Cytokines and nitric oxide synthase inhibitor as mediators of adrenergic refractoriness in cardiac myocytes.

Abstract:

:We have previously proposed that pro-inflammatory cytokines and nitric oxide (NO) contributed to reversible myocardial depression in patients with sepsis and congestive heart failure. Sepsis and heart failure are also associated with refractoriness to beta-adrenoceptor agonists. Therefore, the chronotropic effects of cytokines and the NO synthase inhibitor, NG-methyl-L-arginine (NMA), on beta-adrenoceptor stimulation of neonatal cardiac myocytes were studied. Tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-1 beta and interleukin-6 but not interleukin-4 or interleukin-5 significantly enhanced spontaneous beating rates compared to untreated myocytes in serum-free media for 48 h (P < 0.01; n = 12 for each). NMA also significantly enhanced spontaneous beating rates (P < 0.01; n = 12 for each). Only interleukin-1 beta treatment resulted in significant nitrite production, immunohistochemical staining for inducible nitric oxide synthase and detection of inducible NO synthase messenger RNA by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). However, tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-1 beta, interleukin-6, and NMA each completely blocked the positive chronotropic effects of the beta-adrenoceptor agonist, isoproterenol (P < 0.01; n = 12 for each). These findings are most consistent with an inducible NO synthase-independent effect of cytokines and NMA on the chronotropic responses of neonatal cardiac myocytes to beta-adrenoceptor stimulation. This effect of cytokines and NMA on adrenergic signaling may involve a myocardial constitutive NO synthase or an NO-independent mechanism.
