Metalloproteinase secretion by macrophages is believed to play a key role in the matrix degradation that underlies atherosclerotic plaque instability and aneurysm formation. We studied the hypothesis that nuclear factor-{kappa}B (NF-{kappa}B), a transcription factor, is necessary for metalloproteinase secretion and, hence, is a target for pharmacological intervention. Adenovirus-mediated gene transfer of the inhibitory NF-{kappa}B subunit, I-{kappa} B{alpha}, was achieved into human monocyte-derived macrophages in vitro and into foam cells produced in vivo in cholesterol-fed rabbits. Human macrophages and rabbit foam cells secreted matrix-degrading metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 without further stimulation, and this was not inhibited by I-{kappa}B{alpha} (11±16% and 8±10%, respectively; P> 0.05). MMP-1 secretion from human macrophages increased in response to recombinant human CD40 ligand and was inhibited 92±5% by I-{kappa}B{alpha} (n=3, P<0.05). Rabbit foam cells secreted MMP-1 and -3 without further stimulation, and this was inhibited 83±12% and 69±11%, respectively, by I-{kappa}B{alpha} (n=6 or 7, P<0.001). I-{kappa}B{alpha} did not significantly affect the expression or activity of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 or -2. Overexpression of I-{kappa}B{alpha} inhibited collagenolytic and ß-caseinolytic activity by 42±2% and 41±7%, respectively (n=3, P<0.05). Secretion of MMP-1 and MMP-3 from macrophages stimulated in vitro or in vivo depends on the activation of NF-{kappa}B. Because the inhibition of NF-{kappa}B reduces proteolytic activity, it appears to be an attractive pharmacological target in unstable atheromas.
