| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
MMP9 and TIMP1, which have been reported to be associate with coronary involvement of Kawasaki disease, are distributed in the granulocytes and platelets, respectively. In this study we evaluated drug responsiveness of granulocyte-derived MMP9 and platelet-derived TIMP1.
Whole blood by patients with Kawasaki disease and healthy adult were collected, and then, their granulocytes and platelets were co-cultured with gamma-globulin, methylprednisolone and ulinastatin.
Only granulocyte-derived MMP9 decreased during co-cultured with gamma-globulin. Other medicines could not affect granulosyte-derived MMP9 and platelet-derived TIMP1. Gamma-globulin is effective in suppression of granulocyte-derived MMP9.
