Abstract: Objective To investigate the terminal effects on cardiomyocytes of β1-adrenergic receptor autoantibodies (β1-AA) at different concentrations for different time. Methods Cell survival was detected after 10-10, 10-9, 10-8, 10-7, 10-6 mol/L β1-AA treating neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) and H9c2 cells for 24, 36, and 48 hours, while mitochondrial function (ATP content and mitochondrial membrane potential) of H9c2 cells was detected after 48 hours.Results The cell survival of NRCMs and H9c2 decreased significantly by β1-AA in high-concentrations (10-7, 10-6 mol/L) at any time and the survival of H9c2 proliferated slightly in low concentrations (10-10, 10-9, 10-8mol/L) at any time. ATP content of H9c2 was decreased by β1-AA in high concentration (10-6 mol/L), while increased in medium and low concentrations (10-10, 10-9, 10-8, 10-7 mol/L). The mitochondrial membrane potential of H9c2 was decreased by β1-AA in high concentrations (10-6 mol/L), while increased in low concentrations. Conclusion β1-AA damage cardiomyocytes in high concentration while it showed the positive effects in low concentrations (ie, promoting ATP production and cell survival). And all the effects had no relation to time. In conclusion, our study provides a new foundation for the differences of cardiac function among β1-AA positive population.
