Catecholamines may be one of the molecular signals linking increased circulatory demand to myocardial hypertrophy, and it was found previously that norepinephrine stimulates hypertrophy of cultured neonatal rat heart muscle cells through an .alpha.1-adrenergic receptor. Since catecholamine stimulation of contractility is believed to be under .beta.-adrenergic control, whether these cultured heart cells had dual pathways regulating growth and contractility through .alpha.- and .beta.-adrenergic receptors, respectively, was investigated. The effect of adrenergic agents on hypertrophy and beating of myocytes in serum-free cultures was examined. Hypertrophy was defined as an increase in myocyte surface area and in cell protein content, measured by a radioisotopic method, and chronotropic activity was examined visually. Norepinephrine and epinephrine were equipotent stimulants of hypertrophy and beating, increasing cell protein and area 1.5- to 2-fold, and the proportion of beating cells from 5% or less to 95%. Response maxima occurred 24-48 h after exposure, and EC50 were 20-200 nM. Studies with other agonists (phenylephrine, methoxamine, clonidine, isoproterenol, dopamine) and antagonists (prazosin, terazosin, yohimbine, propranolol, betaxolol, ICI 118,551 [erythro-DL-1-(7-methylmidan-4-yloxy)-3-isopropylaminobutan-2-ol]) indicated that hypertrophy was mediated through an .alpha.1-adrenergic receptor, whereas the induction of beating required both .alpha.1- and .beta.1-receptor activation. Hypertrophied cells with minimal beating were produced by .alpha.-stimulation, alone. In contrast, .alpha.-plus .beta.-stimulation in the presence of cycloheximide to inhibit protein synthesis resulted in maximum beating but no hypertrophy. Growth and beating evidently can be regulated independently through separate cellular pathways.
