Alterative and Plastic Insufficiency of Cardiomyocytes: Isoproterenol-Induced Damage to Myocardium during Anthracycline Cardiomyopathy

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Abstract

The development of regenerative and plastic myocardial insufficiency induced by anthracycline antibiotic rubomycin is accompanied by a decrease in cardiomyocyte sensitivity to damage produced by synthetic catecholamine isoproterenol. The incidence and the size of coagulation necrosis foci of cardiomyocytes developed 6 h after isoproterenol injection significantly decreased with increasing in the interval between rubomycin injection and subsequent administration of isoproterenol. In Wistar rats receiving rubomycin 3-5 days prior to isoproterenol and exhibiting signs of regenerative and plastic insufficiency, no cardiomyocyte contracture, intracellular myocytolysis, or lump degradation characteristic of cardiac insufficiency induced by endo- and exogenous catecholamines were found.
