Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP’s) may play a role in blood brain barrier (BBB) disruption following ischemic stroke. We hypothesized that plasma concentrations of MMP-9 are associated with a marker of BBB disruption in patients evaluated for acute stroke. Patients underwent MRI on presentation and approximately 24 hours later. The MRI marker, termed Hyperintense Acute reperfusion injuRy Marker (HARM), is gadolinium enhancement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) on fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) MRI. Plasma MMP-9 and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) was measured by ELISA. Logistic regression models tested for predictors of HARM on 24 hour follow-up scans separately for MMP-9 and the MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratio. For the 41 patients enrolled diagnoses were: acute ischemic cerebrovascular syndrome 33 (80.6%), intracerebral hemorrhage 6 (14.6%), stroke mimic 1 (2.4 %) and no stroke 1 (2.4%). HARM was present in 17 (41.5%) patients. In model 1, HARM was associated with baseline plasma MMP-9 concentration: odds ratio (OR) = 1.01 (95% confidence interval (CI) =1.001-1.019), p=0.033. In model 2, HARM was associated with the MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratio: OR=4.94 (95% CI=1.27-19.14), p=0.021. Baseline MMP-9 was a significant predictor of HARM at 24-hour follow-up, supporting the hypothesis that MMP-9 is associated with BBB disruption. If the association between MMP-9 and BBB disruption is confirmed in future studies, HARM may be a useful imaging marker to evaluate MMP-9 inhibition in ischemic stroke and other populations with BBB disruption.
