The present study investigated the secretion level and gene expression
of adrenomedullin (AM), a novel vasorelaxant peptide, in cultured
neonatal rat cardiac myocytes and nonmyocytes, and the effects of
interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß) and tumor necrosis factor-
(TNF
) on
its production and secretion in these cells. Under serum-free
conditions, both myocytes and nonmyocytes secreted immunoreactive (ir-)
AM into the culture medium in a time-dependent manner. The secretion
rates of ir-AM from myocytes and nonmyocytes per 105 cells
were almost equivalent. The expression of AM messenger RNA was also
observed in cultured myocytes and nonmyocytes. The peptide secretion
and messenger RNA level of AM in cardiac myocytes were increased after
stimulation with IL-1ß. In nonmyocytes, IL-1ß and TNF
remarkably
augmented both the release of ir-AM into the medium and AM gene
expression after 24 and 48 h of incubation. These observations
indicate that cardiac ventricular cells (i.e. myocytes
and nonmyocytes) actively produce AM and also suggest that cytokines
such as IL-1ß and TNF
regulate the gene expression and secretion
of this peptide in the ventricles. On the basis of these results and
the findings that IL-1ß and TNF
are involved in heart failure and
cardiac hypertrophy, AM may play a role as an autocrine/paracrine
modulator in some cardiac disorders.
