Adenosine and Adenosine Analogues

چکیده
Adenosine receptors that modulate adenylate cyclase activity have been identified recently in a number of tissues. The purpose of these investigations was to determine the effect of adenosine on ion transport in rabbit ileum in vitro. Adenosine and some of its analogues were found to increase the short circuit current (Isc) and the order of potency was N-ethylcarboxamide-adenosine 2 2-chloroadenosine > phenylisopropyladenosine > adenosine. Purine-intact adenosine analogues had no effect on Isc. The effect of adenosine on Isc was enhanced by deoxycoformycin, an adenosine deaminase inhibitor, and by dipyridamole, an adenosine uptake inhibitor. The increase in Isc induced by 2chloroadenosine was partially reversed in a dose-dependent manner by 8-phenyltheophylline but not by theophylline or isobutylmethylxanthine. 2-Chloroadenosine increased cyclic AMP content, and stimulated net Cl secretion; these effects were partially blocked by 8phenyltheophylline. These results suggest that there is an adenosine receptor on rabbit ileal mucosal cells that stimulates adenylate cyclase, which results in secondary active Cl secretion.

These and other effects of adenosine are antagonized by methylxanthines and potentiated by adenosine uptake inhibitors, suggesting an external receptor (8-10). Additionally, adenosine analogues that are taken up poorly by cells can have potent metabolic effects (11, 12), further suggesting an external receptor. Present evidence suggests that there are two adenosine receptors that modulate adenylate cyclase activity (Fig. 1) (810). One has a high affinity for adenosine, inhibits adenylate cyclase activity, and is termed the A, receptor by Van Calker et al. (13) and the R, receptor by Londos et al. (8). The other class of receptors has a lower affinity for adenosine, stimulates adenylate cyclase, and has been termed the A2 or Ra' receptor. A lower affinity internal "P site," which inhibits the catalytic unit of adenylate cyclase, has also been postulated (14). Recently, Forrest and collaborators (15-17) demonstrated that methylxanthine-sensitive adenosine receptors mediate chloride secretion and cyclic AMP accumulation in the elasmobranch rectal gland. Spinowitz and Zandunaisky (18) previously found that chloride transport in the amphibian cornea is increased by adenosine. Because secondary active chloride transport is common to several epithelia, including amphibian cornea, elasmobranch rectal gland, and mammalian intestine (19), we studied the effects of adenosine on ion transport in the rabbit ileum. Our studies provide the first evidence for adenosine-mediated cyclic AMP-dependent chloride transport in a mammalian epithelium.

Selective Inhibitory Effect of Adenosine A1 Receptor Agonists on the Proliferation of Human Tumor Cell Lines
Background: In this study, the effects of three structural analogues of adenosine upon proliferation of human tumor cells were investigated. Previous research showed a cytotoxic effect of adenosine via A3 receptor and A1 receptor and sometimes this effect was receptor independent. The researches showed a differential cytotoxic effect of adenosine and its A3 agonists on cancerous cells, while ot...

It is well known that the metabolic factors play an important role in the regulation of angiogenesis. Increased metabolic activity leads to decreased oxygen levels and causes tissue hypoxia. Hypoxia starts different signals to stimulate angiogenesis and promotes oxygen delivery to tissues. It has been suggested that released adenosine from hypoxic tissues plays a vital role in angiogenesis. ...
