The Effect of Diabetes on Expression of β1-,β2-, and β3-Adrenoreceptors in Rat Hearts

Abstract: Diabetic hearts exhibit decreased responsiveness to stimulation by ␤-adrenoreceptor (␤-AR) agonists. This decrease in activity may be due to changes in expression and/or signaling of ␤-AR. Recently we showed that right atrial strips from 14-week streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rat hearts exhibit decreased responsiveness to ␤ 1 -AR agonist stimulation, but not to ␤ 2 -AR agonist. In the present study, we investigated the effects of long-term diabetes on the expression of cardiac ␤ 1 -, ␤ 2 -, and ␤ 3 -ARs… Show more

“…The ␤-adrenergic pathway is desensitized in diabetes, both in patients and animal models, and receptor changes are often considered a primary cause (14). However, cardiomyocytes isolated from STZ-induced diabetic animals show contractile impairment upon activation of ␤-adrenergic receptors, adenylate cyclase, or PKA (15,16).…”

“…In diabetes, this is partly from a reduction in ␤ 1 -adrenergic receptor content and function (14); however adrenergic impairment in the diabetic heart is likely more complex. For example, cardiomyocytes isolated from diabetic animals maintain a blunted response to adenylate cyclase and PKA agonists despite these drugs bypassing the receptor and cAMP production (15,16).…”

“…At the same time, the functioning of adrenergic signaling system in type 1 DM differs from that in type 2 DM. In animals with streptozotocin insulindeficient DM some authors have revealed redistribution of the b-adrenoceptors [41][42][43] and weakening of their functional activity [44,45], whereas others have found no changes in their functional activity [46][47][48]. Despite a decreased density of b-adrenoceptors in the myocardial membranes from rats and swine with type 1 DM, there are no differences in the number of high-affinity b-adrenoceptors, neither in the ability of isoproterenol to stimulate AC activity in diabetic and non-diabetic animals [46,47].…”

“…5 An upregulation of beta3-AR also was observed in human hearts with ischemic or dilated cardiomyopathy, 6 in the failing canine myocardium, 3 and in hearts of long-term diabetic rats. 7 Whether or not the upregulation of beta3-AR is merely in response to excess catecholamines or confer additional risk or benefit for arrhythmia is unclear. Beta3-AR was suggested to function as a buffer against excessive beta1-AR and beta2-AR stimulation in disease conditions associated with hyperadrenergic activity, such as heart failure.…”
