Abstract
The ability to fight or flee from a threat relies on an acute adrenergic surge that augments cardiac output, which is dependent on increased cardiac contractility and heart rate. This cardiac response depends on β-adrenergic-initiated reversal of the small RGK G protein Rad-mediated inhibition of voltage-gated calcium channels (CaV) acting through the Cavβ subunit. Here, we investigate how Rad couples phosphorylation to augmented Ca2+ influx and increased cardiac contraction. We show that reversal required phosphorylation of Ser272 and Ser300 within Rad's polybasic, hydrophobic C-terminal domain (CTD). Phosphorylation of Ser25 and Ser38 in Rad's N-terminal domain (NTD) alone was ineffective. Phosphorylation of Ser272 and Ser300 or the addition of 4 Asp residues to the CTD reduced Rad's association with the negatively charged, cytoplasmic plasmalemmal surface and with CaVβ, even in the absence of CaVα, measured here by FRET. Addition of a posttranslationally prenylated CAAX motif to Rad's C-terminus, which constitutively tethers Rad to the membrane, prevented the physiological and biochemical effects of both phosphorylation and Asp substitution. Thus, dissociation of Rad from the sarcolemma, and consequently from CaVβ, is sufficient for sympathetic upregulation of Ca2+ currents.

Abstract
Obesity can have a significant impact on pregnancy outcomes by compromising the ability of the uterus to relax, which increases the likelihood of conditions such as preterm labor. One of the key pathways responsible for uterine relaxation is the β-adrenergic signaling pathway, and it is well-documented that obesity, often linked to a high-fat diet, can disrupt this pathway within the uterine environment. Hyperleptinemia is a significant feature of pregnancy as well as obesity. However, the effect of leptin on β-adrenergic signaling pathway has not been studied. In the present study, we studied the effects of leptin on transcriptions of the major proteins defining the β-adrenergic signaling pathway in pregnant rat uterus. Leptin treatment at a supraphysiological concentration to pregnant rat uterine strips increased the mRNA and protein expressions of Gs protein but not the mRNA of β2- and β3-adrenoceptors. It also enhanced the expression of Gi-protein, but not the Gq protein. Nevertheless, the mRNA ratio of Gs to Gi protein experienced a significant decrease. Further, leptin reduced the transcription of BKCaα and BKCaβ channel subunits. In leptin-stimulated tissues, there was also an increase in the expression of leptin receptor and JAK-2. In conclusion, leptin decreases the ratio of Gs to Gi proteins and BKCaα and BKCaβ channel subunits suggesting hyperleptinemia is a likely factor inducing uterine relaxant dysfunction in obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adrenergic dysregulation has been proposed as a possible underlying mechanism in feeding and eating disorders (FED). This review aims to synthesise the current evidence on the role of adrenergic dysregulation in the pathogenesis and management of FED. METHODS A systematic review was conducted in MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and Clinicaltrials.gov. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) was adopted. Preclinical, clinical, and pharmacological studies assessing the adrenergic system in FED were included. RESULTS Thirty-one out of 1415 recognised studies were included. Preclinically, studies on adrenaline's anorectic impact, receptor subtypes, and effects on hepatic function in rats show that catecholamine anorexia is primarily alpha-adrenergic, whereas beta-adrenergic anorexia can be obtained only after puberty, implying an impact of sexual hormones. Clinically, catecholamine levels may be higher in FED patients than in healthy controls (HC). Individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN) may show higher epinephrine-induced platelet aggregability response than HC. Pharmacological trials suggest that the alpha-2-adrenergic medication clonidine may not lower AN symptoms, but agents regulating the adrenaline-noradrenaline neurotransmission (bupropion, reboxetine, duloxetine, sibutramine) have been found to improve binge eating symptoms. CONCLUSION Adrenergic dysregulation may be involved in the pathophysiology of FED. More research is needed to comprehend underlying mechanisms and treatment implications.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the repeatability of brown adipose tissue (BAT) activation measured by [18F]FDG-PET after beta3-adrenergic stimuli with CL316243 in mice. METHODS Male C57BL/6 mice underwent [18F]FDG-PET at baseline without stimulation (T0-NS), on three consecutive days after intravenous administration of the selective β3-adrenergic agonist CL316243 (T1-CL, T2-CL, T3-CL), and without stimuli after 1 and 2 weeks (T7-NS and T14-NS). The standardized uptake value (SUVmax), BAT metabolic volume (BMV), and total BAT glycolysis (TBG) were measured in each scanning session, with statistical groupwise comparisons by ANOVA and post hoc Tukey test. RESULTS SUVmax, BMV, and TBG values showed no significant differences between the three PET scans without stimuli, but were significantly higher after CL316243 administration (p < 0.0001). The mean coefficient of variation (CoV) of PET within individuals was 49 % at baseline but only 9 % with pharmacological stimulation. CONCLUSIONS The study demonstrated that administration of the selective β3-adrenergic receptor agonist CL316243 (CL) in mice leads to consistent metabolic activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT), as measured by [18F]FDG-PET. We also demonstrated metabolic activation by repeated pharmacological challenge, without evidence of hysteresis. Thus, the methods used in the current work should serve for further studies on BAT metabolism in experimental animals, with translational value for clinical research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phospholipases A2 (PLA2 ) may be involved in α1 -adrenergic contraction by formation of thromboxane A2 in different smooth muscle types. However, whether this mechanism occurs with α1 -adrenergic contractions of the prostate, is still unknown. While α1 -adrenoceptor antagonists are the first line option for medical treatment of voiding symptoms in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), improvements are limited, probably by nonadrenergic contractions including thromboxane A2 . Here, we examined effects of PLA2 inhibitors on contractions of human prostate tissues. METHODS Prostate tissues were obtained from radical prostatectomy. Contractions were induced by electric field stimulation (EFS) and by α1 -adrenergic agonists in an organ bath, after application of the cytosolic PLA2 inhibitors ASB14780 and AACOCF3, the secretory PLA2 inhibitor YM26734, the leukotriene receptor antagonist montelukast, or of solvent to controls. RESULTS Frequency-dependent contractions of human prostate tissues induced by EFS were inhibited by 25% at 8 Hz, 38% at 16 Hz and 37% at 32 Hz by ASB14780 (1 µM), and by 32% at 16 Hz and 22% at 32 Hz by AACOCF3 (10 µM). None of both inhibitors affected contractions induced by noradrenaline, phenylephrine or methoxamine. YM26734 (3 µM) and montelukast (0.3 and 1 µM) neither affected EFS-induced contractions, nor contractions by α1 -adrenergic agonists, while all contractions were substantially inhibited by silodosin (100 nM). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest presynaptic PLA2 functions in prostate smooth muscle contraction, while contractions induced by α1 -adrenergic agonists occur PLA2 -independent. Lacking sensitivity to montelukast excludes an involvement of PLA2 -derived leukotrienes in promotion of contractile neurotransmission.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sustained, chronic activation of β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) signaling leads to cardiac arrhythmias, with exchange proteins directly activated by cAMP (Epac1 and Epac2) as key mediators. This study aimed to evaluate whether CD44, a transmembrane receptor mediating various cellular responses, participates in Epac-dependent arrhythmias. METHODS The heart tissue from CD44 knockout (CD44-/-) mice, cultured HL-1 myocytes and the tissue of human ventricle were used for western blot, co-immunoprecipitaiton and confocal studies. Line-scanning confocal imaging was used for the study of cellular Ca2+ sparks on myocytes. Optical mapping and intra-cardiac pacing were applied for arrhythmia studies on mice's hearts. RESULTS In mice, isoproterenol, a β-AR agonist, upregulated CD44 and Epac1 and increased the association between CD44 and Epac1. Isoproterenol upregulated the expression of phospho-CaMKII (p-CaMKII), phospho-ryanodine receptor (p-RyR), and phospho-phospholamban (p-PLN) in mice and cultured myocytes; these effects were attenuated in CD44-/- mice compared with wild-type controls. In vitro, isoproterenol, 8-CPT-cAMP (an Epac agonist), and osteopontin (a ligand of CD44) significantly upregulated the expression of p-CaMKII, p-RyR, and p-PLN; this effect was attenuated by CD44 small interfering RNA (siRNA). In myocytes, resting Ca2+ sparks were induced by isoproterenol and overexpressed CD44, which were prevented by inhibiting CD44. Ex vivo optical mapping and in vivo intra-cardiac pacing studies showed isoproterenol-induced triggered events and arrhythmias in ventricles were prevented in CD44-/- mice. The inducibility of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) was attenuated in CD44-/- HF mice compared with wild-type HF controls. In patients, CD44 were upregulated, and the association between CD44 and Epac1 were increased in ventricles with reduced contractility. CONCLUSION CD44 regulates β-AR- and Epac1-mediated Ca2+-handling abnormalities and VAs. Inhibition of CD44 is effective in reducing VAs in HF, which is potentially a novel therapeutic target for preventing the arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in patients with diseased hearts.

