Isoproterenol Triggers ROS/P53/S100-A9 Positive Feedback to Aggravate Myocardial Damage Associated with Complement Activation.

Negative feelings caused by external stress can continually agonize adrenergic receptors via promoting catecholamine secretion, causing cardiovascular disease. This study examines the mechanism by which persistent ß-adrenergic receptor agonism induces myocardial injury. A rat model of cardiac injury was herein established using isoproterenol (5 mg/kg, continuous intraperitoneal injection for 3 days), and multiomics technology combined with metabolomics and proteomics was used to explore the mechanism by which persistent ß-adrenergic receptor agonism induces myocardial injury. The mechanism underlying this phenomenon was further verified at the cellular level. Isoproterenol-induced persistent ß-adrenergic receptor agonism promoted the release of reactive oxygen species, and P53, S100-A9, and complement 3 were shown to be involved in complement system activation pathways. Our data have demonstrated that isoproterenol could trigger ROS/P53/S100-A9 positive feedback to aggravate myocardial damage associated with complement activation.
