Abstract

One of the major manifestations of obesity is increased production of the adipocyte-derived 16-kDa peptide leptin, which is also elevated in heart disease, including congestive heart failure. However, whether leptin can directly alter the cardiac phenotype is not known. We therefore studied the effect of leptin as a potential hypertrophic factor in cultured myocytes from 1- to 4-day-old neonatal rat heart ventricles. Using RT-PCR, we demonstrate that these cells express the short-form (OB-Ra) leptin receptor. Twenty-four hours of exposure to leptin (0.31 to 31.3 nmol/L) produces a significantly increased cell surface area that peaked at 0.63 nmol/L. Subsequent experiments were done with 3.1 nmol/L leptin, which significantly increased cell area by 42%, protein synthesis by 32%, and α-skeletal actin and myosin light chain-2 expression by 250% and 300%, respectively. These events occurred in the absence of any increased cell death. Hypertrophy was preceded by rapid activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase system including p38 and p44/42 as early as 5 minutes after leptin addition, whereas hypertrophy was inhibited by the p38 inhibitor SB203580 but not by the p44/42 inhibitor PD98059. Our results demonstrate a direct hypertrophic effect of leptin and may offer a biological link between hypertrophy and hyperleptinemic conditions such as obesity.

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.
