PG - 3991-8 AB - We and others have shown that adenosine, acting at its receptors, is a potent modulator of inflammation and angiogenesis. To better understand the regulation of adenosine receptors during these processes we studied the effects of IL-1, TNF-alpha, and IFN-gamma on expression and function of adenosine receptors and select members of their coupling G proteins in human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC). HMVEC expressed message and protein for A(2A) and A(2B), but not A(1) or A(3) receptors. IL-1 and TNF-alpha treatment increased message and protein expression of A(2A) and A(2B) receptor. IFN-gamma treatment also increased the expression of A(2B) receptors, but decreased expression of A(2A) receptors. Resting HMVEC and IFN-gamma-treated cells showed minimal cAMP response to the selective A(2A) receptor agonist 2-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)ethoxy]adenosine (MRE0094). In contrast, MRE0094 stimulated a dose-dependent increase in cAMP levels in TNF-alpha-treated cells that was almost completely blocked by the A(2A) receptor antagonist ZM-241385 (4-[2-[7-amino-2-(2-furyl)[1,2,4]triazolo-[2,3-a][1,3,5]triazin-5-ylamino]ethyl]phenol). The nonselective adenosine receptor agonist 5'-(N-ethylcarboxamido)adenosine increased cAMP levels in both TNF-alpha- and IFN-gamma-treated cells, but not control cells, and its effect was only partially reversed by ZM-241385 in TNF-alpha-treated cells and not affected in IFN-gamma-treated cells. HMVEC expressed a higher level of G protein beta1 isoform than beta4 isoform. Although none of the cytokines tested affected G(beta1) expression, both IL-1 and TNF-alpha significantly up-regulated G(beta4) expression. These findings indicate that inflammatory cytokines modulate adenosine receptor expression and function on HMVECs and suggest that the interaction between proinflammatory cytokines and adenosine receptors may affect therapeutic responses to anti-inflammatory drugs that act via adenosine-dependent mechanisms.
