?2 adrenergic activation induces the expression of IL-18 binding protein, a potent inhibitor of isoproterenol induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in vitro and myocardial hypertrophy in vivo.


ABSTRACT: Both the sympathetic nervous system and the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-18 (IL-18) play key roles in the pathophysiology of the hypertrophied failing heart. IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP), a natural inhibitor of IL-18, counters its biological effects. ?-AR stimulation induces IL-18 expression, but whether it also regulates IL-18BP is not known. Here we demonstrate that the ?-AR agonist isoproterenol (ISO) increases steady state IL-18BP mRNA and protein levels in adult mouse cardiomyocytes in a ?(2)-AR-dependent manner. We cloned mouse Il18bp 5'cis-regulatory region, and identified putative CREB and C/EBP? transcription factor-binding sites. Forced expression of mutant CREB or C/EBP? knockdown markedly attenuated ISO-induced Il18bp transcription and deletion or mutation of CREB and C/EBP motifs in the Il18bp promoter reduced ISO-induced promoter-reporter gene activity. ISO induced CREB and C/EBP? activation in cardiomyocytes via PI3K/Akt and ERK1/2. Importantly, ISO-induced hypertrophy in vitro was dependent on IL-18 induction as it was blunted by IL-18 neutralizing antibodies and forced expression of IL-18BP. Moreover, ISO-induced hypertrophy was markedly attenuated in IL-18 null and IL-18BP transgenic mice. These data support the novel concept that ?-AR activation, in addition to inducing cardiomyocyte hypertrophy via IL-18, concomitantly induces a countering effect by stimulating IL-18BP expression, and that ISO-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy may result from a net effect of IL-18 and IL-18BP induction.
