Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic antigen mediated disease in children and adults associated with substantial esophageal remodeling and fibrosis. The expression of the remodeling-associated matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) has not been previously detailed in EoE. MMP-2 and -14 expression and cellular localization was assessed using qPCR and immunohistochemistry/immunofluorescence in EoE fibroblasts, active and inactive pediatric EoE biopsies, and non-diseased control biopsies. The effect of TGFβ1 treatment on MMP-2 expression in cultured esophageal epithelial (HET1A) cells was analyzed. MMP-2 and -14 mRNA were expressed in EoE fibroblasts and biopsies. Proliferating epithelial cells produced MMP-14 more abundantly in EoE than in controls (p<0.001) and the degree of epithelial MMP-14 expression correlated positively with basal zone hyperplasia (r=0.65, p=0.002). EoE lamina propria had higher numbers of MMP-2 and -14 positive cells (906 ± 167 and 701 ± 93 cells/mm2) as compared with controls (258 ± 93 p<0.01 and 232 ± 54 cells/mm2 p<0.01) and MMP-14 expression correlated with the severity of fibrosis. Following therapy with topical corticosteroids, MMP-14 and MMP-2 were significantly diminished (p<0.01). TGFβ1 increased the expression and secretion of MMP-2 from esophageal epithelial HET1A cells. MMP-2 and -14 are elevated in pediatric EoE subjects and significantly decrease following topical corticosteroid therapy. TGFβ1 increases MMP-2 in esophageal epithelial cells. This alludes to previously unappreciated role for MMPs in EoE associated esophageal remodeling and a potential positive feedback loop via TGFβ1.
