ABSTRACT
The present study was designed to investigate whether and how the purinergic stimulation of rat ventricular myocytes modulates the cAMP-dependent pathway. Stimulation of cardiomyocytes with ATPgammaS in the presence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX increases by 3-fold intracellular cAMP content. In contrast to beta-adrenergic stimulation, the purinergic stimulation of adenylyl cyclase was not inhibited by activation or enhanced by inhibition of a Gi protein. Forskolin did not potentiate the effect of extracellular ATPgammaS on intracellular cAMP content but the effect of isoproterenol did. Like isoproterenol, the purinergic agonist decreased subsequent ADP-ribosylation of a 45 kDa G(alpha s) by cholera toxin. ATPgammaS also increased cAMP content in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes, a cell type that expresses a long form of Gs protein (alpha(s), 52 kDa) in contrast to adult rat cardiomyocytes that express mostly a short form of Gs protein (alpha(s), 45 kDa). Both purinergic and beta-adrenergic agonists increased cAMP in HEK 293 cells expressing type V adenylyl cyclase while cAMP was only increased by beta-adrenergic stimulation of HEK expressing type IV or VI adenylyl cyclases. Thus, we propose that the purinergic and beta-adrenergic stimulations differentially activate adenylyl cyclase isoforms in rat cardiomyocytes and that adenylyl cyclase V is the specific target of the purinergic stimulation.
