Pentoxifylline (PTX) has been shown to exert anti-inflammatory effects in experimental acute lung injury. However, results in humans were controversial. Recent in vitro studies suggested that the adenosine receptor A(2A) may be required for PTX to be effective. Therefore, we studied the association between A(2A) and PTX in a murine model of LPS-induced pulmonary inflammation. PTX treatment (10 mg/kg) reduced cellular influx (by 40%), microvascular permeability (30%), and the release of chemotactic cytokines into the alveolar space (TNF- 60%, IL-6 60%, and CXCL2/3 53%, respectively). These protective effects were abolished completely in A(2A)(-/-) mice and in wild-type mice that had been treated with the selective A(2A) antagonist (1 mg/kg), but effects were not different in mice with altered adenosine levels. In vitro transmigration assays revealed a pivotal role of the endothelium in PTX-mediated PMN migration, with a reduction of 50% (2 mM PTX). This effect was also A(2A) dependent. Further, oxidative burst of human PMNs was A(2A)-dependently reduced by 53% after PTX treatment. In summary, PTX exhibits its anti-inflammatory effects in LPS-induced lung injury through an A(2A)-dependent pathway. These results will help to better understand previous conflicting data on PTX in inflammation and will direct further studies to consider the predominant role of A(2A).Konrad, F.
