It is hypothesized that an imbalance between the activators and inhibitors of the gelatinases results in higher levels of activity, enhanced local proteolysis, and bone erosion.
Although the evidence is indirect, these data are consistent with the hypothesis that high levels of activated synovial gelatinases reflect augmented synovial invasiveness; these observations are similar to those made in the context of invasive cancers [ 16].
In patients with inflammatory arthritis the gelatinases are expressed in the synovial membrane, and have been implicated in synovial tissue invasion into adjacent cartilage and bone.
Few studies have evaluated the levels of active MMPs in situ . Gel zymography has proved to be a sensitive and effective method of detecting the activity of gelatinases in small tissue samples [ 20].
Overall, the present observations suggest an association between the presence of active synovial gelatinases and the early development of erosive articular damage.