Abstract
The immune system is known to be controlled by the autonomic nervous system including sympathetic and parasympathetic (vagus) nerves. C1 neurons in the medulla oblongata, which participate in the control of the autonomic nervous system, are responders to stressors and regulate the immune system. Short-term activation of C1 neurons suppresses inflammation, while the effect of a long-term activation of these neurons on the inflammatory reflex is unclear. We, herein, demonstrate that the coactivation of both the splenic sympathetic nerves and the adrenal gland adrenergic response are indispensable for the prognosis of acute lung injury. The chemogenetic activation of C1 neurons increased plasma catecholamine including adrenaline and noradrenaline levels. The deletion of catecholaminergic cells using local injections of viral vector in the adrenal gland abolished the protective effect against acute lung injury when the C1 neurons were stimulated by either chemogenetic or optogenetic tools. Furthermore, repeated activation of C1 neurons using chemogenetic tool inhibited the adrenal response without affecting the plasma noradrenaline levels, eliminated the protective effect against acute lung injury. This was rescued by the isoprenaline administration. We concluded that the maintenance of an adrenergic response via C1 neurons in the adrenal gland is a prerequisite for the delivery of an effective anti-inflammatory response.

Abstract
β-adrenergic (β-AR) signaling is essential for the adaptation of the heart to exercise and stress. Chronic stress leads to the activation of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) and protein kinase D (PKD). Unlike CaMKII, the effects of PKD on excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) remain unclear. To elucidate the mechanisms of PKD-dependent ECC regulation, we used hearts from cardiac-specific PKD1 knockout (PKD1 cKO) mice and wild-type (WT) littermates. We measured calcium transients (CaT), Ca2+ sparks, contraction and L-type Ca2+ current in paced cardiomyocytes under acute β-AR stimulation with isoproterenol (ISO; 100 nM). Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ load was assessed by rapid caffeine (10 mM) induced Ca2+ release. Expression and phosphorylation of ECC proteins phospholambam (PLB), troponin I (TnI), ryanodine receptor (RyR), sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) were evaluated by western blotting. At baseline, CaT amplitude and decay tau, Ca2+ spark frequency, SR Ca2+ load, L-type Ca2+ current, contractility, and expression and phosphorylation of ECC protein were all similar in PKD1 cKO vs. WT. However, PKD1 cKO cardiomyocytes presented a diminished ISO response vs. WT with less increase in CaT amplitude, slower [Ca2+]i decline, lower Ca2+ spark rate and lower RyR phosphorylation, but with similar SR Ca2+ load, L-type Ca2+ current, contraction and phosphorylation of PLB and TnI. We infer that the presence of PKD1 allows full cardiomyocyte β-adrenergic responsiveness by allowing optimal enhancement in SR Ca2+ uptake and RyR sensitivity, but not altering L-type Ca2+ current, TnI phosphorylation or contractile response. Further studies are necessary to elucidate the specific mechanisms by which PKD1 is regulating RyR sensitivity. We conclude that the presence of basal PKD1 activity in cardiac ventricular myocytes contributes to normal β-adrenergic responses in Ca2+ handling.

Abstract
AIM The pulse wave response to salbutamol (PWRS) - change in augmentation index (AIx) - provides a means to assess endothelial vasodilator function in vivo . Endothelial dysfunction plays a relevant role in the pathogenesis of hypertension and cardiovascular disease and appears to underlie many of the complications of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, to what degree this persists after recovery is unknown. METHODS Individuals previously hospitalized with COVID-19, those recovered from mild symptoms and seronegative controls with well known risk factors for endothelial dysfunction were studied. To assess the involvement of nitric oxide-cyclic guanosine monophosphate pathway (NO-cGMP) on PWRS, sildenafil was also administrated in a subsample. RESULTS One hundred and one participants (60 men) aged 47.8 ± 14.1 (mean ± SD) years of whom 33 were previously hospitalized with COVID-19 were recruited. Salbutamol had minimal effect on haemodynamics including blood pressure and heart rate. It reduced AIx in controls ( n = 34) and those recovered from mild symptoms of COVID-19 ( n = 34) but produced an increase in AIx in those previously hospitalized: mean change [95% confidence interval] -2.85 [-5.52, -0.188] %, -2.32 [-5.17,0.54] %, and 3.03 [0.06, 6.00] % for controls, those recovered from mild symptoms and those previously hospitalized, respectively ( P = 0.001). In a sub-sample ( n = 22), sildenafil enhanced PWRS (change in AIx 0.05 [-2.15,2.24] vs. -3.96 [-7.01. -2.18], P = 0.006) with no significant difference between hospitalized ( n = 12) and nonhospitalized participants ( n = 10). CONCLUSIONS In patients previously hospitalized with COVID-19, there is long-lasting impairment of endothelial function as measured by the salbutamol-induced stimulation of the NO-cGMP pathway that may contribute to cardiovascular complications.

Abstract
The unsatisfactory rates of adequate blood pressure control among patients receiving antihypertensive treatment calls for new therapeutic strategies to treat hypertension. Several studies have shown that oral sodium nitrite exerts significant antihypertensive effects, but the mechanisms underlying these effects remain unclear. While these mechanisms may involve nitrite-derived S-nitrosothiols, their implication in important alterations associated with hypertension, such as aberrant α1-adrenergic vasoconstriction, has not yet been investigated. Here, we examined the effects of oral nitrite treatment on vascular responses to the α1-adrenergic agonist phenylephrine in two-kidney, one clip (2K1C) hypertensive rats and investigated the potential underlying mechanisms. Our results show that treatment with oral sodium nitrite decreases blood pressure and prevents the increased α1-adrenergic vasoconstriction in 2K1C hypertensive rats. Interestingly, we found that these effects require vascular protein S-nitrosylation, and to investigate the specific S-nitrosylated proteins we performed an unbiased nitrosoproteomic analysis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) treated with the nitrosylating compound S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO). This analysis revealed that GSNO markedly increases the nitrosylation of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II γ (CaMKIIγ), a multifunctional protein that mediates the α1-adrenergic receptor signaling. This result was associated with reduced α1-adrenergic receptor-mediated CaMKIIγ activity in VSMCs. We further tested the relevance of these findings in vivo and found that treatment with oral nitrite increases CaMKIIγ S-nitrosylation and blunts the increased CaMKIIγ activity induced by phenylephrine in rat aortas. Collectively, these results are consistent with the idea that oral sodium nitrite treatment increases vascular protein S-nitrosylation, including CaMKIIγ as a target, which may ultimately prevent the increased α1-adrenergic vasoconstriction induced by hypertension. These mechanisms may help to explain the antihypertensive effects of oral nitrite and hold potential implications in the therapy of hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases associated with abnormal α1-adrenergic vasoconstriction.

Abstract
The age-related increase in α-adrenergic tone may contribute to decreased leg vascular conductance (LVC) both at rest and during exercise in the old. However, the effect on passive leg movement (PLM)-induced LVC, a measure of vascular function, which is markedly attenuated in this population, is unknown. Thus, in eight young (25 ± 5 yr) and seven old (65 ± 7 yr) subjects, this investigation examined the impact of systemic β-adrenergic blockade (propanalol, PROP) alone, and PROP combined with either α1-adrenergic stimulation (phenylephrine, PE) or α-adrenergic inhibition (phentolamine, PHEN), on PLM-induced vasodilation. LVC, calculated from femoral artery blood flow and pressure, was determined and PLM-induced Δ peak (LVCΔpeak) and total vasodilation (LVCAUC, area under curve) were documented. PROP decreased LVCΔpeak (PROP: 4.8 ± 1.8, Saline: 7.7 ± 2.7 mL·mmHg-1, P < 0.001) and LVCAUC (PROP: 1.1 ± 0.7, Saline: 2.4 ± 1.6 mL·mmHg-1, P = 0.002) in the young, but not in the old (LVCΔpeak, P = 0.931; LVCAUC, P = 0.999). PE reduced baseline LVC (PE: 1.6 ± 0.4, PROP: 2.3 ± 0.4 mL·min-1·mmHg-1, P < 0.01), LVCΔpeak (PE: 3.2 ± 1.3, PROP: 4.8 ± 1.8 mL·min-1·mmHg-1, P = 0.004), and LVCAUC (PE: 0.5 ± 0.4, PROP: 1.1 ± 0.7 mL·mmHg-1, P = 0.011) in the young, but not in the old (baseline LVC, P = 0.199; LVCΔpeak, P = 0.904; LVCAUC, P = 0.823). PHEN increased LVC at rest and throughout PLM in both groups (drug effect: P < 0.05), however LVCΔpeak was only improved in the young (PHEN: 6.4 ± 3.1, PROP: 4.4 ± 1.5 mL·min-1·mmHg-1, P = 0.004), and not in the old (P = 0.904). Furthermore, the magnitude of α-adrenergic modulation (PHEN - PE) of LVCΔpeak was greater in the young compared with the old (Young: 3.35 ± 2.32, Old: 0.40 ± 1.59 mL·min-1·mmHg-1, P = 0.019). Therefore, elevated α-adrenergic tone does not appear to contribute to the attenuated vascular function with age identified by PLM.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Stimulation of α1-adrenergic receptors eliminated age-related differences in passive leg movement (PLM) by decreasing PLM-induced vasodilation in the young. Systemic β-blockade attenuated the central hemodynamic component of the PLM response in young individuals. Inhibition of α-adrenergic receptors did not improve the PLM response in older individuals, though withdrawal of α-adrenergic modulation augmented baseline and maximal vasodilation in both groups. Accordingly, α-adrenergic signaling plays a role in modulating the PLM vasodilatory response in young but not in old adults, and elevated α-adrenergic tone does not appear to contribute to the attenuated vascular function with age identified by PLM.

