Four types of adenosine receptors have been identified in different tissues and cell types, namely, A1, A2A, A2B, and A3 receptors. We report that A2AR but not A2BR mRNA in freshly isolated polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) is maximally up-regulated after 4 h stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or tumor necrosis factor 
(TNF-) and to a lesser extent, with interleukin (IL)-1ß. These effects were maintained up to 21 h. Consistent with changes in A2AR mRNA expression, up-regulation of A2AR protein was also detected after 4 h of LPS or TNF- exposure. Up-regulation of A2AR protein expression was transient and returned to near basal levels after 12 h or 16 h stimulation with TNF- or LPS, respectively. Conversely, IL-1ß failed to promote A2AR protein expression. Suppression of thapsigargin-induced leukotriene synthesis by the selective A2AR agonist CGS-21680 was found to be more pronounced when PMN were cultured for 4 h with LPS or TNF-. In contrast, the up-regulation of A2AR has no impact on CGS-21680-induced inhibition of phospholipase D activation and superoxide production in response to formyl-Met-Leu-Phe. These results demonstrate that the A2AR is up-regulated by specific T helper cell type 1 cytokines and LPS. Although this could represent a potential feedback mechanism to control inflammation, the effect of A2AR up-regulation varied depending on the stimulus used to stimulate PMN functional responses after their incubation with proinflammatory mediators.
