ABSTRACT
Cardiovascular inhibitory effects induced by the posterior hypothalamic adenosine A(2) receptors were suggested by our previous reports. In this experiment, we examined the influence of the posterior hypothalamic adenosine A(2B) receptors on central cardiovascular regulation of blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR). Posterior hypothalamic injection of drugs was performed in anesthetized, artificially ventilated male Sprague-Dawley rats. Injection of 5'-(N-cyclopropyl)-carboxamidoadenosine (CPCA; 2 nmol), an adenosine A(2) receptor agonist, showed the decrease of arterial blood pressure and heart rate, and the alloxazine, an adenosine A(2B) receptor antagonist, partially blocked the depressor and bradycardiac effects of CPCA (2 nmol). To examine the role of adenosine A(2B) receptors among the adenosine A(2) subtypes, we applied the 5'-N-Ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA), an adenosine A(2B) receptor agonist, to the posterior hypothalamus. Injection of NECA (1, 4 and 8 nmol) produced a dose-dependent decrease of arterial blood pressure and HR. Pretreatment with alloxazine (5 nmol) partially blocked the depressor and bradycardiac effects of NECA (4 nmol). Also, pretreatment with LY-83,583 (5 nmol), a soluble guanylate cyclase inhibitor, attenuated the depressor and bradycardiac effects of NECA (4 nmol). However, pretreatment with MDL-12,330 (10 nmol), an adenylate cyclase inhibitor, did not affect these effects of NECA (4 nmol). These results suggest that adenosine A(2B) receptor in the posterior hypothalamus plays an inhibitory role in central cardiovascular regulation, and that guanylate cyclase mediates the depressor and bradycardiac actions of adenosine A(2B) receptors.
