β-Adrenergic Blockade in Developing Heart Failure: Effects on Myocardial Inflammatory Cytokines, Nitric Oxide, and Remodeling
Abstract
Background —Whether β-adrenergic blockade modulates myocardial expression of inflammatory cytokines and nitric oxide (NO) in heart failure is unclear. Methods and Results —We administered oral metoprolol or no therapy to rats for 12 weeks after large myocardial infarction and subsequently examined left ventricular (LV) remodeling; myocardial tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 expression; and NO. In untreated rats, echocardiography revealed significant ( P <0.001) LV dilatation and systolic dysfunction compared with sham. Papillary muscle studies revealed isoproterenol hyporesponsiveness to be unaltered by NO synthase (NOS) inhibition. Circulating NO metabolites were undetectable. In noninfarcted myocardium, although inducible NOS (iNOS) mRNA was absent, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 mRNA and protein were markedly elevated compared with sham ( P <0.001), with 2-fold higher expression ( P <0.025) of IL-6 compared with TNF-α or IL-1β. Metoprolol administration starting 48 hours after infarction (1) attenuated ( P <0.02) LV dilatation and systolic dysfunction, (2) preserved isoproterenol responsiveness ( P <0.025) via NO-independent mechanisms, and (3) reduced myocardial gene expression and protein production of TNF-α and IL-1β ( P <0.025) but not IL-6, which remained high. Conclusions —During heart failure development, adrenergic activation contributes to increased myocardial expression of TNF-α and IL-1β but not IL-6, and one mechanism underlying the beneficial effects of β-adrenergic blockade may involve attenuation of TNF-α and IL-1β expression independent of iNOS and NO.

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.
