Metoprolol is one of antagonists specific for the β1 adrenergic receptor. We accidentally found that long-term administration of metoprolol induced cardiac fibrosis in mice. This fibrosis signal by metoprolol is mediated by β1 adrenergic receptor in a G protein-independent fashion and requires ERK activation. We also demonstrate that the signal pathway depends on β-arrestin2 and GRK5. Indeed, the cardiac fibrosis was not observed when the metoprolol was administered to β-arrestin2 or GRK5 deficient mice.
