Adenosine and adenosine antagonism in asthma [PDF]

Thorax, 1998
I read with interest the excellent update on adenosine by Polosa and Holgate.1 An important use of this challenge agent is demonstrated and adenosine antagonism as a potential treatment for asthma is revisited. However, the role of adenosine as a mediator of asthma is somewhat inconsistent with several functional observations.

Treatment With Methotrexate Associated With Lipid Core Nanoparticles Prevents Aortic Dilation in a Murine Model of Marfan Syndrome

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
In Marfan syndrome (MFS), dilation, dissection, and rupture of the aorta occur. Inflammation can be involved in the pathogenicity of aortic defects and can thus be a therapeutic target for MFS.

Adenosine Dysfunction and Adenosine Kinase in Epileptogenesis [PDF]

The Open Neuroscience Journal, 2010
Traditionally, epilepsy has been considered to be a disorder of neuronal dysfunction. Based on this dogma, drug development efforts have largely focused on neurocentric model systems to screen for compounds that affect the function of neurons. Unfortunately, about 30% of all patients with epilepsy - or more than 20 million worldwide - are refractory to

Adenosine and Migraine [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Journal Canadien des Sciences Neurologiques, 1998
ABSTRACT:Background:Adenosine is a powerful natural vasodilator that participates in the control of cerebral and meningeal blood flow. In this context, it could be involved in the pathophysiology of migraine, since it was previously reported that intravenous adenosine can precipitate crises in migraine patients.Methods:We have investigated circulating ...

Exacerbation of Allergic Airway Inflammation in Mice Lacking ECTO-5′-Nucleotidase (CD73)

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
The airways are a target tissue of type I allergies and atopy is the main etiological factor of bronchial asthma. A predisposition to allergy and individual response to allergens are dependent upon environmental and host factors.

Adenosine and Sleep [PDF]

Current Neuropharmacology, 2009
Over the last several decades the idea that adenosine (Ado) plays a role in sleep control was postulated due in large part to pharmacological studies that showed the ability of Ado agonists to induce sleep and Ado antagonists to decrease sleep. A second wave of research involving in vitro cellular analytic approaches and subsequently, the use of ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

PAP and NT5E inhibit nociceptive neurotransmission by rapidly hydrolyzing nucleotides to adenosine

Molecular Pain, 2011
Background Prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) and ecto-5'-nucleotidase (NT5E, CD73) produce extracellular adenosine from the nucleotide AMP in spinal nociceptive (pain-sensing) circuits; however, it is currently unknown if these are the main ...
