malfunction | MMP-7 knockout mice experience higher mortality, elevated serum creatinine, and more severe histologic lesions after ischemic or toxic insults. Tubular apoptosis and interstitial inflammation are more prominent in MMP-7 knockout kidneys, accompanied by increased expression of FasL and other components of the extrinsic apoptotic pathway, as well as increased expression of pro-inflammatory chemokines. Ablation of MMP-7 promotes tubular cell apoptosis after acute kidney injury (AKI) augmenting renal inflammation, phenotype, overview. Exogenous MMP-7 ameliorates kidney injury in MMP-7 knockout mice after ischemia/reperfusion, mechanism underlying renal protection of MMP-7 in AKI. MMP-7 augmentes c-fos and PCNA expression induced by mitogens-rich serum in renal tubules ex vivo | Mus musculus |
physiological function | the primary function of MMP-7 is to break down the extracellular matrix by digesting casein, gelatins, fibronectin, and proteoglycan. MMP-7 is also capable of cleaving other substrates and plays a role in E-cadherin ectodomain shedding, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) release, and activation of other proteinases. Exogenous MMP-7 ameliorates kidney injury in MMP-7 knockout mice after ischemia/reperfusion. In vitro, MMP-7 protects tubular epithelial cells against apoptosis by directly degrading FasL. In isolated tubules ex vivo, MMP-7 promotes cell proliferation by degrading E-cadherin and thereby liberating beta-catenin, priming renal tubules for regeneration.
