BackgroundMatrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are hypothesized to degrade structurally important components of the laminar extracellular matrix (ECM) in horses with laminitis.ObjectiveTo compare levels of expression of stromelysin‐1 (MMP‐3), collagenases (MMP‐1, ‐13), and membrane type‐MMPs (MMP‐14, ‐15, ‐16), and the distribution of their ECM substrates, in laminae of healthy horses and horses with carbohydrate overload laminitis.AnimalsTwenty‐five adult horses.MethodsGene and protein expression were determined in extracts of laminae using real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting after sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Distribution of MMP‐13 and ECM components was determined using indirect immunofluorescent microscopy of nonfixed frozen sections. ECM morphology was assessed by hematoxylin and eosin staining.ResultsOf the genes studied, only those encoding MMP‐1 and ‐13 were upregulated in CHO‐induced laminitis; MMP‐1 at Obel grade (OG)1 lameness and MMP‐13 at OG3 lameness. Laminar MMP‐1 was present as 52 kDa proenzyme only. MMP‐13 was present as pro‐ (61 kDa) and processed (48 kDa) enzyme. MMP‐13 localized to the basal epithelium of the secondary epidermal laminae and its increased expression were accompanied by the appearance in secondary dermal laminae (SDL) of multiple foci that were devoid of collagen I, fibronectin, chondroitin and keratan sulfate glycosaminoglycans, and eosin‐staining material.Conclusions and Clinical RelevanceMMP‐13 is upregulated in laminae of horses with CHO‐induced OG3 lameness and, by degrading components of the ECM, may contribute to the formation of ECM‐free lesions (gaps or tears) that appear in the SDL with OG3 lameness.