Abstract
Food restriction (FR) enhances sensitivity to cardiopulmonary reflexes and α1-adrenoreceptors in females in the presence of hypotension. However, the effect of FR on cardiopulmonary and vascular function in males is not well-understood. This study examines the effects of FR on cardiopulmonary, isolated arterial function, and potential underlying mechanisms. Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into 3 groups and monitored for 5 weeks: (1) control (n = 30), (2) 20% food reduction (FR20, n = 30), and (3) 40% food reduction (FR40, n = 30). Non-invasive blood pressure was measured twice a week. Pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) was measured using isolated/perfused lungs. The isolated vascular reactivity was assessed using double-wire myographs. FR rats exhibited a lower mean arterial pressure and heart rate; however, only the FR40 group exhibited statistically significant differences. We observed that FR enhanced sensitivity (EC50) to vasoconstriction induced by the α1-adrenoreceptor phenylephrine (PhE) but not to serotonin, U46619, or high K+ in the mesenteric arteries. PhE-mediated vasoconstriction in the mesenteric arteries was eliminated in the presence of the eNOS inhibitor (L-NAME). In addition, incubation with NOX2/4 inhibitors (apocynin, GKT137831, and VAS2870) and the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger inhibitor (Tiron) eliminated the differences in PhE-mediated vasoconstriction, but the cyclooxygenase inhibitor (indomethacin) in the mesenteric arteries did not. Augmentation of α1-adrenergic-mediated contraction via the inhibition of the eNOS-NO pathway increased the activation of ROS through NOX2/4 in response to FR. Reduced eNOS-NO signaling may be a pathophysiological counterbalance to prevent hypovolemic shock in response to FR.

Abstract
Sympathetic transduction is reduced following chronic high-altitude (HA) exposure; however, vascular α-adrenergic signaling, the primary mechanism mediating sympathetic vasoconstriction at sea level (SL), has not been examined at HA. In nine male lowlanders, we measured forearm blood flow (Doppler ultrasound) and calculated changes in vascular conductance (ΔFVC) during 1) incremental intra-arterial infusion of phenylephrine to assess α1-adrenergic receptor responsiveness and 2) combined intra-arterial infusion of β-adrenergic and α-adrenergic antagonists propranolol and phentolamine (α-β-blockade) to assess adrenergic vascular restraint at rest and during exercise-induced sympathoexcitation (cycling; 60% peak power). Experiments were performed near SL (344 m) and after 3 wk at HA (4,383 m). HA abolished the vasoconstrictor response to low-dose phenylephrine (ΔFVC: SL: -34 ± 15%, vs. HA; +3 ± 18%; P < 0.0001) and markedly attenuated the response to medium (ΔFVC: SL: -45 ± 18% vs. HA: -28 ± 11%; P = 0.009) and high (ΔFVC: SL: -47 ± 20%, vs. HA: -35 ± 20%; P = 0.041) doses. Blockade of β-adrenergic receptors alone had no effect on resting FVC (P = 0.500) and combined α-β-blockade induced a similar vasodilatory response at SL and HA (P = 0.580). Forearm vasoconstriction during cycling was not different at SL and HA (P = 0.999). Interestingly, cycling-induced forearm vasoconstriction was attenuated by α-β-blockade at SL (ΔFVC: Control: -27 ± 128 vs. α-β-blockade: +19 ± 23%; P = 0.0004), but unaffected at HA (ΔFVC: Control: -20 ± 22 vs. α-β-blockade: -23 ± 11%; P = 0.999). Our results indicate that in healthy males, altitude acclimatization attenuates α1-adrenergic receptor responsiveness; however, resting α-adrenergic restraint remains intact, due to concurrent resting sympathoexcitation. Furthermore, forearm vasoconstrictor responses to cycling are preserved, although the contribution of adrenergic receptors is diminished, indicating a reliance on alternative vasoconstrictor mechanisms.

Abstract
Hyperactivity of the parasympathetic nervous system has been linked to the development of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). The parasympathetic neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) causes a reduction in action potential (AP) duration (APD) and an increase in resting membrane potential (RMP), both of which contribute to enhance the risk for reentry. Research suggests that small-conductance calcium activated potassium (SK) channels may be an effective target for treating AF. Therapies targeting the autonomic nervous system, either alone or in combination with other drugs, have been explored and have been shown to decrease the incidence of atrial arrhythmias. This study uses computational modeling and simulation to examine the impact of SK channel block (SKb) and β-adrenergic stimulation through Isoproterenol (Iso) on countering the negative effects of cholinergic activity in human atrial cell and 2D tissue models. The steady-state effects of Iso and/or SKb on AP shape, APD at 90% repolarization (APD90) and RMP were evaluated. The ability to terminate stable rotational activity in cholinergically-stimulated 2D tissue models of AF was also investigated. A range of SKb and Iso application kinetics, which reflect varying drug binding rates, were taken into consideration. The results showed that SKb alone prolonged APD90 and was able to stop sustained rotors in the presence of ACh concentrations up to 0.01 μM. Iso terminated rotors under all tested ACh concentrations, but resulted in highly-variable steady-state outcomes depending on baseline AP morphology. Importantly, the combination of SKb and Iso resulted in greater APD90 prolongation and showed promising anti-arrhythmic potential by stopping stable rotors and preventing re-inducibility.

Abstract
Troponin I (TnI) is a key regulator of cardiac contraction and relaxation with TnI Ser-23/24 phosphorylation serving as a myofilament mechanism to modulate cardiac function. Basal cardiac TnI Ser-23/24 phosphorylation is high such that both increased and decreased TnI phosphorylation may modulate cardiac function. While the effects of increasing TnI Ser-23/24 phosphorylation on heart function are well established, the effects of decreasing TnI Ser-23/24 phosphorylation are not clear. To understand the in vivo role of decreased TnI Ser-23/24 phosphorylation, mice expressing TnI with Ser-23/24 mutated to alanine (TnI S23/24A) that lack the ability to be phosphorylated at these residues were subjected to echocardiography and pressure-volume hemodynamic measurements in the absence or presence of physiological (pacing increasing heart rate or adrenergic stimulation) or pathological (transverse aortic constriction (TAC)) stress. In the absence of pathological stress, the lack of TnI Ser-23/24 phosphorylation impaired systolic and diastolic function. TnI S23/24A mice also had an impaired systolic and diastolic response upon stimulation increased heart rate and an impaired adrenergic response upon dobutamine infusion. Following pathological cardiac stress induced by TAC, TnI S23/24A mice had a greater increase in ventricular mass, worse diastolic function, and impaired systolic and diastolic function upon increasing heart rate. These findings demonstrate that mice lacking the ability to phosphorylate TnI at Ser-23/24 have impaired in vivo systolic and diastolic cardiac function, a blunted cardiac reserve and a worse response to pathological stress supporting decreased TnI Ser23/24 phosphorylation is a modulator of these processes in vivo.

Abstract
AIM The acute myocellular responses of caffeine supplementation during resistance exercise (RE) have not been investigated. β2-Adrenergic receptors (β2AR) may be a target of the stimulatory effects of caffeine and stimulate bioenergetic pathways including protein kinase A (PKA), and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK). PURPOSE Elucidate the effects of pre-workout supplementation on signaling responses to an acute RE bout. METHODS In a randomized, counter-balanced, double-blind, placebo-controlled, within-subject crossover study, ten resistance-trained males (mean ± SD; age = 22 ± 2.4 years, height = 175 ± 7 cm, body mass = 84.1 ± 11.8 kg) consumed a caffeine containing multi-ingredient pre-workout supplement (SUPP) or color and flavor matched placebo (PL) 60 min prior to an acute RE bout of barbell back squats. Pre- and post-exercise muscle biopsies were analyzed for the phosphorylation (p-) of β2AR, PKA, and MAPK (ERK, JNK, p38). Epinephrine was determined prior to supplementation (baseline; BL), after supplementation but prior to RE (PRE), and immediately after RE (POST). RESULTS Epinephrine increased at PRE in SUPP (mean ± SE: 323 ± 34 vs 457 ± 68 pmol/l; p = 0.028), and was greatest at POST in the SUPP condition compared to PL (5140 ± 852 vs 2862 ± 498 pmol/l; p = 0.006). p-β2AR and p-MAPK increased post-exercise (p < 0.05) with no differences between conditions (p > 0.05). Pearson correlations indicated there was a relationship between epinephrine and p-β2AR in PL (r = - 0.810; p = 0.008), and p-β2AR and ERK in SUPP (r = 0.941; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Consumption of a caffeine containing pre-workout supplement improves performance, possibly through increases in pre-exercise catecholamines. However, the acute myocellular signaling responses were largely similar post-exercise.

