چکیده

adenosine acts as neuromodulator in the brain, which its involvement in a wide range of brain processes and diseases has been studied, such as epilepsy, sleep, anxiety, panic disorder, alzheimer’s disease, parkinson’s disease and schizophrenia. adenosine receptors have been detected: a1r, a2ar (a2ar), a2br, and a3r. a1r and a2r inhibit camp production, while a2ar and a2br stimulate camp production. these receptors are distributed in various areas of the central nervous system. a2ar is highly expressed in the olfactory bulb, caudate putamen, nucleus accumbens, and tuberculum olfactorium. the function of several receptors such as dopamine d2 receptor (d2r) is influenced by activation of adenosine a2a receptor. three distinct dopamine projection pathways are formed from the substantia nigra–ventral tegmental area complex. mesocortical pathway and mesolimbic pathway are known as first and second pathways. axons project to the striatum, described nigrostriatal pathway known as third pathway. this pathway completes the neural circuits of the basal ganglia responsible for motor control, although recent document also points to a very important role in the motor changes associated with severe depression. adenosine a2a receptor and d2r are co-localized in the dorsal and ventral striatum and are mutual inhibitors. on one hand, a2ar–d2r heteromers are formed and, when the a2ar is activated, conformational changes are transferred to the d2r. this ultimate to a reduction in d2r recognition and signaling on the other hand, d2r activation inhibits camp mediated-effects of a2ar by inhibiting adenylyl-cyclase. finally, recant study showed that a2ar overexpression is associated with depression, which may describe the depressive signs seen in aging, chronic stress, and alzheimer’s disease. we hypothesized that changes in expression of a2ar in nigrostriatal system may contribute in creation of depression with motor disorders.

P138: Are Depression and Anxiety Affected by Adenosine A2A Receptors?

Adenosine acts as neuromodulator in the brain, which its involvement in a wide range of brain processes and diseases has been studied, such as epilepsy, sleep, anxiety, panic disorder, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and schizophrenia. Adenosine receptors have been detected: A1R, A2AR (A2AR), A2BR, and A3R. A1R and A2R inhibit cAMP production, while A2AR and A2BR stimulate cAMP product...

Overexpression of Adenosine A2A Receptors in Rats: Effects on Depression, Locomotion, and Anxiety

Adenosine A2A receptors (A2AR) are a sub-type of receptors enriched in basal ganglia, activated by the neuromodulator adenosine, which interact with dopamine D2 receptors. Although this reciprocal antagonistic interaction is well-established in motor function, the outcome in dopamine-related behaviors remains uncertain, in particular in depression and anxiety. We have demonstrated an upsurge of...

Adenosine A2a receptors induce heterologous desensitization of chemokine receptors.

Adenosine, released by cells in an injurious or hypoxic environment, possesses potent anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the production of proinflammatory cytokines and superoxide anions (O2-). We hypothesized that adenosine compounds also induced heterologous desensitization of chemokine receptors, which played a critical role in leukocyte trafficking. Our studies using adenosine receptor...

Phenotyping of Mice with Heart Specific Overexpression of A2A-Adenosine Receptors: Evidence for Cardioprotective Effects of A2A-Adenosine Receptors

Background: Adenosine can be produced in the heart and acts on cardiac adenosine receptors. One of these receptors is the A2A-adenosine receptor (A2A-AR). Methods and Results: To better understand its role in cardiac function, we generated and characterized mice (A2A-TG) which overexpress the human A2A-AR in cardiomyocytes. In isolated atrial preparations from A2A-TG but not from WT, CGS 21680,...
