Abstract—This study was designed to determine whether mechanical stretch activates the Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) pathway in cardiomyocytes and, if so, by what mechanism. Neonatal rat/murine cardiomyocytes were cultured on malleable silicone dishes and were stretched by 20%. Mechanical stretch induced rapid phosphorylation of JAK1, JAK2, Tyk2, STAT1, STAT3, and glycoprotein 130 as early as 2 minutes and peaked at 5 to 15 minutes. It also caused gel mobility shift of sis-inducing element, which was supershifted by preincubation with anti-STAT3 antibody. Preincubation with CV11974 (AT1 blocker) partially inhibited the phosphorylation of STAT1, but not that of STAT3. Preincubation with TAK044 (endothelin-1-type A/B-receptor blocker) did not attenuate this pathway. RX435 (anti–glycoprotein 130 blocking antibody) inhibited the phosphorylation of STAT3 and partially inhibited that of STAT1. Phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT3 was strongly inhibited by HOE642 (Na+/H+ exchanger inhibitor) and BAPTA-AM (intracellular calcium chelator), but not by gadolinium (stretch-activated ion channel inhibitor), EGTA (extracellular Ca2+ chelator), or KN62 (Ca2+/calmodulin kinase II inhibitor). Chelerythrine (protein kinase C inhibitor) partially inhibited the phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT3. Mechanical stretch also augmented the mRNA expression of cardiotrophin-1, interleukin-6, and leukemia inhibitory factor at 60 to 120 minutes. These results indicated that the JAK/STAT pathway was activated by mechanical stretch, and that this activation was partially dependent on autocrine/paracrine–secreted angiotensin II and was mainly dependent on the interleukin-6 family of cytokines but was independent of endothelin-1. Moreover, certain levels of intracellular Ca2+ were necessary for stretch-induced activation of this pathway, and protein kinase C was also partially involved in this activation.


Key Words: mechanical stretch • angiotensin II • cardiac hypertrophy • JAK/STAT pathway • glycoprotein 130
