Abstract:
:Cardiac function is regulated by many hormones and neurotransmitters that exert their physiological effects through the activation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Identification of new GPCRs that might display a specific pattern of expression within the heart and differentially regulate specific cardiac functions represents an important issue for the development of new drugs. Indeed, highly targeted receptors represent only a small percentage of known GPCRs. Here, we quantified the expression of 395 endoGPCRs (all GPCRs excluding taste and odorant receptors) in male mouse right and left atria and ventricles by using high-throughput real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and focused on the 135 most highly expressed transcripts. No cardiac functional data are available for almost half of these receptors; therefore, linking GPCR expression patterns to cardiac function has allowed us to provide new insights into the possible function of some of these receptors. Indeed, ventricles and atria are both contractile; however, the latter, and especially the right atrium, are central to the generation and regulation of cardiac rhythm. Accordingly, the right atrium exhibited the most specific signature, whereas the majority of GPCRs found in ventricles were evenly expressed in both the right and left chambers. RT-PCR data were confirmed at the protein level for six selected transcripts. Furthermore, we provide new data showing that, as suggested by our repertoire, the metabotropic glutamate receptor 1b is expressed and is functional in ventricular cardiac myocytes. This is the first report describing GPCRs in the four cardiac chambers and may assist in the identification of therapeutic targets.
