Mechanisms of Impaired beta -Adrenergic Receptor Signaling in Galpha q-Mediated Cardiac Hypertrophy and Ventricular Dysfunction

Targeted cardiac overexpression of the alpha -subunit of the heterotrimeric G protein Gq in transgenic mice evokes hypertrophy and depressed stimulation of cardiac inotropy and chronotropy by beta -adrenergic receptor (beta AR) agonists in vivo, which is a hallmark of many forms of experimental and human heart failure. The molecular basis of this beta AR dysfunction was explored in transgenic mice overexpressing Galpha q ~5-fold over background. Isoproterenol-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activities in myocardial membranes were significantly depressed in Galpha q mice compared with nontransgenic controls (19.7 ± 2.6 versus 43.7 ± 5.6 pmol/min/mg) without a decrease in beta AR expression levels. Functional coupling of both beta AR subtypes was impaired. Similarly, in whole-cell patch-clamp studies, beta AR stimulation of L-type Ca2+ channel currents was depressed ~75% in the Galpha q mice. Cardiac beta AR from these mice showed decreased formation of the active high-affinity conformation (RH = 29% versus 62% for nontransgenic littermates), confirming a receptor-Gs-coupling defect. Of the three candidate kinases that might impose this uncoupling by receptor phosphorylation (protein kinase A, beta AR kinase, protein kinase C), only protein kinase C activity was elevated in Galpha q mouse hearts. Type V adenylyl cyclase was decreased ~45% in these mice, consistent with decreased basal, NaF, and forskolin-stimulated enzyme activities. Although cellular Gs levels were unaltered, Gi2 and Gi3 were increased in Galpha q mice. Pertussis toxin treatment of isolated Galpha q myocytes resulted in an improvement in beta AR, but not that of forskolin or NaF, stimulation of adenylyl cyclase. Thus three distinct mechanisms contribute to impaired beta AR function by in vivo Gq signaling cross-talk in myocytes. Because many elements of hypertrophy and/or failure in cellular and animal models can be initiated by increased Galpha q signaling, the current work may be broadly applicable to interfaces whereby modification of heart failure might be considered.
