Abstract
Deng and colleagues highlight the importance of understanding the divergent roles of β2-adrenoceptor (β2AR) in high-fat diet-induced heart failure. β2AR signaling has beneficial and detrimental effects depending on the context and level of activation. We discuss the importance of these findings and their implications in developing effective and safe therapies.

Abstract
The autonomic nervous system has been studied for its involvement in the control of macrophages; however, the mechanisms underlying the interaction between the adrenergic receptors and alternatively activated macrophages (M2) remain obscure. Using FVB wild-type and beta 2 adrenergic receptors knockout, we found that β2-AR deficiency alleviates hepatobiliary damage in mice infected with C. sinensis. Moreover, β2-AR-deficient mice decrease the activation and infiltration of M2 macrophages and decrease the production of type 2 cytokines, which are associated with a significant decrease in liver fibrosis in infected mice. Our in vitro results on bone marrow-derived macrophages revealed that macrophages from Adrb2-/- mice significantly decrease M2 markers and the phosphorylation of ERK/mTORC1 induced by IL-4 compared to that observed in M2 macrophages from Adrb2+/+ . This study provides a better understanding of the mechanisms by which the β2-AR enhances type 2 immune response through the ERK/mTORC1 signaling pathway in macrophages and their role in liver fibrosis.

Abstract
Norepinephrine (NE) controls many vital body functions by activating adrenergic receptors (ARs). Average core body temperature (CBT) in mice is 37°C. Of note, CBT fluctuates between 36 and 38°C within 24 hours, but little is known about the effects of CBT changes on the pharmacodynamics of NE. Here, we used Peltier element-controlled incubators and challenged murine hypothalamic mHypoA -2/10 cells with temperature changes of ±1°C. We observed enhanced NE-induced activation of a cAMP-dependent luciferase reporter at 36 compared with 38°C. mRNA analysis and subtype specific antagonists revealed that NE activates β 2- and β 3-AR in mHypoA-2/10 cells. Agonist binding to the β 2-AR was temperature insensitive, but measurements of cytosolic cAMP accumulation revealed an increase in efficacy of 45% ± 27% for NE and of 62% ± 33% for the β 2-AR-selective agonist salmeterol at 36°C. When monitoring NE-promoted cAMP efflux, we observed an increase in the absolute efflux at 36°C. However, the ratio of exported to cytosolic accumulated cAMP is higher at 38°C. We also stimulated cells with NE at 37°C and measured cAMP degradation at 36 and 38°C afterward. We observed increased cAMP degradation at 38°C, indicating enhanced phosphodiesterase activity at higher temperatures. In line with these data, NE-induced activation of the thyreoliberin promoter was found to be enhanced at 36°C. Overall, we show that physiologic temperature changes fine-tune NE-induced cAMP signaling in hypothalamic cells via β 2-AR by modulating cAMP degradation and the ratio of intra- and extracellular cAMP. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Increasing cytosolic cAMP levels by activation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) such as the β 2-adrenergic receptor (AR) is essential for many body functions. Changes in core body temperature are fundamental and universal factors of mammalian life. This study provides the first data linking physiologically relevant temperature fluctuations to β 2-AR-induced cAMP signaling, highlighting a so far unappreciated role of body temperature as a modulator of the prototypic class A GPCR.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a spectrum of disorders ranging from hepatic steatosis [excessive accumulation of triglycerides (TG)] to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, which can progress to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The molecular pathogenesis of steatosis and progression to more severe NAFLD remains unclear. Obesity and aging, two principal risk factors for NAFLD, are associated with a hyperadrenergic state. β-Adrenergic responsiveness in liver increases in animal models of obesity and aging, and in both is linked to increased hepatic expression of β2-adrenergic receptors (β2-ARs). We previously showed that in aging rodents intracellular signaling from elevated hepatic levels of β2-ARs may contribute to liver steatosis. In this study we demonstrate that injection of formoterol, a highly selective β2-AR agonist, to mice acutely results in hepatic TG accumulation. Further, we have sought to define the intrahepatic mechanisms underlying β2-AR mediated steatosis by investigating changes in hepatic expression and cellular localization of enzymes, transcription factors, and coactivators involved in processes of lipid accrual and disposition-and also functional aspects thereof-in livers of formoterol-treated animals. Our results suggest that β2-AR activation by formoterol leads to increased hepatic TG synthesis and de novo lipogenesis, increased but incomplete β-oxidation of fatty acids with accumulation of potentially toxic long-chain acylcarnitine intermediates, and reduced TG secretion-all previously invoked as contributors to fatty liver disease. Experiments are ongoing to determine whether sustained activation of hepatic β2-AR signaling by formoterol might be utilized to model fatty liver changes occurring in hyperadrenergic states of obesity and aging, and thereby identify novel molecular targets for the prevention or treatment of NAFLD.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Results of our study suggest that β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) activation by agonist formoterol leads to increased hepatic TG synthesis and de novo lipogenesis, incomplete β-oxidation of fatty acids with accumulation of long-chain acylcarnitine intermediates, and reduced TG secretion. These findings may, for the first time, implicate a role for β2-AR responsive dysregulation of hepatic lipid metabolism in the pathogenetic processes underlying NAFLD in hyperadrenergic states such as obesity and aging.

Abstract
Cold- and diet-induced recruitment of brown adipose tissue (BAT) and the browning of white adipose tissue (WAT) are dynamic processes, and the recruited state attained is a state of dynamic equilibrium, demanding continuous stimulation to be maintained. An involvement of macrophages, classical proinflammatory (M1) or alternatively activated anti-inflammatory (M2), is presently discussed as being an integral part of these processes. If these macrophages play a mediatory role in the recruitment process, such an involvement would have to be maintained in the recruited state. We have, therefore, investigated whether the recruited state of these tissues is associated with macrophage accretion or attrition. We found no correlation (positive or negative) between total UCP1 mRNA levels (as a measure of recruitment) and proinflammatory macrophages in any adipose depot. We found that in young chow-fed mice, cold-induced recruitment correlated with accretion of anti-inflammatory macrophages; however, such a correlation was not seen when cold-induced recruitment was studied in diet-induced obese mice. Furthermore, the anti-inflammatory macrophage accretion was mediated via β1/β2-adrenergic receptors; yet, in their absence, and thus in the absence of macrophage accretion, recruitment proceeded normally. We thus conclude that the classical recruited state in BAT and inguinal (brite/beige) WAT is not paralleled by macrophage accretion or attrition. Our results make mediatory roles for macrophages in the recruitment process less likely.NEW & NOTEWORTHY A regulatory or mediatory role-positive or negative-for macrophages in the recruitment of brown adipose tissue is presently discussed. As the recruited state in the tissue is a dynamic process, maintenance of the recruited state would need persistent alterations in macrophage complement. Contrary to this expectation, we demonstrate here an absence of alterations in macrophage complement in thermogenically recruited brown-or brite/beige-adipose tissues. Macrophage regulation of thermogenic capacity is thus less likely.

