- Expression of matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors at the implantation site in ampullary ectopic pregnancies(2021) GOMEZ, Ursula Trovato; BRIZOT, Maria de Lourdes; PEREIRA, Pedro Paulo; RODRIGUES, Agatha Sacramento; SCHULTZ, Regina; HOSHIDA, Mara Sandra; FRANCISCO, Rossana Pulcineli Vieira; CABAR, Fabio RobertoObjective: This study investigated the qualitative and semi-quantitative expression of metalloproteinases (MMP) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMP) in trophoblastic tissue during ampullary ectopic pregnancies and correlated that expression with the degree of tubal invasion. Study design: It is a prospective study that included 34 patients diagnosed with ampullary tubal pregnancy who underwent salpingectomy. A histological evaluation of the depth of trophoblastic invasion in the tubes obtained was performed. Subsequently, the expression of the MMP-2, MMP-9, MMP-14, TIMP-1, TIMP-2 and TIMP-3 markers was qualitatively and semi-quantitatively evaluated by indirect immunohistochemistry. In addition, the degree of trophoblastic invasion was correlated with the expression of each marker and with the metalloproteinase/inhibitor ratios. Results: MMP-2 (11.2 %; 3.6-17.9) was the marker with greater expression at the implantation site, both in the qualitative and semi-quantitative assessment, while MMP-9 (2.23 %; 0.2-5.4) and TIMP-3 (2.53 %; 0.1-15.3) were only weakly expressed. Conclusion: There was wide variation in expression among the markers and metalloproteinase/inhibitor ratios studied compared to the degrees of invasion.
