G{beta}{gamma} subunits are involved in many different signalling processes in various compartments of the cell, including the nucleus. To gain insight into the functions of nuclear G{beta}{gamma}, we investigated the functional role of G{beta}{gamma} signalling in regulation of GPCR-mediated gene expression in primary rat neonatal cardiac fibroblasts. Following activation of the angiotensin II type I receptor in these cells, G{beta}{gamma} dimers interact with RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). Our findings suggest that G{beta}1 recruitment to RNAPII negatively regulates the fibrotic transcriptional response, which can be overcome by strong fibrotic stimuli. The interaction between G{beta}{gamma} subunits and RNAPII expands the role for G{beta}{gamma} signalling in cardiac fibrosis. The G{beta}{gamma}-RNAPII interaction was regulated by signaling pathways in HEK 293 cells that diverged from those operating in cardiac fibroblasts. Thus, the interaction may be a conserved feature of transcriptional regulation although such regulation may be cell-specific.
