Matrix metalloproteinase-2 contributes to ischemia-reperfusion injury in the heart.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) contribute to collagen degradation and remodeling of the extracellular matrix after myocardial infarction; however, their role in myocardial dysfunction immediately after ischemia and reperfusion is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS We measured the release of MMPs into the coronary effluent of isolated, perfused rat hearts during aerobic perfusion and reperfusion after ischemia. Aerobically perfused control hearts expressed pro-MMP-2 and MMP-2, as well as an unidentified 75-kDa gelatinase. These enzymes were also detected in the coronary effluent. After 20 minutes of global no-flow ischemia, there was a marked increase in pro-MMP-2 in the coronary effluent that peaked within the first minute of reperfusion. The release of pro-MMP-2 into the coronary effluent during reperfusion was enhanced with increasing duration of ischemia and correlated negatively with the recovery of mechanical function during reperfusion (r(2)=0.99). MMP-2 antibody (1.5 to 15 microg/mL) and the inhibitors of MMPs doxycycline (10 to 100 micromol/L) and o-phenanthroline (3 to 100 micromol/L) improved whereas MMP-2 worsened the recovery of mechanical function during reperfusion. CONCLUSIONS These results show that acute release of MMP-2 during reperfusion after ischemia contributes to cardiac mechanical dysfunction. The inhibition of MMPs may be a novel pharmacological strategy for the treatment of ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Intracellular action of matrix metalloproteinase-2 accounts for acute myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury.
BACKGROUND Matrix metalloproteinases are best recognized for their ability to degrade the extracellular matrix in both physiological and pathological conditions. However, recent findings indicate that some of them are also involved in mediating acute processes such as platelet aggregation and vascular tone. The acute contractile defect of the heart after ischemia-reperfusion may involve the pro...
متن کاملEffects of normobaric hyperoxia pretreatment on ischemia-reperfusion injury in regional ischemia model of isolated rat heart
Abstract Introduction: Resent studies have been shown beneficial effects of hyperoxia pretreatment against ischemia-reperfusion injury in different organs. The aim of the present study was to investigate early and late effects of normobaric hyperoxia (≥95% O2) pretreatment on ischemia-reperfusion injuries in isolated rat hearts. Methods: Following 60 and 180 minutes of hyperoxia, rat hearts w...
متن کاملTitin is a target of matrix metalloproteinase-2: implications in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury.
BACKGROUND Titin is the largest mammalian (≈3000 to 4000 kDa) and myofilament protein that acts as a molecular spring in the cardiac sarcomere and determines systolic and diastolic function. Loss of titin in ischemic hearts has been reported, but the mechanism of titin degradation is not well understood. Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is localized to the cardiac sarcomere and, on activation...
متن کاملDegradation of myosin light chain in isolated rat hearts subjected to ischemia-reperfusion injury: a new intracellular target for matrix metalloproteinase-2.
BACKGROUND Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) contributes to cardiac dysfunction resulting from ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. MMP-2 not only remodels the extracellular matrix but also acts intracellularly in I/R by degrading troponin I. Whether other intracellular targets exist for MMP-2 during I/R is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS Isolated rat hearts were subjected to 20 minutes of ischem...

OBJECTIVE Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) activity is up regulated in the heart subjected to ischemic insult. Whether increased MMP-9 activity contributes to acute myocardial injury after ischemia-reperfusion remains unknown. To investigate the role of MMP-9 in myocardial infarction, we utilized a MMP-9 knockout mouse. METHODS AND RESULTS Standard homologous recombination in embryonic stem...
