Adenosine induces cyclic‐AMP formation and inhibits endothelin‐1 production/secretion in guinea‐pig tracheal epithelial cells through A<sub>2B</sub> adenosine receptors
Bibliographic record
Abstract
1. The adenosine receptor subtype mediating adenosine 3' : 5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) formation and the effect of its activation on endothelin-1 (ET-1) secretion were studied in primary cultures of tracheal epithelial cells. 2. Adenosine analogues showed the following rank order of potency (pD(2) value) and intrinsic activity on the generation of cyclic AMP by tracheal epithelial cells: 5'-N-ethylcarboxyamidoadenosine (NECA, A(1)/A(2A)/A(2B), pD(2): 5.44+/-0.16)>adenosine (ADO, non selective, pD(2): 4.99+/-0. 09; 71+/-9% of NECA response) >/=2-Cl-adenosine (2CADO, non selective, pD(2): 4.72+/-0.14; 65+/-9% of NECA response)>>>CGS21680 (A(2A); inactive at up to 100 microM). 3. Cyclic AMP formation stimulated by NECA in guinea-pig tracheal epithelial cells was inhibited by adenosine receptor antagonist with the following order of apparent affinity (pA(2) value): Xanthine amine congeners (XAC, A(2A)/A(2B), 7.89+/-0.22)>CGS15943 (A(2A)/A(2B), 7.24+/-0. 26)>ZM241385 (A(2A), 6.69+/-0.14)>DPCPX (A(1), 6.51+/-0. 14)>3n-propylxanthine (weak A(2B), 4.30+/-0.10). This rank order of potency is typical for A(2B)-adenosine receptor. 4. Adenosine decreased basal and LPS-stimulated irET production in a concentration-dependent manner. Moreover, NECA but not CGS21680 inhibited LPS-induced irET production. 5. The inhibitory effect of NECA on LPS-induced irET production was reversed by XAC (pA(2)=8.84+/-0. 12) and DPCPX (pA(2)=8.10+/-0.22). 6. These results suggested that adenosine increased cyclic AMP formation and inhibited irET production/secretion by guinea-pig tracheal epithelial cells through the activation of a functional adenosine receptor that is most likely the A(2B) subtype. This adenosine receptor may be involved in the regulation of the level of ET-1 production/secretion by guinea-pig tracheal epithelial cells in physiological as well as in pathophysiological conditions.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
