BACKGROUND Myocardial depression, as a well-recognized manifestation of cardiac dysfunction, often accompanies severe sepsis and septic shock. Inflammation-induced myocardial apoptosis is key to the development of sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction. Increasing evidence suggests the anti-inflammatory role of β1-adrenergic blocker, esmolol, during lethal endotoxemia. However, the direct protective effect of esmolol on cardiomyocyte viability during sepsis is still not clear. Here, we aimed to study whether infusion of esmolol can directly inhibit myocardial apoptosis during lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-triggered inflammatory insult. METHODS C57BL/6 mice were randomized into four groups as follows: control; esmolol infusion; LPS insult; and esmolol infusion + LPS insult. Function of left ventricle was assessed by invasive hemodynamics at 6 h after LPS insult. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining, caspase-3 expression level, and the Bcl-2/Bax ratio were used to evaluate myocardial apoptosis at 6 h after LPS insult or esmolol infusion. RESULTS Administration of LPS resulted in significant decrease in left ventricular end-systolic pressure, reduced maximal rate of change of left ventricular pressure, and the increase in left ventricular end-diastolic pressure. Esmolol infusion reversed LPS-induced impairment of cardiac function and reduced LPS-induced myocardial apoptosis that is associated with c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 activation. CONCLUSIONS These data demonstrate that cardioprotection provided by esmolol infusion during LPS insult is associated with antiapoptotic effects and regulation of JNK and p38 activations.

D008070 Lipopolysaccharides Lipid-containing polysaccharides which are endotoxins and important group-specific antigens. They are often derived from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts: LIPID A, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (O ANTIGENS). When derived from Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharides serve as polyclonal B-cell mitogens commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Lipopolysaccharide,Lipoglycans

D009202 Cardiomyopathies A group of diseases in which the dominant feature is the involvement of the CARDIAC MUSCLE itself. Cardiomyopathies are classified according to their predominant pathophysiological features (DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY; HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY; RESTRICTIVE CARDIOMYOPATHY) or their etiological/pathological factors (CARDIOMYOPATHY, ALCOHOLIC; ENDOCARDIAL FIBROELASTOSIS).
