Abstract
Background— A2A-adenosine receptor (A2AAR) activation on reperfusion after ischemia reduces the size of myocardial infarction, but the mechanism of action has not been fully defined. Methods and Results— We created chimeric mice by bone marrow transplantation from A2AAR-knockout or green fluorescent donor mice to irradiated congenic C57BL/6 (B6) recipients. In the GFP chimeras, we were unable to detect green fluorescent–producing cells in the vascular endothelium, indicating that bone marrow–derived cells were not recruited to endothelium at appreciable levels after bone marrow transplantation and/or acute myocardial infarction. Injection of 5 or 10 μg/kg of a potent and selective agonist of A2AAR, ATL146e, had no effect on hemodynamic parameters but reduced infarct size in B6 mice after 45 minutes of left anterior descending artery occlusion followed by 24 hours of reperfusion to 42.5±3.0% and 39.3±4.7% of risk region, respectively, compared with 61.0±2.3% in vehicle-treated B6 mice (P<0.05).
