N2 - Background- Inhibition of L-type Ca current contributes to negative inotropy of β3 adrenergic receptor (β3 AR) activation, but effects on other determinants of excitation-contraction coupling are not known. Of these, the Na-K pump is of particular interest because of adverse effects attributed to high cardiac myocyte Na levels and upregulation of the β3 AR in heart failure. Methods and results- We voltage clamped rabbit ventricular myocytes and identified electrogenic Na-K pump current (Ip) as the shift in holding current induced by ouabain. The synthetic β3 AR agonists BRL37344 and CL316,243 and the natural agonist norepinephrine increased Ip. Pump stimulation was insensitive to the β1/β2 AR antagonist nadolol and the protein kinase A inhibitor H-89 but sensitive to the β3 AR antagonist L-748,337. Blockade of nitric oxide synthase abolished pump stimulation and an increase in fluorescence of myocytes loaded with a nitric oxide-sensitive dye. Exposure of myocytes to β3 AR agonists decreased β1 Na-K pump subunit glutathionylation, an oxidative modification that causes pump inhibition. The in vivo relevance of this was indicated by an increase in myocardial β1 pump subunit glutathionylation with elimination of β3 AR-mediated signaling in β3 AR mice. The in vivo effect of BRL37344 on contractility of the nonfailing and failing heart in sheep was consistent with a beneficial effect of Na-K pump stimulation in heart failure. Conclusions- The β3 AR mediates decreased β1 subunit glutathionylation and Na-K pump stimulation in the heart. Upregulation of the receptor in heart failure may be a beneficial mechanism that facilitates the export of excess Na.
