The incorporation of [3H]adenosine (10 microM) into neonatal-rat heart cell nucleotides was inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner, such that 50% inhibition was obtained with 0.75 microM-dipyridamole, 0.26 microM-hexobendine or 0.22 microM-dilazep. Adenosine formation was accelerated 2.5-fold to 2.1 +/- 0.3 nmol/10(7) cells in 10 min when cells were incubated with a combination of 30 mM-2-deoxyglucose and 2 micrograms of oligomycin/ml. Of the newly formed adenosine, 6 +/- 2% was in the cells. Dipyridamole, hexobendine or dilazep (10 microM) increased the amount of adenosine in the cells and decreased that in the medium such that 45-50% of the newly formed adenosine was in the cells. Antibodies which inhibited ecto-5'-nucleotidase by 98.7 +/- 0.3% did not alter the rate of adenosine formation or its distribution between cells and medium. We conclude that adenosine was formed in the cytoplasm during catabolism of cellular ATP and was released via the dipyridamole-sensitive symmetric nucleoside transporter.
