Abstract

Impaired myocardial contractility in septic shock is protracting, which may be caused by cytokine-induced nitric oxide (NO) synthesis in the heart. However, the cellular mechanism by which cytokines induce nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in cardiocytes remains obscure. We studied the effect of human recombinant interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) on synthesis of NO2-/NO3- (NOx) and the expression of NOS mRNA and protein in cultured neonatal rat cardiocytes. IL-1 beta dose-dependently (0.1 to 10 ng/mL) stimulated NOx production as a function of time (6 to 48 hours). Northern blot analysis using complementary DNAs for rat brain-type constitutive (c) NOS and mouse macrophage-type inducible (i) NOS as probes showed that IL-1 beta induced expression of mRNA for iNOS but not for cNOS, starting after 6 hours and reaching a maximum after 48 hours in cardiocytes. IL-1 beta similarly induced iNOS mRNA expression in cultured adult rat cardiocytes in a time-dependent manner. Western blot analysis using specific antibody against the N-terminal fragment of mouse iNOS revealed the expression of 130-kD iNOS-like protein in IL-1 beta-treated cardiocytes. Northern blotting and immunocytochemical study revealed that IL-1 beta-induced iNOS mRNA and iNOS-li...Continue Reading

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
