Adenosine inhibits growth of human aortic smooth muscle cells via A2B receptors.
Adenosine inhibits rat vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) growth. However, the effects of adenosine on human vascular SMC proliferation and synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins, such as collagen, are unknown. The objective of this study was to characterize the effects of exogenous and endogenous (SMC-derived) adenosine on human aortic SMC proliferation and collagen synthesis. Growth-arrest...
متن کاملCardioprotection by ecto-5'-nucleotidase (CD73) and A2B adenosine receptors.
BACKGROUND Ecto-5'-nucleotidase (CD73)-dependent adenosine generation has been implicated in tissue protection during acute injury. Once generated, adenosine can activate cell-surface adenosine receptors (A1 AR, A2A AR, A2B AR, A3 AR). In the present study, we define the contribution of adenosine to cardioprotection by ischemic preconditioning. METHODS AND RESULTS On the basis of observations...
متن کاملThe influence of brain inflammation upon neuronal adenosine A2B receptors.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with glial activation and increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Epidemiological results suggest that anti-inflammatory therapies can slow the onset of AD. Adenosine, acting at type-2 receptors, is an effective endogenous anti-inflammatory agent that can modulate inflammation both in the periphery and the brain. We investigated changes in the expr...
متن کاملBlockade of adenosine A2B receptors ameliorates murine colitis
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The adenosine 2B (A2B) receptor is the predominant adenosine receptor expressed in the colon. Acting through the A2B receptor, adenosine mediates chloride secretion, as well as fibronectin and interleukin (IL)-6 synthesis and secretion in intestinal epithelial cells. A2B receptor mRNA and protein expression are increased during human and murine colitis. However, the effec...
