Adenosine A3 receptor expression and function in eosinophils

Abstract

The A3 adenosine receptor is widely expressed in human tissues with the most abundant expression in the lung and liver, but the predominant cellular localization and functions of this receptor in humans are unknown. Since adenosine influences the activation of circulating and resident inflammatory cells within the lung and leads to exaggerated airway narrowing in individuals with inflammatory airway disorders, we hypothesized that A3 receptor gene expression is localized to inflammatory cells and that gene expression is upregulated in airway inflammation. Lung and airway tissue were obtained at thoracotomy from nonsmoking subjects and subjects with inflammatory airway disorders associated with tobacco smoke or asthma. In situ hybridization identified A3 receptors in mesenchymal cells and eosinophils within the lamina propria of the airways and the adventitia of blood vessels, but not in mast cells. A3 receptor transcripts were highly expressed in peripheral blood eosinophils purified from atopic donors (6.36 +/- 0.60 pg/microg total RNA) in comparison with neutrophils (0.26 +/- 0.06 pg/microg) or mononuclear cells (0.9 +/- 0.15 pg/microg). Mean A3 receptor transcript abundance was greater in lung tissue from subjects with airwa...Continue Reading

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus.
