ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Catecholamines and ß-adrenergic receptors (ß-ARs) play an important role in the regulation of cardiac tolerance to the impact of ischemia and reperfusion. This systematic review analyzed the molecular mechanisms of the cardioprotective activity of ß-AR ligands.METHODS:
We performed an electronic search of topical articles using PubMed databases from 1966 to 2023. We cited original in vitro and in vivo studies and review articles that documented the cardioprotective properties of ß-AR agonists and antagonists.RESULTS:
The infarct-reducing effect of ß-AR antagonists did not depend on a decrease in the heart rate. The target for ß-blockers is not only cardiomyocytes but also neutrophils. ß1-blockers (metoprolol, propranolol, timolol) and the selective ß2-AR agonist arformoterol have an infarct-reducing effect in coronary artery occlusion (CAO) in animals. Antagonists of ß1- and ß2-ÐR (metoprolol, propranolol, nadolol, carvedilol, bisoprolol, esmolol) are able to prevent reperfusion cardiac injury. All ß-AR ligands that reduced infarct size are the selective or nonselective ß1-blockers. It was hypothesized that ß1-AR blocking promotes an increase in cardiac tolerance to I/R. The activation of ß1-AR, ß2-AR, and ß3-AR can increase cardiac tolerance to I/R. The cardioprotective effect of ß-AR agonists is mediated via the activation of kinases and reactive oxygen species production.CONCLUSIONS:
It is unclear why ß-blockers with the similar receptor selectivity have the infarct-sparing effect while other ß-blockers with the same selectivity do not affect infarct size. What is the molecular mechanism of the infarct-reducing effect of ß-blockers in reperfusion? Why did in early studies ß-blockers decrease the mortality rate in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and without reperfusion and in more recent studies ß-blockers had no effect on the mortality rate in patients with AMI and reperfusion? The creation of more effective ß-AR ligands depends on the answers to these questions.Palavras-chave
