摘要:

目的 检测基质金属蛋白酶-1、3、9(MMP-1、3、9)在曝光部位和非曝光部位皮肤中的表达,探讨它们在皮肤光老化机制中的作用。方法 应用免疫组化方法分别对23例女性健康志愿者前臂伸侧(曝光)和上臂内侧(非曝光部位)皮肤石蜡标本中的MMP-1、MMP-3、MMP-9进行检测,表达强度以免疫反应强度分布指数(IRIDI)表示,采用Wilcoxon符号秩和检验、Mann-Whitney秩和检验及Spearman秩相关分析进行统计学处理。结果 MMP-1、MMP-3、MMP-9在曝光和非曝光部位均表达,曝光部位皮肤组织中MMP-1、MMP-3、MMP-9的IRIDI均值(范围)分别为7.70(3 ~ 12)、9.22(6 ~ 12)、8.30(6 ~ 12),非曝光部位分别为4.26(2 ~ 6)、5.39(2 ~ 9)、4.04(1 ~ 6),曝光部位MMP-1、MMP-3、MMP-9的IRIDI均显著高于非曝光部位(均P < 0.01)。50岁以上组曝光部位皮肤组织MMP-1、MMP-3、MMP-9的IRIDI分别为9.17(6 ~ 12)、10.58(8 ~ 12)、8.92(8 ~ 12),非曝光部位分别为4.75(2 ~ 6)、6.42(4 ~ 9)、4.33(3 ~ 6),曝光部位均显著高于非曝光部位(P < 0.05);50岁以下组曝光部位皮肤组织MMP-1、MMP-3、MMP-9的IRIDI分别为6.09(3 ~ 8)、7.73(6 ~ 9)、7.64(6 ~ 12),非曝光部位分别为3.73(2 ~ 6)、4.27(2 ~ 8)、3.73(1 ~ 6),曝光部位均显著高于非曝光部位(P < 0.05);50岁以上组曝光部位显著高于50岁以下组,而两组非曝光部位皮肤组织MMP-1、MMP-9的IRIDI值差异无统计学意义(P > 0.05)。曝光部位皮肤组织MMP-1、MMP-3、MMP-9的IRIDI值与年龄呈正相关(r = 0.66、0.69、0.74,P < 0.01),非曝光部位皮肤组织MMP-1、MMP-9的IRIDI值与年龄无相关性。结论 MMP-1、MMP-3、MMP-9在曝光部位表达显著高于非曝光部位,三者在光老化的发生发展中均起作用,但作用机制可能不同。

Abstract:

Objective To study the expression of matrix metalloproteinase(MMP)-1, -3 and -9 in sun-exposed and -unexposed skin as well as its significance in the mechanism of skin photoaging. Methods Skin samples were resected from the extensor side of forearm (sun-exposed area) and flexor side of upper arm (sun-unexposed area) of 23 healthy female volunteers. The expression of MMP-1, -3 and -9 was detected by immunohistochemical staining in 46 skin samples. Immunoreactive intensity distribution index (IRIDI) was calculated to assess the expression of MMP-1, -3 and -9. Wilcoxon signed ranks test, Mann-Whitney U-test and Spearman rank correlation analysis were performed. Results MMP-1, -3 and -9 were expressed in both sun-exposed and -unexposed skin. The average IRIDI value for MMP-1, -3 and -9 was 7.70 (range, 3 to 12), 9.22 (range, 6 to 12), 8.30 (range, 6 to 12) in sun-exposed skin, and 4.26 (range, 2 to 6), 5.39(range, 2 to 9), 4.04(range, 1 to 6) in sun-unexposed skin, respectively; significant difference existed between sun-exposed and -unexposed skin in the three parameters (all P < 0.01). A significant increase was observed in the average IRIDI value for MMP-1, -3 and -9 in sun-exposed skin vs. sun-unexposed skin in women above 50 years of age (9.17 vs 4.75, 10.58 vs 6.42, 8.92 vs 4.33, respectively, all P < 0.05). In women younger than 50 years, the average IRIDI value for MMP-1, -3 and -9 was 6.09 (range, 3 to 8), 7.73 (range, 6 to 9), 7.64 (range, 6 to 12) in sun-exposed skin, significantly higher than that in sun-unexposed skin [3.73 (range, 2 to 6), 4.27 (range, 2 to 8), 3.73 (range, 1 to 6), all P < 0.05]. Increased IRIDI scores of MMP-1, -3 and -9 were noticed in sun-exposed skin in women above 50 years of age vs. those younger than 50 years, but there was no statistical difference in MMP-1 or MMP-9 between the two aged groups in sun-unexposed skin(all P > 0.05). The IRIDI scores of MMP-1, MMP-3 and MMP-9 were positively correlated with age(r = 0.66, 0.69, 0.74, all P < 0.01) in sun-exposed skin, but the IRIDI scores of MMP-1 and MMP-9 uncorrelated with age in sun-unexposed skin. Conclusions There is an elevated expression of MMP-1, -3 and -9 in sun-exposed skin vs. sun-unexposed skin, hinting that these three MMPs play a role in the occurrence and development of photoaging, but their biological mechanism may be different.
