RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effects of kappa-opioid receptor stimulation on high glucose induced myocardial hypertrophy of neonatal rats.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Using cultured myocardial cells as a model, the protein content was assayed with Lowrys method. The cardiomyocytes volumes were measured by computer photograph analysis system. The level of p-ERK44/42 was determined by Western blot.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with the control, U50488H significantly inhibited the protein content and volumes of cultured hypertrophic myocardial cells induced by high glucose. Meanwhile the role of ERK was important.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The stimulation of kappa-opioid can inhibit myocardial hypertrophy induced by high glucose, which is possibly via attenuating p-ERK.</p>

Objective To demonstrate the inhibitory effect of adenosine A_1 receptor agonist R(-)-N6-(2-phe- nylisopropyl) adenosine (R-HA) and cross-talk between adenosine A_1 receptor and CaMKII on Isoproterenol (Iso)- induced hypertrophy in cultured myocardial cells in neonatal rats.Methods The protein synthesis was determined by incorporation of [~3H]-leucine into myocyte protein.The expression of CaMK Ⅱ ? B was determined by Western- blot.The [Ca~(2+)]i transient was measured in myocytes loaded with fura-2 by the spectrofluorometric method. Results R-PIA (1?mol/L) inhibited Iso(10 ?mol/L)-induced increase of [~3 H-]-leucine incorporation [(R-PIA: 974.8?58.6) vs (Iso:1220.8?240.5) count per min per well,P
