Abstract: Matrix metalloproteinases 14 (MMP14) is the first discovered membrane-type matrix metalloproteinases in the matrix metalloproteinases super family.MMP14 protein can hydrolyze various extracellular matrix components and serum proteins,promote extracellular matrix degradation,and hydrolyze cytokines,chemokines and growth factors.In this study,two different porcine MMP14 transcripts were found in pig alveolar macrophages (PAM).The expression levels of different transcripts of MMP14 gene in porcine PAM cells infected with PRRSV were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR,the results showed that the expression level of transcript NM_214239.2 significantly reduced (P<0.05),while XM_021098303.1 significantly incresed (P<0.01) in PRRSV infected PAMs.Bioinformatics analysis results showed that these two different transcripts encoded two different proteins.Compared with NM_214239.2 encoded protein,the RRKR motif and PG_binding_1 functional region were missing in XM_021098303.1 encoded protein,which might not havefunctionalactivity in the inactivation of MMP14 protein.It is speculated that the inactivation of MMP14 after PRRSV infection maybe relate to the high expression of cytokines and chemokines stimulated by PRRSV.However,the specific role of MMP14 in PRRSV infection still needs further study.
