An A2Aadenosine receptor agonist, ATL313, reduces inflammation and improves survival in murine sepsis models

Abstract: Background: The pathophysiology of sepsis is due in part to early systemic inflammation. Here we describe molecular and cellular responses, as well as survival, in A 2A adenosine receptor (AR) agonist treated and untreated animals during experimental sepsis.

“…inflammation (21), acute lung injury (16), and hypoxia (22)), suggesting that A 2A R plays an important role in stress. Consistent with this notion, agonists of A 2A R have been shown to attenuate pathological inflammatory responses (23)(24)(25)(26)(27). Stimulation of A 2A R triggers multiple signaling pathways, including the cAMP-protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent pathway (28), and regulates a wide variety of downstream targets, such as the cAMP-regulated element-binding protein, nuclear factor-B, and hypoxiainducible factor 1, that mediate its effect (29 -31).…”

“…Therefore, we chose the use of LPS, a common pathogen found in both E. coli and Klebsiella, as a representative pathogen found in cholangitis. Furthermore, in many animal sepsis models, the LPS models show similar trends to models using E. coli (28,34).…”

“…In this context, compelling evidence supports A 2A receptors as the major immunoregulatory arm of the adenosine system [10]. For this reason, consistent efforts are being dedicated to the development of A 2A receptor agonists for the therapeutic management of several inflammatory disorders, such as asthma [23,24], arthritis [25,26], glomerulonephritis [27,28], sepsis [29,30], and intestinal inflammation [14,31,32]. However, the great expectation about the therapeutic use of A 2A receptor agonists as a viable anti-inflammatory strategy is being challenged by several concerns, mainly depending on their severe hypotensive effects related to the wide distribution of A 2A receptors in the cardiovascular system [33].…”

“…For this purpose, a subgroup of animals was treated with test drugs by oral gavage or intraperitoneal route. Systolic blood pressure was measured before euthanization (30,60,120, and 240 min after test drug administration) by the tailcuff method at baseline and after injection of experimental drugs or vehicle (BP recorder 58600; Ugo Basile, Comerio, Italy). An average of three pressure readings was obtained.…”
