A The effect of the receptor endocytosis inhibitor Dynasore on the NE-induced increase in NRCMs beating frequency. n = 5/group, *P vs NE + Phe, P < 0.05. B An radioimmunoassay kit was used to detect the cAMP concentration in NRCMs after treatment with different stimuli. n = 4/group. *P vs NE + Phe, β1-AA vs negative IgG, P < 0.05. CF After overexpressing β-arrestin1 (β-arr1 OE) or β-arrestin2 (β-arr2 OE), the effect of β1-AA on β1-AR-GFP endocytosis was measured via TIRF. HL-1 cells were transiently transfected with β1-AR-GFP, combined with or without transfection with β-arrestin1-RFP (C and D) or β-arrestin2-RFP (E and F). C and E are typical pictures, and D and F are the corresponding statistical charts. Scale bar = 10 μm. n = 3–4/group. P vs β1-AA, P < 0.05. Data in AF were analyzed by two-way ANOVA with a Bonferroni post hoc test. G and H The impacts of β1-AA on intracellular Ca2+ in HL-1 cells with or without β-arr1 OE or β-arr2 OE. Fluo-4 (10 μM) was used as a Ca2+ indicator. n = 3–4/group.
