Abstract

The A 2A R is largely coexpressed with D 2 Rs and enkephalin mRNA in the striatum where it modulates dopaminergic activity. Activation of the A 2A R antagonizes D 2 R-mediated behavioral and neurochemical effects in the basal ganglia through a mechanism that may involve direct A 2A R–D 2 R interaction. However, whether the D 2 R is required for the A 2A R to exert its neural function is an open question. In this study, we examined the role of D 2 Rs in A 2A R-induced behavioral and cellular responses, by using genetic knockout (KO) models (mice deficient in A 2A Rs or D 2 Rs or both). Behavioral analysis shows that the A 2A R agonist 2–4-(2-carboxyethyl)phenethylamino-5′- N -ethylcarboxamidoadenosine reduced spontaneous as well as amphetamine-induced locomotion in both D 2 KO and wild-type mice. Conversely, the nonselective adenosine antagonist caffeine and the A 2A R antagonist 8-(3-chlorostyryl)caffeine produced motor stimulation in mice lacking the D 2 R, although the stimulation was significantly attentuated. At the cellular level, A 2A R inactivation counteracted the increase in enkephalin expression in striatopallidal neurons caused by D 2 R deficiency. Consistent with the D 2 KO phenotype, A 2A R inactivation partially reversed both acute D 2 R antagonist (haloperidol)-induced catalepsy and chronic haloperidol-induced enkephalin mRNA expression. Together, these results demonstrate that A 2A Rs elicit behavioral and cellular responses despite either the genetic deficiency or pharmacological blockade of D 2 Rs. Thus, A 2A R-mediated neural functions are partially independent of D 2 Rs. Moreover, endogenous adenosine acting at striatal A 2A Rs may be most accurately viewed as a facilitative modulator of striatal neuronal activity rather than simply as an inhibitory modulator of D 2 R neurotransmission.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
