Title: | Collagenase-Inhibitory Activity in Deposit and Resorption Phases of Guinea-Pig Carrageenan Granuloma |

Abstract: | The levels of collagenase inhibitor, both free and bound to metalloproteinases, were evaluated at 7 days [deposit phase (DP)] and 14 days [resorptive phase (RP)] of evolution of the subcutaneous carrageenin-induced granuloma in the guinea pig. The level of free collagenase inhibitor was considerably higher in the supernatant of DP granulomas (7.95 +/- 1.53 U/mg protein) as compared to that of RP granulomas (2.53 +/- 0.41 U/mg protein). When the samples were heated at acid pH to release the inhibitor from metalloproteinase-inhibitor complexes, free inhibitor was recovered in both phases. However, the units of recovered collagenase inhibitor were several fold higher in all RP granulomas in comparison with DP granulomas (6.88 +/- 2.46 vs 1.5 +/- 0.53). Therefore, DP and RP tissues exhibited similar total amount of tissue inhibitor. By HPLC, collagenase inhibitor activity was localized in a fraction consistent with the size of TIMP. These results suggest a different balance of collagenase and collagenase inhibitor during the evolution of the granuloma an excess of inhibitor over metalloproteinases appears to predominate during the phase of collagen accumulation contrasting with an inverse situation when the granuloma is healing. |
