Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Extracellular ATP and adenosine modulation of MAPKs is well described in different cells types, but few studies have addressed the effects of extracellular inosine on these kinases. Previous results showed that hydrogen peroxide and TNF-alpha increase extracellular inosine concentration in cultured Sertoli cells and this nucleoside protects Sertoli cells against hydrogen peroxide induced damage and participates in TNF-alpha induced nitric oxide production. In view of the fact that MAPKs are key mediators of the cellular response to a large variety of stimuli, we investigated the effect of extracellular inosine on the phosphorylation of ERK 1/2 and p38 MAPKs in cultured Sertoli cells. The involvement of this nucleoside in the activation of ERK 1/2 by TNF-alpha was also investigated. Inosine and the selective A1 adenosine receptor agonist R-PIA increases the phosphorylation of ERK 1/2 and p38, and this was blocked by the selective A1 adenosine receptors antagonists, CPT and DPCPX. These antagonists also inhibited TNF-alpha increase in the phosphorylation of ERK 1/2. TNF-alpha also rapidly augmented extracellular inosine concentration in cultured Sertoli cells. These results show that extracellular inosine modulates ERK 1/2 and p38 in cultured Sertoli cells, possible trough A1 adenosine receptor activation. This nucleoside also participates in TNF-alpha modulation of ERK 1/2. |
