Resum
Increased adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) expression and activation underlies a higher incidence of spontaneous calcium release in atrial fibrillation (AF). Adenosine A3 receptors (A3R) could counteract excessive A2AR activation, but their functional role in the atrium remains elusive, and we therefore aimed to address the impact of A3Rs on intracellular calcium homeostasis. For this purpose, we analyzed right atrial samples or myocytes from 53 patients without AF, using quantitative PCR, patch-clamp technique, immunofluorescent labeling or confocal calcium imaging. A3R mRNA accounted for 9% and A2AR mRNA for 32%. At baseline, A3R inhibition increased the transient inward current (ITI) frequency from 0.28 to 0.81 events/min (p < 0.05). Simultaneous stimulation of A2ARs and A3Rs increased the calcium spark frequency seven-fold (p < 0.001) and the ITI frequency from 0.14 to 0.64 events/min (p < 0.05). Subsequent A3R inhibition caused a strong additional increase in the ITI frequency (to 2.04 events/min; p < 0.01) and increased phosphorylation at s2808 1.7-fold (p < 0.001). These pharmacological treatments had no significant effects on L-type calcium current density or sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium load. In conclusion, A3Rs are expressed and blunt spontaneous calcium release at baseline and upon A2AR-stimulation in human atrial myocytes, pointing to A3R activation as a means to attenuate physiological and pathological elevations of spontaneous calcium release events.
