Abstract

The ErbB-neuregulin-1β1 (Nrg1β1) pathway is required for cardiac development and exerts chronic effects on the postnatal adult heart. Long-term application of Nrg1β1 results in hypertrophy and protection against oxidative stress and cytotoxic agents. We performed experiments with acute Nrg1β1 treatment to find evidence for a further protective role due to rapid modulation of adult cardiomyocyte function. In confocal fluorimetric measurements, Nrg1β1 induced a calcium-independent increase in nitric oxide (NO) production in isolated adult rat ventricular myocytes (ARVCMs) that was blocked by the phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor Wortmannin. Western blot analysis showed enhancement of endothelial nitric oxide synthase phosphorylation in Nrg1β1-treated ARVCMs, which was attenuated by Wortmannin. Nrg1β1 induced a significant increase in calcium transient amplitude (indo-1 ratiometric measurement) and accelerated the recovery of cytosolic calcium in the sarcoplasmic reticulum without affecting whole-cell L-type calcium current. Wortmannin or the protein kinase G inhibiting peptide (DT-2) abolished the increase in calcium transient amplitude and the acceleration of calcium recovery induced by Nrg1β1 treatment.
