| Popis: | Extracellular matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are activated in dilated cardiomyopathic (DCM) hearts [Tyagi et al. (1996): Mol Cell Biochem 155:13-21]. To examine whether the MMP activation is occurring at the gene expression level, we performed differential display mRNA analysis on tissue from six dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) explanted and five normal human hearts. Specifically, we identified three genes to be induced and several other genes to be repressed following DCM. Southern blot analysis of isolated cDNA using a collagenase cDNA probe indicated that one of the genes induced during DCM was interstitial collagenase (MMP-1). Northern blot analysis using MMP-1 cDNA probe indicated that MMP-1 was induced three- to fourfold in the DCM heart as compared to normal tissue. To analyze posttranslational expression of MMP and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMP) we performed immunoblot, immunoassay, and substrate zymographic assays. TIMP-1 and MMP-1 levels were 37 +/- 8 ng/mg and 9 +/- 2 ng/mg in normal tissue specimens (P0.01) and 2 +/- 1 ng/mg and 45 +/- 11 ng/mg in DCM tissue (P0.01), respectively. Zymographic analysis demonstrated lytic bands at 66 kDa and 54 kDa in DCM tissue as compared to one band at 66 kDa in normal tissue. Incubation of zymographic gel with metal chelator (phenanthroline) abolished both bands suggesting activation of neutral MMP in DCM heart tissue. TIMP-1 was repressed approximately twentyfold in DCM hearts when compared with normal heart tissue. In situ immunolabeling of MMP-1 indicated phenotypic differences in the fibroblast cells isolated from the DCM heart as compared to normal heart. These results suggest disruption in the balance of myopathic-fibroblast cell ECM-proteinase and antiproteinase in ECM remodeling which is followed by dilated cardiomyopathy. |