Abstract
Obese individuals present anomalous immune/inflammatory responses with dysregulations in neuroendocrine responses and immune/stress feedback mechanisms. In this context, exercise and β2 adrenergic activation present monocyte-mediated anti-inflammatory effects that are modulated by obesity. However, these anti-inflammatory effects could immunocompromise the monocyte-mediated innate response against a pathogen challenge. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of obesity, and exercise in this condition, on the β2 adrenergic regulation of the phagocytic and microbicide capacity of circulating monocytes. C57BL/6J mice were allocated to different sedentary or exercised, lean or obese groups. Obese mice showed a lower monocyte-mediated innate response than that of lean mice. Globally, selective β2 adrenergic receptor agonist terbutaline decreased the innate response of monocytes from lean and obese sedentary animals, whereas exercise stimulated it. Exercise modulates β2 adrenergic regulation of the innate response in lean and obese animals, with a global stimulatory or neutral effect, thus abolishing the inhibitory effect of terbutaline occurring in sedentary animals. These effects cannot be explained only by changes in the surface expression of toll-like receptors. Therefore, in general, terbutaline does not hinder the effects of regular exercise, but regular exercise does abolish the effects of terbutaline in sedentary individuals.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Lippia alnifolia Mart. & Schauer, known as "alecrim-do-mato", "alecrim-de-vaqueiro" and "pedrécio", is used in folk medicine as antiseptic and to treat diseases that affect respiratory system, like bronchitis and asthma. AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of this work was to investigate the spasmolytic activity and relaxant mechanism of the Lippia alnifolia essential oil (EOLA) on isolated guinea-pig trachea and to correlate with its use in folk medicine. MATERIALS AND METHODS Leaves from L. alnifolia were collected in Pico das Almas, Chapada Diamantina, situated in the city of Rio de Contas, Bahia, Brazil. EOLA was extracted by hydrodistillation, analyzed by GC/FID and GC/MS and the volatile constituents were identified. Spasmolytic activity was assayed in isolated guinea-pig trachea pre-contracted with carbachol 1 μM or histamine 10 μM. Relaxant mechanism of EOLA was determined comparing concentration-response curves in the presence or absence of different blockers. RESULTS Chemical analysis revealed the presence of carvone (60 ± 0.8%) as major constituent. EOLA (1-243 μg/mL) relaxed isolated guinea-pig trachea pre-contracted with carbachol 1 μM [EC50 = 53.36 (44.75-63.51) μg/mL] or histamine 10 μM [EC50 = 5.42 (4.42-6.65) μg/mL]. The pre-incubation of 4-aminopyridine in histamine-induced contractions did not alter significantly the relaxant effect of EOLA. However, the presence of cesium chloride, glibenclamide, tetraethylammonium, propranolol, indomethacin, dexamethasone, hexamethonium, atropine, L-NAME, methylene blue or ODQ reduced EOLA relaxant effect. EOLA 18 μg/mL pre-incubation in calcium-free medium reduced histamine-evoked contractions, but did not alter histamine contractions in the presence of nifedipine. CONCLUSIONS Lippia alnifolia essential oil has spasmolytic activity on isolated guinea-pig trachea and its mechanism of action possibly involves the activation of multiple signal transduction pathways, which culminate in potassium channels activation and cytosolic calcium reduction.

Abstract
Medicinal plants have been identified and used as primary sources in prevention and treatment of pulmonary diseases (mainly obstructive pulmonary diseases) from ancient times due to various pharmacological activities. In this review, the stimulatory effects of extracts, some fractions and constituents of medicinal plants on β2-adrenoceptors which could be used as possible therapeutic agents in the future were reviewed. Various databases including; Medline, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Google Scholar were searched using stimulatory effect, β2-adrenoceptors, possible mechanism, tracheal smooth muscle (TSM), medicinal plants and their constituents as keywords from 1985 to 2017. All studied plants including; Nigella sativa, Rosa damascena, Thymus vulgaris, Carum copticom, Carum carvi, Zataria multiflora, Crocus sativus, Cuminum cyminum, Liomnia acidissima, Portulaca oleraceae, Satureja hortensis, Ephedra sinica and Achillea millefolium showed relaxant effect on tracheal smooth muscle with a stimulatory effect on β2-adrenoceptors mechanism. The studied plants and their constituents could be of therapeutic value in clinical practice as a bronchodilatory drug by β2-adrenoceptors stimulatory mechanism for treatment of obstructive pulmonary diseases.

Abstract
Interactions between membrane proteins are poorly understood despite their importance in cell signaling and drug development. Here, we present a co-immunoimmobilization assay (Co-II) enabling the direct observation of membrane protein interactions in single living cells that overcomes the limitations of currently prevalent proximity-based indirect methods. Using Co-II, we investigated the transient homodimerizations of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and beta-2 adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) in living cells, revealing the differential regulation of these receptors’ dimerizations by molecular conformations and microenvironment in a plasma membrane. Co-II should provide a simple, rapid, and robust platform for visualizing both weak and strong protein interactions in the plasma membrane of living cells. Protein–protein interactions govern cellular processes. The majority of these physical interactions previously identified are strong/permanent interactions, which typically remain unbroken even after purification. The weak/transient interactions between proteins have been implicated in the control of dynamic cellular process that maintain cellular homeostasis and trigger signaling cascades upon environmental changes. However, these interactions are poorly investigated, mainly due to the methodological limitations. Here, we have developed a co-immunoimmobilization assay called Co-II that enables the direct visualization of protein–protein interactions in the membrane of living cells at the single-molecule level. Co-II is based on the intuitive concept that if the protein of interest is immobilized, the interacting protein must be co-immobilized. The use of intrinsic protein diffusivity fundamentally overcomes the limitations of proximity-based methods. Using Co-II, we study the transient homodimerizations of EGFR and β2-AR in living cells, which have been implicated in several types of cancers and heart diseases. We show that the dimerization of these receptors is differently regulated by molecular conformations and the microenvironment in the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Functional pain syndromes, such as fibromyalgia and temporomandibular disorder, are associated with enhanced catecholamine tone and decreased levels of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT; an enzyme that metabolizes catecholamines). Consistent with clinical syndromes, our lab has shown that sustained 14-day delivery of the COMT inhibitor OR486 in rodents results in pain at multiple body sites and pain-related volitional behaviors. The onset of COMT-dependent functional pain is mediated by peripheral β2- and β3-adrenergic receptors (β2- and β3ARs) through the release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Here, we first sought to investigate the role of β2- and β3ARs and downstream mediators in the maintenance of persistent functional pain. We then aimed to characterize the resulting persistent inflammation in neural tissues (neuroinflammation), characterized by activated glial cells and phosphorylation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) p38 and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). Separate groups of rats were implanted with subcutaneous osmotic mini-pumps to deliver OR486 (15 mg/kg/day) or vehicle for 14 days. The β2AR antagonist ICI118551 and β3AR antagonist SR59230A were co-administrated subcutaneously with OR486 or vehicle either on day 0 or day 7. The TNFα inhibitor Etanercept, the p38 inhibitor SB203580, or the ERK inhibitor U0126 were delivered intrathecally following OR486 cessation on day 14. Behavioral responses, pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, glial cell activation, and MAPK phosphorylation were measured over the course of 35 days. Our results demonstrate that systemic delivery of OR486 leads to mechanical hypersensitivity that persists for at least 3 weeks after OR486 cessation. Corresponding increases in spinal TNFα, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels, microglia and astrocyte activation, and neuronal p38 and ERK phosphorylation were observed on days 14-35. Persistent functional pain was alleviated by systemic delivery of ICI118551 and SR59230A beginning on day 0, but not day 7, and by spinal delivery of Etanercept or SB203580 beginning on day 14. These results suggest that peripheral β2- and β3ARs drive persistent COMT-dependent functional pain via increased activation of immune cells and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which promote neuroinflammation and nociceptor activation. Thus, therapies that resolve neuroinflammation may prove useful in the management of functional pain syndromes.

