Adenosine receptors and cancer

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2011
Adenosine is a ubiquitous signaling molecule whose physiological functions are mediated by its interaction with four G-protein-coupled receptor subtypes, termed A(1), A(2A), A(2B) and A(3). As a result of increased metabolic rates, this nucleoside is released from a variety of cells throughout the body in concentrations that can have a profound impact ...

Agonist-bound adenosine A2A receptor structures reveal common features of GPCR activation

Nature, 2011
Adenosine receptors and β-adrenoceptors are G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that activate intracellular G proteins on binding the agonists adenosine or noradrenaline, respectively.

Pioglitazone plus (−)‐epigallocatechin gallate: a novel approach to enhance osteogenic performance in aged bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Aged human bmMSCs are seeded in the scaffold. Osteoblastic induction can slightly increase cell's bone‐forming activity to produce bone‐like tissues, shown as the sporadic xylenol orange‐stained spots (the lower left image). Notably, pioglitazone plus EGCG co‐treatment dramatically increases cell's bone‐forming activity and bone‐like tissue production (

Impairment of adenosine signaling disrupts early embryo development: unveiling the underlying mechanisms

Frontiers in Pharmacology
Purinergic signaling has been implicated in many biological functions, including development. In this study, we investigate the functions of extracellular adenosine and adenosine receptors using a mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC) line and morula stages ...

Rolofylline, an adenosine A1−receptor antagonist, in acute heart failure [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Worsening renal function, which is associated with adverse outcomes, often develops in patients with acute heart failure. Experimental and clinical studies suggest that counterregulatory responses mediated by adenosine may be involved. We

The role of lipid metabolism in neuronal senescence

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Disrupted lipid metabolism, through alterations in lipid species or lipid droplet accumulation, can drive neuronal senescence. However, lipid dyshomeostasis can also occur alongside neuronal senescence, further amplifying tissue damage. Delineating how lipid‐induced senescence emerges in neurons and glial cells, and how it contributes to ageing and ...

Adenosine Receptors and Wound Healing, Revised

The Scientific World Journal, 2006
Recent studies have demonstrated that application of topical adenosine A2A receptor agonists promotes more rapid wound closure and clinical studies are currently underway to determine the utility of topical A2A adenosine receptor agonists in the therapy ...

Adenosine A2A Receptor Deletion Blocks the Beneficial Effects of Lactobacillus reuteri in Regulatory T-Deficient Scurfy Mice

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
The lack of a functional Foxp3 transcription factor and regulatory T (Treg) cells causes lethal, CD4+ T cell-driven autoimmune diseases in scurfy (SF) mice and humans.

SNUPN‐Related Muscular Dystrophy: Novel Phenotypic, Pathological and Functional Protein Insights

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective SNUPN‐related muscular dystrophy or LGMDR29 is a new entity that covers from a congenital or childhood onset pure muscular dystrophy to more complex phenotypes combining neurodevelopmental features, cataracts, or spinocerebellar ataxia. So far, 12 different variants have been described.
