Effect of overexpressed adenylyl cyclase VI on beta 1- and beta 2-adrenoceptor responses in adult rat ventricular myocytes.
Article in British journal of pharmacology, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
1. Adenylyl cyclase VI (ACVI) is one of the most abundantly expressed beta adrenergic receptor (betaAR)-coupled cyclases responsible for cyclic AMP (cAMP) production within the mammalian myocardium. We investigated the role of ACVI in the regulation of cardiomyocyte contractility and whether it is functionally coupled with beta(1) adrenergic receptor (beta(1)AR). 2. Recombinant adenoviruses were generated for ACVI and for antisense to ACVI (AS). Adult rat ventricular myocytes were transfected with ACVI virus, AS or both (SAS). Adenovirus for green fluorescent protein (GFP) served as control. Myocyte contraction amplitudes (% shortening) and relaxation times (R50) were analysed. ACVI function was determined using cAMP assays. 3. ACVI-transfected cells demonstrated a strong 139 kDa ACVI protein band compared to controls. ACVI myocytes had higher steady-state intracellular cAMP levels than GFP myocytes when unstimulated (GFP vs ACVI=6.60+/-0.98 vs 14.2+/-2.1 fmol cAMP/viable cell, n=4, P<0.05) and in the presence of 1 microm isoprenaline or 10 microm forskolin. 4. ACVI myocytes had increased basal contraction (% shortening: GFP vs ACVI: 1.90+/-1.36 vs 3.91+/-2.29, P<0.0001) and decreased basal R50 (GFP vs ACVI: 62.6+/-24.2 ms (n=50) vs 45.0+/-17.2 ms (n=248), P<0.0001). ACVI myocyte responses were increased for forskolin (E(max): GFP=6.70+/-1.59 (n=6); ACVI=9.06+/-0.69 (n=14), P<0.01) but not isoprenaline. 5. ACVI myocyte responses were increased (E(max): GFP vs ACVI=3.16+/-0.77 vs 5.10+/-0.60, P<0.0001) to xamoterol (a partial beta(1)AR-selective agonist) under beta(2)AR blockade (+50 nm ICI 118, 551). AS decreased both control and ACVI-stimulated xamoterol responses (E(max): AS=2.59+/-1.42, SAS=1.38+/-0.5). ACVI response was not mimicked by IBMX. Conversely, response through beta(2) adrenergic receptor (beta(2)AR) was decreased in ACVI myocytes. 6. In conclusion, ACVI overexpression constitutively increases myocyte contraction amplitudes by raising cAMP levels. Native ACVI did not contribute to basal cAMP production or contraction amplitude and only to a minor extent to the forskolin response. beta(1)AR but not beta(2)AR coupling was dependent on ACVI.
