Abstract

Background: In IPF MMP-1 is up-regulated and expressed in alveolar epithelial cells. Result: Transfection of MMP-1 in MLE cells increased proliferation/migration, protected from apoptosis, repressed oxygen consumption ratio and ROS production, and stimulated HIF-1. Conclusion: MMP-1 inhibits mitochondrial function and contributes to a proliferative/migratory and anti-apoptotic phenotype. Significance: MMP-1 promotes the Warburg effect characterized by increased aerobic glycolysis and HIF-1 during normoxia.
