- β3-Adrenergic Regulation of L-Type Ca2+ Current and Force of Contraction in Human Ventricle.
- Treinys R, Zablockaitė D, Gendvilienė V, Jurevičius J, Skeberdis VA.Author information Institute of Cardiology, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, 17 Sukilėlių Avenue, 50009, Kaunas, Lithuania.Abstractβ3-Adrenergic receptor (β3-AR) is expressed in human atrial and ventricular tissues. Recently, we have demonstrated that it was involved in the activation of L-type Ca2+ current (I Ca,L) in human atrial myocytes and the force of contraction of human atrial trabeculae. In the present study, we examined the effect of β3-AR agonist CGP12177 which also is a β1-AR/β2-AR antagonist on I Ca,L in human ventricular myocytes (HVMs) and the force of contraction of human ventricular trabeculae. CGP12177 stimulated I Ca,L in HVMs with high potency but much lower efficacy than isoprenaline. The β3-AR antagonist L-748,337 inhibited the effect of CGP12177. CGP12177 and L748,337 competed selectively on β3-ARs because L748,337 had no effect on isoprenaline-induced stimulation of I Ca,L, while CGP12177 completely blocked the effect of isoprenaline. The activation of β3-ARs by CGP12177 does not involve the activation of Gi proteins because CGP12177 had no effect on forskolin-induced stimulation of I Ca,L. CGP12177 had no effect on the force of contraction of human ventricular trabeculae. L-NMMA, an inhibitor of NO synthase, and IBMX, a nonselective inhibitor of phosphodiesterases, did not potentiate the effect of CGP12177 either on contraction of human ventricular trabeculae or on I Ca,L in HVMs. We conclude that in human ventricles β3-AR activation has no inotropic effect, while it slightly increases I Ca,L. In contrast to human atrium, the activation of β3-ARs in human ventricle is not accompanied by increased activity of phosphodiesterases.

- Proven cardiac changes during death-feigning (tonic immobility) in rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus).
- Giannico AT, Lima L, Lange RR, Froes TR, Montiani-Ferreira F.Author information Department of Veterinary Medicine, Federal University of Paraná, Rua dos Funcionários, 1540, Curitiba, PR, 80035-050, Brazil, amaliaturner@uol.com.br.AbstractTonic immobility (TI) is a response to fear or threat by remaining motionless, principally when attacked by predators from which there is no possibility of escape. Thus, here we demonstrate a way of easily reproducing this phenomenon in a laboratory setting and characterize the cardiac electromechanical alterations during TI. We observed a significant decrease in heart rate (HR) and changes of rhythm in electrocardiogram during TI in rabbits. Echocardiogram showed a significant increase in the left ventricle chamber diameter during systole and a consequent decrease in fractional shortening and ejection fraction, in addition to the HR and rhythm changes. There was also a significant decrease in aortic and pulmonary artery blood flow. Diastolic functional changes included a significant decrease of the peak atrial contraction velocity (A peak) and consequent increase in the ratio of peak early diastolic velocity to A peak and increased isovolumetric relaxation time. We were able to prove that TI changes the cardiac function considerably. Although the "fight-or-flight" response is the most common response to fear, which is characterized by the action of sympathetic nervous system with tachycardia and increased physical activity, TI is an alternative anti-predator behavior causing cardiac changes opposite to the "fight-or-flight" phenomenon.
