Chronic humoral rejection (CHR) is an important cause of late graft failures following kidney transplantation. Overall, the pathophysiology of CHR is poorly understood. Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), a type IV collagenase, has been implicated in chronic kidney disease and allograft rejection in previous studies. We examined the presence of MMP-2 in allograft biopsies and in the urine of kidney transplant recipients with CHR. MMP-2 staining was detected by immunohistochemistry in podocytes for all CHR patients but less frequently in patients with other renal complications. Urinary MMP-2 levels were also significantly higher in CHR patients (median 4942 pg/mL, N = 27) compared to non-CHR patients (median 598 pg/mL, N = 65; p < 0.001). Elevated urinary MMP-2 correlated with higher levels of proteinuria in both CHR and non-CHR patients. Longitudinal analysis indicated that increase in urine MMP-2 coincided with initial diagnosis of CHR as documented by the biopsies. Using an enzymatic assay, we demonstrated that MMP-2 was present in its active form in the urine of patients with CHR. Overall, our findings associate MMP-2 with glomerular injury as well as interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy observed in patients with CHR.
