| Abstract | PURPOSE: In recent years several reports have suggested involvement of interleukin 6 (IL-6) in beta-adrenergic effects on myocardium, particularly in enhancement of STAT3 phosphorylation (downstream signal transducer of IL-6). Here we present a study of isoproterenol effects on hearts of IL-6 deficient mice. METHODS: Male 12 week old C57Bl6/J mice and age and sex matched mice from IL-6 knockout strain (C57Bl6/J(IL6-/-)) received a single intraperitoneal bolus of either isoproterenol (15 mg/kg) or placebo (0.9% NaCl) and were sacrificed after 1 or 24 hours (n=8 in each group). Another group of mice from both genotypes received a three-day isoproterenol treatment (20 mg/kg every 8h). Activation of STAT3 and MEK/ERK pathways were assessed after a single dose of isoproterenol by means of western blotting. RESULTS: After injection of placebo a significantly lower level of STAT3 phosphorylation was observed in IL-6 KO animals. This difference was abolished after isoproterenol both at 1 and 24-hour time points. Isoproterenol produced potent and rapid activation of both STAT3 and MEK/ERK pathways that returned to the levels of placebo treated controls after 24 hours. Lack of IL-6 did not affect phosphorylation of ERKs. Three-day treatment with isoproterenol caused significant increase of indices of RV and LV hypertrophy in both WT and IL-6 KO animals with no significant differences between genotypes. CONCLUSION: IL-6 is not necessary for isoproterenol induced STAT3 phosphorylation, but may affect activation of this pathway by mild non-specific stimuli. Lack of IL-6 does not affect activation of MEK/ERK pathway nor cardiac hypertrophy by beta-adrenergic agonists. |

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.
