Estradiol inhibits smooth muscle cell growth; however, the mechanisms involved remain unclear. Because estradiol stimulates cAMP synthesis and adenosine inhibits cell growth, we hypothesized that the conversion of cAMP to adenosine (ie, the cAMP-adenosine pathway) mediates in part the inhibitory effects of estradiol on vascular smooth muscle cell growth. To test this hypothesis, we examined the effects of estradiol (0.001 to 1 mu mol/L) on serum-induced DNA, collagen, and total protein synthesis and cell number in the absence and presence of 1,3-dipropyl-8-psulfophenylxanthine (10 nmol/L; A(1)/A(2) adenosine receptor antagonist), KF17837 (10 nmol/L; selective A(2) adenosine receptor antagonist), 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (10 nmol/L; selective A(2) adenosine receptor antagonist), and 2',5'-dideoxyadenosine (10 mu mol/L; adenylyl cyclase inhibitor). Estradiol inhibited all measures of cell growth, and the concentration-dependent inhibitory curves for estradiol were shifted to the right (P
