    Abstract:
    It is well known that the two chemical compounds endothelin-1 (ET-1) and isoproterenol (ISO) can individually induce cardiac hypertrophy through G protein-coupled receptors in cardiomyocytes. However, the cardiac hypertrophy signaling pathway activated by ET-1 and ISO is not well defined. Therefore, we investigated the protein expression profile and signaling transduction in HL-l cardiomyocyte cells treated with ET-1 and ISO. Following separation of the cell lysates by using 2-DE and silver staining, we identified 16 protein spots that were differentially expressed as compared to the controls. Of these 16 spots, three changed only after treatment with ET-1, whereas four changed only after treatment with ISO, suggesting that these two stimuli could induce different signaling pathways. In order to reveal the differences between ET-1- and ISO-induced signaling, we studied the different events that occur at each step of the signaling pathways, when selected biocomponents were blocked by inhibitors. Our results indicated that ET-1 and ISO used different pathways for phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β). ET-1 mainly used the mitogen-activated protein kinase and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/AKT pathways to activate GSK3β, whereas under ISO stimulation, only the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/AKT pathway was required to trigger the GSK3β pathway. Furthermore, the strength of the GSK3β signal in ISO-induced cardiac hypertrophy was stronger than that in ET-1-induced cardiac hypertrophy. We found that these two agonists brought about different changes in the protein expression of HL-1 cardiomyocytes through distinct signaling pathways even though the destination of the two signaling pathways was the same.
