Expression and Complex Formation of MMP9, MMP2, NGAL, and TIMP1 in Porcine Myocardium but Not in Skeletal Muscles in Male Pigs with Tachycardia-Induced Systolic Heart Failure

Abstract: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in the remodeling of extracellular matrix in various tissues. Their functioning could be related to the formation of complexes, containing MMP9, MMP2, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases type 1 (TIMP1), and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL). Such complexes have not been investigated in either myocardial or skeletal muscles. We examined 20 male pigs with heart failure (HF), and 5 sham-operated animals. There were no differences in the mRNA express… Show more

“…A recent study showed that matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 (MMPs), key enzymes responsible for myocardial remodelling during heart disease, are up-regulated in the failing myocardium but not in skeletal muscles in pigs with tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (8). MMPs are enzymes found throughout the body that are responsible for remodelling of tissues.…”

“…The primer sequences used were GAPDH forward: 5′-CCTTCATTGACCTCCACTACA TGGT-3′ and reverse: 5′-CCACAACATACGTAGCACCACGATC-3′, and Ngal forward: 5′-TTAAGAAATACTCTGGATTGC-3′ and reverse: 5′-TACTCTTGGTTGTTGGAAAC-3′. The primers are located in separate exons to prevent the amplification of genomic DNA (Kiczak et al 2013). Relative quantification of targeted gene expression was calculated using the comparative threshold cycle method (Livak and Schmittgen 2001).…”
