| Abstract | We previously reported that short-term (2 h) plating of cat atrial myocytes on the extracellular matrix protein, laminin (LMN) decreases adenylate cyclase activity and β1-adrenergic receptor (β1-AR) stimulation of L-type Ca2+ current (I Ca,L). The present study sought to determine whether LMN-mediated down-regulation of β1 signalling is due to down-regulation of adenylate cyclase and to gain insight into the signalling mechanisms responsible. β1-AR stimulation was achieved by 0.01 μm isoproterenol (isoprenaline) plus 0.1 μm ICI 118551, a selective β2-AR antagonist. Atrial myocytes were plated for at least 2 h on uncoated cover-slips (−LMN) or cover-slips coated with LMN (+LMN). As previously reported, β1-AR stimulation of I Ca,L was significantly smaller in +LMN compared to −LMN atrial myocytes. In −LMN myocytes, 10 μm LY294002 (LY), a specific inhibitor of PI-(3)K, had no effect on β1-AR stimulation of I Ca,L. In +LMN myocytes, however, LY significantly increased β1-AR stimulation of I Ca,L. Western blots revealed that compared with −LMN myocytes, +LMN myocytes showed a significant increase in Akt phosphorylation at Ser-473, which was prevented by LY. In another approach, +LMN myocytes were infected (multiplicity of infection (MOI), 100; 24 h) with replication-defective adenoviruses (Adv) expressing dominant-negative inhibitors of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) (Adv-FRNK or Adv-Y397F-FAK) or Akt (Adv-dnAkt). Compared with control cells infected with Adv-β-galactosidase, cells infected with Adv-FRNK, Adv-Y397F-FAK or Adv-dnAkt each exhibited a significantly greater β1-AR stimulation of I Ca,L. In −LMN myocytes LY had no effect on forskolin (FSK)-stimulated I Ca,L. However, in +LMN myocytes LY significantly increased FSK-stimulated I Ca,L. Similar results were obtained in +LMN atrial myocytes infected with Adv-FRNK. We conclude that LMN binding to β1-integrin receptors acts via FAK/PI-(3)K/Akt to inhibit adenylate cyclase activity and thereby down-regulates β1-AR-mediated stimulation of I Ca,L. These findings provide new insight into the cellular mechanisms by which the extracellular matrix can modulate atrial β-AR signalling. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
