No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2009-01-30 / The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) on the inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2). Mouse gingival explants were cultured overnight in DMEM and the expression of secreted enzymes was analyzed by gelatin zymography in buffers containing 5 mM CaCl2 (Tris-CaCl2) in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer with the addition of HEMA and TEGDMA at different concentrations (0.62, 1.25, 2.5 or 5.0% (v/v)). The gelatinolytic proteinase present in the conditioned media was characterized as matrix metalloproteinase by means of specific chemical inhibition with 0.5 mM of EDTA and 0.5 mM of NEM. The matrix metalloproteinases present in the conditioned media were characterized as MMP-2 by immunoprecipitation.The eletrophoretic bands were scanned and the transmittance values were analyzed with ImageJ software. Data was plotted and submitted to linear regression to investigate MMP-2 inhibition as a function of HEMA and TEGDMA concentration. Three major bands were detected in the zymographic assays. Those bands were characterized as MMP-2. Zymogene (72 kDa), intermediate (66 kDa) and active forms of MMP-2 (62 kDa) were inhibited by HEMA and TEGDMA in a dose-dependent way. These findings suggest that HEMA and TEGDMA could inhibit MMP-2 expression even at small concentrations. / O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o efeito de diferentes concentrações de 2-hidroxietil metacrilato (HEMA) e trietilenoglicol dimetacrilato (TEGDMA) na inibição da metaloproteinase da matriz 2 (MMP-2). Tecidos gengivais de ratos foram incubados em DMEM e a expressão das enzimas secretadas foi analisada por zimografia em tampões de incubação contendo 5 mM de CaCl2 (Tris-CaCl2) em 50 mM de Tris-HCl com a adição de diferentes concentrações de HEMA e TEGDMA (0,62; 1,25; 2,5 e 5%) em volume. Para caracterizar as enzimas como MMPs foi realizado ensaio de inibição química específica com 0,5 mM de EDTA (um conhecido inibidor de MMPs) e 0,5 de NEM (um conhecido inibidor de proteinases serinas).Para caracterizar as enzimas como MMP-2 foi realizado o ensaio de imunoprecipitação. As bandas produzidas no gel foram escaneadas e os valores de transmitância foram analizados com o auxílio do programa ImageJ. Os resultados foram submetidos a regressão linear em função da concentração de HEMA e TEGDMA. Três bandas foram identificadas após a zimografia. Essas bandas foram caracterizadas como MMP-2. O zimogênio (72 kDa), a forma intermediária (66 kDa) e a forma ativa da MMP-2 (62 kDa) foram inibidas pelo HEMA e pelo TEGDMA de forma dose-dependente. Nossos resultados sugerem que o HEMA e o TEGDMA podem inibir a expressão da MMP-2 mesmo em pequenas concentrações.
