BACKGROUND: Anastomotic dehiscence is the most severe complication of colorectal surgery and its incidence increases in the presence of infection. It has been reported that immune factors or the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) may mediate the loss of anastomotic strength in the first postoperative days. In this study, we investigated the effects of abdominal sepsis on the MMP and interleukin (IL) gene expression in left colonic anastomoses in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty rats were divided into two groups of 20 animals according to the presence (group S) or absence (group N) of sepsis induction by cecal ligation and perforation during left colonic anastomosis. Each group was divided into subgroups for euthanasia on the third (N3 and S3) or seventh (N7 and S7) postoperative day (POD). A colonic segment containing anastomosis was removed for analysis of the expression of MMP1a, MMP8, MMP13, IL1beta, IL6, IL10, TNFalpha, and IFNgamma genes. RESULTS: The anastomoses with abdominal sepsis showed increased MMP1a gene expression and decreased MMP8 gene expression both on the third and seventh POD. There was no change in the expression of MMP13. There was an increase in the expression of IL10 only on the third POD and a negative modulation of IL1beta, IFNgamma, and IL6 genes on both periods. The TNFalpha gene expression was negatively modulated on the third POD and became not modulated on the seventh POD. CONCLUSION: Abdominal sepsis induced a specific inflammatory pattern with increased MMP1a and IL10 gene expression and negative modulation of MMP8, IL1beta, IFNgamma, and TNFalpha gene expression in left colonic anastomoses in rats.
