Metaloproteinasas dependientes de Zinc: Protagonistas centrales en la Fisiopatología de Envenenamientos por Serpientes de la familia Viperidae

Abstract

Se presenta y discute el papel que juegan las metaloproteinasas de los venenos de serpientes (SVMPs) de la familia Viperidae en la fisiopatología de los envenenamientos inducidos por mordeduras de estos reptiles. Se hace especial énfasis en los mecanismos mediante los cuales estas enzimas inducen hemorragia. Así mismo, se discuten otros efectos que resultan de la acción de estas enzimas, tales como la necrosis muscular, la formación de ampollas y flictenas, y la coagulopatía. Finalmente, se analiza el rol que juegan las SVMPs en la deficiente regeneración de tejido muscular que caracteriza estos envenenamientos.

The role played by snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs) in the pathophysiology of envenomings induced by snakes of the family Viperidae is discussed. The mechanisms involved in the ability of these enzymes to generate hemorrhage are presented, together with an analysis of other pathological effects induced by SVMPs, such as myonerosis, blistering and coagulopathy. Finally, the role played by these enzymes in the poor skeletal muscle regeneration characteristic of viperid snakebite envenomings is analyzed.
