In vivo, transforming growth factor (TGF)-
1 and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) present at the site of airway injury are thought to contribute to epithelial wound repair. As TGF-1 can modulate MMP expression and MMPs play an important role in wound repair, we hypothesized that TGF-1 may enhance airway epithelial repair via MMPs secreted by epithelial cells. We evaluated the in vitro influence of TGF-1 on wound repair in human airway epithelial cells cultured under conditions allowing differentiation. The results showed that TGF-1 accelerated in vitro airway wound repair, whereas MMP inhibitors prevented this acceleration. In parallel, we examined the effect of TGF-1 on the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9. TGF-1 induced a dramatic increase of MMP-2 expression with an increased steady-state level of MMP-2 mRNA, contrasting with a slight increase in MMP-9 expression. To confirm the role of MMP-2, we subsequently evaluated the effect of MMP-2 on in vitro airway wound repair and demonstrated that the addition of MMP-2 reproduced the acceleration of wound repair induced by TGF-1. These results strongly suggest that TGF-1 increases in vitro airway wound repair via MMP-2 upregulation. It also raises the issue of a different in vivo biological role of MMP-2 and MMP-9 depending on the cytokine microenvironment.
