We previously reported that adrenomedullin produced by cardiac myocytes acts as a local modulator in some cardiac disorders. However, the role of adrenomedullin (AM) in cardiomyocyte apoptosis remains to be clarified. The present study investigated the effect of AM on doxorubicin-induced cardiac myocyte apoptosis. Doxorubicin increased the number of cells with pyknotic nuclei and lactate dehydrogenase release, and AM dose-dependently (10(-10)-10(-8)6 M) inhibited these increases produced by doxorubicin. Treatment with AM also suppressed doxorubicin-induced DNA fragmentation and caspase-3 activation. 8-Bromo-cAMP, a cAMP analog, mimicked these antiapoptotic effects of AM. An AM/calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist CGRP-(8-37) and a protein kinase A inhibitor H89 attenuated the antiapoptotic effect of AM. CGRP-(8-37) and H89 had no apoptotic effect alone, but accelerated doxorubicin-induced apoptosis. Under serum-free conditions, AM secretion into the culture medium and expression of AM mRNA were significantly increased after treatment with doxorubicin. Hydrogen peroxide scavenger catalase and antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine inhibited the doxorubicin-mediated increase in AM secretion and its gene expression. These results indicate that AM inhibits doxorubicin-induced cardiac myocyte apoptosis through a cAMP-dependent mechanism and suggest that augmented production of AM by doxorubicin has an endogenous antiapoptotic effect. AM, as an autocrine factor, may play a protective role against cardiomyocyte injury by doxorubicin.
