    Abstract Introduction: Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) cleaves various extracellular matrix proteins, hence significantly contributes to numerous physiological but also pathological processes. Monocytic differentiation is associated with increased MMP-9 gene expression. Interestingly, MMP-9 upregulation during monocytic differentiation is paralleled by a decline in intracellular zinc levels. Hence, an influence of zinc on the regulation of MMP-9 expression may exist. Although, previous studies suggest a vital role of zinc regarding MMP-9 activity, the possible relevance of zinc homeostasis during transcriptional regulation of MMP-9 for example via epigenetic mechanisms is rather unclear.
    Aim: This study aims to find a correlation between zinc deficiency and MMP-9 transcriptional regulation, focusing on epigenetics as the possible mechanism behind zinc deficiency-induced changes.
    Methods: The effect of differentiation and zinc deficiency on MMP-9 expression and MMP9 promoter accessibility was investigated using the acute promyelocytic cell line NB4. Intracellular free zinc levels were detected by flow cytometry. MMP-9 gene expression was measured by real-time PCR and ELISA. Analysis of chromatin structures was done using chromatin accessibility by real-time PCR (CHART) assay.
    Results: During monocytic differentiation of NB4 cells, the decrease in intracellular zinc levels was paralleled by an increased production of MMP-9. Assessment of chromatin structure revealed increased accessibility of certain regions within the MMP-9 promoter in differentiated cells. Interestingly, upregulated activation-induced MMP-9 gene expression as well as a more accessible MMP-9 promoter were in zinc-deficient NB4 cells whereas zinc resupplementation reversed the effects.
    Conclusion: These data demonstrate an important role of epigenetic mechanisms in regulating MMP-9 expression under zinc deficiency. This could provide an encouraging step to expand the research on using zinc for the treatment of various pathological conditions such as inflammatory, vascular and autoimmune diseases resulting from MMP-9 deregulation.

    Abstract Since Asian sea bass is one of the economically most important fish, aquaculture conditions are constantly optimized. Evidence from feeding studies combined with the current understanding of the importance of zinc for growth and immune defense suggest that zinc supplementation may be a possible approach to optimize aquacultures of Asian sea bass. To investigate the effects of zinc deficiency and zinc supplementation, cells from Asian sea bass were incubated in culture medium with different zinc contents. The expression of genes, important for zinc homeostasis, redox metabolism, and growth hormones was analyzed using RT-PCR. Zinc deficiency induced the expression of certain zinc transporters (ZIP14, ZIP10, ZIP6, ZIP4, ZnT4, ZnT9) as well as of SOD1, IGF I and IGF II, while expression of ZnT1 and metallothionein (MT) was reduced. Zinc supplementation decreased the expression of ZIP10, while expression of ZnT1 and MT were elevated. No differences in the effects of zinc supplementation with zinc sulfate compared to supplementation with zinc amino acid complexes were observed. Thus, extracellular zinc conditions may govern the cellular zinc homeostasis, the redox metabolism and growth hormone expression in cells from Asian sea bass as reported for other fish species. Our data indicate that supplementing aquacultures with zinc may be recommended to avoid detriments of zinc deficiency.

    Abstract Evidence for the importance of zinc for all immune cells and for mounting an efficient and balanced immune response to various environmental stressors has been accumulating in recent years. This article describes the role of zinc in fundamental biological processes and summarizes our current knowledge of zinc's effect on hematopoiesis, including differentiation into immune cell subtypes. In addition, the important role of zinc during activation and function of immune cells is detailed and associated with the specific immune responses to bacteria, parasites, and viruses. The association of zinc with autoimmune reactions and cancers as diseases with increased or decreased immune responses is also discussed. This article provides a broad overview of the manifold roles that zinc, or its deficiency, plays in physiology and during various diseases. Consequently, we discuss why zinc supplementation should be considered, especially for people at risk of deficiency.
