Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are proteolytic enzymes
that degrade the components of the extracellular matrix (ECM). The balance between MMPs and their inhibitors [tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs)] in the pericellular environment determines the most significant proteolytic events in tissue remodeling. In
vitro evidence is accumulating that these molecules may be crucial in the maturation of neural cells. Here, we investigated the
in vivo expression of MMPs 2, 3, and 9 and TIMPs 1, 2, and 3 in the developing and adult rat cerebellum using
immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. During
postnatal development, all Purkinje (PK) cell somata expressed all the
MMPs and TIMPs studied, whereas their growing dendritic trees expressed
only MMP 3 and TIMP 3. In the adult, MMP 3 was confined to PK cell
bodies, whereas TIMP 3 was expressed in PK cell somata and processes.
Irrespective of the developmental stage, Bergmann glial processes
contained only MMP 9, but their somata contained both TIMP 1 and MMP 9. In granular cells, MMPs 3 and 9 and TIMPs 1, 2, and 3 were chiefly detected at a time when migration is known to be maximal; except for
that of TIMP 1, their expression persisted in the internal granular
layer in the adult. The functional relevance of MMP expression was
verified by gelatin zymography. MMP 9 activity was maximal on postnatal
day 10 (P10) and was detectable at a low level on P15 and in the adult,
whereas MMP 2 activity remained similar throughout postnatal
development. Regional and cell-specific expression of MMPs and TIMPs
closely reflects the successive stages of cerebellar development,
thereby suggesting a pivotal role for ECM proteolysis in brain
development and plasticity.
Key words:
