The cells and proteases that mediate cigarette smoke-induced emphysema are controversial, with evidence favoring either neutrophils and neutrophil-derived serine proteases, or macrophages and macrophage-derived metalloproteases, as the important effectors. We recently reported that both macrophage metalloelastase (MMP-12) and neutrophils are required for acute cigarette smoke-induced connective tissue breakdown, the precursor of emphysema. Here we show how these disparate observations can be linked. Both wild type (MMP-12 +/+) mice and mice lacking macrophage metalloelastase (MMP-12 -/-) demonstrated rapid increases in whole lung nuclear factor- B activation and gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines after cigarette smoke exposure, indicating that lack of MMP-12 does not produce a global failure to upregulate inflammatory mediators. However, only MMP-12 +/+ mice demonstrated increased whole lung tumor necrosis factor- protein or release of tumor necrosis factor- from cultured alveolar macrophages exposed to smoke in vitro. Levels of whole lung e-selectin, an endothelial activation marker, were only increased in MMP-12 +/+ mice. These findings suggest that, acutely, MMP-12 mediates smoke-induced inflammation by releasing tumor necrosis factor- from macrophages, with subsequent endothelial activation, neutrophil influx, and proteolytic matrix breakdown caused by neutrophil-derived proteases. Tumor necrosis factor- release may be a general mechanism whereby metalloproteases drive cigarette smoke-induced inflammation.
