Enhancement of erythropoietin production by selective adenosine A2 receptor agonists in response to hypoxia.
    The Journal of laboratory and clinical medicine, 1995, Volume: 126, Issue:3

    The purpose of this study was to characterize the effects of two new adenosine A2 agonists, 2-(p-(2-carboxyethyl)phenethyl amino)-5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (CGS-21680) and N6-(2(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-(2-methylphenyl)ethyl)-adenosine (DPMA), on erythropoietin (EPO) production in vivo and in vitro. Intravenous injections of CGS-21680 (100 to 500 nmol/kg mouse/day) and DPMA (50 to 500 nmol/kg mouse/day) for 4 days produced significant increases in serum levels of EPO in exhypoxic polycythemic mice. CGS-21680 (10(-7) to 10(-6) mol/L) and DPMA (10(-8) to 10(-5) mol/L) also produced significant increases in medium levels of EPO in a cloned EPO-producing Hep3B hepatocellular carcinoma cell line after 18 hours of incubation in 1% O2. Both compounds also increased cellular cAMP levels significantly in a dose-dependent manner after 1 hour of incubation. A2 receptor binding assays with tritiated CGS-21680 revealed a single type of adenosine receptor binding site on Hep3B cell membranes with a dissociation constant of 132.9 nmol/L and a binding capacity of 270.6 fmol/mg protein. The Ki competition binding values versus tritiated CGS-21680 were 217 nmol/L for CGS-21680 and 86.8 nmol/L for DPMA. These results indicate that adenosine A2 receptor activation amplifies EPO production in response to hypoxia, both in vivo and in vitro.
