BACKGROUND. It is well known that during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with cardioplegic cardiac arrest, catecholamines are vigorously increased. We therefore investigated whether this might cause desensitization of human cardiac beta-adrenoceptors. METHODS AND RESULTS. We assessed in 12 children with acyanotic congenital heart disease who underwent open-heart surgery right atrial beta-adrenoceptor number and subtype distribution [by (-)-[125I]iodocyanopindolol binding] and adenylate cyclase activation [by the beta-adrenoceptor agonist isoprenaline (100 microM) and by the non-receptor-mediated activators 10 microM GTP, 10 mM NaF, 100 microM forskolin, and 10 mM Mn2+] before and after CPB with cardiac arrest by means of St. Thomas' cardioplegic solution. CPB affected neither beta-adrenoceptor number of subtype distribution nor GTP-, NaF-, forskolin-, or Mn(2+)-induced activation of adenylate cyclase. In contrast, activation of adenylate cyclase by 100 microM isoprenaline was significantly (p = 0.0249) lower after CPB than before CPB. CONCLUSIONS. CPB with cardioplegic cardiac arrest decreases beta-adrenoceptor-mediated adenylate cyclase activation in a manner compatible with an uncoupling of beta- adrenoceptors from the Gs-protein-adenylate cyclase complex. Such a beta-adrenoceptor desensitization may be the reason why after CPB many patients need inotropic support but do not respond sufficiently to catecholamines.
