Abstract:
:(1) The effects of norepinephrine on protein phosphorylation in isolated rat cardiac ventricular myocytes were determined by autoradiography on 32P-labelled proteins separated by electrophoresis; (2) In cells from young adult rats (6 months old) there was a marked increase due to norepinephrine (10(-8) to 10(-4) M) in the incorporation of 32P into proteins identified on the grounds of molecular weight as troponin I and C-protein: in cells from senescent rats (24 months old) this increase was much attenuated. (3) Age-associated decrements in protein phosphorylation were much diminished when maximally effective concentrations of the adenylate cyclase-activator forskolin and the cyclic AMP analog 8(4-chlorophenylthio) cyclic AMP were used instead of norepinephrine. Moreover, age-associated differences were abolished if the phosphodiesterase inhibitor isobutylmethylxanthine was present in addition to norepinephrine, or alone. (4) Study of the rates of dephosphorylation of troponin I, as initiated with the beta-adrenergic antagonist propranolol, showed no change in half-time as a function of age: this indicates no change in protein phosphatase activity. (5) These results suggest that there is less active net formation of cyclic-AMP in senescent heart cells in response to the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, giving a lesser activation of c-AMP-dependent protein kinase and less phosphorylation of these target proteins.
