Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been implicated in numerous tissue-remodeling processes. The finding that mice deficient in collagenase-2 (MMP-8) are more susceptible to develop skin cancer, prompted us to investigate the role of this protease in cutaneous wound healing. We have observed a significant delay in wound closure in MMP8–/– mice and an altered inflammatory response in their wounds, with a delay of neutrophil infiltration during the first days and a persistent inflammation at later time points. These changes were accompanied by alterations in the TGF-ß1 signaling pathway and by an apoptosis defect in MMP8–/– mice. The delay in wound healing observed in MMP8–/– mice was rescued by bone marrow transplantation from wild-type mice. Analysis of other MMPs showed that MMP8–/– mice had a significant increase in the expression of MMP-9, suggesting that both proteases might act coordinately in this process. This possibility was further supported by the novel finding that MMP-8 and MMP-9 form specific complexes in vivo. Taken together, these data indicate that MMP-8 participates in wound repair by contributing to the resolution of inflammation and open the possibility to develop new strategies for treating wound healing defects.—Gutiérrez-Fernández, A., Inada, M., Balbín, M., Fueyo, A., Pitiot, A.
