysteine in the propeptide interacts with a Zn2+ ion in the enzyme’s active site.
▪ This interaction, [Zn2+-cysteine], keeps the proMMP inactive
▪ Activation can occur by physical or chemical means by disturbing the cysteine –zinc
interaction of the cysteine switch .
19. DEACTIVATION OF MMP
▪ Tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMP) are major endogenous
regulators of MMP
▪ The critical points in MMP inhibition by TIMPs are centred on the
disulfidebonds at Cys and Cys.
▪ TIMPs catalysis of disulfide bond formation between cysteines prevents
autocatalytic MMPs activation through the cysteine switch mechanism.
▪ In addition, TIMPs in complexes with other molecules involve in the inhibition
of already active MMP
20. PHYSIOLOGICAL ROLES
▪ Apoptosis
▪ Ovulation
▪ Inflammation
▪ Angiogenesis
▪ Bone remodeling
▪ Mammary gland development
▪ Embryogenic remodeling
▪ Organ morphogenesis
21. APOPTOSIS
▪ MMP-3 has pro-apoptotic actions on neighboring epithelial cells by loss of
β1-integrin engagement and epidermal growth factor receptor expression.
▪ Whereas MMP-7 is able to release membrane bound Fas ligand and
induces epithelial cell apoptosis.
22. OVULATION
▪ The preovulatory LH surge stimulates an increase in ovarian matrix
metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their associated inhibitors, the TIMPs prior to
follicular rupture .
▪ Proteolytic enzymes are locally activated that digest a small part of the dominant
follicle’s wall and extracellular matrix, releasing the oocyte .
24. INFLAMMATION
▪ MMPs function as inflammatory cytokines during vascular formation or
remodeling.
▪ In matured and quiescent vessels, active MMPs are absent or expressed at low
levels.
▪ But in tissues undergoing abnormal angiogenesis and vascular remodeling, MMPs
are markedly expressed, secreted, and activated.
▪ Macrophages and neutrophils are an important resource of MMPs in vascular
tissue.
25. MMP IN INFLAMMATION
▪ TNF-α and ILs MMPStimulate
• Degrade ECM to facilitate migration and
recruitment of cells.
• Cleave cell surface receptors and other non-ECM
molecules to mediate adhesion, proliferation, and
apoptosis of cells.
26. MMP IN WOUND HEALING
▪ Healing of a skin wound requires several processes :
Cell migration
ECM degradation and
Tissue reorganization.
MMP-1 :Keratinocyte migration
MMP-3: Wound contraction
27. VASCULAR REMODELING
▪ Hemodynamic forces such as shear stress and arterial pressure regulate MMP
expression and participate in vascular remodeling.
▪ Elevated transmural pressure Extracellular signal–regulated kinases (ERKs)
NF-κB
↑MMP 2 and 9
Remodeling due to hemodynamic adaptation of the vein to the arterial condition
leads to saphenous vein graft bypass failure.
28. BONE REMODELLING
▪ During long bone development, an initial cartilaginous template is formed and
replaced by bone in a coordinated and refined program.
▪ Chondrocyte proliferation and maturation, vascular invasion, recruitment of adult
stem cells and intense remodeling of cartilage and bone matrix.
▪ Osteoclast express –MMP 9 and 13
29. MAMMARY GLAND DEVELOPMENT
▪ The epithelial ductal network of the mammary gland expands greatly during
puberty in response to both local and systemic signals.
▪ This process requires degradation of the basement membrane and ECM,
restructuring of the endogenous vascular network and large-scale epithelial
morphogenesis
31. EMBROGENESIS
▪ Embryonic growth and tissue morphogenesis are fundamental events that require
disruption of ECM barriers to allow cell migration and matrix microenvironment
remodeling.
▪ Trophoblasts express high levels of MMP-9
▪ MMP2 and 9 enable trophoblast cells to penetrate uterine
vasculature during Implantation
▪ Development of the placenta starts with the invasion and migration of trophoblast cells
into the maternal tissue to establish connection with the maternal circulation .
32. MMPS IN PATHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS

33. MMP IN DISEASES OF CNS
▪ MMPs are largely absent from the normal CNS and their upregulation has been
reported in several neurological disorders and after injury.
▪ Metalloproteinases in neuroinflammation and Multiple sclerosis: MS is an
immune disorder characterized by demyelination and axonal loss.
