Abstract

Pressure overload cardiac hypertrophy in the mouse was achieved following 7 days of transverse aortic constriction. This was associated with marked beta-adrenergic receptor (beta-AR) desensitization in vivo, as determined by a blunted inotropic response to dobutamine. Extracts from hypertrophied hearts had approximately 3-fold increase in cytosolic and membrane G protein-coupled receptor kinase (GRK) activity. Incubation with specific monoclonal antibodies to inhibit different GRK subtypes showed that the increase in activity could be attributed predominately to the beta-adrenergic receptor kinase (betaARK). Although overexpression of a betaARK inhibitor in hearts of transgenic mice did not alter the development of cardiac hypertrophy, the beta-AR desensitization associated with pressure overload hypertrophy was prevented. To determine whether the induction of betaARK occurred because of a generalized response to cellular hypertrophy, betaARK activity was measured in transgenic mice homozygous for oncogenic ras overexpression in the heart. Despite marked cardiac hypertrophy, no difference in betaARK activity was found in these mice overexpressing oncogenic ras compared with controls. Taken together, these data suggest that betaARK is a central molecule involved in alterations of beta-AR signaling in pressure overload hypertrophy. The mechanism for the increase in betaARK activity appears not to be related to the induction of cellular hypertrophy but to possibly be related to neurohumoral activation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
