Treatment with bestatin (the exogenous synthetic inhibitor of metalloproteinases) reduces the activity of metalloproteinase 2 and 12 in the spleen and lung tissues of rats in a model of lipopolysaccharide-induced sepsis - 27/04/24

Abstract |
Sepsis is caused by an inadequate or dysregulated host response to infection. Enzymes causing cellular degradation are matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is used in models of sepsis in laboratory settings
The aim of the study was to measure MMP 2 and 12 concentrations in spleen and lungs in rats in which septic shock was induced by LPS.
The experiment was carried out on 40 male Wistar rats (5 groups of 8):
0. controls
1. administered LPS
2. administered bestatin
3. LPS and bestatin
4.bestatin and after 6 hours LPS
Animals were decapitated. Lungs and spleens were collected. Concentrations of MMP-2 and MMP-12 were determined using immunoenzymatic methods.
Mean (±SD) MMP-2 in the controls was 43.57 ± 20.53 ng/ml in the lungs and 1.7 ± 0.72 ng/ml in the spleen; Group 1: 31.28 ± 13.13 ng/ml, 0.83 ± 0.8 ng/ml; Group 2: 44.24 ± 22.75 ng /ml, 1.01 ± 0.32 ng/ml; Group 3: 35.94 ± 15.13 ng/ml, 0.41 ± 0.03 ng/ml; Group 4:79.42 ± 44.70 ng/ml, 0.45 ± 0.15, respectively.
Mean MMP-12 in controls was 19.79 ± 10.01 ng/ml in lungs and 41.13 ± 15.99 ng/ml in the spleen; Group 1:27.97 ± 15.1 ng/ml; 40.44 ± 11.2 ng/ml; Group 2: 37.93 ± 25.38 ng/ml 41.05 ± 18.08 ng/ml; Group 3: 40.59 ± 11.46 ng/ml, 35.16 ± 12.89 ng/ml; Group 4: 39.4 ± 17.83 ng/ml, 42.04 ± 12.35 ng/ml, respectively.
Conclusions |
1. Bestatin reduces MMP 2 and 12 levels in spleen and lungs.
2. Treatment with bestatin minimizes the effect of LPS.
