- Abstract:
- Stretch activates various signal transduction pathways including mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK). Stretch-induced phosphorylation of MAPK-contribution to contractility in human myocardium is unknown. We tested the effects of stretch on p44/42-, p38-MAPK and p90rsk phosphorylation and the functional relevance for force development in failing (F) and non-failing (NF) human myocardium. Trabeculae were stretched to a diastolic tension of 12mN/mm2 for 2.5 to 30 minutes and frozen for Western Blot analysis. Stretch induced a time-dependent increase in phosphorylation of p44/42-, p38-MAPK and p90rsk. For functional analysis, trabeculae from F myocardium were stretched and the immediate (Frank-Starling mechanism; FSM) and delayed (slow force response; SFR) increase in twitch force was assessed before and after blocking the activation of p44/42-MAPK (30 micromol/L U0126) and p38-MAPK (10 micromol/L SB203580). Inhibition of p44/42-MAPK almost completely blocked the SFR (106.7 3.7% vs. 125.4 2.9%), while p38-MAPK-blockade significantly increased the SFR (124.6 1.9% vs. 121.2 2.2%). Stretch induced a time-dependent increase in p44/42-, p38-MAPK and p90rsk phosphorylation in F and NF myocardium. While p44/42-MAPK phosphorylation contributed to the SFR, p38-MAPK activation antagonized the stretch-induced SFR.
