| Popis: | Left ventricular infarction (AMI) was produced in experimental animals and the contractile response to beta-adrenergic and H2-histaminergic stimulation by isoproterenol and impromidine tested in the isolated perfused heart preparation. Adenylate cyclase activity as well as binding characteristics of [3H]-dihydroalprenolol ([3H]-DHA), [3H]-methyl-tiotidine ([3H]-TIOT) and [3H]-quinuclidinyl benzilate ([3H]-QNB) to cardiac beta 1-, H2- and cholinergic muscarinic receptors were determined in sarcolemmal membrane preparations of the right ventricle of the same hearts. In addition, an attempt was made to elucidate the therapeutic value of post-AMI treatment with impromidine in the presence and absence of beta-blockade, in contrast to administration of prenalterol and the conventional therapy with beta-sympathomimetic drugs, e.g. dobutamine. Three days post-AMI the dose-response curve for isoproterenol of right ventricular dP/dtmax was significantly depressed, while the inotropic effect of impromidine was not impaired. Stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity by isoproterenol was reduced by 80% whereas impromidine and NaF stimulation rates were unaltered. Receptor-binding studies indicated a 90% loss and 10-times lowered affinity (KD) of the remaining beta-receptors while specific [3H]-TIOT- and [3H]-QNB-binding was unchanged. Administration of dobutamine increased mortality rates and extension of infarct size, led to a further decrease in contractile response to isoproterenol, induced complete insensitivity of adenylate cyclase to isoproterenol stimulation and caused pronounced additional reduction of number and affinity of [3H]-DHA-binding sites. In contrast, all above alterations were prevented by treatment with either prenalterol or combined administration of impromidine plus metoprolol. It is concluded, that these alterations in the non-ischemic, uninvolved myocardium post-AMI are the result of catecholamine-induced specific damage of sarcolemmal beta-receptors. Furthermore, treatment with H2-agonists in combination with beta-blocking agents may have beneficial effects, whereas conventional therapy with beta-sympathomimetic drugs tends to worsen the already depressed function of the beta-adrenergic stimulation mechanism. |
