Conditioned medium of cardiac fibroblasts was found to induce protein synthesis and signal transduction events rapidly, and to increase angiotensinogen messenger RNA (mRNA) levels in neonatal rat ventricular myocytes. Within 4 hours, fibroblast-conditioned medium (FCM) stimulated protein synthesis in cardiac myocytes, independent of the contractile state, and induced marked increases within 24 hours in total protein content. Endothelin-1 released by cardiac fibroblasts was not responsible for the stimulation of protein synthesis. FCM rapidly activated signal transduction events in cardiac myocytes associated with hypertrophic stimuli, including: (1) increased tyrosine phosphorylation of several prominent protein bands; (2) mitogen-activated protein kinases (ERK 1 and ERK 2); and (3) protein kinase C. Finally, FCM caused an increase at 8 hours in angiotensinogen mRNA levels of cardiac myocytes, whereas no effect was observed on mRNA levels for renin or the type 1 angiotensin II receptor (AT1). Our results suggest that cardiac fibroblasts produce a factor that rapidly activates cardiac myocyte growth through a membrane receptor that couples to conventional signal transduction pathways.
