Elevated expression of adenosine A1 receptor in bronchial biopsy specimens from asthmatic subjects.
Asthmatics, unlike healthy subjects, experience bronchoconstriction in response to inhaled adenosine, and extracellular adenosine concentrations are elevated in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and exhaled breath condensate of asthmatic subjects. However, little is known about the location and expression of adenosine receptors in asthmatic airways. The aim of the present study was to investigat...
متن کاملThe Effect of Aerobic Training and Adenosine on the Expression of SREBP-1C and A1 Receptor in Hepatic Fat-fed Rats
Background and Objectives: Few studies have examined so far the effect of adenosine receptors’ injection and its downstream pathway on the liver’s fat metabolism. The aim of this study was to investigate the type of aerobic exercise and adenosine on the expression of sterol regulatory binding protein 1c SREBP-1c and the adenosine receptor A1 in the liver in the rats fed with high-fat foods. Mat...
متن کاملENHANCED HISTAMINE H I RECEPTOR BLOCKADE WITH CHLORPHENIRAMINE IN THE ASTHMATIC TRACHEO-BRONCHIAL TREE: FURTHER EVIDENCE FOR INCREASED DRUG DELIVERY IN ASTHMA
We have measured the competitive antagonistic effect of chlorpheniramine in bronchi of 8 normal and 12 asthmatic subjects. Classical pharmacological theory states that the degree of competitive antagonism depends only upon 1) antagonist concentration at the receptor, and 2) receptor affinity. Delivery and affinity also influence agonist responsiveness, but measurement of bronchial antagoni...
متن کاملThe expression of stem cell factor and c-kit receptor in human asthmatic airways.
BACKGROUND Asthmatic airways are characterized by infiltration with a variety of inflammatory cells such as mast cells and eosinophils. Stem cell factor (SCF) is an important activating and chemotactic factor for both mast cells and eosinophils. In addition, it is a critical growth and differentiation factor for mast cells. OBJECTIVES To investigate the contribution of SCF to the pathogenesis...
متن کاملSelective 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...
