The role of Galphai-2 overexpression in desensitization of beta-adrenergic signaling in heart failure is controversial. An adenovirus-based approach was used to investigate whether overexpression of Galphai-2 impairs beta-adrenergic stimulation of adenylyl cyclase (AC) activity and cAMP levels in neonatal rat cardiac myocytes (NRCM) and cell shortening of adult rat ventricular myocytes (ARVM). Infection of NRCM with Ad5Galphai-2 increased Galphai-2 by 50-600% in a virus dose-dependent manner. Overexpression was paralleled by suppression of GTP- and isoprenaline-stimulated AC by 10-72% (P
