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...
متن کاملRole of Adenosine receptor in lung cancer
Summary: Adenosine through adenosine receptor have a crucial role in biology of lung cancer. Recent study indicated adenosine receptors have a crucial role in various aspect of lung cancer from cell growth and metastasis to modulation of apoptosis and it could be considered as a potential candidate for treatment of the lung cancer.
متن کاملEffects of adenosine A2a receptor agonist and antagonist on cere-bellar nuclear factor-kBexpression preceded by MDMA toxicity
Background :Adenosine is an endogenous purine nucleoside that has a neuromodulatory role in the central nervous system. The amphetamine derivative (±)-3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA or ecstasy) is a synthetic amphetamine analogue used recreationally to obtain an enhanced affiliated emotional response. MDMA is a potent monoaminergic neurotoxin with the potential of damage to brain neu...
متن کاملThymoquinone, the main constituent of Nigella sativa, affects adenosine receptors in asthmatic guinea pigs
Objective(s): For determining the mechanism of anti-asthmatic effect of thymoquinone, this investigation evaluated the effect of thymoquinone in the presence of selective A2A and A2B adenosine receptor antagonists (ZM241385 and MRS1706, respectively). Materials and Methods: Seventy guinea pigs were randomly divided to 7 groups; control (C), sensitized with ovalbumin (S), sensitized groups pretr...
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...
