The cellular and molecular basis of growth
hormone (GH) actions on the heart remain poorly defined, and it is
unclear whether GH effects on the myocardium are direct or mediated at
least in part via insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1). Here, we
demonstrate that the cultured neonatal cardiomyocyte is not an
appropriate model to study the effects of GH because of artifactual
loss of GH receptors (GHRs). To circumvent this problem, rat neonatal cardiomyocytes were infected with a recombinant adenovirus expressing the murine GHR. Functional integrity of GHR was suggested by GH-induced activation of the cognate JAK2/STAT5, MAPK, and Akt
intracellular pathways in the cells expressing GHR. Although exposure
to GH resulted in a significant increase in the size of the
cardiomyocyte and increased expression of c-fos,
myosin light chain 2, and skeletal -actin mRNAs, there were no
significant changes in IGF-1 or atrial natriuretic factor
mRNA levels in response to GH stimulation. In this model, GH
increased incorporation of leucine, uptake of palmitic acid, and
abundance of fatty acid transport protein mRNA. In contrast, GH
decreased uptake of 2-deoxy-D-glucose and levels of Glut1
protein. Thus, in isolated rat neonatal cardiomyocytes expressing GHR, GH induces hypertrophy and causes alterations in
cellular metabolic profile in the absence of demonstrable changes in
IGF-1 mRNA, suggesting that these effects may be independent of
IGF-1.
