Transgenic alpha1A-adrenergic activation limits post-infarct ventricular remodeling and dysfunction and improves survival.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:Myocardial contractility is enhanced in transgenic (TG) mice with cardiac-restricted overexpression of the alpha1A-adrenergic receptors (alpha1A-AR). We tested the hypothesis that this enhanced inotropy protects against dysfunction and remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). METHODS:We subjected alpha1A-TG and non-TG mice (NTG) to MI and determined changes in left ventricular (LV) function and diastolic dimension (LVDd) by echocardiography prior to and at 1, 3, 7, 12 and 15 weeks thereafter. RESULTS:Although infarct size was similar in the NTG and alpha1A-TG groups (32+/-2 vs. 29+/-2% of LV, P=NS), mortality due to heart failure was lower after MI in the alpha1A-TG (37%, n=39) than that in the NTG animals (63%, n=56, P=0.026). NTG and alpha1A-TG mice showed similar reductions in LV fractional shortening (FS) and increases in LVDd at week-1 after MI. However, whereas NTG mice showed continuous deterioration over a 15-week period after MI in FS (fell by 40%, from 30+/-2 to 18+/-1%, P<0.01) and LVDd (increased by 24%, from 4.2+/-0.1 to 5.2+/-0.1 mm, P<0.01), the changes in both FS (fell by 14%, from 42+/-2 to 36+/-2%) and LVDd (increased by 8%, from 3.8+/-0.1 to 4.1+/-0.1 mm, both changes P<0.01 vs. NTG) were significantly less severe in the alpha1A-TG mice and did not progress after 3 weeks. At 15 weeks after MI, LV catheterization revealed better preservation of dP/dtmax in the alpha1A-TG vs. NTG mice (7270+/-324, vs. 5938+/-372 mmHg/s, P<0.05). CONCLUSION:Enhanced inotropy resulting from transgenic overexpression of alpha1A-AR is well maintained chronically after MI and limits echocardiography-determined LV remodeling, preserves function, and reduces acute heart failure death.
