Orphan receptors that couple to G protein without known ligands are considered to relate directly to drug discovery. Here, we examine the expression of various orphan receptors in H9c2 cells during ischemic hypoxia and reoxygenation. Among orphan receptors examined, the level of G protein-coupled receptor 41 (GPR41) mRNA increases significantly, with a peak at 2 h after reoxygenation, and recovers to the control level by 3 h after reoxygenation. The level of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase mRNA used as an internal control remains almost constant. The levels of c-fos and c-jun mRNA increase significantly with ischemic hypoxia and reoxygenation. The transfection of GPR41 into H9c2 cells results in a significant decrease in cell number, with DNA fragmentation observed by in vitro and in situ assay. The amount of p53 protein increases significantly in the nuclei of cells expressing GPR41, accompanying an increase in the transcriptional activity of p53. Consistent with the activation of p53, the level of bax mRNA is significantly increased, which leads to an increase in Bax protein. Furthermore, the expression of a deletion mutant of a GPR41, which lacks the G protein binding site and shows an attenuation of intracellular phosphorylation signals to H9c2 cells, inhibits cell death and the increase in p53 protein within 24 h after reoxygenation. These observations demonstrate that GPR41 is a novel receptor that activates p53 leading to apoptosis during reoxygenation after ischemic hypoxia in H9c2 cells. We have designated GPR41 as the hypoxia-induced apoptosis receptor, HIA-R.
