We investigate the role of Rab4, a Ras-like small GTPase coordinating protein transport from the endosome to the plasma membrane, on the recycling and activation of endogenous beta-adrenergic receptor (beta-AR) in HL-1 cardiac myocytes in vitro and transgenic mouse hearts in vivo. beta1-AR the predominant subtype of beta-AR in HL-1 cardiac myocytes, is internalized after stimulation with isoproterenol (ISO) and fully recycled at 4 hrs upon ISO removal. Transient expression of Rab4 markedly facilitated recycling of internalized beta-AR to the cell surface and enhanced beta-AR signaling as measured by ISO-stimulated cAMP production. Transgenic overexpression of Rab4 in the mouse myocardium significantly increased the number of beta-AR in the plasma membrane and augmented cAMP production at the basal level and in response to ISO stimulation. Rab4 overexpression induced concentric cardiac hypertrophy with a moderate increase in ventricle/body weight ratio and posterior wall thickness and a selective upregulation of the beta-myosin heavy chain gene. These data provide the first evidence indicating that Rab4 is a rate-limiting factor for the recycling of endogenous beta-AR and augmentation of Rab4-mediated traffic enhances beta-AR function in cardiac myocytes.