Abstract
Myocardial PDE2 activity increases in terminal human heart failure and after isoprenaline infusion in rat heart. PDE2 inhibitors do not potentiate the murine sinoatrial tachycardia produced by noradrenaline. We investigated whether isoprenaline infusion induces PDE2 to decrease the chronotropic and inotropic effects of catecholamines in rat heart. Sprague-Dawley rats were infused with isoprenaline (2.4 mg kg-1 day-1) for 3 days. We used spontaneously beating right atria, paced right ventricular strips and left ventricular papillary muscles. The effects of the PDE2 inhibitors EHNA (10 μM) and Bay 60-7550 (0.1-1 μM) were investigated on the cardiostimulation produced by noradrenaline (ICI118551 50 nM present to block β2-adrenoceptors) and adrenaline (CGP20712A 300 nM present to block β1-adrenoceptors). Hydrolysis of cAMP by PDE2 was measured by radioenzyme assay. Bay 60-7550 but not EHNA increased sinoatrial beating. A stable tachycardia elicited by noradrenaline (10 nM) or adrenaline (1 μM) was not increased by the PDE2 inhibitors. Isoprenaline infusion increased the hydrolytic PDE2 activity threefold in left ventricle, reduced the chronotropic and inotropic effects and potency of noradrenaline and abolished the effects of adrenaline. The potency of the catecholamines was not increased by the PDE2 inhibitors. Neither EHNA nor Bay 60-7550 potentiated the effects of the catecholamines. Rat PDE2 decreased basal sinoatrial beating but did not reduce the sinoatrial tachycardia or increases of ventricular force mediated through β1- and β2-adrenoceptors. The β-adrenoceptor desensitization induced by the isoprenaline infusion was not reversed by the PDE2 inhibitors despite the increased hydrolysis of cAMP by PDE2.

Abstract
Acute dynamic exercise mobilizes CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to the bloodstream, potentially serving as an economical adjuvant to boost the collection of HSCs from stem cell transplant donors. The mechanisms responsible for HSC mobilization with exercise are unknown but are likely due to hemodynamic perturbations, endogenous granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), and/or β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) signaling. We characterized the temporal response of HSC mobilization and plasma G-CSF following exercise, and determined the impact of in vivo β-AR blockade on the exercise-induced mobilization of HSCs. Healthy runners (n = 15) completed, in balanced order, two single bouts of steady state treadmill running exercise at moderate (lasting 90-min) or vigorous (lasting 30-min) intensity. A separate cohort of healthy cyclists (n = 12) completed three 30-min cycling ergometer trials at vigorous intensity after ingesting: (i) 10 mg bisoprolol (β1-AR antagonist); (ii) 80 mg nadolol (β1 + β2-AR antagonist); or (iii) placebo, in balanced order with a double-blind design. Blood samples collected before, during (runners only), immediately after, and at several points during exercise recovery were used to determine circulating G-CSF levels (runners only) and enumerate CD34+ HSCs by flow cytometry (runners and cyclists). Steady state vigorous but not moderate intensity exercise mobilized HSCs, increasing the total blood CD34+ count by ∼4.15 ± 1.62 Δcells/µl (+202 ± 92%) compared to resting conditions. Plasma G-CSF increased in response to moderate but not vigorous exercise. Relative to placebo, nadolol and bisoprolol lowered exercising heart rate and blood pressure to comparable levels. The number of CD34+ HSCs increased with exercise after the placebo and bisoprolol trials, but not the nadolol trial, suggesting β2-AR signaling mediated the mobilization of CD34+ cells [Placebo: 2.10 ± 1.16 (207 ± 69.2%), Bisoprolol 1.66 ± 0.79 (+163 ± 29%), Nadolol: 0.68 ± 0.54 (+143 ± 36%) Δcells/µL]. We conclude that the mobilization of CD34+ HSCs with exercise is not dependent on circulating G-CSF and is likely due to the combined actions of β2-AR signaling and hemodynamic shear stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune cell-mediated inflammation is an essential process for mounting a repair response after myocardial infarction (MI). The sympathetic nervous system is known to regulate immune system function through β-adrenergic receptors (βARs); however, their role in regulating immune cell responses to acute cardiac injury is unknown. METHODS Wild-type (WT) mice were irradiated followed by isoform-specific βAR knockout (βARKO) or WT bone-marrow transplantation (BMT) and after full reconstitution underwent MI surgery. Survival was monitored over time, and alterations in immune cell infiltration after MI were examined through immunohistochemistry. Alterations in splenic function were identified through the investigation of altered adhesion receptor expression. RESULTS β2ARKO BMT mice displayed 100% mortality resulting from cardiac rupture within 12 days after MI compared with ≈20% mortality in WT BMT mice. β2ARKO BMT mice displayed severely reduced post-MI cardiac infiltration of leukocytes with reciprocally enhanced splenic retention of the same immune cell populations. Splenic retention of the leukocytes was associated with an increase in vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 expression, which itself was regulated via β-arrestin-dependent β2AR signaling. Furthermore, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 expression in both mouse and human macrophages was sensitive to β2AR activity, and spleens from human tissue donors treated with β-blocker showed enhanced vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 expression. The impairments in splenic retention and cardiac infiltration of leukocytes after MI were restored to WT levels via lentiviral-mediated re-expression of β2AR in β2ARKO bone marrow before transplantation, which also resulted in post-MI survival rates comparable to those in WT BMT mice. CONCLUSIONS Immune cell-expressed β2AR plays an essential role in regulating the early inflammatory repair response to acute myocardial injury by facilitating cardiac leukocyte infiltration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) BC088414 in hypoxic-ischemic injury of neural cells. METHODS Rat adrenal pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells were divided into four groups: normoxic, oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD), siRNA-normoxic (siRNA group) and siRNA-OGD (n=3 each). Cells were incubated in glucose-free and serum-free DMEM medium under the conditions of 37℃ and 1% O2+99% N2/CO2 for 6 hours to establish an in vitro hypoxic-ischemic model. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to measure mRNA expression of lncRNA BC088414, β2-adrenoceptor (Adrb2), and caspase-6 (CASP6). siRNAs were used to inhibit BC088414 expression in PC12 cells. The TUNEL method was used to measure cell apoptosis. RESULTS The OGD group had a significantly higher cell apoptotic index than the normoxic group (P<0.01). After inhibition of BC088414 expression, the OGD group had a significantly reduced apoptotic index (P<0.05). The OGD group had significantly higher mRNA expression levels of lncRNA BC088414, Adrb2, and CASP6 compared with the normoxic group (P<0.05). The siRNA -normoxic group had significantly lower mRNA expression levels of Adrb2 and CASP6 than the normoxic group (P<0.05), and the siRNA-OGD group also had significantly lower mRNA expression levels of Adrb2 and CASP6 than the OGD group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS LncRNA BC088414 may promote apoptosis through Adrb2 and CASP6 and aggravate neural cell injury induced by hypoxia-ischemia.

