Tubular gelatinase A (MMP-2) and its tissue inhibitors in polycystic kidney disease in the Han:SPRD rat

Abstract: Thickening of the tubular basement membrane is one of the hallmarks of the polycystic kidney disease (PKD). The present study was conducted to investigate the potential role of the matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and its specific tissue inhibitors (TIMP-1 and TIMP-2) in the accumulation of matrix components in PKD. As a model of PKD, two-month-old heterozygous Han:SPRD rats, which are at an early stage of cystogenesis, were used. MMP-2, but not MMP-9 (gelatinase B) nor MMP-3 (stromelysin) could be detected … Show more

“…MMPs, a group of zinc-dependent enzymes that modulate matrix remodeling and turnover, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of PKD. Increased intrarenal expression of both MMPs and TIMPs have been demonstrated in kidneys of both cpk mice and Han:SPRD-cy rats (90,123,132).…”

“…In this respect, tubular MMP-2 was reduced in an animal model of polycystic kidney disease (21). Therefore, we did not investigate urinary MMP-2 levels in subjects with ADPKD.…”

“…From each pool one Northern blot analysis was performed for each parameter resulting in three Northern blots for every parameter analysed. RNA was extracted from the glomeruli using the acid guanidinium thiocyanate phenol chloroform extraction method [27] as we described previously [28]. Briefly, all probes were radiolabelled with [ 32 P]dCTP (Amersham) using the DECAprime DNA labelling kit (Ambion, Austin, Tex.…”
