TAK733 attenuates adrenergic receptor-mediated cardiomyocyte hypertrophy via inhibiting ErkThr188 phosphorylation.
Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation 2019 January 30
BACKGROUND: Cardiac hypertrophy is an important risk factor for heart failure. The MEK-ERK axis has been reported as a major regulator in controlling cardiac hypertrophy. TAK733 is a potent and selective MEK inhibitor that suppresses cell growth in a broad range of cell lines.
OBJECTIVE: Therefore, we aimed to investigate the anti-hypertrophic effect of TAK733 in cardiomyocytes.
METHODS: Cardiomyocyte hypertrophy was induced with norepinephrine (NE) or phenylepinephrine (PE) using H9c2 cells. To confirm the cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, cell size and protein synthesis were measured and hypertrophy-related gene expression was estimated by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. To identify the signaling pathway involved, immunoblot analysis were performed.
RESULTS: We observed that NE activated MEK-ERK signaling and increased ANP and BNP expression, resulting in cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. TAK733 significantly reduced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy by regulating NE-induced ERK1/2 and ERKThr188 activation, hypertrophy marker expression, and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy through depression of MEK activity. In addition, we examined that PE-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy was also attenuated by TAK733.
CONCLUSIONS: Here, we report that TAK733 suppressed NE- or PE-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy by repressing a crucial component of cardiac hypertrophy-related pathways. These results suggest that TAK733 may be a useful therapeutics for cardiac hypertrophy and warrants further in vivo studies.