▪ The presence of proteinases(MMP 9) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients
with MS has been known for over 20 years.
▪ MS patients show increased MMP9 messenger RNA in leukocytes and elevated
MMP9 levels in serum.
34. MMP IN DISEASES OF CNS
▪ Leukocytes use MMPs to disrupt the basement membrane of the blood–brain
barrier.
▪ MMPs can disrupt myelin and cause
demyelination.
▪ MS patients treated with interferon-β
show a decreased number of MMP9
expressing leukocytes.
35. MMP IN DISEASES OF CNS
▪ A role for metalloproteinases in stroke is indicated by the finding that MMP2 and -
9 are rapidly upregulated after focal cerebral ischaemia .
▪ The elevated MMP expression might contribute to the tissue destruction in stroke.
▪ Viral infections of the CNS have been increasingly associated with the production
of MMPs.
▪ Elevated expression of MMP9 has been detected in the CSF of HIV-infected
patients.
36. MMP IN CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES
▪ Atherosclerosis:
MMP 9-Adherence of circulating monocytes to the vascular endothelium,
through which they gain entry to the sub intimal tissue.
Plaque ruptures are associated with increased MMP-9 proteolytic activity.
Increased activity of TIMPs-Vascular calcification
37. MMP IN CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES
Aneurysm :Consists of destruction and functional loss of elastin in the aortic
medium.
▪ MMP plays a significant role in weakening the ECM components (elastin,
collagen, fibronectin and proteoglycans), thus harming the aortic wall.
Varicose veins: Interstitial collagen III is important for the stretch resistance of the
connective tissue of veins.
▪ MMP-3 may contribute to vein wall weakness and varicose vein formation via
excessive degradation of collagen III.
38. MMPS IN ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
▪ Myocardial collagens maintain the structural integrity of adjoining myocytes and
cardiac pump function.
▪ Myocardialinfarction (MI) leads to complex architectural alterations involving both the
infarcted and noninfarcted myocardium.
▪ Patients exhibiting extensive infarct expansion after MI are more likely to experience
complications:
Congestive heart failure
Aneurysm formation and
Myocardial rupture.
39. MMPS IN ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
▪ One of the determinants of left ventricular remodeling is damage to and loss of
the myocardial extracellular matrix (ECM) during the healing process after MI.
▪ Reduction in LV dilatation after MI that can be achieved with MMP inhibitor
treatment.
40. MMPS IN LUNG FIBROBLASTIC DISEASE
▪ Lung fibrosis is the final result of a large and heterogeneous group of lung
disorders, known as interstitial lung diseases.
▪ Scar formation, the accumulation of excess fibrous
connective tissue leads to thickening of the walls,
and causes reduced oxygen supply in the blood.
▪ MMP1/Collagenase1 :Expressed primarily by epithelial
cells –Cystic spaces (Honey comb pattern)
▪ MMP2- Tissue migration of fibrocytes
41. MMPS IN EMPHYSEMA
▪ The lung is a sophisticated matrix scaffold on which lung epithelium and
endothelium reside.
▪ When the wall of an alveolus is destroyed, the air sacs coalesce to form larger
ones.
▪ These enlarged airspaces empty more slowly, resulting in airflow obstruction,
the hallmark of COPD.
42. MMPS IN EMPHYSEMA
▪ Of all the MMPs, the evidence supporting a role for macrophage elastase
(MMP12) in the pathogenesis of emphysema is the strongest.
▪ Mmp12 expression is greatly increased in response to cigarette smoke exposure,
due to a number of overlapping mechanisms.
▪ Activation of the plasmin/thrombin–proteinase activated receptor (PAR-1)
cascade leads to the expression of Mmp12.
▪ Inhibited by A1AT and TGF-β .
43.
44. MMPS IN LIVER FIBROSIS
▪ Liver fibrosis represents chronic wound repair following diverse insults.
▪ MMPs as bad role: In liver fibrogenesis hepatic stellate cells undergo dramatic
morphological and functional changes –star shaped HSC are converted to
myofibroblastic cells .
▪ Proteolytic degradation of the normal ECM helping inmobilization, migration and
proliferation of cells during repair and regeneneration.
▪ MMPs as good role: The MMP-mediated resolution of tissue fibrosis may act
through ECM degradation as well as by induction of HSC apoptosis.
