Complications of liver cirrhosis and matrix metalloproteinases: clinical relationships

[Internal diseases]
Temirlan Ruslanovich Dudov; Pavel Koroy; Alexandr Yagoda;

The paper presents the resaults of study is to study the relationship of the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) with the features of the course of liver cirrhosis (LC). 159 patients with LC (53 women, 106 men) aged from 26 to 64 years were examined. The control group consisted of 72 practically healthy people. The blood content of TIMP-1, MMP-1 and MMP-9 was determined; the ratio of TIMP-1/MMP-1, TIMP-1/MMP-9 was calculated. There was an increase in the concentration of MMP-1 and TIMP-1 in the blood, the ratio of TIMP-1/MMP-9 and a decrease in the values of MMP-9, TIMP-1/MMP-1 in LC. Prognostically unfavorable variants of the disease (Child-Pugh B/C classes, values of MELD scale ≥9 points, sub- and decompensated portal hypertension, the presence of ascites or hepatic encephalopathy) were characterized by a higher content of TIMP-1, MMP-1, MMP-9 in the blood and lower values of TIMP-1/MMP-1, TIMP-1/MMP-9. In patients with LC with previous bleeding from the esophageal varices, a higher concentration of MMP-1 in the blood and lower values of TIMP-1/MMP-1 were recorded. Thus, the increase in serum levels of matrix metalloproteinases associated with the manifestations of portal hypertension indicates their role in the formation of complications of the disease.
