E-NTPDase1/CD39 modulates renin release from heart mast cells during ischemia/reperfusion: a novel cardioprotective role.

ABSTRACT: Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) elicits renin release from cardiac mast cells (MC), thus activating a local renin-angiotensin system (RAS), culminating in ventricular fibrillation. We hypothesized that in I/R, neurogenic ATP could degranulate juxtaposed MC and that ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 1/CD39 (CD39) on MC membrane could modulate ATP-induced renin release. We report that pharmacological inhibition of CD39 in a cultured human mastocytoma cell line (HMC-1) and murine bone marrow-derived MC with ARL67156 (100 µM) increased ATP-induced renin release (≥2-fold), whereas purinergic P2X7 receptors (P2X7R) blockade with A740003 (3 µM) prevented it. Likewise, CD39 RNA silencing in HMC-1 increased ATP-induced renin release (≥2-fold), whereas CD39 overexpression prevented it. Acet
