Figure 4. β3-AR expression and function in Dox-CM hearts.

Figure 4

A. Representative β3-AR immunoblotting at days 35 (d35) and 70 (d70). B. β3-AR protein quantification at day 35. C. β3-AR protein quantification at day 70. Protein levels were quantified using Amersham ImageQuant RT-ECL camera (GE Healthcare). The band signals were assessed by densitometry with ImageQuant TL software (GE Healthcare) and a ratio to the corresponding GAPDH band intensity was calculated. D. Cardiac inotropic (dP/dtmax), E. lusitropic (dP/dtmin) and F. chronotropic (HR) effects of increasing concentrations of SR 58611A (10−9 to 10−5 M) were evaluated on isolated perfused hearts. **: P<0.001 vs Ctrl. Ctrl: control, Dox-CM: Doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy.
