Aim. To investigate the genetic contribution of adenosine A3 receptor (ADORA3) gene polymorphisms in the pathogenesis of chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods. Firstly, a case-control study was performed to investigate the association of ADORA3 polymorphisms with CHF risk. Three hundred northern Chinese Han CHF patients and 400 ethnicity-matched healthy controls were included. Four polymorphisms were genotyped. This case-control study was also replicated in 304 CHF patients and 402 controls from southern China. Finally, the functional variability of positive polymorphism was analyzed using luciferase reporter assay and real-time PCR. Results. Overall, the rs1544223 was significantly associated with CHF risk under the dominant model ( P = 0.046 , OR = 1.662, 95% CI = 1.009–2.738). But it did not affect disease severity. These results were also consistent in replicated population. In addition, the transcriptional activity for promoter with the A allele was lower than that with the G allele ( n = 3 , 4.501 ± 0.308 versus 0.571 ± 0.114 , P < 0.01 ) and ADORA3 mRNA levels were significantly higher in GG homozygotes than subjects carrying GA ( n = 6 , 0.058 ± 0.01 versus 0.143 ± 0.068 , P = 0.004 ) or AA genotypes ( n = 6 , 0.065 ± 0.01 versus 0.143 ± 0.068 , P = 0.008 ). Conclusions. Should the findings be validated by further studies with larger patient samples and in different ethnicities, they may provide novel insight into the pathogenesis of CHF.
