Interleukin (IL)-6 decreases
cardiac contractility via a nitric oxide (NO)-dependent
pathway. However, mechanisms underlying IL-6-induced NO production
remain unclear. JAK2/STAT3 and ERK1/2 are two well known
signaling pathways activated by IL-6 in non-cardiac cells. However,
these IL-6-activated pathways have not been identified in adult cardiac
myocytes. In this study, we identified activation of these two pathways
during IL-6 stimulation and examined their roles in IL-6-induced NO
production and decrease in contractility of adult ventricular myocytes.
IL-6 increased phosphorylation of STAT3 (at Tyr705)
and ERK1/2 (at Tyr204) within 5 min that peaked at 15-30
min and returned to basal levels at 2 h. Phosphorylation of STAT3
was blocked by genistein, a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and
AG490, a JAK2 inhibitor, but not PD98059, an ERK1/2 kinase inhibitor.
The phosphorylation of ERK1/2 was blocked by PD98059 and genistein but
not AG490. Furthermore, IL-6 enhanced de novo synthesis of
iNOS protein, increased NO production, and decreased cardiac
contractility after 2 h of incubation. These effects were blocked
by genistein and AG490 but not PD98059. We conclude that IL-6
activated independently the JAK2/STAT3 and ERK1/2 pathways, but only
JAK2/STAT3 signaling mediated the NO-associated decrease in contractility.