Abstract
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after the pandemic has emerged as a major neuropsychiatric component of post-acute COVID-19 syndrome, yet the current pharmacotherapy for PTSD is limited. The use of adrenergic drugs to treat PTSD has been suggested; however, it is hindered by conflicting clinical results and a lack of mechanistic understanding of drug actions. Our studies, using both genetically modified mice and human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons, reveal a novel α2A adrenergic receptor (α2AAR)-spinophilin-cofilin axis in the hippocampus that is critical for regulation of contextual fear memory reconsolidation. In addition, we have found that two α2 ligands, clonidine and guanfacine, exhibit differential abilities in activating this signaling axis to disrupt fear memory reconsolidation. Stimulation of α2AAR with clonidine, but not guanfacine, promotes the interaction of the actin binding protein cofilin with the receptor and with the dendritic spine scaffolding protein spinophilin to induce cofilin activation at the synapse. Spinophilin-dependent regulation of cofilin is required for clonidine-induced disruption of contextual fear memory reconsolidation. Our results inform the interpretation of differential clinical observations of these two drugs on PTSD and suggest that clonidine could provide immediate treatment for PTSD symptoms related to the current pandemic. Furthermore, our study indicates that modulation of dendritic spine morphology may represent an effective strategy for the development of new pharmacotherapies for PTSD.

Abstract
Peripheral inputs continuously shape brain function and can influence memory acquisition, but the underlying mechanisms have not been fully understood. Cannabinoid type-1 receptor (CB1R) is a well-recognized player in memory performance, and its systemic modulation significantly influences memory function. By assessing low arousal/non-emotional recognition memory in mice, we found a relevant role of peripheral CB1R in memory persistence. Indeed, the peripherally-restricted CB1R specific antagonist AM6545 showed significant mnemonic effects that were occluded in adrenalectomized mice, and after peripheral adrenergic blockade. AM6545 also transiently impaired contextual fear memory extinction. Vagus nerve chemogenetic inhibition reduced AM6545-induced mnemonic effect. Genetic CB1R deletion in dopamine β-hydroxylase-expressing cells enhanced recognition memory persistence. These observations support a role of peripheral CB1R modulating adrenergic tone relevant for cognition. Furthermore, AM6545 acutely improved brain connectivity and enhanced extracellular hippocampal norepinephrine. In agreement, intra-hippocampal β-adrenergic blockade prevented AM6545 mnemonic effects. Altogether, we disclose a novel CB1R-dependent peripheral mechanism with implications relevant for lengthening the duration of non-emotional memory.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Amitraz is one of the critical acaricides/insecticides for effective control of pest infestation of Varroa destructor mite, a devastating parasite of Apis mellifera, because of its low toxicity to honeybees. Previous assays verified that a typical G protein-coupled receptor, β-adrenergic-like octopamine receptor (Octβ2R), is the unique target of amitraz, but the honeybee Octβ2R resists to amitraz. However, the underlying molecular mechanism of the enhanced sensitivity or toxicity of amitraz to mutated honeybee Octβ2RE208V/I335T/I350V is not fully understood. Here, molecular dynamics simulations are employed to explore the implied mechanism of the enhanced sensitivity to amitraz in mutant honeybee Octβ2R. RESULTS We found that amitraz binding stabilized the structure of Octβ2R, particularly the intracellular loop 3 associated with the Octβ2R signaling. Then, it was further demonstrated that both mutations and ligand binding resulted in a more rigid and compact amitraz binding site, as well as the outward movement of the transmembrane helix 6, which was a prerequisite for G protein coupling and activation. Moreover, mutations were found to promote the binding between Octβ2R and amitraz. Finally, community analysis illuminated that mutations and amitraz strengthened the residue-residue communication within the transmembrane domain, which might facilitate the allosteric signal propagation and activation of Octβ2R. CONCLUSION Our results unveiled structural determinants of improved sensitivity in the Octβ2R-amitraz complex and may contribute to further structure-based drug design for safer and less toxic selective insecticides. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stromal interaction molecule (STIM)/Orai calcium entry system appears to have a role in erectile dysfunction (ED) pathophysiology but its specific contribution to diabetic ED was not elucidated. AIM To evaluate STIM/Orai inhibition on functional alterations associated with diabetic ED in rat and human penile tissues and on in vivo erectile responses in diabetic rats. METHODS Rat corpus cavernosum (RCC) strips from nondiabetic (No DM) and streptozotocin-induced diabetic (DM) rats and human penile resistance arteries (HPRA) and corpus cavernosum (HCC) from ED patients undergoing penile prosthesis insertion were functionally evaluated in organ chambers and wire myographs. Erectile function in vivo in rats was assessed by intracavernosal pressure (ICP) responses to cavernous nerve electrical stimulation (CNES). Expression of STIM/Orai elements in HCC was determined by immunofluorescence and immunoblot. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Functional responses in RCC, HCC and HPRA and STIM/Orai protein expression in HCC. In vivo erectile responses to CNES. RESULTS Inhibition of Orai channels with YM-58483 (20 µM) significantly reduced adrenergic contractions in RCC but more effectively in DM. Thromboxane-induced and neurogenic contractions were reduced by STIM/Orai inhibition while defective endothelial, neurogenic and PDE5 inhibitor-induced relaxations were enhanced by YM-58483 (10 µM) in RCC from DM rats. In vivo, YM-58483 caused erections and attenuated diabetes-related impairment of erectile responses. YM-58483 potentiated the effects of PDE5 inhibition. In human tissues, STIM/Orai inhibition depressed adrenergic and thromboxane-induced contractions in ED patients more effectively in those with type 2 diabetes. Diabetes was associated with increased expression of Orai1 and Orai3 in ED patients. CLINICAL TRANSLATION Targeting STIM/Orai to alleviate diabetes-related functional alterations of penile vascular tissue could improve erectile function and potentiate therapeutic effects of PDE5 inhibitors in diabetic ED. STRENGTHS AND LIMITATIONS Improving effects of STIM/Orai inhibition on diabetes-related functional impairment was evidenced in vitro and in vivo in an animal model and validated in human tissues from ED patients. Functional findings were complemented with expression results. Main limitation was low numbers of human experiments due to limited human tissue availability. CONCLUSIONS STIM/Orai inhibition alleviated alterations of functional responses in vitro and improved erectile responses in vivo in diabetic rats, potentiating the effects of PDE5 inhibition. STIM/Orai inhibition was validated as a target to modulate functional alterations of human penile vascular tissue in diabetic ED where Orai1 and Orai3 channels were upregulated. STIM/Orai inhibition could be a potential therapeutic strategy to overcome poor response to conventional ED therapy in diabetic patients. Sevilleja-Ortiz A, El Assar M, García-Gómez B, et al.

Abstract
Rapid over-activation of β-adrenergic receptors (β-AR) following acute stress initiates cardiac inflammation and injury by activating interleukin-18 (IL-18), however, the process of inflammation cascades has not been fully illustrated. The present study aimed to determine the mechanisms of cardiac inflammatory amplification following acute sympathetic activation. With bioinformatics analysis, galectin-3 was identified as a potential key downstream effector of β-AR and IL-18 activation. The serum level of galectin-3 was positively correlated with norepinephrine or IL-18 in patients with chest pain. In the heart of mice treated with β-AR agonist isoproterenol (ISO, 5 mg kg-1), galectin-3 expression was upregulated markedly later than IL-18 activation, and Nlrp3-/- and Il18-/- mice did not show ISO-induced galectin-3 upregulation. It was further revealed that cardiomyocyte-derived IL-18 induced galectin-3 expression in macrophages following ISO treatment. Moreover, galectin-3 deficiency suppressed ISO-induced cardiac inflammation and fibrosis without blocking ISO-induced IL-18 increase. Treatment with a galectin-3 inhibitor, but not a β-blocker, one day after ISO treatment effectively attenuated cardiac inflammation and injury. In conclusion, galectin-3 is upregulated to exaggerate cardiac inflammation and injury following acute β-AR activation, a galectin-3 inhibitor effectively blocks cardiac injury one day after β-AR insult.

Abstract
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), the largest family of signalling receptors, as well as important drug targets, are known to activate extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-a master regulator of cell proliferation and survival1. However, the precise mechanisms that underlie GPCR-mediated ERK activation are not clearly understood2-4. Here we investigated how spatially organized β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) signalling controls ERK. Using subcellularly targeted ERK activity biosensors5, we show that β2AR signalling induces ERK activity at endosomes, but not at the plasma membrane. This pool of ERK activity depends on active, endosome-localized Gαs and requires ligand-stimulated β2AR endocytosis. We further identify an endosomally localized non-canonical signalling axis comprising Gαs, RAF and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase, resulting in endosomal ERK activity that propagates into the nucleus. Selective inhibition of endosomal β2AR and Gαs signalling blunted nuclear ERK activity, MYC gene expression and cell proliferation. These results reveal a non-canonical mechanism for the spatial regulation of ERK through GPCR signalling and identify a functionally important endosomal signalling axis.

