“…Second, although the well-established antiplatelet effects of adenosine are attributed to A 2 receptor activation on the platelet surface, [22][23][24] our use of the nonspecific antagonist PD precludes the precise confirmation of the receptor subtype involved. Similarly, we cannot specify the site of action of adenosine: rather than activating platelet A 2 receptors per se, adenosine may have attenuated later platelet-mediated thrombosis in an indirect manner by, for example, reducing the release of superoxide anions (known to promote platelet aggregation and adhesion) 11,34 from neutrophils.…”

“…The adenosine antagonists, 8-PT and DPCPX were specifically investigated to reinforce the receptor classification based on agonist potencies in this study, since they are able to differentiate between Al and A2 receptors. For instance, binding studies (see review by Van Galen et al, 1992) have established that 8-PT shows a small degree of selectivity for Al compared to A2 sites (Ki = 86 nM at A1 and 850 nM at A2) while DPCPX in contrast is highly selective for Al sites (Ki = 0.5 nM at Al and 340 nM at A2). The difference between the affinities and selectivity ratios of the two antagonists is also apparent in intact tissues where 8-PT is non-selective for Al and A2 receptors, whilst DPCPX has a 30-50 fold greater affinity for Al but is equi-effective with 8-PT at A2 receptors .…”

“…Although less is known about the A 3 -AdoR, it has been reported that this AdoR subtype mediates an inhibition of adenylyl cyclase and a stimulation of phospholipase C, resulting in an elevation of inositol phosphates (5, 6). The characterization, function, and regulation of the AdoRs have been greatly facilitated by the development of potent and selective agonists and antagonists (1,7,8). …”

“…by cell surface receptors and at least four subtypes, designated A 1 , A 2A, A 2B , and A 3 , have been identified, with each subtype mediating cellular effects by coupling to G proteins (1)(2)(3)(4). The AdoR regulates the activity of several cellular components, including inhibition of adenylyl cyclase activity, stimulation of phospholipases A 2 and C, and guanylyl cyclase, and regulates the ion permeability of calcium and potassium channels (2)(3)(4).…”
