    Abstractβ 3 -adrenergic receptor (β 3 -AR) has been proposed as a new therapy for several myocardial diseases. However, the effect of β 3 -AR activation on sepsis-induced myocardial apoptosis is unclear. Here, we investigated the effect of β 3 -AR activation on the cardiomyocyte apoptosis and cardiac dysfunction in cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-operated rats and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated cardiomyocytes. We found that β 3 -AR existed both in adult rat ventricular myocytes (ARVMs) and H9c2 cells. The expression of β 3 -AR was upregulated in LPS-treated ARVMs and the heart of CLP rats. Pretreatment with β 3 -AR agonist, BRL37344, inhibited LPS-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis and caspase-3, -8, and -9 activation in ARVMs. BRL37344 also reduced apoptosis and increased the protein levels of PI3K, p-Akt Ser473 and p-eNOS Ser1177 in LPS-treated H9c2 cells. Inhibition of PI3K using LY294002 abolished the inhibitory effect of BRL37344 on LPS-induced caspase-3, -8, and -9 activation in H9c2 cells. Furthermore, administration of β 3 -AR antagonist, SR59230A (5 mg/kg), significantly decreased the maximum rate of left ventricular pressure rise (+dP/dt) in CLP-induced septic rats. SR59230A not only increased myocardial apoptosis, reduced p-Akt Ser473 and Bcl-2 contents, but also increased mitochondrial Bax, cytoplasm cytochrome c, cleaved caspase-9, and cleaved caspase-3 levels of the myocardium in septic rats. These results suggest that endogenous β 3 -AR activation alleviates sepsis-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis via PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and maintains intrinsic myocardial systolic function in sepsis.Copyright © 2024 by the Shock Society.
