We have shown previously that neutrophils (PMNs) from patients with asthma have a more potent stimulated respiratory burst than normals and that their respiratory burst is significantly less suppressed with exposure to 2-chloroadenosine (2-CADO). The present studies investigated the basis of this defect in responsiveness to 2-CADO. PMNs obtained from asthmatics either not on theophylline (minus theophylline) or taking theophylline (plus theophylline) generated significantly more superoxide in response to 2×10−8M FMLP (2.08±0.36 nmol/5×105 PMNs (minus theophylline) (P<0.01 compared to controls) vs. 2.16±0.44 (plus theophylline) (P<0.01) as compared to controls (1.05±0.17 nmol). In the presence of FMLP (2×10−8M), PMNs from the minus theophylline cohort had less 2-CADO (10−6M) -mediated suppression of superoxide generation as compared to controls (38.3±3.8% vs. 67±3.8%; (P<0.001). The plus theophylline group exhibited suppression values similar to controls (64.5±7.2%). Theophylline, in the presence of a physiological concentration of 2-CADO (0.1μM) accentuated the suppression of the respiratory burnt in normals (74.1±5.9%, 80.1±4.9% (P<0.02) and 84.7±3.8% (P<0.02) at 0, 10, and 100μM, respectively). PMNs from asthmatics not taking theophylline demonstrated suppression values of 46.2±6%, 53.8±6.6% (P=NS), and 63.2±7.1% (P<0.01), respectively. Resting PMNs from normal controls generated 0.97±0.20 pmol cAMP/107cells compared to 2.83±0.75 pmol in the pressnce of 0.1μM 2-CADO. The combination of 2-CADO and theophylline (10–100μM) produced cAMP concentrations not significantly different from that observed with 2-CADO alone. These findings support the existence of a novel cAMP-independent adenosine receptor in PMNs. The specific binding of 10−8M3H-labeled 2-CADO (in Δ cpm) was 10,358 ± 1502 (P < 0.001 compared to controls), 5468 ± 843 (NS compared to controls), and 3751 ± 477 in the plus theophylline group, minus theophylline group, and controls, respectively. Such up-regulation of specific binding may represent the effects of theophylline as shown by the specific binding of [3H]2-CADO in PMNs from normal controls exposed to 10 μM theophylline for 30 min (6013 ± 969) compared to unexposed PMNs (3768 ± 656; P < 0.05). These data support an antiinflammatory mechanism of action for theophylline in the therapy of asthma and suggest that this may occur through potentiation of the antiinflammatory mediator adenosine.