Abstract
Compared with younger adults, passive heating induced increases in cardiac output are attenuated by ∼50% in older adults. This attenuated response may be associated with older individuals' inability to maintain stroke volume through ionotropic mechanisms and/or through altered chronotropic mechanisms. The purpose of this study was to identify the interactive effect of age and hyperthermia on cardiac responsiveness to dobutamine-induced cardiac stimulation. Eleven young (26 ± 4 yr) and 8 older (68 ± 5 yr) participants underwent a normothermic and a hyperthermic (baseline core temperature +1.2°C) trial on the same day. In both thermal conditions, after baseline measurements, intravenous dobutamine was administered for 12 min at 5 µg/kg/min, followed by 12 min at 15 µg/kg/min. Primary measurements included echocardiography-based assessments of cardiac function, gastrointestinal and skin temperatures, heart rate, and mean arterial pressure. Heart rate responses to dobutamine were similar between groups in both thermal conditions (P > 0.05). The peak systolic mitral annular velocity (S'), i.e., an index of left ventricular longitudinal systolic function, was similar between groups for both thermal conditions at baseline. While normothermic, the increase in S' between groups was similar with dobutamine administration. However, while hyperthermic, the increase in S' was attenuated in the older participants with dobutamine (P < 0.001). Healthy, older individuals show attenuated inotropic, but maintained chronotropic responsiveness to dobutamine administration during hyperthermia. These data suggest that older individuals have a reduced capacity to increase cardiomyocyte contractility, estimated by changes in S', via β1-adrenergic mechanisms while hyperthermic.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes and obesity are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart failure. A hallmark of these dysmetabolic states is hyperinsulinemia and decreased cardiac reserve. However, the direct effects of hyperinsulinemia on myocardial function are incompletely understood. In this study, using invasive hemodynamics in mice, we studied the effects of short-term euglycemic hyperinsulinemia on basal myocardial function and subsequent responses of the myocardium to β-adrenergic stimulation. We found that cardiac function as measured by left ventricular (LV) invasive hemodynamics is not influenced by acute exposure to hyperinsulinemia, induced by an intravenous insulin injection with concurrent inotropic stimulation induced by β-adrenergic stimulation secondary to isoproterenol administration. When animals were exposed to 120-min of hyperinsulinemia by euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamps, there was a significant decrease in LV developed pressure, perhaps secondary to the systemic vasodilatory effects of insulin. Despite the baseline reduction, the contractile response to β-adrenergic stimulation remained intact in animals subject to euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamps. β-adrenergic activation of phospholamban phosphorylation was not impaired by hyperinsulinemia. These results suggest that short-term hyperinsulinemia does not impair cardiac inotropic response to β-adrenergic stimulation in vivo.

Abstract
Norepinephrine exerts powerful influences on the metabolic, neuroprotective and immunoregulatory functions of astrocytes. Until recently, all effects of norepinephrine were believed to be mediated by receptors localized exclusively to the plasma membrane. However, recent studies in cardiomyocytes have identified adrenergic receptors localized to intracellular membranes, including Golgi and inner nuclear membranes, and have shown that norepinephrine can access these receptors via transporter-mediated uptake. We recently identified a high-capacity norepinephrine transporter, organic cation transporter 3 (OCT3), densely localized to outer nuclear membranes in astrocytes, suggesting that adrenergic signaling may also occur at the inner nuclear membrane in these cells. Here, we used immunofluorescence and western blot to show that β1 -adrenergic receptors are localized to astrocyte inner nuclear membranes; that key adrenergic signaling partners are present in astrocyte nuclei; and that OCT3 and other catecholamine transporters are localized to astrocyte plasma and nuclear membranes. To test the functionality of nuclear membrane β1 -adrenergic receptors, we monitored real-time protein kinase A (PKA) activity in astrocyte nuclei using a fluorescent biosensor. Treatment of astrocytes with norepinephrine induced rapid increases in PKA activity in the nuclear compartment. Pretreatment of astrocytes with inhibitors of catecholamine uptake blocked rapid norepinephrine-induced increases in nuclear PKA activity. These studies, the first to document functional adrenergic receptors at the nuclear membrane in any central nervous system cell, reveal a novel mechanism by which norepinephrine may directly influence nuclear processes. This mechanism may contribute to previously described neuroprotective, metabolic and immunoregulatory actions of norepinephrine.

Abstract
Adipose tissue undergoes thermogenic remodeling in response to thermal stress and metabolic cues, playing a crucial role in regulating energy expenditure and metabolic homeostasis. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is associated with adipose dysfunction in obesity and metabolic disease. It remains unclear, however, if ER stress-signaling in adipocytes mechanistically mediates dysregulation of thermogenic fat. Here we show that inositol-requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α), a key ER stress sensor and signal transducer, acts in both white and beige adipocytes to impede beige fat activation. Ablation of adipocyte IRE1α promotes browning/beiging of subcutaneous white adipose tissue following cold exposure or β3-adrenergic stimulation. Loss of IRE1α alleviates diet-induced obesity and augments the anti-obesity effect of pharmacologic β3-adrenergic stimulation. Notably, IRE1α suppresses stimulated lipolysis and degrades Ppargc1a messenger RNA through its RNase activity to downregulate the thermogenic gene program. Hence, blocking IRE1α bears therapeutic potential in unlocking adipocytes' thermogenic capacity to combat obesity and metabolic disorders.

Abstract
We have recently identified a pool of intracellular β1 adrenergic receptors (β1ARs) at the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) crucial for cardiac function. Here, we aim to characterize the integrative control of intracellular catecholamine for subcellular β1AR signaling and cardiac function. Using anchored Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) biosensors and transgenic mice, we determined the regulation of compartmentalized β1AR-PKA signaling at the SR and plasma membrane (PM) microdomains by organic cation transporter 3 (OCT3) and monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A), two critical modulators of catecholamine uptake and homeostasis. Additionally, we examined local PKA substrate phosphorylation and excitation-contraction coupling in cardiomyocyte. Cardiac-specific deletion of MAO-A (MAO-A-CKO) elevates catecholamines and cAMP levels in the myocardium, baseline cardiac function, and adrenergic responses. Both MAO-A deletion and inhibitor (MAOi) selectively enhance the local β1AR-PKA activity at the SR but not PM, and augment phosphorylation of phospholamban, Ca2+ cycling, and myocyte contractile response. Overexpression of MAO-A suppresses the SR-β1AR-PKA activity and PKA phosphorylation. However, deletion or inhibition of OCT3 by corticosterone prevents the effects induced by MAOi and MAO-A deletion in cardiomyocytes. Deletion or inhibition of OCT3 also negates the effects of MAOi and MAO-A deficiency in cardiac function and adrenergic responses in vivo. Our data show that MAO-A and OCT3 act in concert to fine-tune the intracellular SR-β1AR-PKA signaling and cardiac fight-or-flight response. We reveal a drug contraindication between anti-inflammatory corticosterone and anti-depressant MAOi in modulating adrenergic regulation in the heart, providing novel perspectives of these drugs with cardiac implications.

Abstract
The current study was aimed to determine the possible effects of the central adrenergic and dopaminergic receptors in neuromedin S (NMS)-induced hypophagia in neonatal layer-type chickens. In the first experiment, control solution, and NMS (0.25, 0.5, and 1 nmol), were injected (intracerebroventricular (ICV)) in chickens. In the second experiment, birds were injected with a control solution,SCH23390 (D1receptor antagonist, 5 nmol), NMS (1 nmol), and a combination of the SCH23390 + NMS. Experiments 3-11 were similar to experiment 2, except that chickens were injected withAMI-193 (D2receptor antagonist, 5 nmol), NGB2904(D3receptor antagonist, 6.4 nmol), L-741,742(D4receptor antagonist, 6 nmol), 6-OHDA(6-hydroxydopamine, 2.5 nmol),Prazosin(α1receptor antagonist, 10 nmol),Yohimbine(α2receptor antagonist, 13 nmol),Metoprolol(β1receptor antagonist receptor, 24 nmol),ICI 118,551 (β2receptor antagonist, 5 nmol),SR 59230R (β3 receptor antagonist, 20 nmol) instead ofSCH23390. Then, cumulative food intake was recorded at 30, 60, and 120 min following the injection. According to the results, food intake was significantly decreased after ICV injection of NMS in a dose -dependent manner (P < 0.05). Also, the co-injection of the SCH23390 + NMS significantly attenuated NMS-induced hypophagia (P < 0.05). The co-administration of AMI-193 + NMS significantly reduced NMS- induced hypophagia (P < 0.05). In addition, the co-injection of ICI 118,551 + NMS and 6-OHDA + NMS considerably decreased NMS-induced food consumption (P < 0.05). However, NGB2904, L-741742, Prazosin, Yohimbine, Metoprolol and SR 59230R had no effect on hypophagia induced by NMS (P > 0.05). These results demonstrated thatNMS- induced hypophagia might be mediated by D1/D2 dopaminergic andβ2adrenergic receptors in neonatal layer-type chickens.

Abstract
White adipocyte adiponectin exocytosis is triggered by cAMP and a concomitant increase of cytosolic Ca2+ potentiates its release. White adipose tissue is richly innervated by sympathetic nerves co-releasing noradrenaline (NA) and ATP, which may act on receptors in the adipocyte plasma membrane to increase cAMP via adrenergic receptors and Ca2+ via purinergic receptors. Here we determine the importance of NA and ATP for the regulation of white adipocyte adiponectin exocytosis, at the cellular and molecular level, and we specifically detail the ATP signalling pathway. We demonstrate that tyrosine hydroxylase (enzyme involved in catecholamine synthesis) is dramatically reduced in inguinal white adipose tissue (IWAT) isolated from mice with diet-induced obesity; this is associated with diminished levels of NA in IWAT and with a reduced ratio of high-molecular-weight (HMW) to total adiponectin in serum. Adiponectin exocytosis (measured as an increase in plasma membrane capacitance and as secreted product) is triggered by NA or ATP alone in cultured and primary mouse IWAT adipocytes, and enhanced by a combination of the two secretagogues. The ATP-induced adiponectin exocytosis is largely Ca2+-dependent and activated via purinergic P2Y2 receptors (P2Y2Rs) and the Gq11/PLC pathway. Adiponectin release induced by the nucleotide is abrogated in adipocytes isolated from obese and insulin-resistant mice, and this is associated with ∼70% reduced abundance of P2Y2Rs. The NA-triggered adiponectin exocytosis is likewise abolished in "obese adipocytes", concomitant with a 50% lower gene expression of beta 3 adrenergic receptors (β3ARs). An increase in intracellular Ca2+ is not required for the NA-stimulated adiponectin secretion. Collectively, our data suggest that sympathetic innervation is a principal regulator of adiponectin exocytosis and that disruptions of this control are associated with the obesity-associated reduction of circulating levels of HMW/total adiponectin.

