Blockade of A2A adenosine receptors (A2AR)-adenosinergic signaling shows high potency to mobilize antitumor immunity for its in-depth involvement in immune regulation of nearly all immune cells. Available A2AR inhibition strategies are mainly based on small molecules or proteins inhibitors, yet are limited by the non-specific operation as well as the off-target toxicity. Herein, the first effort to design a convenient tumor-specific A2AR inhibition strategy to improve antitumor immune responses via the spatiotemporally controlled oxygen supply by virtue of a versatile photo-modulated nanoreactor is reported on. This nanoreactor, consisting of a catalase-mimicking shell (Pt nanocatalyst) and a photothermal core (polydopamine), is rationally designed for achieving the near-infrared radiation (NIR)-guided/accelerated oxygen supplementation on tumor site, and for relieving the A2AR-mediated immunosuppression without toxicity concern. Meanwhile, the NIR light could also mediate the direct photothermal ablation of tumor, and elicit immunogenic cell deaths to boost antitumor immunity. In a poorly immunogenic breast cancer model, the intravenous injection of the nanoreactor leads to the improved immune response with an increased animal survival rate, and achieves the long-term immunological memory effect against tumor recurrence as well as rechallenge. This convenient nanoreactor-stimulated A2AR inhibition approach provides a versatile promising paradigm for improving these existing immunotherapies.

Comparing adenosine A receptor modulation of cannabinoid CB receptor-mediated inhibition of GABA and glutamate release in rodent striatal nerve terminals.

In corticostriatal nerve terminals, glutamate release is stimulated by adenosine via A receptors (ARs) and simultaneously inhibited by endocannabinoids via CB receptors (CBRs). We previously identified presynaptic AR-CBR heterotetrameric complexes in corticostriatal nerve terminals. We now explored the possible functional interaction between ARs and CBRs in purified striatal GABAergic nerve terminals (synaptosomes) and compared these findings with those on the release of glutamate.

Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is an important cause of liver injury following liver transplantation and major resections, and neutrophils are the key effector cells in HIRI. Double-negative T regulatory cells (DNT) are increasingly recognized as having critical regulatory functions in the immune system. Whether DNT expresses distinct immunoregulatory mechanisms to modulate neutrophils, as in HIRI, remains largely unknown.

The endogenous neuromodulator adenosine is massively released during hypoxic/ischemic insults and differentially modulates post-ischemic damage depending on the expression and recruitment of its four metabotropic receptor subtypes, namely A, A, A and A receptors (ARs, ARs, ARs and ARs). We previously demonstrated, by using a model of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAo) in rats, that selective activation of ARs, as well as ARs, ameliorates post-ischemic brain damage in contrast to neuroinflammation. In the present study, we investigated whether the multitarget nucleoside MRS3997, a full agonist at both ARs and ARs, would afford higher neuroprotection in post-ischemic damage.

Objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterised by the synovitis and bone erosion. The combination therapy of glucocorticoids (GCs) and methotrexate (MTX) is recommended in early RA management, although the precise underlying mechanism of action remains unclear. This study is aimed to clarify the mechanism of MTX in combined with GC in treating RA.

Article Synopsis
- This study examined how caffeine affects endothelial function in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) by looking at circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs).
- Researchers found a positive relationship between caffeine intake and the percentage of circulating EPCs in SLE patients, suggesting that caffeine may enhance endothelial function.
- In vitro experiments showed that adding caffeine to EPCs treated with SLE sera improved their survival, morphology, and ability to form colonies, primarily by reducing apoptosis and increasing autophagy through a specific cellular pathway.
