title: [Isoproterenol-induced activation of MAPK, NFkappaB and JAK/STAT pathway in mouse myocardium].
abstract: This study was aimed to determine the in vivo signal transduction pathway responsible for isoproterenol (ISO)-induced cardiac hypertrophy or remodeling. Mice were treated with ISO (15 mg/kg body weight) or vehicle by intraperitoneal injection (i.p.). Activation of mitogen-activted protein kinase (MAPK), NF-kappaB and JAK/STAT pathway in the left ventricular myocardium was measured by Western blot analysis. ISO significantly activated MAPK (ERK1/2 and p38) at early phase (5 min); biphasic activation of NF-kappaB was observed in our in vivo study; and ISO caused a delayed STAT3 activation (at 60 to 240 min) in mouse myocardium. Taken together, these results indicate that ISO activates these signal transduction pathways in different time course.