Abstract
Catecholamines mediate the 'fight or flight' response in a wide variety of vertebrates. The endogenous catecholamine adrenaline increases heart rate and contractile strength to raise cardiac output. The increase in contractile force is driven in large part by an increase in myocyte Ca2+ influx on the L-type Ca current (ICaL) during the cardiac action potential (AP). Here, we report a K+- based mechanism that prolongs AP duration (APD) in fish hearts following adrenergic stimulation. We show that adrenergic stimulation inhibits the delayed rectifier K+ current (IKr) in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) cardiomyocytes. This slows repolarization and prolongs APD which may contribute to positive inotropy following adrenergic stimulation in fish hearts. The endogenous ligand, adrenaline (1 μM), which activates both α- and β-ARs reduced maximal IKr tail current to 61.4 ± 3.9% of control in atrial and ventricular myocytes resulting in an APD prolongation of ~20% at both 50 and 90% repolarization. This effect was reproduced by the α-specific adrenergic agonist, phenylephrine (1 μM), but not the β-specific adrenergic agonist isoproterenol (1 μM). Adrenaline (1 μM) in the presence of β1 and β2-blockers (1 μM atenolol and 1 μM ICI-118551, respectively) also inhibited IKr. Thus, IKr suppression following α-adrenergic stimulation leads to APD prolongation in the rainbow trout heart. This is the first time this mechanism has been identified in fish and may act in unison with the well-known enhancement of ICaL following adrenergic stimulation to prolong APD and increase cardiac inotropy.

Abstract
Methylglyoxal (MG) is dicarbonyl aldehyde generated intracellularly from glucose and from some other compounds. Its increased formation is associated with several harmful consequences. In the present study, short-term effects of MG on metabolism of isolated rat adipocytes were determined. Insulin-induced lipogenesis was unchanged by MG. However, epinephrine-stimulated lipolysis was shown to be significantly reduced in adipocytes exposed to 200 µM MG. This inhibitory effect was similar in the presence of low and high concentrations of glucose, and also in the presence of alanine. However, MG failed to affect lipolysis induced by forskolin (activator of adenylate cyclase), dibutyryl-cAMP (activator of PKA) and DPCPX (adenosine A1 receptor antagonist). It was also revealed that lipolysis was unchanged by MG in fat cells pre-incubated with this compound, and then stimulated with epinephrine alone. Our results suggest that MG may impair β-adrenergic signalling in rat adipocytes due to interaction with epinephrine, and thereby disturbs lipolysis.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Herein, we summarize recent advances which provide new insights into the role of the autonomic nervous system in the control of blood flow and blood pressure during hyperinsulinemia. We also highlight remaining gaps in knowledge as it pertains to the translation of findings to relevant human chronic conditions such as obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. RECENT FINDINGS Our findings in insulin-sensitive adults show that increases in muscle sympathetic nerve activity with hyperinsulinemia do not result in greater sympathetically mediated vasoconstriction in the peripheral circulation. Both an attenuation of α-adrenergic-receptor vasoconstriction and augmented β-adrenergic vasodilation in the setting of high insulin likely explain these findings. In the absence of an increase in sympathetically mediated restraint of peripheral vasodilation during hyperinsulinemia, blood pressure is supported by increases in cardiac output in insulin-sensitive individuals. We highlight a dynamic interplay between central and peripheral mechanisms during hyperinsulinemia to increase sympathetic nervous system activity and maintain blood pressure in insulin-sensitive adults. Whether these results translate to the insulin-resistant condition and implications for long-term cardiovascular regulation warrants further exploration.

Abstract
Background: Sinoatrial node cells (SANC) automaticity is generated by functional association between the activity of plasmalemmal ion channels and local diastolic intracellular Ca2+ release (LCR) from ryanodine receptors. Strikingly, most isolated SANC exhibit a “dormant” state, whereas only a fraction shows regular firing as observed in intact SAN. Recent studies showed that β-adrenergic stimulation can initiate spontaneous firing in dormant SANC, though this mechanism is not entirely understood. Methods: To investigate the role of L-type Cav1.3 Ca2+ channels in the adrenergic regulation of automaticity in dormant SANC, we used a knock-in mouse strain in which the sensitivity of L-type Cav1.2 α1 subunits to dihydropyridines (DHPs) was inactivated (Cav1.2DHP−/−), enabling the selective pharmacological inhibition of Cav1.3 by DHPs. Results: In dormant SANC, β-adrenergic stimulation with isoproterenol (ISO) induced spontaneous action potentials (AP) and Ca2+ transients, which were completely arrested with concomitant perfusion of the DHP nifedipine. In spontaneously firing SANC at baseline, Cav1.3 inhibition completely reversed the effect of β-adrenergic stimulation on AP and the frequency of Ca2+ transients. Confocal calcium imaging of SANC showed that the β-adrenergic-induced synchronization of LCRs is regulated by the activity of Cav1.3 channels. Conclusions: Our study shows a novel role of Cav1.3 channels in initiating and maintaining automaticity in dormant SANC upon β-adrenergic stimulation.

Abstract
Each heartbeat is initiated by the action potential, an electrical signal that depolarizes the plasma membrane and activates a cycle of calcium influx via voltage-gated calcium channels, calcium release via ryanodine receptors, and calcium reuptake and efflux via calcium-ATPase pumps and sodium-calcium exchangers. Agonists of the sympathetic nervous system bind to adrenergic receptors in cardiomyocytes, which, via cascading signal transduction pathways and protein kinase A (PKA), increase the heart rate (chronotropy), the strength of myocardial contraction (inotropy), and the rate of myocardial relaxation (lusitropy). These effects correlate with increased intracellular concentration of calcium, which is required for the augmentation of cardiomyocyte contraction. Despite extensive investigations, the molecular mechanisms underlying sympathetic nervous system regulation of calcium influx in cardiomyocytes have remained elusive over the last 40 years. Recent studies have uncovered the mechanisms underlying this fundamental biologic process, namely that PKA phosphorylates a calcium channel inhibitor, Rad, thereby releasing inhibition and increasing calcium influx. Here, we describe an updated model for how signals from adrenergic agonists are transduced to stimulate calcium influx and contractility in the heart.

Abstract
The current study was conducted to investigate the interaction between the central adrenergic and histaminergic systems and the broiler chick's feed intake. In the first experiment, the intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of solutions was conducted which included 10 nmol of prazosin (an α1-receptor antagonist), 300 nmol of histamine, co-injection of prazosin and histamine. Experiments two to five were conducted similarly the same as the first experiment, in which chickens were ICV injected with 13 nmol of yohimbine (an α2-receptor antagonist), 24 nmol of metoprolol (a β1 adrenergic receptor antagonist), 5 nmol of ICI 118,551 (a β2 adrenergic receptor antagonist), and 20 nmol of SR 59230R (a β3 adrenergic receptor antagonist). The injected solutions in the sixth experiment included 300 nmol of noradrenaline, 250 nmol of α-FMH (an alpha fluoromethyl histidine), noradrenaline, and α-FMH. Seventh to ninth experiments were similar to the sixth experiment, except that the chickens were ICV injected with 300 nmol of chlorpheniramine (a histamine H1 receptors antagonist), 82 nmol of famotidine (a histamine H2 receptors antagonist), and 300 nmol of thioperamide (a histamine H3 receptors antagonist), rather than α-FMH. Afterward, the cumulative food intake was measured 120 min after injection. Based on the obtained results, both histamine ICV injection and noradrenaline injection reduced food intake (P<0.05). Moreover, co-injection of histamine and ICI 118,551 (P<0.05), and co-injection of noradrenaline and Chlorpheniramine reduced food intake (P<0.05). In addition, noradrenaline and Thioperamide co-injection improved hypophagic effect of noradrenaline in neonatal chicken (P<0.05). These findings suggested the effect of interconnection between adrenergic and histaminergic systems, which may be mediated by H1 and H3 histaminergic and β2 adrenergic receptors, on the regulation of food intake in the neonatal broiler chicken.

