Abstract

Purpose : Changes in metalloproteinases(MMP) activity have been demonstrated in several disease states, including rheumatoid arthritis and tumor metastasis. More importantly, increased myocardial MMP activity has been reported to occur in both clinical and experimental forms of dilated cardiomyopathy. There was no report about MMP in adriamycin(ADR)-induced cardiomyopathy. The purpose of this study was to investigate gene expression of MMP and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases(TIMP) in ADR-induced cardiomyopathy and clarify the relationship between MMP and cytokines. Methods : Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into two groups. The first group was control. The second group was given intraperitoneal injections of ADR(5 mg/kg) twice a week over two weeks. Serum concentrations of MMP, TIMP, interleukin(IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-${\alpha}$ were measured. RNA extraction was performed from frozen rat hearts. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) was employed. cDNA Microarray analysis was performed by using a set of 5,184 sequence-verified rat cDNA clones. Results : Serum MMP and TIMP levels were not significantly different between the two groups. IL-6 was $36.8{\pm}2.8pg/mL$ and TNF-${\alpha}$ $2.2{\pm}2.7pg/mL$ in the ADR group. They were significantly higher than in the control group. Serum MMP correlated significantly with TNF-${\alpha}$(r=0.41, P<0.05). There was no gene expression of MMP, IL-6 or TNF-${\alpha}$ in the hearts of both groups. Gene expression of TIMP was significantly depressed in the hearts of the ADR group. Conclusion : These results suggested a potential role for TNF-${\alpha}$ in the regulation of extracellular matrix remodeling in ADR induced cardiomyopathy. Rapid screening of multiple decreased gene expression by DNA chip may be a useful diagnostic test to detect early cardiac injury before developing ADR induced cardiomyopathy.

목 적 : MMP 활동의 변화는 류마치스 관절염과 암 전위를 비롯한 여러 질환에서 보고되고 있다. 최근에 확장성 심근증에서 MMP 활동의 증가가 발표되었다. 아드리아마이신으로 유도된 심근증에서 MMP에 대한 보고는 없는 실정이다. 아드리아마이신으로 유도된 심근증에서 MMP, TIMP 유전자 발현을 연구하고 cytokine과의 관련성을 알아보고자 본 연구를 실시하였다. 방 법 : Sprague Dawley 쥐에 아드리아마이신 5 mg/kg을 1주일에 2번씩 2주간(누적 용량 : 20 mg/kg) 복강내 주사하였고, 정상쥐를 대조군으로 하였다. 2주 후에 쥐를 희생시켜서 혈청과 심장조직을 얻었다. 혈청에서 ELISA 원리로 MMP-2, TIMP-3, IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$를 측정하였다. 심장에서 total RNA를 추출하였고, MMP-2, TIMP-3 IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$ primer를 이용하여 PCR로 증폭하였다. 증폭된 DNA는 1% agarose gel에서 전기 영동하였고 UV light 아래에서 필름으로 촬영하였다. 결 과 : 혈청 MMP-2와 TIMP-3는 두 군 간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 아드리아마이신군에서 IL-6은 $36.8{\pm}2.8pg/mL$, TNF-${\alpha}$$2.2{\pm}2.7pg/mL$로 정상군에 비해 유의한 증가를 보였다. 혈청 MMP-2와 TNF-${\alpha}$와는 r=0.41로 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 심근 조직에서 MMP-2, IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$는 발현되지 않았고, TIMP-3는 아드리아마이신군에서 대조군에 비해 유전자 발현이 감소되었다. 결 론 : 아드리아마이신으로 유도된 급성 심근증 모델에서는 심근에서 MMP, IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$가 발현되지 않았고, TIMP 발현이 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 혈청 MMP와 TNF-${\alpha}$와의 상관성이 유의하게 높았으므로 TNF-${\alpha}$가 MMP 발현을 조절함을 시사해 준다. 앞으로 만성 심근증 모델에서 MMP, TIMP 발현에 대하여 연구할 예정이다.
