Isoproterenol Activates Extracellular Signal–Regulated Protein Kinases in Cardiomyocytes Through Calcineurin

Abstract: Background-Extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) and calcineurin have been reported to play important roles in the development of cardiac hypertrophy. We examined here the relation between calcineurin and ERKs in cardiomyocytes. Methods and Results-Isoproterenol activated ERKs in cultured cardiomyocytes of neonatal rats, and the activation was abolished by chelation of extracellular Ca 2ϩ with EGTA, blockade of L-type Ca 2ϩ channels with nifedipine, or depletion of intracellular Ca 2ϩ stores with thaps… Show more

“…5,6 More recently, activation of 44-to 42-kDa extracellular signalregulated protein kinases through a calcineurin-dependent mechanism was shown to participate in the development of Iso-induced CH. 7 Our results show that prevention of CH development by the NHE-1 inhibitor in Iso-treated rats was accompanied by normalization of NHE-1 expression and myocardial pH i . The observation that NHE-1 inhibitors exert antihypertrophic effect is not new.…”

“…Although several mechanisms have been imputed to underlie the cardiotrophic action of Iso, [5][6][7] the exact nature is still under debate. Because cumulative evidence supports a cause-effect link between the activity of the Na ϩ /H ϩ exchanger (NHE) and cardiac cell growth (Cingolani and Camilión de Hurtado 8 ), we sought to analyze the possible role of NHE activity in Iso-induced CH by taking advantage of the specific, orally active inhibitor against NHE isoform 1 (NHE-1).…”

“…These findings are in marked contrast to the responses of other previously examined cell types. Upon ␤ 2 -AR activation in cardiomyocytes (26,30), HEK293 cells (29,32), COS-7 cells (28,31), and Chinese hamster ovary cells (27), ␤ 2 -AR activation results in increased ERK phosphorylation. Here we elucidate the mechanism by which ␤ 2 -AR activation decreases ERK phosphorylation and migration.…”

“…Selective β1-AR stimulation caused hypertrophy growth of ventricular cardiomyocytes by a mechanism that is independent of cAMP but dependent on a tyrosine kinase and CaMKII (38,43). The MAPK pathway has been implicated in cardiac hypertrophy induced by β2-AR stimulation (44,45). PI3Kγ, which is activated through Gi-associated Gβγ, plays an essential role in isoproterenol-induced cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure (46,47).…”
