We examined the effect of the A3 adenosine receptor (AR) agonist IB-MECA on infarct size in an open-chest anesthetized dog model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Dogs were subjected to 60 min of left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery occlusion and

Multivalent dendrimeric conjugates of GPCR ligands may have increased potency or selectivity in comparison to monomeric ligands, a phenomenon that was tested in a model of cytoprotection in mouse HL-1 cardiomyocytes. Quantitative RT-PCR indicated high expression levels of endogenous A(1)

The sensitivity of cancer cells which exhibit multi-drug resistance phenotype to A3 adenosine receptor (A3AR) agonist N(6)-(3-iodobenzyl)-adenosine-5'-N-methylcarboxamide (IB-MECA) was studied. To establish direct relationship between P-glycoprotein (P-gp, ABCB1 and MDR1) expression and IB-MECA induced cell death, a straightforward method for

Extracellular adenosine concentrations increase within the heart during ischemia, and any exogenous adenosine receptor agonists therefore work in the context of significant local agonist concentrations. We evaluated the interactions between A1, A2A, A2B, and A3 receptors in the presence and

Research areas of 'post-exposure treatment' and 'cytokines and growth factors' have top priority among studies aimed at radiological nuclear threat countermeasures. The experiments were aimed at testing the ability of N(6)-(3-iodobenzyl)adenosine-5'-N-methyluronamide (IB-MECA), an adenosine A(3) receptor agonist, to modulate hematopoiesis
