摘要: Adenosine is an extracellular signaling molecule that generated in response to cell injury where it orchestrates tissue protection and repair. Whereas adenosine best known for promoting anti-inflammatory activities during acute responses, prolonged elevations can enhance destructive remodeling processes associated with chronic disease states. The generation of the subsequent activation 2B receptor (A2BR) important regulation both lung disease. goal this study was examine contribution A2BR models bleomycin-induced exhibit varying degrees injury. Intratracheal bleomycin exposure results substantial followed by progressive fibrosis. In model, genetic removal resulted enhanced loss barrier function increased pulmonary inflammation, few differences indexes These support role model contrast, systemic mice modest together effects on were negligible; however, there reductions fibrosis, supporting a profibrotic receptor. A2BR-dependent IL-6 production identified as potential mechanism involved diminished fibrosis seen knockout exposed i.p. bleomycin. studies highlight distinct roles stages
