In response to pathophysiological stresses, cardiac myocytes undergo hypertrophic growth or apoptosis. Multiple signalling pathways have been implicated in these responses and among them, kinases such as mitogen‐activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and Akt. However, the distinction between signalling pathways originally believed to be specific for either hypertrophy, apoptosis or cell survival is fading. The existing data, coming from different experimental systems, often are conflicting. In this study, we sought to compare aspects of intracellular signalling activated by diverse stimuli in a single experimental system, adult rat cardiac myocytes. Furthermore, we assessed the role of these stimuli in eliciting a particular cell phenotype, i.e. whether they promote hypertrophy, cell survival or apoptosis. The results demonstrate that the hypertrophic agonist phenylephrine is the most potent activator of MAPKs/mitogen and stress‐ activated kinase MSK1, although its effect on Akt phosphorylation is relatively minor. The pro‐apoptotic concentration of H2O2 activates strongly both MAPKs and PI3K/Akt pathways. Insulin‐like growth factor‐1 has a minimal effect on phosphorylation of MAPKs/MSK1, but it is a potent activator of Akt. In conclusion, hypertrophic, pro‐survival or apoptotic stimuli operate through the same signalling pathways with different time course and amplitude of kinase activation. Thus, to determine the effect of different stimuli on cell fate, it is important to assess signalling pathways as a network and not as a single pathway. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Although the signaling pathways underlying exercise-induced cardiac adaptation have been extensively studied, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that result in the response of the heart to pregnancy. The objective of this study was to define the morphological, functional, and gene expression patterns that define the hearts of pregnant mice, and to identify the signaling pathways that mediate this response. Mice were divided into three groups: nonpregnant diestrus control, midpregnancy, and late pregnancy. Both time points of pregnancy were associated with significant cardiac hypertrophy. The prosurvival signaling cascades of Akt and ERK1/2 were activated in the hearts of pregnant mice, while the stress kinase, p38, was decreased. Given the activation of Akt in pregnancy and its known role in cardiac hypertrophy, the hypertrophic response to pregnancy was tested in mice expressing a cardiac-specific activated (myristoylated) form of Akt (myrAkt) or a cardiac-specific constitutively active (antipathologic hypertrophic) form of its downstream target, glycogen synthase kinase 3β (caGSK3β). The pregnancy-induced hypertrophic responses of hearts from these mice were significantly attenuated. Finally, we tested whether pregnancy-associated sex hormones could induce hypertrophy and alter signaling pathways in isolated neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs). In fact, progesterone, but not estradiol treatment increased NRVM cell size via phosphorylation of ERK1/2. Inhibition of MEK1 effectively blocked progesterone-induced cellular hypertrophy. Taken together, our study demonstrates that pregnancy-induced cardiac hypertrophy is mediated by activation of Akt and ERK1/2 pathways. 相似文献

We have shown that increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was required for ouabain-induced hypertrophy in cultured cardiac myocytes. In the present study we assessed whether long-term exposure of myocytes to nontoxic ROS stress alone is sufficient to induce hypertrophy. A moderate amount of H2O2 was continuously generated in culture media by glucose oxidase. This resulted in a steady increase in intracellular ROS in cultured cardiac myocytes for at least 12 h. Such sustained, but not transient, increase in intracellular ROS at a level comparable to that induced by ouabain was sufficient to stimulate protein synthesis, increase cell size, and change the expression of several hypertrophic marker genes. Like ouabain, glucose oxidase increased intracellular Ca2+ and activated extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2). These effects of glucose oxidase were additive to ouabain-induced cellular changes. Furthermore, glucose oxidase stimulated endocytosis of the plasma membrane Na+/K+-ATPase, resulting in significant inhibition of sodium pump activity. While inhibition of ERK1/2 abolished glucose oxidase-induced increases in protein synthesis, chelating intracellular Ca2+ by BAPTA-AM showed no effect. These results, taken together with our prior observations, suggest that ROS may cross talk with Na+/K+-ATPase, leading to the activation of hypertrophic pathways in cardiac myocytes. 相似文献

Cardiac hypertrophy is characterized by remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Integrins are cell-surface molecules that link the ECM to the cellular cytoskeleton where they play roles as signaling molecules and transducers of mechanical force. To clarify the possible roles of integrins in cardiac myocyte hypertrophy, we investigated the cellular localization and expression of ECM proteins and integrins in both normal cardiac myocytes and phenylephrine-induced hypertrophic myocytes. Addition of phenylephrine (PE) to cultured neonatal cardiac myocytes induced sarcomeric organization, increase in cell size, and synthesis of the hypertrophic marker, atrial natriuretic factor (ANF). In particular, fibronectin and collagen underwent dramatic localization changes during PE-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Significant changes were noted in the cellular localization of the respective collagen and fibronectin receptors, integrin alpha1 and alpha5, from diffuse to a sarcomeric banding pattern. Expression levels of integrins were also increased during hypertrophy. Treatment with okadaic acid (OA), an inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), resulted in inhibition of hypertrophic response. These results suggest that dephosphorylation of integrin beta1 may be important in the induction of cardiac hypertrophy. 相似文献

