Gene expression of heparanase, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 were examined in ventricles after chronic treatment with isoproterenol (ISO) induced cardiac hypertrophy in rats. Rats were treated with ISO (4 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) twice daily for 4 d. Ventricle weight of the heart and the ventricle weight/body weight ratio were increased respectively by 22% and 25% compared with control rats. Histology showed considerable cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in the ISO-treated rats in comparison to control rats. Northern blot hybridization revealed that heparanase and MMP-2 gene transcripts increased significantly in the ventricles of ISO-treated rats, whereas MMP-9 gene expression was not induced. Thus, heparanase and MMP-2 gene expressions are induced in the ventricle after chronic treatment with ISO, indicating that they might play an important role in development of ISO-induced cardiac hypertrophy.
