Intracellular Action of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 Accounts for Acute Myocardial Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury

Abstract

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 proteolytic degradation of the thin filament protein troponin I; however, the protease responsible for this remains obscure. Methods and Results— Here we report that matrix metalloproteinase-2 is colocalized with troponin I within the thin myofilaments of cardiomyocytes in ischemic-reperfused hearts and that troponin I is a novel intracellular target for proteolytic cleavage by matrix metalloproteinase-2. Inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase-2 activity prevented ischemia-reperfusion-induced troponin I degradation and improved the recovery of mechanical function of the heart. Conclusions— These data reveal for the first time a novel molecular mechanism by which matrix metalloproteinase-2 causes acute myocardial dysfunction after ischemia-reperfusion-injury and that matrix metalloproteinase-2 has a biological action within the cell.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
