BACKGROUND: The type VI adenylyl cyclase (AC6) is a main contributor of cAMP
production in the heart. The amino acid (aa) sequence of AC6 is highly homologous
to that of another major cardiac adenylyl cyclase, AC5, except for its N-terminus
(AC6-N, aa 1-86). Activation of AC6, rather than AC5, produces cardioprotective
effects against heart failure, while the underlying mechanism remains to be
unveiled. Using an AC6-null (AC6(-/-)) mouse and a knockin mouse with AC6-N
deletion (AC6 (?N/?N)), we aimed to investigate the cardioprotective mechanism of
AC6 in the heart. METHODS: Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence staining
were performed to determine the intracellular distribution of AC6, AC6-?N (a
truncated AC6 lacking the first 86 amino acids), and STAT3 activation. Activities
of AC6 and AC6-?N in the heart were assessed by cAMP assay. Apoptosis of
cardiomyocytes were evaluated by the TUNEL assay and a propidium iodine-based
survival assay. Fibrosis was examined by collagen staining. RESULTS:
Immunofluorescence staining revealed that cardiac AC6 was mainly anchored on the
sarcolemmal membranes, while AC6-?N was redistributed to the sarcoplasmic
reticulum. AC6(?N/?N) and AC6(-/-) mice had more apoptotic myocytes and cardiac
remodeling than WT mice in experimental models of isoproterenol (ISO)-induced
myocardial injury. Adult cardiomyocytes isolated from AC6(?N/?N) or AC6(-/-) mice
survived poorly after exposure to ISO, which produced no effect on WT
cardiomyocytes under the condition tested. Importantly, ISO treatment induced
cardiac STAT3 phosphorylation/activation in WT mice, but not in AC6(?N/?N) and
AC6(-/-) mice. Pharmacological blockage of PKA-, Src-, or STAT3- pathway markedly
reduced the survival of WT myocytes in the presence of ISO, but did not affect
those of AC6(?N/?N) and AC6(-/-) myocytes, suggesting an important role of AC6 in
mediating cardioprotective action through the activation of
PKA-Src-STAT3-signaling. CONCLUSIONS: Collectively, AC6-N controls the anchorage
of cardiac AC6 on the sarcolemmal membrane, which enables the coupling of AC6
with the pro-survival PKA-STAT3 pathway. Our findings may facilitate the
development of novel therapies for heart failure.
