Both oxidative stress and β-MHC expression are associated with pathological cardiac hypertrophy. β-adrenergic receptor stimulation plays an important role in cardiac hypertrophy. Recent studies have reported a negative interplay between opioid receptors and adrenoceptors in heart. This study investigated the effect of U50,488H (a selective κ-opioid receptor agonist) on myocardial oxidative stress and α- and β-MHC expression in isoproterenol-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Male Wistar rats were administered normal saline (control), isoproterenol (ISO) (5 mg/kg BW s.c. OD), and isoproterenol with U50,488H (0.4 and 0.6 mg/kg BW, i.p. OD) for 14 days. In a separate group, nor-binaltorphimine (nor-BNI) (0.5 mg/kg, BW, i.p.) (κ-receptor antagonist) was administered along with ISO and U50,488H. ISO administration caused significant increase in left ventricular (LV) wall thicknesses, LV mass in echocardiography, heart weight to body weight ratio, and myocyte size as compared to control. Both the doses of U50,488H offered significant protection against these changes. The higher dose of U50,488H significantly prevented ISO-induced increase in myocardial lipid peroxidation and depletion of myocardial antioxidants (glutathione, superoxide dismutase, and catalase), while a similar trend (although not significant) was observed with the lower dose also. ISO-induced myocardial fibrosis was also significantly attenuated by both the doses of U50,488H. Isoproterenol-induced β-MHC expression in the hypertrophied heart was not altered by either doses of U50,488H, however, the latter prevented the loss of myocardial α-MHC expression. All these effects of U50,488H were blocked by nor-BNI. This study provides the evidence that U50,488H reduced oxidative stress and preserved expression of α-MHC in isoproterenol-induced cardiac hypertrophy. |
