Inhibition of Na(+)-H(+) exchange prevents hypertrophy, fibrosis, and heart failure in beta(1)-adrenergic receptor transgenic mice.
Chronic stimulation of the beta(1)-adrenergic receptor leads to hypertrophy and heart failure in beta(1)-adrenergic receptor transgenic mice and contributes to disease progression in heart failure patients. The cellular mechanisms underlying these detrimental effects are largely unknown. In this study, we have identified the cardiac Na(+)-H(+) exchanger (NHE1) as a novel mediator of adrenergica...
متن کاملMyocardial expression of a constitutively active alpha 1B-adrenergic receptor in transgenic mice induces cardiac hypertrophy.
Transgenic mice were generated by using the alpha-myosin heavy chain promoter coupled to the coding sequence of a constitutively active mutant alpha 1B-adrenergic receptor (AR). These transgenic animals demonstrated cardiac-specific expression of this alpha 1-AR with resultant activation of phospholipase C as shown by increased myocardial diacylglycerol content. A phenotype consistent with card...
متن کاملConstitutive Activity of the Human 1-Adrenergic Receptor in 1-Receptor Transgenic Mice
We tested the hypothesis that the human 1-adrenergic receptor displays constitutive activity and that -adrenergic antagonists differ in their ability to modulate this constitutive activity. Transfection of the cDNAs of the human 1and 2-adrenergic receptors into COS-7 cells caused increases in basal cAMP that were proportional to the receptor levels, thus demonstrating constitutive activity for ...
متن کاملRole of chronic ryanodine receptor phosphorylation in heart failure and β-adrenergic receptor blockade in mice.
Increased sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ leak via the cardiac ryanodine receptor/calcium release channel (RyR2) is thought to play a role in heart failure (HF) progression. Inhibition of this leak is an emerging therapeutic strategy. To explore the role of chronic PKA phosphorylation of RyR2 in HF pathogenesis and treatment, we generated a knockin mouse with aspartic acid replacing serine 280...
متن کاملNicorandil Prevents Gαq-Induced Progressive Heart Failure and Ventricular Arrhythmias in Transgenic Mice
BACKGROUND Beneficial effects of nicorandil on the treatment of hypertensive heart failure (HF) and ischemic heart disease have been suggested. However, whether nicorandil has inhibitory effects on HF and ventricular arrhythmias caused by the activation of G protein alpha q (Gα(q)) -coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling still remains unknown. We investigated these inhibitory effects of nicorandil i...
