Adenosine concentration significantly increases in tumour microenvironment contributing to tumorigenic processes including cell proliferation, survival, invasion and of special interest in this review angiogenesis.
This review summarizes the role of pharmacological adenosine receptor agonist and antagonist in regulating angiogenesis for a better understanding and hence a better management of angiogenesis-associated disorders.
Depending upon the pharmacological characteristics of adenosine receptor subtypes, adenosine elicits anti- or pro-angiogenic responses in stimulated cells. Inhibition of the stimulatory effect of adenosine signalling on angiogenesis using specific pharmacological adenosine receptor agonist, and antagonist is a potentially novel strategy to suppress angiogenesis in tumours.
腺嘌呤核苷浓度在肿瘤微环境中显著增加,有助于肿瘤发生过程,包括细胞增殖、存活、侵袭,特别是在本综述中提到的血管生成。
本综述总结了药理学上的腺嘌呤核苷受体激动剂和拮抗剂在调节血管生成方面的作用,以便更好地理解和更好地管理与血管生成相关的疾病。
根据腺嘌呤核苷受体亚型的药理学特性,腺嘌呤核苷在受刺激的细胞中引发抗血管生成或促血管生成反应。使用特定的药理学腺嘌呤核苷受体激动剂和拮抗剂抑制腺苷信号对血管生成的刺激作用,是抑制肿瘤血管生成的一种潜在的新策略。