Association of PI3K-Akt signaling pathway with digitalis-induced hypertrophy of cardiac myocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Our previous studies on cardiac myocytes showed that positive inotropic concentrations of the digitalis drug ouabain activated signaling pathways linked to Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase through Src and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and led to myocyte hypertrophy. In view of the known involvement of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt pathways in cardiac hypertrophy, the aim of the present study was to determine whether these pathways are also linked to cardiac Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and, if so, to assess their role in ouabain-induced myocyte growth. In a dose- and time-dependent manner, ouabain activated Akt and phosphorylation of its substrates mammalian target of rapamycin and glycogen synthase kinase in neonatal rat cardiac myocytes. Akt activation by ouabain was sensitive to PI3K inhibitors and was also noted in adult myocytes and isolated hearts. Ouabain caused a transient increase of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate content of neonatal myocytes, activated class IA, but not class IB, PI3K, and increased coimmunoprecipitation of the alpha-subunit of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase with the p85 subunit of class IA PI3K. Ouabain-induced activation of ERK1/2 was prevented by Src, EGFR, and MEK inhibitors, but not by PI3K inhibitors. Activation of Akt by ouabain, however, was sensitive to inhibitors of PI3K and Src, but not to inhibitors of EGFR and MEK. Similarly, ouabain-induced myocyte hypertrophy was prevented by PI3K and Src inhibitors, but not by an EGFR inhibitor. These findings 1) establish the linkage of the class IA PI3K-Akt pathway to Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and the essential role of this linkage to ouabain-induced myocyte hypertrophy and 2) suggest cross talk between these PI3K-Akt pathways and the signaling cascades previously identified to be associated with cardiac Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase. 相似文献

Pathological cardiac hypertrophy is characterized by subcellular remodeling of the ventricular myocyte with a reduction in the scaffolding protein caveolin-3 (Cav-3), altered Ca2+ cycling, increased protein kinase C expression, and hyperactivation of calcineurin/nuclear factor of activated T cell (NFAT) signaling. However, the precise role of Cav-3 in the regulation of local Ca2+ signaling in pathological cardiac hypertrophy is unclear. We used cardiac-specific Cav-3-overexpressing mice and in vivo and in vitro cardiac hypertrophy models to determine the essential requirement for Cav-3 expression in protection against pharmacologically and pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Transverse aortic constriction and angiotensin-II (Ang-II) infusion in wild type (WT) mice resulted in cardiac hypertrophy characterized by significant reduction in fractional shortening, ejection fraction, and a reduced expression of Cav-3. In addition, association of PKCα and angiotensin-II receptor, type 1, with Cav-3 was disrupted in the hypertrophic ventricular myocytes. Whole cell patch clamp analysis demonstrated increased expression of T-type Ca2+ current (ICa, T) in hypertrophic ventricular myocytes. In contrast, the Cav-3-overexpressing mice demonstrated protection from transverse aortic constriction or Ang-II-induced pathological hypertrophy with inhibition of ICa, T and intact Cav-3-associated macromolecular signaling complexes. siRNA-mediated knockdown of Cav-3 in the neonatal cardiomyocytes resulted in enhanced Ang-II stimulation of ICa, T mediated by PKCα, which caused nuclear translocation of NFAT. Overexpression of Cav-3 in neonatal myocytes prevented a PKCα-mediated increase in ICa, T and nuclear translocation of NFAT. In conclusion, we show that stable Cav-3 expression is essential for protecting the signaling mechanisms in pharmacologically and pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy. 相似文献

Cucurbitacin I is a naturally occurring triterpenoid derived from Cucurbitaceae family plants that exhibits a number of potentially useful pharmacological and biological activities. However, the therapeutic impact of cucurbitacin I on the heart has not heretofore been reported. To evaluate the functional role of cucurbitacin I in an in vitro model of cardiac hypertrophy, phenylephrine (PE)-stimulated cardiomyocytes were treated with a sub-cytotoxic concentration of the compound, and the effects on cell size and mRNA expression levels of ANF and β-MHC were investigated. Consequently, PE-induced cell enlargement and upregulation of ANF and β-MHC were significantly suppressed by pretreatment of the cardiomyocytes with cucurbitacin I. Notably, cucurbitacin I also impaired connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and MAPK signaling, pro-hypertrophic factors, as well as TGF-β/Smad signaling, the important contributing factors to fibrosis. The protective impact of cucurbitacin I was significantly blunted in CTGF-silenced or TGF-β1-silenced hypertrophic cardiomyocytes, indicating that the compound exerts its beneficial actions through CTGF. Taken together, these findings signify that cucurbitacin I protects the heart against cardiac hypertrophy via inhibition of CTGF/MAPK, and TGF- β/Smad-facilitated events. Accordingly, the present study provides new insights into the defensive capacity of cucurbitacin I against cardiac hypertrophy, and further suggesting cucurbitacin I’s utility as a novel therapeutic agent for the management of heart diseases. 相似文献

Pathological cardiac hypertrophy represents a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Liver kinase B1 interacting protein 1 (LKB1IP) was identified as the binding protein of tumour suppressor LKB1. However, the role of LKB1IP in the development of pathological cardiac hypertrophy has not been explored. The aim of this study was to investigate the function of LKB1IP in cardiac hypertrophy in response to hypertrophic stimuli. We investigated the cardiac level of LKB1IP in samples from patients with heart failure and mice with cardiac hypertrophy induced by isoproterenol (ISO) or transverse aortic constriction (TAC). LKB1IP knockout mice were generated and challenged with ISO injection or TAC surgery. Cardiac function, hypertrophy and fibrosis were then examined. LKB1IP expression was significantly up-regulated on hypertrophic stimuli in both human and mouse cardiac samples. LKB1IP knockout markedly protected mouse hearts against ISO- or TAC-induced cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis. LKB1IP overexpression aggravated ISO-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, and its inhibition attenuated hypertrophy in vitro. Mechanistically, LKB1IP activated Akt signalling by directly targeting PTEN and then inhibiting its phosphatase activity. In conclusion, LKB1IP may be a potential target for pathological cardiac hypertrophy. 相似文献