Abstract
AIMS Essential hypertension (EHT) is characterized by cardiovascular hyperreactivity to stress but underlying mechanism are not fully understood. Here, we investigated the role of α-adrenergic receptors (α-AR) in the cardiovascular reactivity to a norepinephrine (NE)-stress reactivity-mimicking NE-infusion in essential hypertensive individuals (HT) as compared to normotensive individuals (NT). METHODS 24 male HT and 24 male NT participated in three experimental trials on three separate days with a 1-min infusion followed by a 15-min infusion. Trials varied in infusion-substances: placebo saline (Sal)-infusions (trial-1:Sal+Sal), NE-infusion without (trial-2:Sal+NE) or with non-selective α-AR blockade by phentolamine (PHE) (trial-3:PHE+NE). NE-infusion dosage (5µg/ml/min) and duration were chosen to mimic duration and physiological effects of NE-release in reaction to established stress induction protocols. We repeatedly measured systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) as well as heart rate before, during, and after infusions. RESULTS SBP and DBP reactivity to the three infusion-trials differed between HT and NT (p's≤.014). HT exhibited greater BP reactivity to NE-infusion alone compared to NT (trial-2-vs-trial-1: p's≤.033). Group differences in DBP reactivity to NE disappeared with prior PHE blockade (trial-3: p=.26), while SBP reactivity differences remained (trial-3: p=.016). Heart rate reactivity to infusion-trials did not differ between HT and NT (p=.73). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest a mediating role of α-AR in DBP hyperreactivity to NE-infusion in EHT. However, in SBP hyperreactivity to NE-infusion in EHT, the functioning of α-AR seems impaired suggesting that the SBP hyperreactivity in hypertension is not mediated by α-AR.

Abstract
This study investigated the dependence of contraction from extracellular Ca2+, the presence of a functional sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), and the effects of β-adrenergic stimulation using isometric cardiac muscle preparations. Moreover, the expression of Ca2+-handling proteins such as SR-Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA), phospholamban (PLN), and Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) were also evaluated in the ventricular tissue of adult African sharptooth catfish, Clarias gariepinus, a facultative air-breathing fish. In summary, we observed that (1) contractility was strongly regulated by extracellular Ca2+; (2) inhibition of SR Ca2+-release by application of ryanodine reduced steady-state force production; (3) ventricular myocardium exhibited clear post-rest decay, even in the presence of ryanodine, indicating a decrease in SR Ca2+ content and NCX as the main pathway for Ca2+ extrusion; (4) a positive force-frequency relationship was observed above 60 bpm (1.0 Hz); (5) ventricular tissue was responsive to β-adrenergic stimulation, which caused significant increases in twitch force, kept a linear force-frequency relationship from 12 to 96 bpm (0.2 to Hz), and improved the cardiac pumping capacity (CPC); and (6) African catfish myocardium exhibited similar expression patterns of NCX, SERCA, and PLN, corroborating our findings that both mechanisms for Ca2+ transport across the SR and sarcolemma contribute to Ca2+ activator. In conclusion, this fish species displays great physiological plasticity of E-C coupling, able to improve the ability to maintain cardiac performance under physiological conditions to ecological and/or adverse environmental conditions, such as hypoxic air-breathing activity.

Abstract
Taste recognition memory is evident in rodents because the initial neophobia to novel tastes attenuates across exposures as the taste becomes familiar and safe. This attenuation of taste neophobia (AN) is context-dependent and an auditory background change could induce the recovery of the neophobic response. The AN auditory context-dependency requires the hippocampal integrity but the neurochemical mechanisms underlying the interaction with the taste memory circuit remain unexplored. We have applied pharmacological intervention by 6-hidroxydopamine (6-OHDA) hippocampal lesion for assessing the role of catecholamines in the hippocampal system to Wistar rats that drank a novel 3% vinegar solution for several consecutive days. Additionally, we manipulated the auditory background as a context that could either change or remain constant across all the drinking sessions. We found that a disruption of the context-dependent AN was induced by intracerebral administration of 6-OHDA targeted to the ventral CA1 hippocampus (vCA1). We conclude that the ability of the auditory context to modulate taste recognition memory involves the catecholaminergic activity in the ventral hippocampal circuit for the proper acquisition of safe taste memory.

Abstract
Norepinephrine (NE) neurons and extracellular NE exert some protective effects against a variety of insults, including methamphetamine (Meth)-induced cell damage. The intimate mechanism of protection remains difficult to be analyzed in vivo. In fact, this may occur directly on target neurons or as the indirect consequence of NE-induced alterations in the activity of trans-synaptic loops. Therefore, to elude neuronal networks, which may contribute to these effects in vivo, the present study investigates whether NE still protects when directly applied to Meth-treated PC12 cells. Meth was selected based on its detrimental effects along various specific brain areas. The study shows that NE directly protects in vitro against Meth-induced cell damage. The present study indicates that such an effect fully depends on the activation of plasma membrane β2-adrenergic receptors (ARs). Evidence indicates that β2-ARs activation restores autophagy, which is impaired by Meth administration. This occurs via restoration of the autophagy flux and, as assessed by ultrastructural morphometry, by preventing the dissipation of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) from autophagy vacuoles to the cytosol, which is produced instead during Meth toxicity. These findings may have an impact in a variety of degenerative conditions characterized by NE deficiency along with autophagy impairment.

Abstract
CONTEXT Elevating nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) levels systemically improves metabolic health, which can be accomplished via nicotinamide riboside (NR). Previously, it was demonstrated that NR supplementation in high-fat-diet (HFD)-fed mice decreased weight gain, normalized glucose metabolism, and enhanced cold tolerance. OBJECTIVE Because brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a major source of thermogenesis, we hypothesize that NR stimulates BAT in mice and humans. DESIGN AND INTERVENTION HFD-fed C56BL/6J mice were supplemented with 400 mg/kg/day NR for 4 weeks and subsequently exposed to cold. In vitro primary adipocytes derived from human BAT biopsies were pretreated with 50 µM or 500 µM NR before measuring mitochondrial uncoupling. Human volunteers (45-65 years; body mass index, 27-35 kg/m2) were supplemented with 1000 mg/day NR for 6 weeks to determine whether BAT activity increased, as measured by [18F]FDG uptake via positron emission tomography-computed tomography (randomized, double blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover study with NR supplementation). RESULTS NR supplementation in HFD-fed mice decreased adipocyte cell size in BAT. Cold exposure further decreased adipocyte cell size on top of that achieved by NR alone independent of ex vivo lipolysis. In adipocytes derived from human BAT, NR enhanced in vitro norepinephrine-stimulated mitochondrial uncoupling. However, NR supplementation in human volunteers did not alter BAT activity or cold-induced thermogenesis. CONCLUSIONS NR stimulates in vitro human BAT but not in vivo BAT in humans. Our research demonstrates the need for further translational research to better understand the differences in NAD+ metabolism in mouse and human.

Abstract
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene, is an X-linked disease affecting male and rarely adult heterozygous females, resulting in death by the late 20s to early 30s. Previous studies reported depressed left ventricular function in DMD patients which may result from deranged intracellular Ca2+ -handling. To decipher the mechanism(s) underlying the depressed LV function, we tested the hypothesis that iPSC-CMs generated from DMD patients feature blunted positive inotropic response to β-adrenergic stimulation. To test the hypothesis, [Ca2+ ]i transients and contractions were recorded from healthy and DMD-CMs. While in healthy CMs (HC) isoproterenol caused a prominent positive inotropic effect, DMD-CMs displayed a blunted inotropic response. Next, we tested the functionality of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) by measuring caffeine-induced Ca2+ release. In contrast to HC, DMD-CMs exhibited reduced caffeine-induced Ca2+ signal amplitude and recovery time. In support of the depleted SR Ca2+ stores hypothesis, in DMD-CMs the negative inotropic effects of ryanodine and cyclopiazonic acid were smaller than in HC. RNA-seq analyses demonstrated that in DMD CMs the RNA-expression levels of specific subunits of the L-type calcium channel, the β1-adrenergic receptor (ADRβ1) and adenylate cyclase were down-regulated by 3.5-, 2.8- and 3-fold, respectively, which collectively contribute to the depressed β-adrenergic responsiveness.

Abstract
A sharp increase in mitochondrial Ca2+ marks the activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis, yet the mechanisms preventing Ca2+ deleterious effects are poorly understood. Here, we show that adrenergic stimulation of BAT activates a PKA-dependent mitochondrial Ca2+ extrusion via the mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, NCLX. Adrenergic stimulation of NCLX-null brown adipocytes (BA) induces a profound mitochondrial Ca2+ overload and impaired uncoupled respiration. Core body temperature, PET imaging of glucose uptake and VO2 measurements confirm a thermogenic defect in NCLX-null mice. We show that Ca2+ overload induced by adrenergic stimulation of NCLX-null BAT, triggers the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening, leading to a remarkable mitochondrial swelling and cell death. Treatment with mPTP inhibitors rescue mitochondrial function and thermogenesis in NCLX-null BAT, while calcium overload persists. Our findings identify a key pathway through which BA evade apoptosis during adrenergic stimulation of uncoupling. NCLX deletion transforms the adrenergic pathway responsible for thermogenesis activation into a death pathway.

Abstract
The abscopal effect following ionizing radiation therapy (RT) is considered to be a rare event. This effect does occur more frequently when combined with other therapies, including immunotherapy. Here we demonstrate that the frequency of abscopal events following RT alone is highly dependent upon the degree of adrenergic stress in the tumor-bearing host. Using a combination of physiologic, pharmacologic and genetic strategies, we observe improvements in the control of both irradiated and non-irradiated distant tumors, including metastatic tumors, when adrenergic stress or signaling through β-adrenergic receptor is reduced. Further, we observe cellular and molecular evidence of improved, antigen-specific, anti-tumor immune responses which also depend upon T cell egress from draining lymph nodes. These data suggest that blockade of β2 adrenergic stress signaling could be a useful, safe, and feasible strategy to improve efficacy in cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy.