Abstract
Normally noradrenaline release ~30 min after training in the day-old chick is essential for memory consolidation by simultaneously increasing both glycogenolysis, by its stimulation of β2-adrenergic (AR) receptors, and glycogen synthesis, by its stimulation of α2-AR receptors in astrocytes. At the same time noradrenaline stimulation of β3-AR receptors increases glucose uptake solely in astrocytes. Intracerebral injection of small oligomeric β-amyloid protein (Aβ1-42) (Aβ) 45 min before one-trial bead discrimination learning in day-old chicks abolishes consolidation of memory 30 min post-learning. The ensuing memory loss can be rescued by injection of selective β3- and β(2-AR agonists (CL316243 and zinterol), which also have the ability to consolidate weakly-reinforced learning into long-term memory. However, although CL316243 rescues Aβ-induced memory loss over a similar time period to when it consolidates weak learning (up to 25 min post training), zinterol is effective over a more limited time period and unexpectedly it does not rescue at the time it promotes glycogenolysis. Injection of Aβ into the hippocampus and the locus coeruleus (LoC) also produces similar memory deficits and injection of both AR agonists into a cortical area can rescue memory from LoC Aβ. We have previously shown that β3-AR stimulation increases astrocytic glucose uptake and have suggested there may be sensitization or upregulation of the receptor. Since β2-AR stimulation does not rescue memory at the time it promotes glycogenolysis, but the receptor does not appear to be impaired, it is suggested that Aβ may be causing an impairment in the synthesis of readily available glycogen.

Abstract
Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is an increasingly recognized clinical syndrome characterized by acute reversible apical ventricular dysfunction, commonly preceded by exposure to severe physical or emotional stress. In this review, we give a short overview on clinical presentation and treatment of TCM and discuss the possible pathophysiological mechanisms of TCM and the role of various non-invasive imaging modalities in TCM with a focus on the potential role of (123)I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy. Currently, the dominating hypothesis on the pathophysiology of TCM postulates that high levels of the neurotransmitter epinephrine may trigger a change in intracellular signaling in ventricular myocytes. More specific, epinephrine stimulates G-protein coupled β2 adenoreceptors (β2AR) which are located on ventricular myocytes. Normal levels of this neurotransmitter predominantly stimulate the intracellular G-protein, and induce a positive inotropic effect. However, with significant increasing levels of epinephrine, the predominance of stimulation is shifted from G-stimulating to the G-inhibitor protein coupling, which leads to a negative inotropic effect. Interestingly, this negative inotropic effect is the largest in the apical myocardium where the β2AR:β1AR ratio is the highest within the heart. Echocardiography and ventriculography are essential to diagnose TCM, but new imaging tools are promising to diagnose TCM and to evaluate therapeutic efficacy. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance can be used to differentiate TCM from other myocardial diseases, such as myocarditis. (123)I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine ((123)I-MIBG) scintigraphy can be used to assess ventricular adrenergic activity and may guide optimization of individual (pharmacological) therapy. These new insights into the possible pathophysiological mechanisms and novel diagnostic imaging modalities can be used as starting point for the development of international guidelines of TCM which may increase the awareness, and optimize the treatment of TCM.

Abstract
Sympathetic signaling regulates bone resorption through receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) expression via the β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) on osteoblasts. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are known as one type of osteoclast regulatory molecule. Here we show that an antioxidant, α-lipoic acid (α-LA), treatment prevent the β-adrenergic signaling-induced bone loss by suppressing osteoclastogenesis, and sympathetic signaling directly regulates osteoclastogenesis through β2-AR expressed on osteoclasts via intracellular ROS generation. In an in vitro study, the β-AR agonist isoprenaline increased intracellular ROS generation in osteoclasts prepared from bone marrow macrophages (BBMs) and RAW 264.7 cells. Isoprenaline enhanced osteoclastogenesis through β2-AR expressed on BMMs and RAW 264.7 cells. The antioxidant α-LA inhibited isoprenaline-enhanced osteoclastogenesis. Isoprenaline increased the expression of osteoclast-related genes such as nuclear factor of activated T cells, cytoplasmic, calcineurin-dependent 1, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, and cathepsin K on osteoclasts. α-LA also inhibited isoprenaline-induced increases of these gene expressions. These in vitro results led to the hypothesis that β-adrenergic signaling directly stimulates osteoclastogenesis via ROS generation. In an in vivo study, isoprenaline treatment alone caused oxidative damage in local bone and reduced bone mass because of an increase in bone resorption, and, in α-LA-treated mice, isoprenaline did not increase tibial osteoclast number even though the RANKL-to-osteoprotegerin ratio increased. These in vitro and in vivo results indicate that β-adrenergic signaling, at least in part, directly stimulates osteoclastogenesis through β2-AR on osteoclasts via ROS generation.

Abstract
Analysis of the crystal structure of beta-2 adrenoceptors (β2ARs) is providing new insights into the functioning of this receptor and perhaps of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) as a whole. This class of receptors represents the target of at least a third of the drugs on the market and plays an essential role in the study of therapetic drug-response. Among GPCRs, the β2AR is the best understood in terms of function, expression and activation. Regarding the interaction of β2ARs with a specific ligand, polymorphisms, conformational changes and stereoselectivity are important factors. Agonist affinity for β2ARs is influenced by the polymorphisms of these receptors, which in some cases appear to affect susceptibility to disorders. Conformational changes that take place upon the approach of a given ligand, as well as the stereoselectivity of this class of receptors can modify the intrinsic activity of β2ARs (and certainly of other receptors as well). Hence, a deepening understanding of these factors can provide new data on affinity and specifically the key residues involved in recognition of β2AR agonists. The deepening the understanding of the factors involved in ligand affinity for β2ARs will assist in the development of β2AR agonists that are more selective and potent, and that have longer term action. Not only are β2AR agonists employed as therapeutic agents, but also in diagnosis. Currently, the main clinical application of targeting human β2ARs is to treat asthma with bronchodilators. However, they are also used to treat other maladies in their acute or chronic forms, including heart conditions, metabolic disorders and muscle wasting. This review shows the scope and the possible future clinical implications of data from structures of β2ARs.

Abstract
In 12 patients with myasthenia, the content of β(2)-adrenoreceptors on the cell surface and activity of intracellular lymphocytic enzymes were determined by EIA and biochemical methods, respectively. In comparison with the normal, these patients demonstrated pronounced elevation in the content of β(2)-adrenoreceptors and significant changes in activity of lymphocytic enzymes. In 10 of 12 patients, administration of the agonists to β(2)-adrenoreceptors resulted in health improvement accompanied by normalization of EMG and immunobiochemical indices. Our findings suggest that intra- and intercellular signaling pathways and their modification can serve as potential targets for the therapy.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the significance of β(2)-adrenergic receptor (β(2)AR) in age-related impaired insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis. We characterized the metabolic phenotype of β(2)AR-null C57Bl/6N mice (β(2)AR(-/-)) by performing in vivo and ex vivo experiments. In vitro assays in cultured INS-1E β-cells were carried out in order to clarify the mechanism by which β(2)AR deficiency affects glucose metabolism. Adult β(2)AR(-/-) mice featured glucose intolerance, and pancreatic islets isolated from these animals displayed impaired glucose-induced insulin release, accompanied by reduced expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)γ, pancreatic duodenal homeobox-1 (PDX-1), and GLUT2. Adenovirus-mediated gene transfer of human β(2)AR rescued these defects. Consistent effects were evoked in vitro both upon β(2)AR knockdown and pharmacologic treatment. Interestingly, with aging, wild-type (β(2)AR(+/+)) littermates developed impaired insulin secretion and glucose tolerance. Moreover, islets from 20-month-old β(2)AR(+/+) mice exhibited reduced density of β(2)AR compared with those from younger animals, paralleled by decreased levels of PPARγ, PDX-1, and GLUT2. Overexpression of β(2)AR in aged mice rescued glucose intolerance and insulin release both in vivo and ex vivo, restoring PPARγ/PDX-1/GLUT2 levels. Our data indicate that reduced β(2)AR expression contributes to the age-related decline of glucose tolerance in mice.

