Background—Adenosine can initiate ischemic preconditioning, and mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels have emerged as the likely effectors. We sought to determine the mechanistic interactions between these 2 observations.

Methods and Results—The mitochondrial flavoprotein oxidation induced by diazoxide (100 µmol/L) was used to quantify mitochondrial KATP channel activity in intact rabbit ventricular myocytes. Adenosine (100 µmol/L) increased mitochondrial KATP channel activity and abbreviated the latency to mitochondrial KATP channel opening. These potentiating effects were entirely prevented by the adenosine receptor antagonist 8-(p-sulfophenyl)-theophylline (100 µmol/L) or by the protein kinase C inhibitor polymyxin B (50 µmol/L). The effects of adenosine and diazoxide reflected mitochondrial KATP channel activation, because they could be blocked by the mitochondrial KATP channel blocker 5-hydroxydecanoate (500 µmol/L). In a cellular model of simulated ischemia, adenosine mitigated cell injury; this cardioprotective effect was blocked by 5-hydroxydecanoate but not by the surface-selective KATP channel blocker HMR1098. Moreover, adenosine augmented the cardioprotective effect of diazoxide. A quantitative model of mitochondrial KATP channel gating reproduced the major experimental findings.

Conclusions—Our results support the hypothesis that adenosine receptor activation primes the opening of mitochondrial KATP channels in a protein kinase C–dependent manner. The findings provide tangible links among various key elements in the preconditioning cascade.
