Core Tip	CD31 and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-9 are known mediators that are upregulated during reperfusion after cardiac ischemia. By inhibiting T-cell receptor-dependent lymphocyte activation, the functional CD31 could reduce post-ischemic inflammatory res¬ponse; while MMP-9 is deeply involved in inflammatory cell recruitment and myocardial remodeling. A recent paper published in European Heart Journal linked these mediators by showing CD31 cleavage to be MMP-9 dependent in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Whether this process is causative of ACS or rather its effect still needs to be clarified.
