چکیده

BACKGROUND Pheochromocytomas are rare tumors derived from the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla. Although these tumors have long been postulated to induce hypertension and cardiomyopathy through the hypersecretion of catecholamines, catecholamines alone may not fully explain the profound myocardial remodeling induced by these tumors. We sought to determine whether changes in myocardial function in pheochromocytoma-induced cardiomyopathy result solely from catecholamines secretion or from multiple pheochromocytoma-derived factors. METHODS AND RESULTS Isolated cardiomyocytes incubated with pheochromocytoma-conditioned growth media contracted at a higher frequency than cardiomyocytes incubated with norepinephrine (NE) only. Sprague-Dawley rats and black-6 mice were implanted with agarose-encapsulated pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells, dihydroxyphenylalanine decarboxylase knock-out PC12 cells deficient in NE (PC12-KO), or NE-secreting pumps. PC12 cell implantation increased left ventricular dilation by 35+/-6% and 9.6+/-1.4% and reduced left ventricular fractional shortening by 20+/-3% and 28+/-4% in rats and mice compared with animals dosed only with NE, respectively. Elimination of NE secretion in PC12-KO cells induced neither cardiac dilation (3.9%+/-1.8% increase versus control) nor changes in (1.9%+/-0.4% reduction) fractional shortening compared to controls. CONCLUSIONS Pheochromocytomas induce a greater degree of cardiomyopathy than equivalent doses of NE, suggesting pheochromocytoma-induced cardiomyopathy is not solely mediated by NE, rather pheochromocytoma secretory factors in combination with catecholamines act synergistically to induce greater cardiac damage than catecholamines alone.

Pheochromocytoma-Induced Cardiomyopathy is Modulated by the Synergistic Effects of Cell-Secreted Factors: Mobine. Cell-Secreted Factors in Pheo-Induced CM

Background—Pheochromocytomas are rare tumors derived from the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla. While these tumors have long been postulated to induce hypertension and cardiomyopathy through the hypersecretion of catecholamines, catecholamines alone may not fully explain the profound myocardial remodeling induced by these tumors. We sought to determine whether changes in myocardial funct...

Pheochromocytoma-induced Cardiomyopathy: a Model of Synergistic Effects of Multifactorial Tumor Secretions

One specific thesis of pathogenesis holds that diseases are dependent upon the complex interactions of multiple compounds and cofactors. While one agent may dominate, its powerful effects are mediated by ancillary factors that alone may have no discernible action. We examined this paradigm by comparing catecholamine-infusion induced cardiomyopathy with the organ disease observed by catecholamin...

Effects of hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress on the pattern of pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic genes expression during PC12 cells differentiation

Background and Objective: In neurodegenerative disorders, oxidative stress mediated by reactive oxygen species is strongly associated with increased neuronal damages that lead to apoptosis. Pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic gene expressions were changed during cell differentiation that affect cell viability and differentiation. This study was conducted to determine the effects of hydrogen peroxi...

Encapsulated pheochromocytoma cells secrete potent noncatecholamine factors.

Pheochromocytomas are widely believed to induce cardiomyopathy via hypersecretion of catecholamines, including norepinephrine (NE). NE can have direct cardiomyocyte toxicity and/or can stimulate myocardial remodeling secondary to the induction of hypertension. Yet, the development of cardiomyopathy is not entirely related to catecholamine dose or the extent of hypertension. To explore these eff...

A vicious cycle of acute catecholamine cardiomyopathy and circulatory collapse secondary to pheochromocytoma

Acute catecholamine cardiomyopathy is an uncommon, life-threatening manifestation of pheochromocytoma. The massive release of catecholamines from the adrenal medulla and their toxic effects on the coronary vessels and the cardiac myocytes play a significant role in the pathogenesis of cardiomyopathy in patients with pheochromocytoma. Severe manifestations, such as acute catecholamine cardiomyop...
