Evidence is accumulating to support a potentially important role for purinergic (P2X) receptors in heart failure (HF). We tested the hypothesis that a hydrolysis-resistant nucleotide analog with agonist activity at myocardial P2X receptors (P2XRs) improves the systolic HF phenotype in mouse and dog models. We developed a hydrolysis-resistant adenosine monophosphate derivative, (1'S,2R,3S,4'R,5'S)-4-(6-amino-2-chloro-9H-purin-9-yl)-1-[phosphoryloxymethyl] bicycle[3.1.0]hexane-2,3-diol) (MRS2339), with agonist activity at native cardiac P2XRs. Chronic MRS2339 infusion in postinfarct and calsequestrin (CSQ) mice with HF resulted in higher rates of pressure change (+dP/dt), left ventricle (LV)-developed pressure, and cardiac output in an in vitro working heart model. Heart function in vivo, as determined by echocardiography-derived fractional shortening, was also improved in MRS2339-infused mice. The beneficial effect of MRS2339 was dose-dependent and was identical to that produced by cardiac myocyte-specific overexpression of the P2X(4) receptor. The HF improvement was associated with the preservation of LV wall thickness in both systole and diastole in postinfarct and CSQ mice. In dogs with pacing-induced HF, MRS2339 infusion reduced left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, improved arterial oxygenation, and increased +dP/dt. MRS2339 treatment also decreased LV chamber size in mice and dogs with HF. In murine and canine models of systolic HF, in vivo administration of a P2X nucleotide agonist improved contractile function and cardiac performance. These actions were associated with preserved LV wall thickness and decreased LV remodeling. The data are consistent with a role of cardiac P2XRs in mediating the beneficial effect of this agonist.
