The aim of the present study was to assess the inotropic effects of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) on isolated myocardial trabeculae from the right atrium and the left ventricle of human hearts. Furthermore, using reverse transcriptase-PCR, we wanted to determine the presence of mRNAs encoding the three cloned human VIP receptors, VPAC1, VPAC2 and PAC1. The trabeculae were paced at 1.0Hz in tissue baths, and changes in isometric contractile force upon exposure to agonist were studied. VIP had a potent positive inotropic effect in some of the atrial and ventricular trabeculae tested. This effect was almost completely blocked by the VIP-receptor antagonist VIP-(6-28). mRNAs encoding the human VPAC1, VPAC2 and PAC1 receptors were detected in human myocardial trabeculae from both the right atrium and the left ventricle. In conclusion, VIP has a direct positive inotropic effect in both the atria and the ventricles of the human heart. The presence of mRNAs for the VPAC1, VPAC2 and PAC1 receptors suggest that VIP may mediate its effect via these receptors.
