Chronic stimulation of the beta-AR (adrenergic receptor) promotes apoptosis of cardiomyocytes, which is implicated in cardiac dysfunction. beta(1)-AR and beta 2-AR are the main subtypes of beta-AR that exert distinct effects on the survival of cardiomyocytes. To clarify the physiological roles of beta(1)-AR and beta(2)-AR in cardiomyocytes, the effects of beta(1)-AR or beta(2)-AR knockdown on the survival of H9c2 cardiomyocytes was investigated. Knockdown of p2-AR, but not beta(1)-AR, suppressed the phosphorylation of EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) and PDGFR (platelet-derived growth factor receptor) induced by ISO (isoprenaline). The EGFR inhibitor, AG 1478, attenuated ERK (extracellular-signal-regulated kinase) activation and partially decreased cell survival. Pretreatment with AG 1296, a PDGFR inhibitor, abolished ISO-induced Akt (also known as protein kinase B) phosphorylation and led to a decrease in cell viability. In addition, the Src tyrosine kinase inhibitor, PP2, blocked ISO-mediated both Akt and ERK activation and heavily suppressed viability. Accordingly, in primary neonatal rat cardiomyocytes, the beta(2)-AR inhibitor, but not the beta(1)-AR inhibitor, abrogated the transactivation of EGFR and PDGFR, which was respectively related to Akt and ERK activation. The results show that beta(2)-AR transactivates PDGFR and EGFR, thereby promoting survival of cardiomyocytes.
