Plasma matrix metalloproteinase-3 predicts mortality in acute respiratory distress syndrome: a biomarker analysis of a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) is a proteolytic enzyme involved in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) pathophysiology that may serve as a lung-specific biomarker in ARDS. Methods This study was a secondary biomarker analysis of a subset of Albuterol for the Treatment...

description Abstract Background Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) is a proteolytic enzyme involved in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) pathophysiology that may serve as a lung-specific biomarker in ARDS. Methods This study was a secondary biomarker analysis of a subset of Albuterol for the Treatment of Acute Lung Injury (ALTA) trial patients to determine the prognostic value of MMP-3. Plasma sample MMP-3 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The primary outcome was the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) of MMP-3 at day 3 for the prediction of 90-day mortality. Results A total of 100 unique patient samples were evaluated and the AUROC analysis of day three MMP-3 showed an AUROC of 0.77 for the prediction of 90-day mortality (95% confidence interval: 0.67–0.87), corresponding to a sensitivity of 92% and specificity of 63% and an optimal cutoff value of 18.4 ng/mL. Patients in the high MMP-3 group (≥ 18.4 ng/mL) showed higher mortality compared to the non-elevated MMP-3 group (< 18.4 ng/mL) (47% vs. 4%, p < 0.001). A positive difference in day zero and day three MMP-3 concentration was predictive of mortality with an AUROC of 0.74 correlating to 73% sensitivity, 81% specificity, and an optimal cutoff value of + 9.5 ng/mL. Conclusions Day three MMP-3 concentration and difference in day zero and three MMP-3 concentrations demonstrated acceptable AUROCs for predicting 90-day mortality with a cut-point of 18.4 ng/mL and + 9.5 ng/mL, respectively. These results suggest a prognostic role of MMP-3 in ARDS.
