Role of MMP-2 in inhibiting Na+ dependent Ca2+ uptake by H2O2 in microsomes isolated from pulmonary smooth muscle.
Treatment of microsomes (preferentially enriched with endoplasmic reticulum) isolated from bovine pulmonary artery smooth muscle tissue with H2O2 (1 mM) markedly stimulated matrix metalloproteinase activity and also inhibited Na+ dependent Ca2+ uptake. Electron micrograph revealed that H2O2 (1 mM) does not cause any damage to the microsomes. MMP-2 and TIMP-2 were determined to be the ambient protease and corresponding antiprotease of the microsomes. Pretreatment with vitamin E (1 mM) and TIMP-2 (50 microg/ml) reversed the effect produced by H2O2 (1 mM) on Na+ dependent Ca2+ uptake in the microsomes. However, H2O2 (1 mM) caused changes in MMP-2 activity and Na+ dependent Ca2+ uptake were not reversed upon pretreatment of the microsomes with a low concentration of 5 microg/ml of TIMP-2 which otherwise reversed MMP-2 (1 microg/ml) mediated increase in 14C-gelatin degradation and inhibition of Na+ dependent Ca2+ uptake. Combined treatment of the microsomes with a low dose of MMP-2 (0.5 microg/ml) and H2O2 (0.5 mM) inhibited Na+ dependent Ca2+ uptake in the microsomes compared to the respective low dose of either of them. Direct treatment of TIMP-2 (5 microg/ml) with H2O2 (1 mM) abolished the inhibitory effect of the inhibitor on 14C-gelatinolytic activity elicited by 1 microg/ml of MMP-2. Thus, one of the mechanisms by which H2O2 activates MMP-2 could be due to inactivation of TIMP-2 by the oxidant. The resulting activation of MMP-2 subsequently inhibits Na+ dependent Ca2+ uptake in the microsomes.
