Adenylate cyclase activity in rat myocardium following chronic infusions of angiotensin II and epinephrine. 1984

K Kumano, and P A Khairallah

Adrenergic receptor response coupling pathways have been shown to differ in hypertrophied hearts in different models of hypertension. To mimic this, chronic subcutaneous infusions of epinephrine (80 nmol/h for up to 13 days) and angiotensin II (AII) (4.3 nmol/h for up to 4 weeks) were given. Myocardial-, basal-, and isoproterenol-, glucagon-, forskolin-, and Gpp(NH)p-stimulated adenylate cyclase were measured. No changes in enzyme activity were seen following AII infusion, even though myocardial hypertrophy was significant. After epinephrine infusion for 6 days, there was a decrease in isoproterenol stimulated enzyme. After 13 days of infusion, cyclase activity, both basal and stimulated, was reduced. We conclude that in hearts from different models of experimental hypertension associated with cardiac hypertrophy, there are different biochemical alterations in the beta-adrenergic receptor response coupling mechanism.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.

D011943 Receptors, Adrenergic, beta One of two major pharmacologically defined classes of adrenergic receptors.

D002373 Cyclic AMP Receptor Protein A transcriptional regulator in prokaryotes which, when activated by binding cyclic AMP, acts at several promoters. Cyclic AMP receptor protein was originally identified as a catabolite gene activator protein. It was subsequently shown to regulate several functions unrelated to catabolism, and to be both a negative and a positive regulator of transcription. Cell surface cyclic AMP receptors are not included (CYCLIC AMP RECEPTORS), nor are the eukaryotic cytoplasmic cyclic AMP receptor proteins, which are the regulatory subunits of CYCLIC AMP-DEPENDENT PROTEIN KINASES.

D004837 Epinephrine The active sympathomimetic hormone from the ADRENAL MEDULLA. It stimulates both the alpha- and beta- adrenergic systems, causes systemic VASOCONSTRICTION and gastrointestinal relaxation, stimulates the HEART, and dilates BRONCHI and cerebral vessels. It is used in ASTHMA and CARDIAC FAILURE and to delay absorption of local ANESTHETICS.

D006332 Cardiomegaly Enlargement of the HEART, usually indicated by a cardiothoracic ratio above 0.50. Heart enlargement may involve the right, the left, or both HEART VENTRICLES or HEART ATRIA. Cardiomegaly is a nonspecific symptom seen in patients with chronic systolic heart failure (HEART FAILURE) or several forms of CARDIOMYOPATHIES.
