Does the adenosine A2A receptor stimulate the ryanodine receptor?
A recent paper in Cardiovascular Research from HoveMadsen and colleagues [1] has investigated the role of the adenosine A2A receptor in human atrial myocytes. Elegant confocal images show that this receptor is localized at the level of the Z line in the myocyte. Their paper then proceeds to address an important physiological question; the role of this receptor. No effect was found on the amplit...
متن کاملReply: Does the adenosine A2A receptor stimulate the ryanodine receptor?
at Penylvania State U niersity on Feruary 3, 2013 ascres.odjournals.org/ In our paper on the expression and function of the adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) in human atrial myocytes [1], we show that agonist stimulation of this receptor induces a protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent increase in the frequency of calcium sparks and spontaneous calcium waves. We therefore investigated whether A2AR stimul...
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 کاملThe A2A adenosine receptor mediates coronary vasodilation.
The coronary vasodilation caused by adenosine is due to activation of A2 adenosine receptors (A2AdoRs), but the subtype or subtypes of A2AdoR (A2A and/or A2B) that mediate this action are uncertain. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that A2AAdoRs mediate coronary vasodilation caused by exogenous or endogenous adenosine in the guinea pig isolated perfused heart. The newly desc...
متن کاملBiophysical Mapping of the Adenosine A2A Receptor
A new approach to generating information on ligand receptor interactions within the binding pocket of G protein-coupled receptors has been developed, called Biophysical Mapping (BPM). Starting from a stabilized receptor (StaR), minimally engineered for thermostability, additional single mutations are then added at positions that could be involved in small molecule interactions. The StaR and a p...
