Abstract

Extracellular structural remodeling is the compensatory response of the tissue following pathological stage. Myocardial infarction, which leads to adverse remodeling, thinning of the ventricle wall, dilatation and heart failure, is one of the leading causes of death. Remodeling implies an alteration in the extracellular matrix and in the spatial orientation of cells and intracellular components. The extracellular matrix is responsible for cardiac cell alignment and myocardial structural integrity. Substances that break down the extracellular matrix, specialized proteinases as well as inhibitors of proteinases, appear to be normally balanced in maintaining the integrity of the myocardium. Myocardial infarction leads to an imbalance in proteinase/ antiproteinase activities causing alterations in the stability and integrity of the extracellular matrix and adverse tissue remodeling. To explore mechanisms involved in this process and, in particular, to focus on matrix metalloproteinases, their inhibitors, and activators, an understanding of proteinase and antiproteinase is needed. This review represents new and significant information regarding the role of activated matrix proteinases antiproteinases in remodeling. Such information will have a significant impact both on the understanding of the basic cell biology of extracellular matrix turnover, as well as on potential avenues for pharmacological approaches to the treatment of ischemic heart disease and failure.
