Matrix metalloproteinases and diabetic foot ulcers: the ratio of MMP‐1 to TIMP‐1 is a predictor of wound healing
Open accessAbstract
Aims Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a major role in wound healing: they can degrade all components of the extracellular matrix. In diabetic foot ulcers there is an excess of MMPs and a decrease of the tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs). This imbalance is probably one cause of impaired healing. However, little is known about changes in MMPs during wound healing. Methods Sixteen patients with neuropathic diabetic foot ulcers participated. Wound fluid was collected regularly during the 12‐week follow‐up period, for measurement of MMP‐1, MMP‐2, MMP‐8, MMP‐9 and TIMP‐1. Results were analysed by the degree of wound healing: good healers (defined by a reduction of at least 82% in initial wound surface at 4 weeks) and poor healers (reduction of less than 82% in wound surface at 4 weeks). Results In good healers, levels of MMP‐8 and ‐9 secreted by inflammatory cells decreased earlier. The initial levels of MMP‐1 were similar in good and poor healers (P = 0.1) but rose significantly at week 2 in good healers (P = 0.039). There was a significant correlation between a high ratio of MMP‐1/TIMP‐1 and good healing (r = 0.65, P = 0.008). Receiver Operator Curve (ROC) analysis showed that an MMP‐1/TIMP‐1 ratio of 0.39 best predicted wound healing (sensitivity = 71%, specificity = 87.5%). Conclusions A high level of MMP‐1 seems essential to wound healing, while an excess of MMP‐8 and ‐9 is deleterious, and could be a target for new topical treatments. The MMP‐1/TIMP‐1 ratio is a predictor of wound healing in diabetic foot ulcers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