Abstract
Psychogenic stress in rabbits induced by fixation of the animals to a frame was accompanied by an increase in contractile activity of the duodenum. Against the background of blockade of muscarinic and nicotinic cholinergic receptors and β(1)/β(2)-adrenoceptors this increase was observed in postpyloric portion, but not in the distal third of the duodenum. The increase in contractile activity was determined by the direct effect of the hormonal stress factor on smooth muscles in the first case and by the influence of circulating catecholamines on excitatory β-adrenoceptors of cholinergic neurons of the enteral nervous system in the second.

Abstract
Bone remodeling is determined by function of two basic cell forms--bone resorbing osteoclasts and bone formation activating osteoblasts. Both cells are under control of a variety of endogenic and environmental factors, which ensure balance between bone resorption and bone formation. This article reviews the neuro-hormonal factors with osteoanabolic (central isoform of serotonin, melatonin, cannabinoids, beta 1 adrenergic system, oxytocin, ACTH and TSH) or osteocatabolic effects (neuropeptide Y, neuromedin U, beta2 adrenergic system). The dual effects of the beta-adrenergic system, serotonin and leptin are also discussed. The goal of studies focused on neuro-skeletal interaction is to synthesize new molecules, which can modify osteo-anabolic or osteo-catabolic pathways.

Abstract
The abundant beta2-adrenoceptors (AR) expression was revealed in the mouse atrial cardiomyocytes, albeit its function is poorly understood. Recently we revealed the slow developing (for 20-40 min) positive inotropic effect in the mouse atrium which was induced by the specific agonist of the beta2-adrenoceptors (5 mkM fenoterol) and the task of this study involved investigation of the found effect. It was shown that stimulation of beta2-AR is enough for rapid triggering of up-regulation of two signalling pathways that have the opposite influence on the contraction force. On one hand, activation of the adenylate cyclase--protein kinase A cascade occurs leading to increasing of intracellular Ca2+ concentration and amplitude of contraction; on the other hand, activation of the NO-synthase and enhance of NO production occurs which prevents the potentiating of the contraction force. During the first 15-20 minutes, superposition of these activation effects was revealed, which prevented the contraction strength increasing. Then the positive inotropic effects occurred due to the decreasing of NO production. It was shown that L-type Ca-channels and ryanodine receptors were the key targets incorporated in the beta2 adrenoreceptors signalling puzzle.

Abstract
Complimentary DNAs for three beta-adrenergic receptors (βARs) were isolated and characterised in the fathead minnow. The encoded proteins of 402 (β(1)AR), 397 (β(2)AR) and 434 (β(3)AR) amino acids were homologous to other vertebrate βARs, and displayed the characteristic seven transmembrane helices of G Protein-coupled receptors. Motifs and amino acids shown to be important for ligand binding were conserved in the fathead minnow receptors. Quantitative RT-PCR revealed the expression of all receptors to be highest in the heart and lowest in the ovary. However, the β(1)AR was the predominant subtype in the heart (70%), and β(3)AR the predominant subtype in the ovary (53%). In the brain, β(1)AR expression was about 200-fold higher than that of β(2)- and β(3)AR, whereas in the liver, β(2)AR expression was about 20-fold and 100-fold higher than β(3)- and β(1)AR expression, respectively. Receptor gene expression was modulated by exposure to propranolol (0.001-1mg/L) for 21 days, but not in a consistent, concentration-related manner. These results show that the fathead minnow has a beta-adrenergic receptor repertoire similar to that of mammals, with the molecular signatures required for ligand binding. An exogenous ligand, the beta-blocker propranolol, is able to alter the expression profile of these receptors, although the functional relevance of such changes remains to be determined. Characterisation of the molecular targets for beta-blockers in fish will aid informed environmental risk assessments of these drugs, which are known to be present in the aquatic environment.

Abstract
The sympathetic nervous system can regulate both osteoblast and chondrocyte growth and activity through β(2)-adrenergic receptors (β(2)-AR). We have shown previously that β(2)-AR activate both adenylyl cyclase and mitogen-activated protein kinases ERK1/2 in growth plate chondrocytes prepared from ribs of embryonic E18.5 mice. Here we examined β(2)-AR inhibition of collagen type II (Col II) expression in growth plate chondrocytes and the molecular pathways involved. Stimulation of β(2)-AR by isoproterenol inhibited Col II mRNA and protein levels by ∼50% beginning at 2 h, with both remaining suppressed over 24 h. This inhibition was blocked by propranolol and inhibitors of either MEK1 or PKA. Isoproterenol stimulated an AP-1-luciferase reporter and increased the expression of AP-1 factors c-Fos, Fra-1, Fra-2, c-Jun, and Jun-B but had no effect on Jun-D. Stimulation of AP-1 activity was blocked by inhibitors of MEK1 or PKA. siRNA inhibition of AP-1 factors showed that depletion of only Jun-B attenuated isoproterenol-mediated inhibition of Col II. Transfection with jun-B or c-fos showed selective inhibition of Col II mRNA and a Col II luciferase reporter construct by jun-B. Isoproterenol as well as jun-B overexpression in the chondrocytes also inhibited the expression of Sox-6 mRNA and protein, and depletion of Jun-B abrogated β(2)-AR inhibition of Sox-6. Collectively, these findings demonstrate regulation of chondrocyte differentiation through β(2)-AR mediated by ERK1/2 and PKA stimulation of the AP-1 factor Jun-B that inhibits the expression of Sox-6 and Col II.

Abstract
The basic mechanisms of regulation of Ca2+ influx in proliferating and differentiating myoblasts, in culture have been studied. The presence of L-type Ca2+ channels in proliferating myoblasts has been shown for the first time. The influx of Ca2+ through these channels was shown to be regulated by the adrenergic system. The influx of Ca2+ through L-type Ca2+ channels after the activation of the adrenergic system by the addition of adrenaline in comparison with the contribution of reticular stocks exhausted by ATP in calcium-free medium was estimated. It was shown that the Ca2+ influx in proliferating myoblasts is regulated by beta-2 adrenergic receptors whose action is mediated by adenylate cyclase through L-type calcium channels. In differentiating myoblasts, the Ca2+ influx on the activation of the adrenergic system was essentially lower than in proliferating cells. It was found that the maximum influx of Ca2+ may be reached by the exhaustion of reticular stocks.

Abstract
We investigated the role of common β2-adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) rs1042714 (Gln27Glu) and rs1042713 (Arg16Gly) polymorphisms on body weight and body composition response to 12-week energy-restricted diet in women. The study comprised 78 Spanish obese (BMI: 34.0 ± 2.8 kg/m²) women (age: 36.7 ± 7 years). We measured (before and after the dietary intervention) weight and height, and BMI calculated. Moreover, body fat mass and lean mass (LM) were measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. We observed an interaction effect between the Gln27Glu polymorphism and diet-induced changes on body weight (P = 0.006), BMI (P = 0.004), and LM (P = 0.001). Women carrying the Glu allele had a greater reduction in body weight than non-Glu allele carriers (9.5 ± 2.9 vs. 7.0 ± 3.5%, respectively, P = 0.002). Moreover, women with the Glu allele lost more LM than the Gln27Gln group (5.9 ± 2.7 vs. 4.0 ± 2.7%, respectively, P = 0.001). We did not find any significant interaction effect between the Arg16Gly polymorphism and diet-induced changes on the outcome variables (all P > 0.1). The results suggest that the ADRB2 Gln27Glu polymorphism has a modulating effect on diet-induced changes on body weight and body composition, and should be considered in future obesity treatments. These findings should be taken as preliminary and be replicated in further energy restriction studies with larger sample sizes.