45. MMPS IN BONE DISEASES
▪ The irreversible destruction of the cartilage, tendon, and bone that comprise synovial
joints is the hallmark of both rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA).
▪ Cartilage is made up of proteoglycans and type II collagen
▪ Tendon and bone are composed primarily of type I collagen
▪ RA is an autoimmune disease affecting numerous joints throughout the body
▪ OA develops in a small number of joints, usually resulting from chronic overuse or
injury.
46. MMPS IN BONE DISEASES
▪ In both RA and OA:
Inflammatory cytokines:IL-1 βand TNF-α MMPs that can degrade all
components of the extracellular matrix.
▪ MMP-1 synovial cells that line the joints
▪ MMP-13 is a product of the chondrocytes that reside in the cartilage
In addition to collagen, MMP-13 also degrades the proteoglycan molecule,
aggrecan, giving it a dual role in matrix destruction.
stimulate
47. MMPS IN TUMOR GROWTH
MMPs can regulate the growth of tumour cells by the following mechanisms :
▪ Release of cell membrane bound precursors of some growth factors
▪ Modulating the bioavailability of growth factors that are sequestrated by ECM
proteins.
▪ Indirectly regulating proliferative signals through integrins
▪ Because of the shedding of the E cadherin, β catenin translocates to the nucleus
and leads to proliferation
MMPs can inhibit growth by
▪ Activation of TGF-β
▪ Generation of proapoptotic molecules. e.g. Fas ligand or TNF α
48. REGULATION OF INVASION AND METASTASIS
▪ Tumour invasion is a multistep process in which cell motility is coupled
with proteolysis and involves interaction of cells with ECM .
▪ Cadherin are cell adhesion molecules that mediate cell-cell adhesion in
normal mucosal cells and maintain epithelial integrity and its deregulation is
associated with cancer progression .
49. REGULATION OF INVASION AND METASTASIS
▪ Decreased expression of E-cadherin causes loss of cell adhesion and
contributes to cell dissociation, increased motility and invasion .

Therefore, MMPs are inflammatory mediators linking inflammation with angiogenesis and vascular remodeling.
At the wound edge, keratinocytes migrate into the denuded area to re-epithelialize the wound. These cells migrate on a collagen substrate. During this process, the provisional matrix consisting of fibrin and plasma proteins is removed. In the subcutaneous tissue, fibroblasts contract the ECM to facilitate wound closure.

Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (Mmp9)- and Mmp13-null femurs display greatly expanded hypertrophic cartilage zones (HC; red line) and altered trabecular bone (TB; blue line). Despite this expansion, Mmp9- and Mmp13-null phenotypes eventually resolve, resulting in good bone formation. The Mmp9 Mmp13double mutant has an even greater expansion of hypertrophic cartilage, and significantly and persistently shorter long bones.

T helper cells release il 17 , after this il 17 reacts with receptor of epithelial cell thr will be release of chemocines ccl2 which stimulate macrophage to release mmp12 . This mmp12 wil realse elastototic factors from elastin fibres which are chemotactic for monocytes.
Schematic of emphysema pathogenesis. Recruitment of inflammatory cells is depicted on the right. Th17 lymphocytes release IL-17, which interacts with its receptor, IL-17RA, on lung epithelial cells, inducing the release of CC and CXC chemokines. The presence of Th1 immunity drives the release of IFNγ inducible chemokines from CD8+ lymphocytes, such as CXCL10. Interaction with CXCR3 on macrophages leads to the release of MMP12. Destruction of lung matrix is depicted on the left. The release of MMP12 generates EFs from elastic fibers, which are chemotactic for monocytes. Similarly, MMP9 activity nicks collagen fibers enabling prolyl endopeptidase to generate PGP, which is chemotactic for neutrophils. Collectively, the release of NE, MMP1, and MMP12 likely accounts for the majority of elastin and collagen degradation in emphysema.
The zinc(II) ion displays
suitable properties for catalytic and structural functions
within proteins. Amongst these properties are: (a) a great
stability towards redox reactions; (b) a d10 electronic configuration
where the coordination geometry (4–6) is not dependent
on ligand-field stabilization; (c) an intermediate
polarizability or borderline hardness allowing coordination
of N, S, and O donor atoms; and (d) a Lewis acid useful in
activating coordinated substrates, while still maintaining
ligand nucleophilicity
