Inhibitory effect of 8-(3-chlorostryryl) caffeine on levodopa-induced motor fluctuation is associated with intracellular signaling pathway in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats
2009, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :Recent work has demonstrated the importance of phospho-Thr34-DARPP-32 in the regulation of ERK1/2 (Valjent et al., 2005). It is also reported that adenosine A2A receptor activation leads to the activation of ERK1/2 (Arslan and Fredholm, 2000; Wyatt et al., 2002) and ERK1/2 is implicated in the A2A receptor mediated cell survival pathway. However, there have been very few reports about whether the two proteins are involved in the locomotor effects of A2A antagonist in levodopa-induced motor complication.
Neural regulation of lacrimal gland secretory processes: Relevance in dry eye diseases
2009, Progress in Retinal and Eye ResearchCitation Excerpt :Additional AKAPs are undoubtedly present in the lacrimal gland contributing to the specificity of cAMP-dependent signaling. Similarly to cholinergic agonists, in multiple tissues VIP is known to alter MAPK activity either by stimulating or inhibiting this enzyme (Burgering et al., 1993; Cook and McCormick, 1993; Wu et al., 1993; Chen and Iyengar, 1994; Arslan and Fredholm, 2000; Yamaguchi et al., 2000; Stork and Schmitt, 2002). In the lacrimal gland VIP inhibits MAPK activity as do compounds that increase cellular cAMP levels such as membrane permeable cAMP analogs and activators of adenylyl cyclase (Funaki et al., 2007).
Cell death in rat cerebellar granule neurons induced by hydrogen peroxide in vitro: Mechanisms and protection by adenosine receptor ligands
2007, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :The protection by A1 receptor activation or A2A receptor blockade in this study further suggests that the mechanisms of adenosine protection against glutamate-induced excitotoxicity could involve antioxidant action and that oxidative stress might be a critical downstream effector. In contrast, no neuroprotection was found with A2A receptor activation in this study, although in vivo data have shown that both adenosine A2A receptor agonists and antagonists are neuroprotective, with the protection elicited by A2A receptor activation involving multiple mechanisms (Cronstein et al., 1985; Lafon-Cazal et al., 1993; Reynolds and Hastings, 1995; Patel et al., 1996; Cunha and Ribeiro, 2000; Arslan et al., 1997; Arslan and Fredholm, 2000; Heese et al., 1997; Lee and Chao, 2001). Overall, this study demonstrates the profound susceptibility of neurons to H2O2-induced oxidative damage, which involves activation of both apoptotic and necrotic pathways and also provides evidence of the promising potential of adenosine receptors in mediating protection, thus advancing the prospect of finding suitable therapeutic interventions for the treatment of neurological and neurodegenerative conditions characterized by increased levels of reactive oxygen species.