Abstract
Bone is richly innervated with adrenergic and peptidergic nerve terminals, and these play important roles in bone remodeling. Recent study confirmed a functional nerve-osteoblastic interplay by using an in vitro co-culture model comprising mouse osteoblastic cells and neurite-spouting mouse superior cervical ganglia. This indicates that nerve-osteoblastic cell cross-talk can occur for the dynamic regulation of local bone metabolism by peripheral nervous system. This review summarized both in vivo and in vitro evidences implicating peripheral neuron action in bone metabolism.

Abstract
The present study addresses the hypothesis that adrenergic regulation modulates the effect of apoptosis. Therefore we studied, whether α1-adrenergic receptor's agonist phenylephrine (PE) can affect or induce apoptosis in rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells. We have shown that PE treatment did not increase level of the apoptosis, or level of the caspase 3 mRNA. When apoptosis was induced in the presence of PE, caspase 3 mRNA was significantly increased, while the percentage of apoptotic cells remained unchanged compared to apoptotic group without PE. During this process, α1D-, β2- and β3-adrenergic receptors (ARs) were upregulated. Since all these three types of ARs are differently localized in the cell, we assume that mutual communication of all three ARs is crucial to participate in this signaling and during development of apoptosis, some of these systems might translocate. Another important system in handling noradrenaline during apoptosis might be noradrenaline transporter (NET), since it was downregulated in apoptotic cells treated with PE, compared to untreated apoptotic cells. However, precise mechanism of mutual communication among all these systems remains to be elucidated.

Abstract
Autophagy is a physiological degradative process key to cell survival during nutrient deprivation, cell differentiation and development. It plays a major role in the turnover of damaged macromolecules and organelles, and it has been involved in the pathogenesis of different cardiovascular diseases. Activation of the adrenergic system is commonly associated with cardiac fibrosis and remodeling, and cardiac fibroblasts are key players in these processes. Whether adrenergic stimulation modulates cardiac fibroblast autophagy remains unexplored. In the present study, we aimed at this question and evaluated the effects of b(2)-adrenergic stimulation upon autophagy. Cultured adult rat cardiac fibroblasts were treated with agonists or antagonists of beta-adrenergic receptors (b-AR), and autophagy was assessed by electron microscopy, GFP-LC3 subcellular distribution, and immunowesternblot of endogenous LC3. The predominant expression of b(2)-ARs was determined and characterized by radioligand binding assays using [(3)H]dihydroalprenolol. Both, isoproterenol and norepinephrine (non-selective b-AR agonists), as well as salbutamol (selective b(2)-AR agonist) increased autophagic flux, and these effects were blocked by propanolol (b-AR antagonist), ICI-118,551 (selective b(2)-AR antagonist), 3-methyladenine but not by atenolol (selective b(1)-AR antagonist). The increase in autophagy was correlated with an enhanced degradation of collagen, and this effect was abrogated by the inhibition of autophagic flux. Overall, our data suggest that b(2)-adrenergic stimulation triggers autophagy in cardiac fibroblasts, and that this response could contribute to reduce the deleterious effects of high adrenergic stimulation upon cardiac fibrosis.

Abstract
The involvement of insulin/IGF-1 signals and leptin signals in spinal ligament cells was investigated using Zucker fatty rats (fa/fa) that carry mutation of the leptin receptor gene (fa) and monosodium glutamate-treated (MSG) rats that present obesity due to destruction of the hypothalamic ventromedial nucleus. Zucker fatty rats (ZFR) , that have a with functional abnormality of leptin receptors are a spontaneous model of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament that develops sympathetic nerve hypoactivity. (insulin/IGF-1 signals) IRS-1-positive cells, IRS-1 protein were eminent by detected in the cartilage endplate and the enthesis region in ZFR group. On the other hand, IRS-2-positive cells were slightly less in the ZFR group than in the MSG and control groups. The results suggest that IRS-1-mediated signaling for cell proliferation was enhanced in ZFR, which may explain the ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament. (Leptin signals) We investigated the effects of leptin on the spinal ligament in ZFR histopathologically and immunohistochemically. Since Ob-R does not play any role due to functional abnormality in ZFR, the direct involvement of leptin in ligament ossification may be slight in ZFR. beta(2)AR expression in the stage preceding ligament ossification was confirmed, suggesting that ossification of the spinal ligament may be inhibited by sympathetic nerve stimulation in ZFR.

Abstract
Background Evidence regarding the association of variation within ADRB2, the gene encoding the beta-adrenergic receptor 2 (ADRB2) with obesity and hypertension is exceedingly ambiguous. Despite negative reports, functional impacts of individual genetic variants have been reported. Also, functional haplotypes as well as haplotype combinations affecting expression levels in vivo of ADRB2 mRNA and protein as well as receptor sensitivity have been reported. The aim of the present study was therefore to evaluate if variations within ADRB2 as haplotypes or as haplotype combinations confer an increased prevalence of obesity and hypertension among adults. Methodology/Principal Findings We genotyped five variants required to capture common variation in a region including the ADRB2 locus in a population-based study of 6,514 unrelated, middle-aged Danes. Phases of the genotypes were estimated in silico. The variations were then investigated for their combined association with obesity, hypertension and related quantitative traits. The present study did not find consistent evidence for an association of ADRB2 variants with either obesity or hypertension when variations were analysed in a case-control study. The same lack of impact was also seen in the quantitative trait analyses, apart from nominal differences on waist-to-hip ratio and systolic blood pressure between specific haplotype combinations. Conclusions/Significance In a population-based sample of 6,514 Danes we found no consistent associations between five common variants which tag the ADRB2 locus and prevalence of obesity or hypertension neither when analysed as individual haplotypes nor as haplotype pairs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) protects hearts against ischemia by reducing infarct size. However, IPC does not preserve cardiac function, such as left ventricular peak developed pressure (LVPDP). Moreover, IPC fails to protect the post-myocardial infarct (MI) heart. DESIGN Rat hearts were transfected with beta2-adrenergic receptor (B2AR) cDNA by the hemagglutinating virus of Japan-liposome method. After the gene transfer, the hearts were perfused in a Langendorff mode and preconditioned with two cycles of 5 min of ischemia and reperfusion. After 20 min of global ischemia, the hearts were reperfused under aerobic conditions for 90 min. LVPDP was measured as an indicator of the cardiac function. RESULTS LVPDP of ischemic hearts was well preserved by the combination treatment of IPC and gene transfer of B2AR, but not IPC or gene transfer of B2AR alone. Moreover, the treatment was beneficial to even the post-MI heart. On the contrary, gene transfer of beta-adrenergic receptor kinase 1 (BARK1) reduced the protective effect of IPC. We also found that the mRNA ratio of B2AR and BARK1 was well correlated with the preservation of the LVPDP. CONCLUSIONS The combination treatment of IPC and gene transfer of B2AR protects cardiac function against ischemia and it shows the beneficial effect also in post-MI hearts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Beta(2)-adrenoceptor (beta(2)AR) desensitization is a common problem in clinical practice. beta(2)AR desensitization proceeds by at least such three mechanisms as heterologous desensitization, homologous desensitization and a kind of agonist-induced rapid phosphorylation by a variety of serine/threonine kinases. It is not clear whether there are other mechanisms. This study aimed to investigate potential mechanisms of beta(2)AR desensitization. METHODS Twenty-four BALB/c (6-8 weeks old) mice were divided into three groups, which is, group A, phosphate buffered saline (PBS)-treated; group B, ovalbumin (OVA)-induced; and group C, salbutamol-treated. Inflammatory cell counts, cytokine concentrations of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), pathological sections, total serum IgE, airway responsiveness, membrane receptor numbers and total amount of beta(2)AR were observed. Asthmatic mouse model and beta(2)AR desensitization asthmatic mouse model were established. Groups B and C were selected for two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) analysis so as to find key protein spots related to beta(2)AR desensitization. RESULTS Asthmatic mouse model and beta(2)AR desensitization asthmatic mouse model were verified by inflammatory cell count, cytokine concentration of BALF, serum IgE level, airway hyperreactivity measurement, radioligand receptor binding assay, Western blot analysis, and pathologic examination. Then the two groups (groups B and C) were subjected to 2DE. Two key protein spots associated with beta(2)AR desensitization, Rho GDP-dissociation inhibitor 2 (RhoGDI(2)) and peroxiredoxin 5, were found by comparative proteomics (2DE and mass spectrum analysis). CONCLUSION Oxidative stress and small G protein regulators may play an important role in the process of beta(2)AR desensitization.

