AIM:To investigate the effect of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) on the remnant liver after massive hepatectomy in the mouse.METHODS:Age-matched,C57BL/6 wild-type (WT),MMP-9(-/-),and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP)-1(-/-) mice were used.The mice received 80%-partial hepatectomy (PH).Samples were obtained at 6 h after 80%-PH,and we used histology,immunohistochemical staining,western blotting analysis and zymography to investigate the effect of PH on MMP-9.The role of MMP-9 after PH was investigated using a monoclonal antibody and MMP inhibitor.RESULTS:We examined the remnant liver 6 h after 80%-PH and found that MMP-9 deficiency attenuated the formation of hemorrhage and necrosis.There were significantly fewer and smaller hemorrhagic and necrotic lesions in MMP-9(-/-) remnant livers compared with WT and TIMP-1(-/-) livers (P < 0.01),with no difference between WT and TIMP-1(-/-) mice.Serum alanine aminotransaminase levels were significantly lower in MMP-9(-/-) mice compared with those in TIMP-1(-/-)mice (WT:476 ± 83 IU/L,MMP-9(-/-):392 ± 30 IU/L,TIMP-1(-/-):673 ± 73 IU/L,P < 0.01).Western blotting and gelatin zymography demonstrated a lack of MMP-9 expression and activity in MMP-9(-/-) mice,which was in contrast to WT and TIMP-1(-/-) mice.No change in MMP-2 expression was observed in any of the study groups.Similar to MMP-9(-/-) mice,when WT mice were treated with MMP-9 monoclonal antibody or the synthetic inhibitor GM6001,hemorrhagic and necrotic lesions were significantly smaller and fewer than in control mice (P < 0.05).These results suggestthat MMP-9 plays an important role in the development of parenchymal hemorrhage and necrosis in the small remnant liver.CONCLUSION:Successful MMP-9 inhibition attenuates the formation of hemorrhage and necrosis and might be a potential therapy to ameliorate liver injury after massive hepatectomy.
