The purpose of this study was to investigate local proteolysis in perforated appendicitis and its association with the appendix perforation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Biopsies were taken at the sites of perforation (n = 15) and with a gradually increased distance from it. The expression and distribution of MMP-1, -2, and -9, the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases type (TIMP-1), plasminogen activator inhibitor type1 (PAI-1), and urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) were measured by ELISA. The distribution of MMP-9, TIMP-1, uPA, and PAI-1 in perforated, nonperforated, and uninflamed appendix was investigated by immunohistochemistry with monoclonal antibody technique. RESULTS: MMP-1 expression was highest close to the perforation and was gradually decreased in biopsies in more distal locations (P < 0.01). MMP-9 showed a similar pattern being highest at the sites of perforation (P < 0.05), while MMP-2 expression showed a trend in the opposite direction without statistically significance. The expression of TIMP-1 trended lower at the sites of perforation. PAI-1 was highest at the sites of perforation (P < 0.01) and the uPA expression was similarly elevated close to and at the perforation. CONCLUSIONS: These data indicate a key role of MMP in the pathogenesis of appendix perforation. A local imbalance between MMP-9 and the inhibitor TIMP-1 could potentially contribute to the tissue injury leading to an appendix perforation. The overexpression of PAI-1 at the sites of perforation may also contribute to tissue damage.
