Results PGE2 activates MEF2 through the EP3 receptor To identify unknown GPCR\dependent signaling pathways that regulate MEF2 activity, we conducted a screening experiment using neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs). NRVMs were infected with an adenovirus harboring a MEF2\reporter (3xMEF2\Luc), which responds to endogenous MEF2. Thereafter, the cells were stimulated with different GPCR agonists for 24?h in serum\free medium. Similar to previous reports, endothelin\1 (100?nM) activated MEF2 to a high extent (Backs (Herman Myomaxin(Fig?1B). MEF2 activation is commonly associated with the induction of hypertrophic gene programs. Likewise, PGE2 increased the mRNA levels of the hypertrophy marker (Fig?1B) and induced cellular hypertrophy of NRVMs, which correlated with the induction of MEF2 activity (Fig?1C). In addition, we observed a similar extent of protein synthesis induction after PGE2 stimulation as with the well\known hypertrophic \adrenoceptor agonist phenylephrine (Fig?EV1B).
