Allosteric interactions between agonists and antagonists within the adenosine A2A receptor-dopamine D2 receptor heterotetramer.
Adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR)-dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) heteromers are key modulators of striatal neuronal function. It has been suggested that the psychostimulant effects of caffeine depend on its ability to block an allosteric modulation within the A2AR-D2R heteromer, by which adenosine decreases the affinity and intrinsic efficacy of dopamine at the D2R. We describe novel unsuspected allost...
متن کاملRescue of locomotor impairment in dopamine D2 receptor-deficient mice by an adenosine A2A receptor antagonist.
In Parkinson's disease a degeneration of dopaminergic neurons of the nigrostriatal pathway is observed. Loss of dopaminergic regulation of striatal neuron activity results in altered motor functions. Adenosine A2A (A2AR) and dopamine D2 (D2R) receptors are colocalized in striatal medium spiny neurons. It has been proposed that adenosine binding to A2AR lowers the affinity of dopamine for D2R, t...
متن کاملReceptor heteromerization in adenosine A2A receptor signaling: relevance for striatal function and Parkinson's disease.
Recently evidence has been presented that adenosine A2A and dopamine D2 receptors form functional heteromeric receptor complexes as demonstrated in human neuroblastoma cells and mouse fibroblast Ltk- cells. These A2A/D2 heteromeric receptor complexes undergo coaggregation, cointernalization, and codesensitization on D2 or A2A receptor agonist treatments and especially after combined agonist tre...
متن کاملSensitization of neuronal A2A adenosine receptors after persistent D2 dopamine receptor activation.
Acute activation of Galpha(i/o)-coupled D2 dopamine receptors inhibits A2A adenosine receptor stimulation of adenylate cyclase. This antagonistic interaction between D2 dopamine and A2A adenosine receptors has been well documented; however, the effects of persistent activation of D2 dopamine receptors on subsequent A2A adenosine receptor signaling have not been explored. The present study inves...
متن کاملAdenosine A2A-dopamine D2 receptor heteromers operate striatal function: impact on Parkinson's disease pharmacotherapeutics
The basal ganglia (BG) assemble a series of deep gray matter structures forming recurrent loops that include the cortex and thalamus, and that participate in the regulation of a plethora of brain functions, including elicitation and learning of reward-and aversive stimuli-associated behaviors, motor activity control and sensorimotor gating (Bromberg-Martin et al., 2010). The striatum is the mai...
