Interleukin-1 beta modulates the growth and phenotype of neonatal rat cardiac myocytes.

Abstract: IntroductionMononuclear cell infiltration and local cytokine elaboration are hallmarks of inflammatory and immunologic heart diseases. To test the hypothesis that cytokines can modulate cardiac myocyte growth and phenotype, myocytes cultured from neonatal rat hearts were exposed to IL-1.3, an inflammatory cytokine prevalent in myocardial inflammation.IL-1p (2 ng/ml, 24 h) increased [3H]leucine incorporation by 30±4% (P < 0.001, n = 29) and net cellular protein content by 20±4% (P < 0.001, n = 27), but had no e… Show more

“…[ 3 H]Leucine Incorporation-Protein synthesis rate was determined as described (40,41). Briefly, neonatal cardiomyocytes were plated in 12-well plates at a density of 6 ϫ 10 5 /well in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum.…”

“…IL-1 induces hypertrophy of cardiac myocytes in vitro, and inhibition of IL-1 attenuates acute inflammation and cardiac myocyte apoptosis after ischemia-reperfusion injury in rat hearts (10,13). Further, IL-1 expression correlates with left ventricular (LV) collagen content and LV end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) after MI in rats and induces collagen gene transcription in fibroblasts (8,14).…”

“…Cardiomyocytes were stimulated with angiotensin II (AT-II; 10 À6 mM) or endothelin-1 (10 À7 mM) in the absence or presence of beta-aminopropionitrile (BAPN; 100 mM), a LOX inhibitor, for 24 h. Then, the incorporation of [ 3 H] leucine in cells was measured as described by Thaik et al 18 …”
