Molecular cloning and characterization of the human A3 adenosine receptor.
The human A3 adenosine receptor was cloned from a striatal cDNA library using a probe derived from the homologous rat sequence. The cDNA encodes a protein of 318 amino acids and exhibits 72% and 85% overall identity with the rat and sheep A3 adenosine receptor sequences, respectively. Specific and saturable binding of the adenosine receptor agonist N6-(4-amino-3-[125I]iodobenzyl)adenosine [125I...
متن کاملAdenosine A3 Receptor and Cardioprotection
Ischemic injury to the myocardium is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality around the globe.1 It is worth remembering, however, that this insult to the heart emerged only in the last few centuries, an instant in time from an evolutionary perspective. Thus, any cardioprotective responses to ischemic injury undoubtedly evolved for an entirely different purpose. Beyond pure academic interest,...
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 کاملThe A3 adenosine receptor: history and perspectives.
By general consensus, the omnipresent purine nucleoside adenosine is considered a major regulator of local tissue function, especially when energy supply fails to meet cellular energy demand. Adenosine mediation involves activation of a family of four G protein-coupled adenosine receptors (ARs): A(1), A(2)A, A(2)B, and A(3). The A(3) adenosine receptor (A(3)AR) is the only adenosine subtype to ...
متن کاملA physiological role of the adenosine A3 receptor: sustained cardioprotection.
Adenosine released during cardiac ischemia exerts a potent, protective effect in the heart. A newly recognized adenosine receptor, the A3 subtype, is expressed on the cardiac ventricular cell, and its activation protects the ventricular heart cell against injury during a subsequent exposure to ischemia. A cultured chicken ventricular myocyte model was used to investigate the cardioprotective ro...
