3,3',5-Triiodothyronine (T3), at 10(-8) M, potentiated by 26.4-30.9% the isoproterenol-mediated inotropic effect in chick embryo cardiac myocytes in culture. Amiodarone (10(-6) M) decreased this response by 44.6% only in cells cultured with serum, where the T3 concentration was 10(-13) M. Amiodarone inhibited the potentiating effect of T3. Amiodarone alone had no influence on the beta-adrenoceptor density in cells cultured in serum-free medium. This confirms that the effects of amiodarone on cardiac beta-adrenoceptors are T3 dependent. T3 increased the density of beta-adrenoceptors through two concentration ranges, with an initial 30% increase between 10(-14) and 10(-11) M, followed by a second increase until 10(-7) M. Amiodarone not only inhibited the first positive effect of T3 but also decreased beta-adrenoceptor density far below the control value. The second positive T3 effect was also inhibited by 50% by amiodarone. This study suggests that T3 might increase the number of cell-surface beta-adrenoceptors and modify their cellular traffic through at least two mechanisms, one assumed to be non-genomic, the other being genomic, and that amiodarone could affect the two mechanisms differently.
