Background: In the synovial membrane of patients with rheumatoid arthritis ( RA), a strong expression of laminins and matrix degrading proteases was reported. Aim: To investigate the regulation of matrix metalloproteinases ( MMPs) in synovial fibroblasts ( SFs) of patients with osteoarthritis ( OA) and RA by attachment to laminin- 1 ( LM- 111) and in the presence or absence of costimulatory signals provided by transforming growth factor beta ( TGF beta).Methods: SFs were seeded in laminin- coated flasks and activated by addition of TGF beta. The expression of genes was investigated by quantitative reverse transcriptase- polymerase chain reaction ( qRT- PCR), immunocytochemistry and ELISA, and intracellular signalling pathways by immunoblotting, and by poisoning p38MAPK by SB203580, MEK- ERK by PD98059 and SMAD2 by A- 83- 01.Results: Attachment of SF to LM- 111 did not activate the expression of MMPs, but addition of TGFb induced a fivefold higher expression of MMP- 3. Incubation of SF on LM- 111 in the presence of TGFb induced a significant 12- fold higher expression of MMP- 3 mRNA, and secretion of MMP- 3 was elevated 20- fold above controls. Functional blocking of LM- 111 - integrin interaction reduced the laminin- activated MMP- 3 expression significantly. Stimulation of SF by LM- 111 and TGFb activated the p38MAPK, ERK and SMAD2 pathways, and inhibition of these pathways by using SB203580, PD98059 or A- 83- 01 confirmed the involvement of these pathways in the regulation of MMP- 3.Conclusion: Attachment of SF to LM- 111 by itself has only minor effects on the expression of MMP- 1 or MMP3, but it facilitates the TGF beta-induced expression of MMP- 3 significantly. This mode of MMP- 3 induction may therefore contribute to inflammatory joint destruction in RA independent of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin ( IL)1 beta or tumour necrosis factor ( TNF)alpha.
