Background and purpose: We have previously shown that b-adrenoceptors continuously stimulated with noradrenaline induces an increase in b3-adrenoceptors (GaiPCRs) and a decrease in b1-adrenoceptors (GasPCRs) at functional, genomic and protein levels. This compensatory modification induced by noradrenaline is probably one of the consequences of cardiac depression observed in heart disease. Therefore, we investigated further the interaction between b1and b3-adrenoceptors in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Experimental approach: Functional studies were performed by cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) accumulation assays in cells untreated or treated with dobutamine and ICI 118551 (b1-adrenoceptor) or CL-3162436243 (b3-adrenoceptor) for 24 h in the presence or absence of protein kinase inhibitors. b-adrenoceptor and protein kinase expression was monitored by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and by Western blotting, respectively. Key results: Chronic b1or b3-adrenoceptor stimulation reduced b1-adrenoceptor-mediated cAMP accumulation in association with a decrease in b1-adrenoceptor mRNA and protein levels through protein kinase C (PKC), phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) activation. In contrast, both treatments induced an increase in b3-adrenoceptor expression and b3-adrenoceptor-inhibited forskolin response through PKC, extracellular-signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) and p38MAPK phosphorylation, although no b3-adrenoceptor response was observed in untreated cells. ERK1/2 and p38MAPK were activated by both treatments. The modulation of b1or b3-adrenoceptor function did not require stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK) although chronic b1-adrenoceptor stimulation activated SAPK/JNK. b3-adrenoceptor treatment activated Akt although PI3K was not involved in b3-adrenoceptor up-regulation. Conclusion and implications: We show for the first time that chronic b1or b3-adrenoceptor stimulation leads to the modulation of b1and b3-adrenoceptors by a cross-regulation involving PKC, PI3K p38MAPK and MEK/ERK1/2 pathway, and through protein kinase A when b1-adrenoceptors are chronically activated.
