We recently reported that adenosine caused bronchoconstriction and enhanced airway inflammation in an allergic mouse model. In this study, we further report the characterization of the subtype of adenosine receptor(s) involved in bronchoconstriction. 5′-( N-ethylcarboxamido)adenosine (NECA), a nonselective adenosine agonist, elicited bronchoconstriction in a dose-dependent manner. Little effects of N 6-cyclopentyladenosine (A1-selective agonist) and 2- p-(2-carboxyethyl)phenethylamino-5′- N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (A2A-selective agonist) compared with NECA were observed in this model. 2-Chloro- N 6-(3-iodobenzyl)-9-[5-(methylcarbamoyl)-β-d-ribofuranosyl]adenosine, an A3-selective receptor agonist, produced a dose-dependent bronchoconstrictor response, which was blocked by selective A3 antagonist 2,3-diethyl-4,5-dipropyl-6-phenylpyridine-3-thiocarboxylate-5-carboxylate (MRS1523). However, MRS1523 only partially inhibited NECA-induced bronchoconstriction. Neither selective A1 nor A2A antagonists affected NECA-induced bronchoconstriction. Enprofylline, a relatively selective A2B receptor antagonist, blocked partly NECA-induced bronchoconstriction. Furthermore, a combination of enprofylline and MRS1523 completely abolished NECA-induced bronchoconstrictor response. Using RT-PCR, we found that all four adenosine receptor subtypes are expressed in control lungs. Allergen sensitization and challenge significantly increased transcript levels of the A2B and A3receptors, whereas the A1 receptor message decreased. No change in transcript levels of A2A receptors was observed after allergen sensitization and challenge. These findings suggest that A2B and A3 adenosine receptors play an important role in adenosine-induced bronchoconstriction in our allergic mouse model. Finally, whether the airway effects of the receptor agonists/antagonists are direct or indirect needs further investigations.

Chromosomal Sequences

Small polydisperse circular (spc) DNA was isolated and cloned, using BglII from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The properties of 47 clones containing at least 43 different BglII fragments are reported. The majority of the clones probably contain entire sequences from individual spcDNA molecules. Most of the clones were homologous to sequences in CHO cell chromosomal DNA, and many were also homologous to mouse LMTK- cell chromosomal sequences. The majority of homologous CHO cell chromosomal sequences were repetitive, although a few may be single copy. Only a small fraction of cloned spcDNA molecules were present in every cell; most occurred less frequently than once in 15 cells. Localization studies indicated that at least a portion of spcDNA is associated with the nucleus in CHO cells.
