Pharmacological studies suggest adenosine A3AR influences motility and colitis. Aim: Functional A3−/−AR knockout mice were used to prove whether A3AR activation is involved in modulating either motility or colitis. A3AR was probed by PCR genotyping, western blot and immunochemistry. Motility was assessed in vivo by artificial bead-expulsion, stool-frequency and FITC-Dextran transit. Colitis was induced with DSS in A3−/−AR or wild-type (WT) age, sex-matched-controls. Progression of colitis was evaluated by histopathology, changes in MPO, colon length, CD4+-cells, weight-loss, diarrhea and the Guaiac-test. Goat anti-hu-A3 antiserum identified a 66kDa immunogenic-band in colon. A3AR-immunoreactivity is expressed in SYN+-nerve varicosities, s-100+-glia and crypt cells, but not 5-HT+ (EC), CD4+ (T), tryptase+ (MC) or muscle cells. A3AR-immunoreactivity in myenteric ganglia of distal colon ≫ proximal colon by a ratio of 2:1. Intestinal transit and bead expulsion were accelerated in A3−/−AR mice compared to WT; stool retention was lower by 40%–60% and stool frequency by 67%. DSS down-regulated A3AR in epithelia. DSS histopathology scores indicated less mucosal damage in A3−/−AR mice than WT. A3−/−AR phenotype protected against DSS-induced weight-loss, neutrophil (MPO) or CD4+-T cell infiltration, colon shortening, change in splenic weight, diarrhea or occult-fecal blood. Functional disruption of A3AR in A3−/−AR mice alters intestinal motility. We postulate that ongoing release of adenosine and activation of presynaptic-inhibitory A3AR can slow down transit and inhibit the defecation reflex. A3AR may be involved in gliotransmission. In separate studies, A3−/−AR protects against DSS-colitis consistent with a novel hypothesis that A3AR activation contributes to development of colitis.
