The interaction of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 has been implicated in the formation of coronary aneurysms in Kawasaki disease. MMP-9 and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 were distributed predominantly in the granulocytes and platelets, respectively, in patients with Kawasaki disease. The plasma values of MMP-9 correlated positively with the circulating neutrophil count. Inhibiting the activity of granulocytes and maintaining the platelet activity might prevent coronary aneurysms.
