A2A Adenosine Receptor Antagonism Reverts the Blood-Brain Barrier Dysfunction Induced by Sleep Restriction. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Chronic sleep restriction induces blood-brain barrier disruption and increases pro-inflammatory mediators in rodents. Those inflammatory mediators may modulate the blood-brain barrier and constitute a link between sleep loss and blood-brain barrier ...

Adenosine A(2A) and A(2B) Receptors Differentially Modulate Keratinocyte Proliferation: Possible Deregulation in Psoriatic Epidermis [PDF]

, 2017
Adenosine is a potent regulator of inflammation and immunity, but the role of adenosine receptors in keratinocytes remains controversial. We determined that in addition to A2B receptors, human epidermal keratinocytes also express A2A receptors, although ...

Involvement of Adenosine A2a Receptor in Intraocular Pressure Decrease Induced by 2-(1-Octyn-1-yl)adenosine or 2-(6-Cyano-1-hexyn-1-yl)adenosine

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2005
The aim of the present study is to clarify the mechanism for the decrease in intraocular pressure by 2-alkynyladenosine derivatives in rabbits. The receptor binding analysis revealed that 2-(1-octyn-1-yl)adenosine (2-O-Ado) and 2-(6-cyano-1-hexyn-1-yl ...

An open-label, one-arm, dose-escalation study to evaluate safety and tolerability of extremely low frequency magnetic fields in acute ischemic stroke [PDF]

, 2017
Extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MF) could be an alternative neuroprotective approach for ischemic stroke because preclinical studies have demonstrated their effects on the mechanisms underlying ischemic damage. The purpose of this open-label,

Phenotyping of Mice with Heart Specific Overexpression of A2A-Adenosine Receptors: Evidence for Cardioprotective Effects of A2A-Adenosine Receptors

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
Background: Adenosine can be produced in the heart and acts on cardiac adenosine receptors. One of these receptors is the A2A-adenosine receptor (A2A-AR).Methods and Results: To better understand its role in cardiac function, we generated and ...

The G protein-coupled receptor heterodimer network (GPCR-HetNet) and its hub components [PDF]

, 2014
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) oligomerization has emerged as a vital characteristic of receptor structure. Substantial experimental evidence supports the existence of GPCR-GPCR interactions in a coordinated and cooperative manner.

Adenosine A2a Receptor Regulates Autophagy Flux and Apoptosis to Alleviate Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury via the cAMP/PKA Signaling Pathway

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Exploring effective methods to lessen myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury still has positive significance. The adenosine A2a receptor (A2aR) has played a crucial part in cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury. Previous studies revealed that the adenosine

Glutamate-induced depression of EPSP–spike coupling in rat hippocampal CA1 neurons and modulation by adenosine receptors [PDF]

, 2010
The presence of high concentrations of glutamate in the extracellular fluid following brain trauma or ischaemia may contribute substantially to subsequent impairments of neuronal function.

Adenosine A2A Receptors Modulate Acute Injury and Neuroinflammation in Brain Ischemia

Mediators of Inflammation, 2014
The extracellular concentration of adenosine in the brain increases dramatically during ischemia. Adenosine A2A receptor is expressed in neurons and glial cells and in inflammatory cells (lymphocytes and granulocytes).

A population of immature cerebellar parallel fibre synapses are insensitive to adenosine but are inhibited by hypoxia [PDF]

, 2011
The purine adenosine plays an important role in a number of physiological and pathological processes and is neuroprotective during hypoxia and ischemia.
