MMP Interventions that improve post-MI outcomes

Intervention Model Time post-MI effect observed Effect
Broad-spectrum MMP inhibitor Mouse 4 days ↓ LV dilation, ↑ neovascularization
(CP-471 and CP-474)23,24 Rabbit 4 weeks
Broad-spectrum MMP inhibitor (PD166793)25 Pig 5 days ↓ MI size and expansion
Broad-spectrum MMP inhibitor (PGE-530742)26 Pig 10 days ↓ LV end-diastolic volume
Broad-spectrum MMP inhibitor (TISAM)27 Mouse 3 days ↑ Survival, ↓ rupture
MMP-9 null31 Mouse Up to 15 days ↓ LV enlargement, collagen accumulation
Macrophage-specifc MMP-9 Tg30 Mouse 5 days ↑ LV function, ↓ inflammation
Sitaxsentan33 Rat 3 days ↓ LV dilation
Doxycycline34 Human 24 hours post-MI up to 9 days ↓ Endothelial dysfunction and ↓
MMP-2, MMP-8, MMP-12, TIMP-1, and TMP-2
Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors36 Human Up to 30 days ↓ MMP-1 levels and collagenolytic activity
TIMP null40,41,43,44 Mouse Up to 14 days ↑ LV remodeling
