Matrix-degrading metalloproteinases may play a role in the pathophysiology of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BDP). We, therefore, evaluated correlations between gelatinase activities [metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9] or tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 levels present in the airways during the initial phase of hyaline membrane disease and the onset of BPD. Tracheal aspirates were obtained within 6 h of birth (day 0) from 64 intubated neonates with a gestational age < or =30 wk. Forty-five neonates were resampled on day 3 or 5. Total MMP-2 level measured by zymography fell with time, whereas total MMP-9 level and TIMP-1 levels, assayed by ELISA, increased; the MMP-9 increase correlated with the increase in airway inflammatory cell numbers. Among the parameters measured on day 0, 3, or 5, lower total MMP-2 level, lower birth weight, and higher fraction of inspired oxygen on day 0 were significantly and independently associated with the development of BPD. In conclusion, MMP-9 level and TIMP-1 levels increased after birth but are not linked to BPD outcome. In contrast, low MMP-2 level at birth is strongly associated with the development of BPD.
