The aim of this study was to examine the mechanism(s) underlying the reduced isoproterenol-induced positive inotropic and lusitropic effects in hypertrophied hearts. Chronic beta-adrenergic stimulation (2.4 mg isoproterenol.kg-1. day-1 for 4 days) induced cardiac hypertrophy by 33 +/- 2% in rats. A parallel downregulation of phospholamban (PLB) and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2(+)-ATPase (SERCA2) protein expression by 49 and 40%, respectively, was observed, whereas troponin I (TNI) and C protein remained unchanged. In papillary muscles from chronically beta-adrenergically stimulated rats, the isoproterenol-induced positive inotropic and lusitropic effects, as well as adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) accumulation, were attenuated compared with those in control animals. Acute exposure to isoproterenol induced phosphate incorporation into PLB, TNI, and C protein of 48 +/- 4.6, 55 +/- 5.0, and 27 +/- 4.9 pmol/mg homogenate protein, respectively, in control animals. In the hypertrophied hearts, phosphate incorporation into PLB was reduced by 76%, whereas phosphate incorporation into TNI or C protein remained unchanged. In conclusion, chronic beta-adrenergic stimulation reduced the isoproterenol-stimulated positive inotropic and lusitropic effects in papillary muscles, which were accompanied by 1) diminished cAMP formation, 2) attenuation of cAMP-mediated PLB phosphorylation, and 3) downregulation of PLB and SERCA2 protein.
