Heart adaptation to acute pressure overload: an involvement of endogenous prostaglandins.

Abstract: The purpose of this investigation was to study the relationships between the contractile behavior of the heart and myocardial prostaglandins. Using an open-chest model in rabbits, we assayed the left ventricular tissue content to prostaglandins (PG) E and F2 alpha at various intervals following acute pressure overload created by graduated aortic stenosis. The results suggest that the rabbits could be divided into two distinct groups based on specific hemodynamic changes following coarctation (systolic and dias… Show more

“…Moreover, PGF 2␣ regulates, in part, stretch-induced skeletal myoblast growth (16), and the effects of exogenous PGF 2␣ on vascular smooth muscle hypertrophy are most likely mediated by a PGF-specific receptor (15). As to the heart, PGF 2␣ was increased in the left ventricles of rabbits by acute pressure overload (17), and PG synthase inhibitors blocked cardiac growth induced by hypertension (18) and clenbuterol (19). These observations and others suggested that PGF 2␣ may play a role in the control of cardiac muscle growth.…”

“…It is difficult to estimate PGF 2␣ concentrations near the myocardial FP receptor from release rates into culture medium or coronary veins incognizant of such variables as PG turnover and receptor density, especially in a mixed population of cell types. Although of arguable validity, studies in which myocardial biopsies were taken to determine the average PG concentration in tissue homogenates provide a direct estimate of myocardial PG concentration (17,44). For example, in left ventricle samples taken from rabbits subjected to 15-60 min of pressure overload by coarctation of the ascending aorta, PGF 2␣ levels increased to about 40 nmol/kg, wet weight, which was 7-10 times above basal levels (17).…”

“…of PGs is induced by tissue stretch (3,4) which can result in muscle hypertrophy (5,6). PGF 2α has recently been shown to induce the hypertrophy of neonatal rat ventricular myocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), and skeletal muscle myocytes in vitro (4,(7)(8)(9)(10).…”

“…98 Prostaglandin-F2 (PGF2) is a vasoconstrictor involved in inflammatory response that is produced in the myocardium subsequent to infarction or pressure overload. [99][100][101] It was shown that PGF2 stimulates hypertrophic growth of neonatal rat cardiac myocytes, including downregulation of SERCA2a. Interestingly, PGF2 increased early growth response protein 1 (Egr-1) expression and overexpression of Egr-1 decreased transcription of the proximal SERCA2 gene promoter.…”
