Adenosine-Related Mechanisms in Non-Adenosine Receptor Drugs
Many ligands directly target adenosine receptors (ARs). Here we review the effects of noncanonical AR drugs on adenosinergic signaling. Non-AR mechanisms include raising adenosine levels by inhibiting adenosine transport (e.g., ticagrelor, ethanol, and ...

Evidence for coordinated induction and repression of ecto-5'-nucleotidase (CD73) and the A2a adenosine receptor in a human B cell line [PDF]
In the human B cell line P493-6 two mitogenic signals, the EpsteinBarr virus nuclear antigen 2 (EBNA2) and myc, can be independently regulated by means of an estrogen receptor fusion construct or an inducible expression vector, respectively.

Photoresponsive adenosine derivatives for optical control of adenosine A2A receptor in living cells [PDF]
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.

The Role of Adenosine Receptor Agonists in Regulation of Hematopoiesis
The review summarizes data evaluating the role of adenosine receptor signaling in murine hematopoietic functions. The studies carried out utilized either non-selective activation of adenosine receptors induced by elevation of extracellular adenosine or ...

Activity-dependent adenosine release may be linked to activation of Na+-K+ ATPase : an in vitro rat study [PDF]
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 ...

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 ...

Adenosine-mediated modulation of ventral horn interneurons and spinal motoneurons in neonatal mice [PDF]
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,

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.

A2A adenosine receptor functional states characterized by 19F-NMR
Significance G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling from the extracellular orthosteric drug binding site across the cell membrane to the intracellular contact sites with G proteins and arrestins is enabled by inherent structural plasticity, which ...