Abstract
Adipocytes within the skeleton are collectively termed bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT). BMAT contributes to peripheral and local metabolism, however, its capacity for cell-autonomous expression of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), a biomarker of beige and brown adipogenesis, remains unclear. To overcome this, Ucp1-Cre was used to drive diphtheria toxin expression in cells expressing UCP1 (Ucp1Cre+/DTA+). Despite loss of brown adipose tissue, BMAT volume was not reduced in Ucp1Cre+/DTA+ mice. Comparably, in mTmG reporter mice (Ucp1Cre+/mTmG+), Ucp1-Cre expression was absent from BMAT in young (3-weeks) and mature (16-weeks) male and female mice. Further, β3-agonist stimulation failed to induce Ucp1-Cre expression in BMAT. This demonstrates that BMAT adipocytes are not UCP1-expressing beige/brown adipocytes. Thus, to identify novel and emerging roles for BMAT adipocytes in skeletal and whole-body homeostasis, we performed gene enrichment analysis of microarray data from adipose tissues of adult rabbits. Pathway analysis revealed genetic evidence for differences in BMAT including insulin resistance, decreased fatty acid metabolism, and enhanced contributions to local processes including bone mineral density through candidate genes such as osteopontin. In sum, this supports a paradigm by which BMAT adipocytes are a unique subpopulation that is specialized to support cells within the skeletal and hematopoietic niche.

Abstract
Structural and functional diversity of peptides and GPCR result from long evolutionary processes. Even small changes in sequence can alter receptor activation, affecting therapeutic efficacy. We conducted a structure-function relationship study on the neuropeptide TLQP-21, a promising target for obesity, and its complement 3a receptor (C3aR1). After having characterized the TLQP-21/C3aR1 lipolytic mechanism, a homology modeling and molecular dynamics simulation identified the TLQP-21 binding motif and C3aR1 binding site for the human (h) and mouse (m) molecules. mTLQP-21 showed enhanced binding affinity and potency for hC3aR1 compared with hTLQP-21. Consistently, mTLQP-21, but not hTLQP-21, potentiates lipolysis in human adipocytes. These findings led us to uncover five mutations in the C3aR1 binding pocket of the rodent Murinae subfamily that are causal for enhanced calculated affinity and measured potency of TLQP-21. Identifying functionally relevant peptide/receptor co-evolution mechanisms can facilitate the development of innovative pharmacotherapies for obesity and other diseases implicating GPCRs.

Abstract
Recently, there has been a rapid increase in studies on the relationship between brain diseases and gut microbiota, and clinical evidence on gut microbial changes in Parkinson's disease (PD) has accumulated. 6-Hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a widely used neurotoxin that leads to PD pathogenesis, but whether 6-OHDA affects gut microbial environment has not been investigated. Here we performed the 16S rRNA gene sequencing to analyze the gut microbial community of mice. We found that there were no significant changes in species richness and its diversity in the 6-OHDA-lesioned mice. The relative abundance of Lactobacillus gasseri and L. reuteri probiotic species in feces of 6-OHDA-lesioned mice was significantly decreased compared with those of sham-operated mice, while the commensal bacterium Bacteroides acidifaciens in 6-OHDA-treated mice was remarkably higher than sham-operated mice. These results provide a baseline for understanding the microbial communities of 6-OHDA-induced PD model to investigate the role of gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of PD.

Abstract
This controlled laboratory study investigated the survival of Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) over a 24 hour period in four commonly drawn-up anaesthetic resuscitative drugs: suxamethonium, atropine, metaraminol and ephedrine. These drugs were prepared in typical therapeutic concentrations and then inoculated with S. epidermidis. Samples of the inoculated drug preparations were cultured on horse blood agar plates at 0, 2, 6, 12 and 24 hourly intervals and incubated for 24 hours. Colony counts were performed at the end of the incubation period. Suxamethonium, atropine and metaraminol all showed an inhibitory effect on colony counts within the first six hours. There was a more gradual decline of colony counts over a 24 hour period in the ephedrine solution. This decline was similar to that occurring in the normal saline. It is concluded that suxamethonium, atropine and metaraminol do not support the survival of the common skin contaminant, S. epidermidis over a 24 hour period.

Abstract
The review contains the data on adrenergic mechanisms of regulation of pulmonary microvessels tonicity and endothelial permeability. On smooth muscle cells of pulmonary vessels there are postsynaptic α1A-, α1B-, α1D- and α2A-, α2B-, α2C-adrenoreceptors whose activation by norepinephrine induces vasoconstriction. Excitation of β1- and β2-subtypes of adrenoreceptors leads to vasodilatation, Activation of α1-2- and β1-3-adrenoreceptors of the endothelium contributes to enhancement of nitric oxide synthesis. The resulting reaction of pulmonary microvessels in response to administration of catecholamines appears be determined by interaction of adrenergic mechanisms of regulation of tonicity of smooth muscle cells and synthesis of nitric oxide by the endothelium. Constrictor and dilator reactions of pulmonary venous vessels in response to activation of α- and β-adrenoreceptors, respectively, are more pronounced than in pulmonary arteries and make a significant contribution to the shifts of pulmonary vascular resistance. Excitation of α2- and β2-adrenoreceptors of endothelial cells of microvessels of the lungs contributes to a decrease in their permeability. In order to find out the role of adrenergic mechanisms in shifts of the capillary filtration coefficient in simulating various pathology of pulmonary circulation, it is necessary to carry out integral studies that would make it possible to evaluate alterations in macro- and microhaemodynamics of the lungs.

Abstract
The pathophysiology of visceral pain in patients with irritable bowel syndrome remains largely unknown. Our previous study showed that neonatal maternal deprivation (NMD) does not induce visceral hypersensitivity at the age of 6 weeks in rats. The aim of this study was to determine whether NMD followed by adult stress at the age of 6 weeks induces visceral pain in rats and to investigate the roles of adrenergic signaling in visceral pain. Here we showed that NMD rats exhibited visceral hypersensitivity 6 h and 24 h after the termination of adult multiple stressors (AMSs). The plasma level of norepinephrine was significantly increased in NMD rats after AMSs. Whole-cell patch-clamp recording showed that the excitability of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons from NMD rats with AMSs was remarkably increased. The expression of β2 adrenergic receptors at the protein and mRNA levels was markedly higher in NMD rats with AMSs than in rats with NMD alone. Inhibition of β2 adrenergic receptors with propranolol or butoxamine enhanced the colorectal distention threshold and application of butoxamine also reversed the enhanced hypersensitivity of DRG neurons. Overall, our data demonstrate that AMS induces visceral hypersensitivity in NMD rats, in part due to enhanced NE-β2 adrenergic signaling in DRGs.

Abstract
KEY POINTS Cav3.1 T-type Ca2+ channel current (ICa-T ) contributes to heart rate genesis but is not known to contribute to heart rate regulation by the sympathetic/β-adrenergic system (SAS). We show that the loss of Cav3.1 makes the beating rates of the heart in vivo and perfused hearts ex vivo, as well as sinoatrial node cells, less sensitive to β-adrenergic stimulation; it also renders less conduction acceleration through the atrioventricular node by β-adrenergic stimulation. Increasing Cav3.1 in cardiomyocytes has the opposite effects. ICa-T in sinoatrial nodal cells can be upregulated by β-adrenergic stimulation. The results of the present study add a new contribution to heart rate regulation by the SAS system and provide potential new mechanisms for the dysregulation of heart rate and conduction by the SAS in the heart. T-type Ca2+ channel can be a target for heart disease treatments that aim to slow down the heart rate ABSTRACT: Cav3.1 (α1G ) T-type Ca2+ channel (TTCC) is expressed in mouse sinoatrial node cells (SANCs) and atrioventricular (AV) nodal cells and contributes to heart rate (HR) genesis and AV conduction. However, its role in HR regulation and AV conduction acceleration by the β-adrenergic system (SAS) is unclear. In the present study, L- (ICa-L ) and T-type (ICa-T ) Ca2+ currents were recorded in SANCs from Cav3.1 transgenic (TG) and knockout (KO), and control mice. ICa-T was absent in KO SANCs but enhanced in TG SANCs. In anaesthetized animals, different doses of isoproterenol (ISO) were infused via the jugular vein and the HR was recorded. The EC50 of the HR response to ISO was lower in TG mice but higher in KO mice, and the maximal percentage of HR increase by ISO was greater in TG mice but less in KO mice. In Langendorff-perfused hearts, ISO increased HR and shortened PR intervals to a greater extent in TG but to a less extent in KO hearts. KO SANCs had significantly slower spontaneous beating rates than control SANCs before and after ISO; TG SANCs had similar basal beating rates as control SANCs probably as a result of decreased ICa-L but a greater response to ISO than control SANCs. ICa-T in SANCs was significantly increased by ISO. ICa-T upregulation by β-adrenergic stimulation contributes to HR and conduction regulation by the SAS. TTCC can be a target for slowing the HR.