Abstract
Tramadol, which inhibits the reuptake of noradrenaline and serotonin, is effective in animal models of depression. Its antidepressant-like effects may be mediated mainly by the noradrenergic system. This study investigated the role of the noradrenergic system in the antidepressant-like effects of tramadol and desipramine in the unpredictable chronic mild stress model. We assessed the involvement of beta-adrenoreceptors, particularly beta2-receptors in the activity of these drugs. In addition, we measured the level of noradrenaline and its metabolite 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy-phenylglycol (MHPG) in the locus coeruleus, hypothalamus, hippocampus and cerebellum in stressed mice. Unpredictable chronic mild stress induced a degradation of coat state and decreased grooming behaviour in the splash test, which was reversed by the chronic administration of tramadol (20 mg/kg) and desipramine (10 mg/kg). The nonselective beta-adrenoreceptor antagonist propranolol (5 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) and the selective beta2-receptor antagonist ICI 118,551 (2 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) reversed the antidepressant-like effects of tramadol and desipramine. Moreover, chronic tramadol and desipramine treatment increased the level of noradrenaline (NA) and MHPG in the locus coeruleus but not in the cerebellum, whereas only MHPG level was increased in the hypothalamus. Tramadol, however, increased the levels of MHPG and NA in the hippocampus, whereas desipramine only increased NA level. These data support the view that the noradrenergic system plays an important role in the antidepressant-like action of tramadol.

Abstract
Beta2 adrenergic receptors were identified in keratinocytes more than 30 years ago, but their function in the epidermis continues to be elucidated. Abnormalities in their expression, signaling pathway, or in the generation of endogenous catecholamine agonists by keratinocytes have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cutaneous diseases such as atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, and psoriasis. New studies also indicate that the beta2AR also modulates keratinocyte migration, and thus can function to regulate wound reepithelialization. This review focuses on the function of these receptors in keratinocytes and their contribution to cutaneous physiology and disease.

Abstract
To specify the role of adrenoceptors in mediating adrenergic functions after adaptation of humans to cold, effect of administration of increasing concentrations of beta1 and beta2 adrenomimetics (Dobutamine, Bricanyl) on resting metabolic rate, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, rectal and skin temperatures of control humans and of cold adapted winter swimmers was studied. Increase in metabolic rate, mediated by beta1 and beta2 adrenomimetics, was attenuated after cold adaptation, indicating downregulation of beta1 and beta2 adrenoceptors. Since cold adapted humans have greater capacity of nonshivering thermogenesis, than that mediated by both beta1 and beta2 adrenoceptors, the role of other subtypes of adrenoceptors in mediating nonshivering thermogenesis is anticipated. Heart rate increased after administration of the beta2 agonist, but was not influenced by the beta1 agonist. The significance of beta2 adrenoceptors in mediating heart rate was depressed after cold adaptation. Data indicate that modifications of activity of beta adrenoceptors play crucial role in mechanisms responsible for adaptation of humans to cold.

Abstract
Differences in energy metabolism during beta(1)- and beta(2)-adrenergic receptor (AR) stimulation have been shown to translate to differences in the elicited functional responses. It has been suggested that differential access to glycogen during beta(1)- compared with beta(2)-AR stimulation may influence the peak functional response and modulation of the response during sustained adrenergic stimulation. Interleaved (13)C- and (31)P-NMR spectroscopy was used during beta(1)- and beta(2)-AR stimulation at matched peak workload (2.5 times baseline) in the isolated perfused rat heart to monitor glycogen levels, phosphorylation potential, and intracellular pH. Simultaneous measurements of left ventricular (LV) function [LV developed pressure (LVDP)], heart rate (HR), and rate-pressure product (RPP = LVDP x HR) were also performed. The heart was perfused under both substrate-free (SF) conditions and with exogenous glucose (G). The greater glycogenolysis was observed during beta(1)- than beta(2)-AR stimulation with G (54% vs. 38% reduction, P = 0.006) and SF (92% vs. 79% reduction, P = 0.04) perfusions. The greater beta(1)-AR-mediated glycogenolysis was correlated with greater ability to sustain the initial contractile response. However, with SF perfusion, the duration of this ability was limited: excessive early glycogen depletion caused an earlier decline in LVDP and phosphorylation potential during beta(1)- than beta(2)-AR stimulation. Therefore, endogenous glycogen stores are depleted earlier and to a greater extent, despite a slightly weaker overall inotropic response, during beta(1)- than beta(2)-AR stimulation. These findings are consistent with beta(1)-AR-specific PKA-dependent glycogen phosphorylase kinase signaling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Beta2-Adrenergic agonists are the most potent agents clinically used in inhibiting and preventing the immediate response to bronchoconstricting agents and in inhibiting mast cell mediator release. This raises the possibility that an abnormality in beta-adrenergic receptor function or circulating catecholamine levels could contribute to airway hyperresponsiveness. OBJECTIVE To link interleukin 13 (IL-13) to the pathogenesis of asthma. METHODS Almost 4 decades ago, Andor Szentivanyi published a beta-adrenergic theory of atopic abnormality in bronchial asthma. He proposed 9 characteristics to define bronchial asthma. Because he published these 9 tenets of the beta-adrenergic blockade theory of asthma in 1968, it is appropriate and important to evaluate their relevance in light of advances in pharmacology, inflammation, and immunology. RESULTS We describe the effects of the allergic reaction on beta-adrenergic responses and airway responsiveness. Both IL-1beta and tumor necrosis factor a have been detected in increased amounts in bronchial lavage fluids in allergic airway inflammation. Both IL-13 and the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1beta and tumor necrosis factor a have been demonstrated in airway smooth muscle to cause a decreased relaxation response to beta-adrenergic agonist. However, IL-13 has been shown to be necessary and sufficient to produce the characteristics of asthma. CONCLUSION The decreased adrenergic bronchodilator activity and associated hypersensitivity to mediators put forth by Szentivanyi can be elicited with IL-13 and support its role in the pathogenesis of asthma.

