Mirabegron (Myrbetriq) is a beta 3-adrenoreceptor agonist approved for treating overactive bladder syndrome in human patients. This drug can activate brown adipose tissue (BAT) in adult humans and rodents through the beta 3-adrenoreceptor-mediated sympathetic activation. However, the effect of the mirabegron, approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, on atherosclerosis-related cardiovascular disease is unknown. Here, we show that the clinical dose of mirabegron-induced BAT activation and browning of white adipose tissue (WAT) exacerbate atherosclerotic plaque de- velopment. In apolipoprotein E-/- (ApoE(-/-)) and low-density lipo- protein (LDL) receptor(-/-) (Ldlr(-/-)) mice, oral administration of clinically relevant doses of mirabegron markedly accelerates atherosclerotic plaque growth and instability by a mechanism of increasing plasma levels of both LDL-cholesterol and very LDL-cholesterol remnants. Stimulation of atherosclerotic plaque development by mirabegron is dependent on thermogenesis-triggered lipolysis. Genetic deletion of the critical thermogenesis-dependent protein, uncoupling protein 1, completely abrogates the mirabegron-induced atherosclerosis. Together, our findings suggest that mirabegron may trigger cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in patients who suffer from atherosclerosis.
