We investigated the regulation of COX-2 expression and activity by adenosine receptors in rat microglial cells. The selective adenosine A,,-receptor agonist CGS21680 and the non-selective adenosine Al-and A,-receptor agonist 5'-N-ethylcarboxiamidoadenosine (NECA) induced a n increase in COX-2 mRNA l

Previous investigations suggest that the expression of K+ channels in cultured rat microglia is related to the activation status of these cells. Both, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and agents that raise intracellular cyclic AMP have been shown to inhibit microglial proliferation. LPS also regulates the m
Previous literature data show that blockade of A(2A) adenosine receptors via selective antagonists induces protection in various models of neurodegenerative diseases. The mechanisms underlying this effect are still largely unknown. Since it is known that excessive reactive astrogliosis is a factor c
