ATVB in Focus The Role of Adenosine in Response to Vascular Inflammation Series Editor: Joel Linden A2 Adenosine Receptors and Vascular Pathologies
Cardiovascular disease, a leading cause of death and morbidity, is regulated, among various factors, by inflammation. The level of the metabolite adenosine is augmented under stress, including inflammatory, hypoxic, or injurious events. Adenosine has been shown to affect various physiological and pathological processes, largely through 1 or more of its 4 types of receptors: the A1 and A3 adenyl...
متن کاملMechanism of A2 adenosine receptor activation. I. Blockade of A2 adenosine receptors by photoaffinity labeling.
It has previously been shown that covalent incorporation of the photoreactive adenosine derivative (R)-2-azido-N6-p-hydroxy-phenylisopropyladenosine [(R)-AHPIA] into the A1 adenosine receptor of intact fat cells leads to a persistent activation of this receptor, resulting in a reduction of cellular cAMP levels [Mol. Pharmacol. 30:403-409 (1986)]. In contrast, covalent incorporation of (R)-AHPIA...
متن کاملEndogenous adenosine reduces glutamatergic output from rods through activation of A2-like adenosine receptors.
Adenosine is released from retina in darkness; photoreceptors possess A2 adenosine receptors, and A2 agonists inhibit L-type Ca2+ currents (ICa) in rods. We therefore investigated whether A2 agonists inhibit rod inputs into second-order neurons and whether selective antagonists to A1, A2A, or A3 receptors prevent Ca2+ influx through rod ICa. [Ca2+]i changes in rods were assessed with fura-2. IC...
متن کاملThe role of adenosine A2 receptors in regulation of pial vessels blood flow in anesthetized morphine dependent rats.
Introduction:Adenosine as a potent vasodilator has physiological role in regulation of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF). Metod: Laser-Dِoppler flowmetry technique was used to study pial vessels blood flow responses to adenosine receptors agonists and antagonist. Male Sprague Dawley rats (250-350g) that were housed in standard conditions, were anesthetized with Urethane (1.5g/kg). Adenosine ...
متن کاملPLATELETS AND VASCULAR OCCLUSION Thromboxane A2 and prostaglandin endoperoxide receptors in platelets and vascular smooth muscle
9,1 1-Dimethylmethano11, 12-methano16-(3-iodo-4-hydroxyphenyl)13, 14-dihydro13-aza-15a/3-w-tetranor-TXA2 (I-PTA-OH), a recently synthesized thromboxane (TX) A2/prostaglandin (PG) H2 receptor antagonist, was shown to be a competitive antagonist of human platelet aggregation induced by the stable endoperoxide analog U46619. This antagonism was due to competitive blockade of the platelet TXA2/PGH2...
