['To observe human beta(2) adrenergic receptors (beta(2)-AR) gene expression in cardiomyocytes transfected by adenoviral vector contain cmv or mlc-2v promoter.', 'Two adenoviral vectors (Adcmv beta(2) AR, Admlc beta(2) AR) were constructed, in which beta(2)-AR gene is under control of either the ventricle-specific myosin light chain-2 (mlc-2v) or the cmv promoter. The cultured neonate rat ventricular myocytes were infected by two adenoviral vectors, and the beta(2)-AR expression of on cultured neonate rat ventricular myocytes and their ability to potentiate beta-adrenergic signaling were assessed.', 'The presence of beta(2)-AR mRNA was detected by RT-PCR, and the expression of the beta(2)-AR gene was demonstrated by protein immunoblots. According to a ligand binding assay, the density of beta-AR in the cardiomyocytes infected by Admlc beta(2) AR and Adcmv beta(2) AR was greater than that in the control. Moreover, the latter was higher than the former (234 +/- 6.4 fmol/mg protein vs 153 +/- 5.2 fmol/mg protein) (P < 0.01). It was demonstrated that beta(2)-AR gene significantly increased isoproterenol stimulated cAMP in cardiomyocytes.'] Do [ The study of beta-2 adrenergic receptors gene transferred into cardiomyocytes by adenovirus vectors contain different promoter ]?
