MMP inhibition attenuates hypertensive eccentric cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction by preserving troponin I and dystrophin

PURPOSE: Cardiac transition from concentric (C-LVH) to eccentric left ventricle hypertrophy (E-LVH) is a maladaptive response of hypertension. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), in particular MMP-2, may contribute to tissue remodeling by proteolyzing extra- and intracellular proteins. Troponin I and dystrophin are two potential targets of MMP-2 examined in this study and their proteolysis would impair cardiac contractile function. We hypothesized that MMP-2 contributes to the decrease in troponin I and dystrophin in the hypertensive heart and thereby controls the transition from C-LVH to E-LVH and cardiac dysfunction.

METHODS: Male Wistar rats were divided into sham or two kidney-1 clip (2K-1C) hypertensive groups and treated with water (vehicle) or doxycycline (MMP inhibitor, 15 mg/kg/day) by gavage from the tenth to the sixteenth week post-surgery. Tail-cuff plethysmography, echocardiography, gelatin zymography, confocal microscopy, western blot, mass spectrometry, in silico protein analysis and immunofluorescence were performed.

RESULTS: 6 out of 23 2K-1C rats (26%) had E-LVH followed by reduced ejection fraction. The remaining had C-LVH with preserved cardiac function. Doxycycline prevented the transition from C-LVH to E-LVH. MMP activity is increased in C-LVH and E-LVH hearts which was inhibited by doxycycline. This effect was associated with an increase in troponin I cleavage products and a decline in dystrophin in the left ventricle of E-LVH rats, which was prevented by doxycycline.

CONCLUSION: Hypertension causes increased cardiac MMP-2 activity which proteolyzes troponin I and dystrophin, contributing to the transition from C-LVH to E-LVH and cardiac dysfunction.
