DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The innate immune system plays critical roles in maintaining a healthy lung and in shaping the responses to challenge. As for most biological processes, the extent, pattern, duration, and consequence of inflammation are controlled by a balance between positive and negative factors. Our preliminary data indicates that stromelysin-2 (MMP10), a member of the matrix metalloproteinase gene family, functions to govern the influx and activation state of infiltrated macrophages and has diverse roles in cigarette smoke-induced lung damage. On one hand, it moderates the extent of inflammation, particularly, the influx and activation state of infiltrated macrophages. On the other, MMP10 promotes alveolar destruction. We propose that these phenotypes are due to differences in macrophage activation. Specifically, we hypothesize that MMP10 moderates macrophage activation towards an M1 phenotype (classically activated; proinflammatory), thereby promoting the differentiation of more M2 (alternatively activated or anti-inflammatory) macrophages. M2 macrophages, which are known to over-represented in the lungs of smokers, are considered to be reparative and to mediate matrix remodeling. However, with sustained inflammation, a reparative phenotype would lead excessive remodeling and tissue destruction. Hence, we further hypothesize that by promoting the differentiation of M2 macrophages, MMP10 contributes-directly or indirectly-to development of emphysema. To study the role of MMP10 in alveolar destruction more detail, we propose to 1) determine the role of MMP10 in shaping macrophage differentiation; 2) determine the relative roles of epithelial- and macrophage-derived MMP10; and 3) assess the role of MMP10 in governing the macrophage response to bacterial infection. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: These studies will characterize a novel, fundamental mechanism controlling macrophage activation and tissue destruction in COPD. Knowledge from this work may provide an effective strategy to limit inflammation-associated damage not only in lung, but in all tissues.

描述（由申请人提供）：先天免疫系统在维持健康的肺和塑造对攻击的反应方面起着关键作用。对于大多数生物过程，炎症的程度，模式，持续时间和后果由积极和消极因素之间的平衡控制。我们的初步数据表明，基质金属蛋白酶基因家族的成员溶基质素-2（MMP 10）的功能是控制浸润巨噬细胞的流入和激活状态，并在香烟烟雾诱导的肺损伤中发挥不同的作用。一方面，它缓和炎症的程度，特别是浸润的巨噬细胞的流入和活化状态。另一方面，MMP 10促进肺泡破坏。我们认为这些表型是由于巨噬细胞活化的差异。具体而言，我们假设MMP 10调节巨噬细胞活化朝向M1表型（经典活化;促炎），从而促进更多M2（替代活化或抗炎）巨噬细胞的分化。已知在吸烟者的肺中过度存在的M2巨噬细胞被认为是修复性的并介导基质重塑。然而，在持续炎症的情况下，修复表型将导致过度重塑和组织破坏。因此，我们进一步假设，通过促进M2巨噬细胞的分化，MMP 10直接或间接地促进了肺气肿的发展。为了更详细地研究MMP 10在肺泡破坏中的作用，我们建议1）确定MMP 10在塑造巨噬细胞分化中的作用; 2）确定上皮和巨噬细胞来源的MMP 10的相对作用; 3）评估MMP 10在控制巨噬细胞对细菌感染的反应中的作用。 公共卫生关系：这些研究将描述控制COPD中巨噬细胞活化和组织破坏的新的基本机制。这项工作的知识可能提供一种有效的策略，以限制炎症相关的损害，不仅在肺，但在所有组织。
