Pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha (TNF) production from in vitro lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated human peripheral blood CD14(+) cells (PB-CD14) was inhibited by A(2A) adenosine receptor (AdoR) (A(2A)R) or beta(2) adrenergic receptor (ADR) (beta(2)R) signaling in a concentration-dependent manner. These inhibitory effects were presumably mediated by the increase in intracellular cAMP. Furthermore A(2A)R agonist and beta(2)R agonist synergistically inhibited the TNF production of LPS-stimulated PB-CD14 cells. These results suggest that the anti-inflammatory effect of extracellular adenosine is, at least in part, due to the modification of the cytokine milieu via A(2A) signaling, and that the targeting of both A(2A)R and beta(2)R may have strong therapeutic potential for the inflammatory diseases.
