Matrix Metalloproteinases System and Types of Fibrosis in Rat Heart during Late Pregnancy and Postpartum
Background and objectives: Cardiac remodeling in pregnancy and postpartum is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in cardiac fibrosis (pericardial, perivascular, and interstitial), as well as the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-9) and their...

description | Background and objectives: Cardiac remodeling in pregnancy and postpartum is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in cardiac fibrosis (pericardial, perivascular, and interstitial), as well as the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-9) and their inhibitors (Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases, TIMP-1 and TIMP-4) during late pregnancy and postpartum in rat left ventricle. Materials and Methods: Female Sprague–Dawley rats were used for this study. Rats were divided three groups: non-pregnant, late pregnancy, and postpartum. The heart was weighed and cardiac fibrosis was studied by conventional histological procedures. The expression and transcript level of target proteins were evaluated using immunoblot techniques and quantitative PCR. Results: The experiments showed an increase of perivascular, pericardial, and interstitial fibrosis in heart during pregnancy and its reversion in postpartum. Moreover, in late pregnancy, MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-9 metalloproteinases were downregulated and TIMP-1 and TIMP-4 were upregulated in left ventricle. Conclusions: Our data suggest that the metalloproteinases system is involved in the cardiac extracellular matrix remodeling during pregnancy and its reversion in postpartum, this improves the knowledge of the adaptive cardiac remodeling in response to a blood volume overload present during pregnancy. |
