Abstract

The present study investigated the role of early response kinase (ERK) and phosphatidylinositol 3 (PI 3)-kinase in ventricular cardiomyocytes from adult rat for the hypertrophic response to α-adrenoceptor stimulation. Parameters of the hypertrophic response were stimulation of protein synthesis and induction of creatine kinase BB. The α-adrenoceptor agonist phenylephrine (10 μmol/l) activated ERK2 and PI 3-kinase. The protein kinase C inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide (5 μmol/l) and the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase inhibitor PD-98059 (10 μmol/l) but not the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein (100 μmol/l) blocked ERK2 activation. Inhibition of ERK2 activation abolished induction of creatine kinase BB by phenylephrine but not the increase in protein synthesis. The PI 3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin (100 nmol/l) blocked protein synthesis under α-adrenoceptor stimulation but did not interfere with ERK2 activation. Inhibition of the ERK2 pathway with PD-98059 did not affect PI 3-kinase activation. We conclude that ERK2- and PI 3-kinase-dependent pathways represent two mutually exclusive ways of signaling that lead to different aspects of the hypertrophic response to α-adrenoceptor stimulation.
