Adenosine A2A receptor activation and macrophage-mediated experimental glomerulonephritis.
In immune-induced inflammation, leukocytes are key mediators of tissue damage. Since A(2A) adenosine receptors (A(2A)Rs) are endogenous suppressors of inflammation, we examined cellular and molecular mechanisms of kidney damage to determine if selective activation of A(2A)R would suppress inflammation in a rat model of glomerulonephritis. Activation of A(2A)R reduced the degree of kidney injury...
متن کاملTracking the A2A adenosine receptor
Background The A2A adenosine receptor has become a drug target in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, psychotic behavior and dementia. In addition, targeted deletion of this receptor in mice leads to hypertension, increased platelet aggregation, male aggressiveness and decreased susceptibility to ischemic brain damage. The potential clinical relevance of this receptor is obvious. The A2A aden...
متن کاملAdenosine A2A receptor activation reduces hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury by inhibiting CD1d-dependent NKT cell activation
Ischemia reperfusion injury results from tissue damage during ischemia and ongoing inflammation and injury during reperfusion. Liver reperfusion injury is reduced by lymphocyte depletion or activation of adenosine A2A receptors (A2ARs) with the selective agonist 4-{3-[6-amino-9-(5-ethylcarbamoyl-3,4-dihydroxy-tetrahydro-furan-2-yl)-9H-purin-2-yl]- prop-2-ynyl}-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid methyl ...
متن کاملRapid modification of the glycocalyx caused by ischemia-reperfusion is inhibited by adenosine A2A receptor activation.
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) has been shown to cause microvascular dysfunction and to alter the appearance of the glycocalyx in electron micrographs. We hypothesized that I/R injury might alter the structure and/or permeability of the glycocalyx. Prior work had shown a role for adenosine in protection from I/R injury, and, therefore, we also explored the idea that activation of the adenosine A(2A...
متن کاملEndocannabinoid signaling mediates psychomotor activation by adenosine A2A antagonists.
Adenosine A(2A) receptor antagonists are psychomotor stimulants that also hold therapeutic promise for movement disorders. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying their stimulant properties are not well understood. Here, we show that the robust increase in locomotor activity induced by an A(2A) antagonist in vivo is greatly attenuated by antagonizing cannabinoid CB(1) receptor signaling or...
