beta(3)-adrenergic receptor (beta(3)-AR) activation produces a negative inotropic effect in human ventricles. Here we explored the role of [beta(3)-AR in the human atrium. Unexpectedly, beta(3)-AR activation increased human atrial tissue contractility and stimulated the L-type Ca2+ channel current (I-Ca,I-L) in isolated human atrial myocytes (HAMs). Right atria] tissue specimens were obtained from 57 patients undergoing heart surgery for congenital defects, coronary artery diseases, valve replacement, or heart transplantation. The I-Ca,I-L and isometric contraction were recorded using a whole-cell patch-clamp technique and a mechanoelectrical force transducer. Two selective beta(3)-AR agonists, SR58611 and BRL37344, and a beta(3)-AR partial agonist, CGP12177, stimulated I-Ca,I-L in HAMs with nanomolar potency and a 60%-90% efficacy compared with isoprenaline. The beta(3)-AR agonists also increased contractility but with a much lower efficacy (similar to 10%) than isoprenaline. The beta(3)-AR antagonist L-748,337, beta(1)/beta(2)-AR antagonist nadolol, and beta(1)-/beta(2)-/beta(3)-AR antagonist bupranolol were used to confirm the involvement Of beta(3)-ARs (and not beta(1)-/beta(2)-ARs) in these effects. The beta(3)-AR effects involved the cAMP/PKA pathway, since the PKA inhibitor H89 blocked I-Ca,I-L stimulation and the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) strongly increased the positive inotropic effect. Therefore, unlike in ventricular tissue, beta(3)-ARs are positively coupled to L-type Ca2+ channels and contractility in human atrial tissues through a cAMP-dependent pathway.
