Effects of ?1-adrenergic stimulation on normal and hypertrophied mouse hearts. Relation to caveolin-3 expression

Abstract: In the hyperdynamic myocardium, PKC activation may be one of the switches responsible for an impaired alpha1-adrenergic positive inotropic response. In the hypertrophied myocardium, the interruption of the transduction from Galphaq-protein coupled receptors to downstream effectors may be due to the down-regulation of caveolin-3 expression.

“…Several studies have demonstrated that α1-ARs were localized to the plasma membrane (19,33,34), whereas Wright et al (35) showed that α1-ARs were located around or within the nucleus, but not on the plasma membrane, in adult mouse cardiomyocytes. Thus, controversy exists regarding the localization of α1-ARs in cardiomyocytes.…”

“…Contracting myocytes were equilibrated for 10 min in the presence of the ␤-AR antagonist timolol (10 M). Myocytes were then exposed to the ␣ 1-AR agonist phenylephrine (PE) at a dose (10 M) that mediates a near-maximal inotropic response in the mouse myocardium (13,19,21,26). In a subset of experiments, myocytes were exposed to the ␣ 1A-AR subtype-selective agonist A-61603 (100 nM).…”

“…Stimulation of ␣-adrenergic receptors by phenylephine in Langendorff perfused mouse hearts in the presence of a ␤-blocker results in positive inotropic effect. 30,31 Moreover, it has been demonstrated in swine that acute hypercapnia was associated with release of both norepinephrine and epinephrine. 32 Plasma norepinephrine concentration increased 3.4-fold and epinephrine increased 1.8-fold compared with basal concentrations.…”
