To explore the role of the matrix metalloproteinase matrilysin (MAT) in normal tissue remodeling, we cloned the murine homologue of MAT from postpartum uterus using RACE polymerase chain reaction and examined its pattern of expression in embryonic, neonatal, and adult mice. The murine coding sequence and the corresponding predicted protein sequence were found to be 75% and 70% identical to the human sequences, respectively, and organization of the six exons comprising the gene is similar to the human gene. Northern analysis and in situ hybridization revealed that MAT is expressed in the normal cycling, pregnant, and postpartum uterus, with levels of expression highest in the involuting uterus at early time points (6 h to 1.5 days postpartum). The mRNA was confined to epithelial cells lining the lumen and some glandular structures. High constitutive levels of MAT transcripts were also detected in the small intestine, where expression was localized to the epithelial Paneth cells at the base of the crypts. Similarly, MAT expression was found in epithelial cells of the efferent ducts, in the initial segment and cauda of the epididymis, and in an extra-hepatic branch of the bile duct. MAT transcripts were detectable only by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction in the colon, kidney, lung, skeletal muscle, skin, stomach, juvenile uterus, and normal, lactating, and involuting mammary gland, as was expression primarily late in embryogenesis. Analysis of MAT expression during postnatal development indicated that although MAT is expressed in the juvenile small intestine and reproductive organs, the accumulation of significant levels of MAT mRNA appears to correlate with organ maturation. These results show that MAT expression is restricted to specific organs in the mouse, where the mRNA is produced exclusively by epithelial cells, and suggest that in addition to matrix degradation and remodeling, MAT may play an important role in the differentiated function of these organs.
