We have previously shown that matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) activity is greatly enhanced within the active chronic inflammation of Helicobacter pylori infected individuals, of which a major fraction derives from macrophages in the tissue. Here, we have investigated the ability of macrophages to secrete MMPs in response to H. pylori. Human macrophages secrete MMP-9 in response to live and inactivated H. pylori, as well as to specific bacterial products. Protein kinase C, phosphatiolylinositol 3-kinase and calcium uptake channels all play a role in MMP-9 secretion, whereas neither tumour necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-8, nor interleukin-1 beta autocrine stimulation appear to contribute. We conclude that human macrophages have the ability to react directly against several H. pylori derived factors, utilising several signalling pathways.