Abstract
Mast cells play a significant role in the pathophysiology of many diverse diseases such as asthma and pulmonary fibrosis. Ca2+ influx is essential for mast cell degranulation and release of proinflammatory mediators, while Mg2+ plays an important role in cellular homeostasis. The channels supporting divalent cation influx in human mast cells have not been identified, but candidate channels include the transient receptor potential melastatin (TRPM) family. In this study, we have investigated TRPM7 expression and function in primary human lung mast cells (HLMCs) and in the human mast cell lines LAD2 and HMC-1, using RT-PCR, patch clamp electrophysiology, and RNA interference. Whole cell voltage-clamp recordings revealed a nonselective cation current that activated spontaneously following loss of intracellular Mg2+. The current had a nonlinear current-voltage relationship with the characteristic steep outward rectification associated with TRPM7 channels. Reducing external divalent concentration from 3 to 0.3 mM dramatically increased the size of the outward current, whereas the current was markedly inhibited by elevated intracellular Mg2+ (6 mM). Ion substitution experiments revealed cation selectivity and Ca2+ permeability. RT-PCR confirmed the presence of mRNA for TRPM7 in HLMC, LAD2, and HMC-1 cells. Adenoviral-mediated knockdown of TRPM7 in HLMC with short hairpin RNA and in HMC-1 with short interfering RNA markedly reduced TRPM7 currents and induced cell death, an effect that was not rescued by raising extracellular Mg2+. In summary, HLMC and human mast cell lines express the nonselective cation channel TRPM7 whose presence is essential for cell survival.

Abstract
The Polycomb group (PcG) protein EZH2 possesses oncogenic properties for which the underlying mechanism is unclear. We integrated in vitro cell line, in vivo tumor profiling, and genome-wide location data to nominate key targets of EZH2. One of the candidates identified was ADRB2 (Adrenergic Receptor, Beta-2), a critical mediator of beta-adrenergic signaling. EZH2 is recruited to the ADRB2 promoter and represses ADRB2 expression. ADRB2 inhibition confers cell invasion and transforms benign prostate epithelial cells, whereas ADRB2 overexpression counteracts EZH2-mediated oncogenesis. ADRB2 is underexpressed in metastatic prostate cancer, and clinically localized tumors that express lower levels of ADRB2 exhibit a poor prognosis. Taken together, we demonstrate the power of integrating multiple diverse genomic data to decipher targets of disease-related genes.

Abstract
1. In atrium and ventricle from failing and non-failing human hearts, activation of beta(1)- or beta(2)-adrenoceptors causes increases in contractile force, hastening of relaxation, protein kinase A-catalysed phosphorylation of proteins implicated in the hastening of relaxation, phospholamban, troponin I and C-protein, consistent with coupling of both beta(1)- and beta(2)-adrenoceptors to stimulatory G(salpha)-protein but not inhibitory G(ialpha)-protein. 2. Two 'affinity states', namely beta(1H) and beta(1L), of the beta(1)-adrenoceptor exist. In human heart, noradrenaline elicits powerful increases in contractile force and hastening of relaxation. These effects are blocked with high affinity by beta-adenoceptor antagonists, including propranolol, (-)-pindolol, (-)-CGP 12177 and carvedilol. Some beta-blockers, typified by (-)-pindolol and (-)-CGP 12177, not only block the receptor, but also activate it, albeit at much higher concentrations (approximately 2 log units) than those required to antagonize the effects of catecholamines. In human heart, both (-)-CGP 12177 and (-)-pindolol increase contractile force and hasten relaxation. However, the involvement of the beta(1)-adrenoceptor was not immediately obvious because (-)-pindolol- and (-)-CGP 12177-evoked responses were relatively resistant to blockade by (-)-propranolol. Abrogation of cardiostimulant effects of (-)-CGP 12177 in beta(1)-/beta(2)-adrenoceptor double-knockout mice, but not beta(2)-adrenoceptor-knockout mice, revealed an obligatory role of the beta(1)-adrenoceptor. On the basis of these results, two 'affinity states' have been designated, the beta(1H)- and beta(1L)-adrenoceptor, where the beta(1H)-adrenoceptor is activated by noradrenaline and blocked with high affinity by beta-blockers and the beta(1L)-adrenoceptor is activated by drugs such as (-)-CGP 12177 and (-)-pindolol and blocked with low affinity by beta-blockers such as (-)-propranolol. The beta(1H)- and beta(1L)-adrenoceptor states are consistent with high- and low-affinity binding sites for (-)-[(3)H]-CGP 12177 radioligand binding found in cardiac muscle and recombinant beta(1)-adrenoceptors. 3. There are two common polymorphic locations of the beta(1)-adrenoceptor, at amino acids 49 (Ser/Gly) and 389 (Arg/Gly). Their existence has raised several questions, including their role in determining the effectiveness of heart failure treatment with beta-blockers. We have investigated the effect of long-term maximally tolerated carvedilol administration (> 1 year) on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy (mean left ventricular ejection fraction 23 +/- 7%; n = 135 patients). The administration of carvedilol improved LVEF to 37 +/- 13% (P < 0.005); however, the improvement was variable, with 32% of patients showing pound 5% improvement. Upon segregation of patients into Arg389Gly-beta(1)-adrenoceptors, it was found that carvedilol caused a greater increase in left ventricular ejection faction in patients carrying the Arg389 allele with Arg389Arg > Arg389Gly > Gly389Gly.

Abstract
Recent evidence supports a role for beta(3)-adrenoceptors in human non-pregnant and pregnant myometrium. The present study was designed to characterize the pharmacology of beta-adrenoceptors involved in the function of non-pregnant rat myometrium by comparison of the activity of several beta-adrenoceptor agonists and antagonists in isolated rat uterus and urinary bladder. Contractions of myometrial and detrusor strips were induced by adding 1 nM oxytocin and 15 mM KCl respectively. Cumulative concentration-response curves to the selective beta(3)-adrenoceptor agonists, CL 316243 and BRL 37344 and the selective beta(2)-adrenoceptor agonist ritodrine were obtained in the presence and absence of the selective beta(2)-adrenoceptor antagonist ICI 118551 and the non-selective beta-adrenoceptor antagonist bupranolol. Both BRL 37344 (pD(2)=6.79+/-0.09) and ritodrine (pD(2)=6.89+/-0.19) produced potent inhibition of oxytocin-induced contractions in myometrial strips; CL 316243 was inactive at concentrations up to 10 microM. Concentration effect curves to both BRL 37344 and ritodrine were shifted (10 to 30-fold) to the right in the presence of ICI 118551 (10 nM). BRL 37344 (pD(2)=8.51+/-0.21) and CL 316243 (pD(2)=8.61+/-0.24) produced potent inhibition of detrusor strips, while ritodrine was almost 100-fold less potent (pD(2)=5.83+/-0.17). The response to all agonists was significantly attenuated by pretreatment with bupranolol (10 microM), but only ritodrine was affected by ICI 118551 (1 microM). These results demonstrate that relaxation of rat myometrium is mediated by beta(2)-adrenoceptors while, consistent with previous reports, the beta(3)-subtype is primarily responsible for relaxation of rat detrusor.
