Adenosine inhibits actin dynamics in human neutrophils: evidence for the involvement of cAMP

European Journal of Cell Biology
S Zalavary, T Bengtsson

Abstract

The mechanisms by which adenosine regulates the inflammatory reaction are poorly characterized. In this study, we investigated the effects of adenosine on neutrophil actin polymerization elicited by the chemotactic peptide N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) or IgG-opsonized yeast particles. We used bodipy-phallacidin staining in combination with flow cytometry and found that adenosine markedly reduced actin polymerization triggered by IgG-yeast, whereas the effect on the fMLP-response was less pronounced. Similar or even more pronounced effects were obtained with the adenosine A2 receptor agonist 5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA), suggesting an A2 receptor-mediated mechanism. The following observations indicate that the A2 receptor-induced effects involve the cAMP-protein kinase A (PKA) signaling pathway: (1) a combination of NECA and the cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor Ro 20-1724 raised the cAMP content in both unstimulated and stimulated neutrophils and also further inhibited the actin dynamics; (2) the PKA inhibitor H89 reversed the inhibitory effects of NECA on the actin dynamics; (3) Ro 20-1724, isoproterenol and dibutyryl cAMP (DBcAMP) reduced actin polymerization in almost the same way as ...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
