Abstract

1. Adenylyl cyclase VI (ACVI) is one of the most abundantly expressed beta adrenergic receptor (betaAR)-coupled cyclases responsible for cyclic AMP (cAMP) production within the mammalian myocardium. We investigated the role of ACVI in the regulation of cardiomyocyte contractility and whether it is functionally coupled with beta(1) adrenergic receptor (beta(1)AR). 2. Recombinant adenoviruses were generated for ACVI and for antisense to ACVI (AS). Adult rat ventricular myocytes were transfected with ACVI virus, AS or both (SAS). Adenovirus for green fluorescent protein (GFP) served as control. Myocyte contraction amplitudes (% shortening) and relaxation times (R50) were analysed. ACVI function was determined using cAMP assays. 3. ACVI-transfected cells demonstrated a strong 139 kDa ACVI protein band compared to controls. ACVI myocytes had higher steady-state intracellular cAMP levels than GFP myocytes when unstimulated (GFP vs ACVI=6.60+/-0.98 vs 14.2+/-2.1 fmol cAMP/viable cell, n=4, P<0.05) and in the presence of 1 microm isoprenaline or 10 microm forskolin. 4. ACVI myocytes had increased basal contraction (% shortening: GFP vs ACVI: 1.90+/-1.36 vs 3.91+/-2.29, P<0.0001) and decreased basal R50 (GFP vs ACVI: 62.6+/-24.2 ms (n=5...Continue Reading

Adrenergic Receptors: Trafficking

Adrenergic receptor trafficking is an active physiological process where adrenergic receptors are relocated from one region of the cell to another or from one type of cell to another. Discover the latest research on adrenergic receptor trafficking here.
