Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Disturbances in matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and corresponding tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) contribute to hepatitis C virus (HCV)-induced fibrosis. This study aimed to determine MMP-9/TIMP-1 levels in addition to MMP-2 and -9 activities; correlating with the improvement of liver fibrosis in patients under direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy.
METHODS: Clinical and laboratory follow-up were performed before treatment and after 12 weeks post-treatment, referred as sustained viral response (SVR). We evaluated liver function including non-invasive fibrosis measurements; MMP activity by zymography; and MMP-9/TIMP-1 complex, inflammatory and pro-fibrogenic mediators by immunoenzymatic assays.
RESULTS: Cohort included 33 patients (59.5 ± 9.3 years, 60.6% females) whose reached SVR and 11 control-paired subjects (42.5 ± 15 years, 54.5% females). Before treatment, HCV patients presented higher MMP-9/TIMP-1 levels (P < 0.05) when compared to controls, and the highest values were observed in patients with fibrosis (P < 0.05). In addition, MMP-9/TIMP-1 levels were significantly reduced after DAA therapy (P < 0.0001) and were associated with profibrogenic biomarkers. No differences were observed for MMP-2 and -9 activities; however, these biomarkers were significantly associated with inflammatory mediators.
CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that MMP-9/TIMP-1 complex can be a promising biomarker of active fibrogenesis, being able to identify the interruption of fibrosis progression after HCV eradication.
