Urocortin (UCN) is a peptide related to
hypothalamic corticotrophin-releasing hormone and binds with high
affinity to corticotrophin-releasing hormone receptor-2 , which is
expressed in the heart. In this study, we report that UCN prevented
cell death when administered to primary cardiac myocyte cultures both
prior to simulated hypoxia/ischemia and at the point of reoxygenation
after simulated hypoxia/ischemia. UCN-mediated cell survival was
measured by trypan blue exclusion, 3'-OH end labeling of DNA (TUNEL),
annexin V, and fluorescence-activated cell sorting. To explore the
mechanisms that could be responsible for this effect, we investigated
the involvement of MAPK-dependent pathways. UCN caused
rapid phosphorylation of ERK1/2-p42/44, and PD98059, which blocks the
MEK1-ERK1/2-p42/44 cascade, also inhibited the survival-promoting
effect of UCN. Most important, UCN reduced damage in isolated rat
hearts ex vivo subjected to regional ischemia/reperfusion, with the protective effect being observed when UCN was given either prior to ischemia or at the time of reperfusion after ischemia. This
suggests a novel function of UCN as a cardioprotective agent that could
act when given after ischemia, at reperfusion.
