It is well known that sympathetic and thus catecholamine signal is activated thereafter to compensate cardiac dysfunction. The mechanism of such compensation by catecholamine has been traditionally understood as PKA-mediated enforcement of cardiac contractility. We hypothesized that Epac, a new target of cAMP signal that functions independently from PKA, also plays a key role. Epac1 inhibited the Jak-STAT pathway and iNOS protein in the heart in response via IL-6. Activation of the cAMP/Epac pathway protected the heart against cytokine-induced cardiac dysfunction, suggesting a new role of catecholamine signal in compensating cardiac dysfunction in endotoxemia.

众所周知，交感神经信号和儿茶酚胺信号随后被激活以补偿心脏功能障碍。儿茶酚胺的这种补偿机制传统上被理解为 PKA 介导的心肌收缩力的增强。我们假设 Epac（一种独立于 PKA 发挥作用的 cAMP 信号新靶标）也发挥着关键作用。 Epac1 通过 IL-6 抑制心脏中的 Jak-STAT 通路和 iNOS 蛋白。 cAMP/Epac 通路的激活可保护心脏免受细胞因子诱导的心功能障碍的影响，表明儿茶酚胺信号在内毒素血症中补偿心功能障碍中的新作用。
