A growing body of evidence has accumulated to indicate an important cyto-protective role of the adenosine A3receptor. This protective function, originally discovered in ameliorating ischemia–reperfusion injury in the heart, is now also extended to the skeletal muscle. Understanding the pharmacology of various adenosine receptor subtypes allowed their selective activation and delineated the protective role of adenosine A3receptors as well as that of other receptor subtypes. The use of phospholipase Cβ2/β3 knockout mice showed that the A3receptor-induced anti-ischemic protection in the skeletal muscle is mediated via this phospholipase isoform. The protective effect of adenosine A1and A2Areceptors, however, does not involve this phospholipase C. Other potential effectors of the adenosine A3receptor include KATPchannels, reactive oxygen species, RISK-reperfusion injury salvage kinase, mPTP-mitochondrial permeability transition pore, matrix metalloproteinases and associated tissue inhibitor of metallproteinases, and metallothionein. Direct muscle protection mediated via muscle cell-surface A3receptors as well as anti-inflammatory effects exerted at the level of immune cell A3receptors may contribute to the potent cytoprotective effect of the adenosine A3receptor.
