The ability of adenosine to function as an inhibitory modulator of inflammatory processes has been well documented. While the activation of adenosine A 2 receptors has been implicated in the anti-inflammatory actions of adenosine, the specific mechanisms by which adenosine modulates the function of
## Abstract Adenosine triphosphate has previously been shown to induce semi‐mature human monocyte‐derived dendritic cells (DC). These are characterized by the up‐regulation of co‐stimulatory molecules, the inhibition of IL‐12 and the up‐regulation of some genes involved in immune tolerance, such as
The A 2A adenosine receptor is prototypically coupled to stimulation of adenylyl cyclase by means of G s . However, in human endothelial cells, adenosine stimulates proliferation and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) by means of the A 2A receptor in a manner that is independent of cAMP.
