Abstract

Excessive beta-adrenergic stimulation and tachycardia are potent triggers of cardiac remodeling; however, their exact cellular effects remain elusive. Here, we sought to determine the potency of beta-adrenergic stimulation and tachycardia to modulate gene expression profiles of cardiomyocytes. Using neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes, we showed that tachycardia caused a significant upregulation of sodium-calcium exchanger (NCX) and the activation of calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) in the nuclear region. Acute isoprenaline treatment ameliorated NCX-upregulation and potentiated CaMKII activity, specifically on the sarcoplasmic reticulum and the nuclear envelope, while preincubation with the beta-blocker propranolol abolished both isoprenaline-mediated effects. On a transcriptional level, screening for hypertrophy-related genes revealed tachycardia-induced upregulation of interleukin-6 receptor (IL6R). While isoprenaline prevented this effect, pharmacological intervention with propranolol or NCX inhibitor ORM-10962 demonstrated that simultaneous CaMKII activation on the subcellular Ca2+ stores and prevention of NCX upregulation are needed for keeping IL6R activation low. Finally, using hypertensive Dahl salt-sensitive rats, we showed that blunted beta-adrenergic signaling is associated with NCX upregulation and enhanced IL6R signaling. We therefore propose a previously unrecognized protective role of beta-adrenergic signaling, which is compromised in cardiac pathologies, in preventing IL6R overactivation under increased workload. A better understanding of these processes may contribute to refinement of therapeutic options for patients receiving beta-blockers.
