Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 Inhibition in Acute Ischemia-Reperfusion Heart Injury—Cardioprotective Properties of Carvedilol

Abstract: Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) is activated in hearts upon ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury and cleaves sarcomeric proteins. It was shown that carvedilol and nebivolol reduced the activity of different MMPs. Hence, we hypothesized that they could reduce MMPs activation in myocytes, and therefore, protect against cardiac contractile dysfunction related with IR injury. Isolated rat hearts were subjected to either control aerobic perfusion or IR injury: 25 min of aerobic perfusion, followed by 20 min global, … Show more

“…MMP-2 also cleaves and activates GSK-3 in the cytosol, which may contribute to cardiac damage [ 125 ]. Consequently, inhibiting intracellular MMP-2 activities in hearts during ischemia/reperfusion was found to exert cardioprotective effects [ 126 , 127 ]. It is worth mentioning that TIMP-4 was also found within thin myofilaments inside cardiomyocytes, which indicates a potential regulatory role of TIMPs inside cells [ 128 ].…”

“…Drugs used in the treatment of hypertension, such as verapamil, carvedilol and trimetazidine, have shown positive effects on cardiac function and remodeling associated with decreased activity and expression of MMP-2 [ 107 , 108 , 109 ]. Low-dose carvedilol is cardioprotective and inhibits MMP-2 activity in an ischemia/reperfusion model [ 109 ].…”

Low-dose carvedilol is cardioprotective and inhibits MMP-2 activity in an ischemia/reperfusion model [ 109 ]. Verapamil has been shown to reduce MMP-2 activity by decreasing oxidative stress and calpain-1 that regulates MMP-2 activity in a model of HF induced by hypertension [ 108 ].…”
