Human macrophage mRNA was isolated from subjects with emphysema by laser capture microdissection. Human blood monocyte mRNA was isolated from subjects with greater than 30 pack-year smoking history. Human gene expression was determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction and compared with emphysema severity determined by automated computed tomography analysis. Plasma Clara cell secretory protein and surfactant protein-D were quantified to measure ongoing lung injury.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Measurements and Main Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Mice deficient in MMP-9 develop the same degree of cigarette smoke\u2013induced inflammation and airspace enlargement as strain-matched controls. Macrophages are the predominant source of MMP-9 production in human emphysema specimens and similar quantities of macrophage MMP-9 mRNA is present in areas of lung with and without emphysema. Circulating monocytes produce more MMP-9 in individuals with advanced emphysema severity despite no correlation of MMP-9 with markers of ongoing lung damage.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These results suggest that MMP-9 in humans who smoke is similar to smoke-exposed mice, where MMP-9 is present in emphysematous lung but not correlated with the emphysema. To the degree that the mechanisms of emphysema in humans who smoke resemble the mouse model, these data suggest specific inhibition of MMP-9 is unlikely to be an effective therapy for cigarette smoke\u2013induced emphysema.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>Clinical trial registered with www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT00757120).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.201005-0718oc","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,11,5]],"date-time":"2010-11-05T21:12:21Z","timestamp":1288991541000},"page":"876-884","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":109,"title":["The Role of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 in Cigarette Smoke\u2013induced Emphysema"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"183","author":[{"given":"Jeffrey J.","family":"Atkinson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Barbara A.","family":"Lutey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yoko","family":"Suzuki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"First Department of Medicine, Hokkaido University School of Medicine, Sapporo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Holly M.","family":"Toennies","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Diane G.","family":"Kelley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dale K.","family":"Kobayashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Whitney G.","family":"Ijem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gaetan","family":"Deslee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Service de Pneumologie CHU Reims, INSERM UMRS 903, Reims, France; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carla H.","family":"Moore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.
