OBJECTIVES: We sought to elucidate how the local activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is balanced by that of the endogenous tissue inhibitors of MMP (TIMPs) during left ventricular (LV) remodeling.
BACKGROUND: Although it is known that the extracellular matrix (ECM) must be altered during LV remodeling, its local regulation has not been fully elucidated.
METHODS: In Dahl salt-sensitive rats with hypertension, in which a stage of concentric, compensated left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) at 11 weeks is followed by a distinct stage of congestive heart failure (CHF) with LV enlargement and dysfunction at 17 weeks, we determined protein and messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) levels of LV myocardial TIMP-2 and -4 and MMP-2, as well as their concomitant activities.
RESULTS: No changes were found at the LVH stage. However, during the transition to CHF, TIMP-2 and -4 activities, protein and mRNA levels were all sharply increased. At the same time, the MMP-2 mRNA and protein levels and activities, as determined by gelatin zymography, as well as by an antibody capture assay, showed a substantial increase during the transition to CHF. The net MMP activities were closely related to increases in LV diameter (r = 0.763) and to systolic wall stress (r = 0.858) in vivo.
CONCLUSIONS: Both TIMPs and MMP-2 remained inactive during hypertrophy, per se; they were activated during the transition to CHF. At this time, the activation of MMP-2 surpassed that of TIMPs, possibly resulting in ECM breakdown and progression of LV enlargement.
