3.1 MMP9與糖尿病動脈粥樣硬化
大血管病變是2型糖尿病的主要慢性并發(fā)癥,也是2型糖尿病死亡的主要原因,其基本病理變化是動脈粥樣硬化。動脈粥樣硬化過程中,血管內(nèi)皮細胞、平滑肌細胞、巨噬細胞、泡沫細胞均能合成和分泌MMP9,尤以巨噬細胞作用最強,MMP9降解基底膜,利于單核細胞入侵,加速oxLDL滲透。使糖尿病動脈粥樣斑塊較非糖尿病者更不穩(wěn)定。眾多研究表明2型糖尿病合并AS病變者MMP9水平較單純2型糖尿病者或單純AS者明顯升高。在動物模型中,Uemura等[14]用明膠酶譜及Western印跡分析、電子順磁共振等檢測發(fā)現(xiàn),不管是1型還是2型嚙齒類糖尿病動物模型,其血管組織和血漿中MMP9均明顯升高。Camp等[15]用酶譜分析方法觀察到與非糖尿病野生型鼠相比,糖尿病野生鼠血漿和左心室中MMP9的活性升高。而對糖尿病鼠而言,不管是野生型還是MMP9基因敲除鼠,心臟組織型TIMP的濃度均減少。而且MMP9活性的升高與心臟內(nèi)皮功能紊亂密切相關(guān)。在人體,李佳等[16]報道, 2型糖尿病患者血清MMP9含量明顯高于非糖尿病患者,治療4周時,MMP9水平即明顯下降,且其降低與HbA1c的降低呈正相關(guān)。在分子水平,Death等[17]也發(fā)現(xiàn)高糖培養(yǎng)可導致內(nèi)皮細胞和單核細胞MMP/TIMP系統(tǒng)表達失衡,特別是可使單核巨噬細胞MMP9表達和活性升高(P<0.05),加速糖尿病AS的形成并降低斑塊穩(wěn)定性。另外MMPs基因多態(tài)性與糖尿病大血管病變的發(fā)生有密切關(guān)系。劉寬芝等[18]發(fā)現(xiàn)與對照組和2型糖尿病組相比,大血管病變組的T等位基因和TT等位基因型頻率顯著高于健康對照組和無并發(fā)癥組。
糖尿病引起MMP9升高的機制目前研究主要集中在氧化低密度脂蛋白(OxLDL)和某些細胞因子的作用。糖尿病機體中低密度脂蛋白(LDL)的糖化和氧化明顯增加,OxLDL可直接上調(diào)單核細胞源性的巨噬細胞中MMP9的表達,而高密度脂蛋白(HDLC)可阻斷OxLDL的上述效應。2型糖尿病患者往往存在不同程度的IR,使高血壓的發(fā)病率顯著上升,長期的高血壓可使血管內(nèi)皮功能受損,加速糖尿病血管病變的發(fā)生、發(fā)展。陳雅靜等[19]報道, 2型糖尿病患者血清MMP9含量明顯升高,其升高程度與血壓呈正相關(guān)。糖尿病引起MMP9升高的具體機制的研究尚處于初步階段,有待進一步探索。
