Alterations of beta3-adrenoceptors expression and their myocardial functional effects in physiological model of chronic exercise-induced cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract

Physical training induces cardiovascular autonomic nervous system regulation adaptations, which could result from beta adrenergic receptor (AR) modifications. Among them, beta(3 )AR alterations have been recently reported but their functional effect remained to discuss. To explain the beta(3) AR gene expression in relation to function, we simultaneously studied the left ventricle (LV) beta(3) AR mRNA and protein levels and the myocardial functional effects of a beta(3) AR agonist following physical training. Forty rats were assigned to either a control (C; N = 20) or a trained (T; N = 20) group. The treadmill running protocol was performed for 8 weeks. Histological measurements on LV slices were quantified. The beta(3) AR mRNA abundance was studied with RT-PCR and beta(3) AR protein density with Western-Blot analysis. Myocardial functional effects of a beta(3) AR agonist, BRL37344 (10(-8) M), were studied in Langendorff-perfused hearts. Histological data confirmed the adapted patterns of the physiological cardiac hypertrophy observed in T (P < 0.01), with a significant increase in arteries density (P < 0.01) and an unchanged collagen concentration. The beta(3) AR protein density was increased in T (154 +/- 38% in T vs. 100 +/- 24% in C; P < 0.05), but no change was noted concerning the beta(3) AR mRNA level. After BRL37344 perfusion LVDP, +dP/dT and -dP/dT, in C (P < 0.01), and only +dP/dT in T (P < 0.05) were decreased. Moreover, all LV hemodynamic parameters were more altered after BRL37344 in C than in T (P < 0.01). Thus, in this physiological model of cardiac hypertrophy, an increase of beta(3) AR density without beta(3) AR mRNA alteration was observed. Classical negative myocardial lusitropic and inotropic effects induced by a specific agonist of beta(3) AR were diminished in trained rats.
