Abstract—Pressure overload ventricular hypertrophy is accompanied by dysfunctional ß-adrenergic receptor signaling due to increased levels of the ß-adrenergic receptor kinase-1, which phosphorylates and desensitizes ß-adrenergic receptors. In this study, we examined whether increased ß-adrenergic receptor kinase 1 expression is associated with myocardial hypertrophy induced by adrenergic stimulation. With use of implanted mini-osmotic pumps, we treated mice with isoproterenol, phenylephrine, or vehicle to distinguish between {alpha}1- and ß-adrenergic stimulation. Both treatments resulted in cardiac hypertrophy, but only isoproterenol induced significant increases in ß-adrenergic receptor kinase-1 protein levels and activity. Similarly, in isolated adult rat cardiac myocytes, 24 hours of isoproterenol stimulation resulted in a significant 2.8-fold increase in ß-adrenergic receptor kinase-1 protein levels, whereas 24 hours of phenylephrine treatment did not alter ß-adrenergic receptor kinase-1 expression. Our results indicate that increased ß-adrenergic receptor kinase-1 is not invariably associated with myocardial hypertrophy but apparently is controlled by the state of ß-adrenergic receptor activation.


Key Words: myocardial hypertrophy • ß-adrenergic receptor • G protein–coupled receptor kinases • desensitization • catecholamines
