Several matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) have been implicated in the development and outcome of coronary artery disease (CAD). We investigated whether MMP-12 and TIMP-1 levels were associated with risk, severity, and outcome of CAD. Plasma MMP-12 and TIMP- I levels are measured in 50 and 44 patients with CAD, respectively, by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Of all patients, 16 were taking statins. Patients who were not on statins were classified into 3 groups according to number of > 50% stenotic vessels. Compared with 29 volunteers without CAD, patients without statins (n = 34) had higher MMP-12 concentrations (1.71 vs 1.08 ng/ml, p = 0.021). MMP-12 levels were significantly lower in patients with than in those without statin treatment (0.99 vs 1.71 ng/ml, p = 0.008). There was no association between MMP-12 levels and number of >50% stenotic vessels. MMP-12 concentrations were not associated with outcome of CAD. However, plasma TIMP-1 levels were associated with restenosis independently of number of stenotic vessels and age (p = 0.035) but not with risk or severity of CAD. In conclusion, plasma MMP-12 concentration was associated with the presence of CAD. Statin therapy decreases plasma MMP-12 levels in patients with CAD. Increased TIMP-1 levels may prevent restenosis after angioplasty. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
