ICP Elevation Can Induce Rapid Tolerance Associated with Adenosine A1 Receptor Activation Subjected to Focal Cerebral Ischemia in Rats.

We investigated the role of adenosine A1-receptor in the regulation of basolateral Na(+)-3HCO3- cotransporter in the rabbit proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) microperfused in vitro by monitoring basolateral membrane potential and intracellular pH. FK-453, a highly specific A1 antagonist, inhibited basolateral HCO3- conductance in a concentration-dependent manner (10(-10)-10(-5) M). Other A1 antagonists, 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX) at 10(-5) M and theophylline at 10(-3) M, also had similar effects. N6-cyclohexyladenosine (CHA) at 10(-7) M attenuated the effect of low concentration (10(-8) M) of FK-453. Either enhancement of the degradation of adenosine by 0.1 U/ml adenosine deaminase (ADA) or inhibition of adenosine release from the cells by 10(-6) M S-(4-nitrobenzyl)-6-thioinosine (NBTI) mimicked the effects of A1 antagonists. These observations suggest that endogenous adenosine is released from PCT cells and stimulates Na(+)-3HCO3- cotransporter. Both 10(-4) M 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (CPT-cAMP) and 10(-6) M forskolin also inhibited basolateral HCO3- conductance. Both 10(-6) M FK-453 and 10(-4) M CPT-cAMP decreased the initial rate as well as the magnitude of intracellular acidification induced by reduction of peritubular HCO3- concentration from 25 to 0 mM. Neither 10(-6) M FK-453 nor 10(-7) M CHA changed intracellular Ca2+ concentration as measured by fura-2 fluorescence. These results indicate that adenosine might stimulate HCO3- exit across the basolateral membrane through Na(+)-3HCO3- cotransporter by decreasing intracellular cAMP via A1-receptor activation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Rabbit Ventricular Myocytes

The objective of the present study was to characterize the role of adenosine in the regulation of ATP-sensitive K (KATP) channel activity in isolated rabbit ventricular myocytes using the patch-clamp technique. In an outside-out patch exposed to guanosine 5'-triphosphate and ATP at the intracellular surface, external adenosine stimulated KATP channel activity. In an inside-out patch exposed to external adenosine, ATP reduced KATP channel activity and guanosine 5'-triphosphate stimulated KATP channel activity. Guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) resulted in a gradual increase of KATP channel activity even in the absence of adenosine. When myocytes were preincubated with pertussis toxin or 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine, adenosine A1 receptor activation failed to activate the KATP channel. Analysis of the open and closed time distributions showed that adenosine A1 receptor activation increased burst duration and decreased interburst duration. In a dose-response relationship for ATP, adenosine A1 receptor activation shifted the half-maximal inhibition of the KATP channel from 70 to 241 microM.
