Photoresponsive adenosine derivatives for optical control of adenosine A2A receptor in living cells [PDF]
, 2023 Subtype-selective ligands with photoswitchable properties are highly desired for photopharmacology of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). We developed photoswitchable ligands targeting adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR), a GPCR subtype.

Adenosine receptors and asthma [PDF]
British Journal of Pharmacology, 2008 The accumulation of evidence implicating a role for adenosine in the pathogenesis of asthma has led to investigations into all adenosine receptor subtypes as potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of asthma. Selective A1receptor antagonists are currently in preclinical development since adenosine has been shown experimentally to mediate ...

Adenosine Receptors and Cancer [PDF]
, 2009 The A(1), A(2A), A(2B) and A(3) G-protein-coupled cell surface adenosine receptors (ARs) are found to be upregulated in various tumor cells. Activation of the receptors by specific ligands, agonists or antagonists, modulates tumor growth via a range of signaling pathways.

Role of cGMP as second messenger of adenosine in the inhibition of renin release [PDF]
, 1988 Adenosine is known to be a potent inhibitor of renin release from the kidneys. The aim of this study was to investigate the transmembrane signalling avenue that the second messenger of adenosine causes inhibition of renal renin release.

Stimulation of glia reveals modulation of mammalian spinal motor networks by adenosine [PDF]
, 2015 This work was funded by the Wellcome Trust Institutional Strategic Support Fund for University of St. Andrews.Despite considerable evidence that glia can release modulators to influence the excitability of neighbouring neurons, the importance of ...

Activity-dependent adenosine release may be linked to activation of Na+-K+ ATPase : an in vitro rat study [PDF]
, 2014 In the brain, extracellular adenosine increases as a result of neuronal activity. The mechanisms by which this occurs are only incompletely understood. Here we investigate the hypothesis that the Na+ influxes associated with neuronal signalling activate ...

Adenosine-mediated modulation of ventral horn interneurons and spinal motoneurons in neonatal mice [PDF]
, 2015 The authors are grateful for support from the Wellcome Trust.Neuromodulation allows neural networks to adapt to varying environmental and biomechanical demands. Purinergic signalling is known to be an important modulatory system in many parts of the CNS,

Sleep-wake sensitive mechanisms of adenosine release in the basal forebrain of rodents : an in vitro study [PDF]
, 2013 Adenosine acting in the basal forebrain is a key mediator of sleep homeostasis. Extracellular adenosine concentrations increase during wakefulness, especially during prolonged wakefulness and lead to increased sleep pressure and subsequent rebound sleep.

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.

Annual Review of Physiology, 1992 Our knowledge of A1 and A2ARs has grown dramatically since they were first defined by Burnstock. With the recent purification of the A1AR and the cDNA cloning of the A2AR, an even more rapid expansion of information regarding their structure, function, and regulation should now ensue.
