The role of adenosine on regulation of the (Na(+)+K(+))ATPase activity present in the Malpighian tubules isolated from Rhodnius prolixus was investigated. Adenosine decreases the (Na(+)+K(+)) ATPase specific activity by 88%, in a dose-dependent manner, with maximal effect at a concentration of 10(-9) M. This effect was mimicked by N(6)-cyclohexyladenosine (CHA) at 10(-8) M, an agonist for A(1) adenosine receptor, and was reversed by 10(-9) M 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX), an antagonist for A(1) adenosine receptor. On the other hand, 5'-N-ethyl-carboxamide adenosine (NECA), an agonist for A(2) adenosine receptor, used in the range of 10(-9)-10(-5) M, did not change the (Na(+)+K(+))ATPase specific activity. In the same way, 10(-8) M 3, 7-dimethyl-1-propargylxanthine (DMPX), an antagonist for A(2) adenosine receptor, did not modify the inhibitory effect of adenosine. These data suggest that the inhibitory effect of adenosine on the (Na(+)+K(+))ATPase specific activity present in Malpighian tubules from Rhodnius prolixus is mediated by A(1) adenosine receptor activation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008317 Malpighian Tubules Slender tubular or hairlike excretory structures found in insects. They emerge from the alimentary canal between the mesenteron (midgut) and the proctodeum (hindgut). Malpighian Tubule,Tubule, Malpighian,Tubules, Malpighian
D000241 Adenosine A nucleoside that is composed of ADENINE and D-RIBOSE. Adenosine or adenosine derivatives play many important biological roles in addition to being components of DNA and RNA. Adenosine itself is a neurotransmitter. Adenocard,Adenoscan
D000254 Sodium-Potassium-Exchanging ATPase An enzyme that catalyzes the active transport system of sodium and potassium ions across the cell wall. Sodium and potassium ions are closely coupled with membrane ATPase which undergoes phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, thereby providing energy for transport of these ions against concentration gradients. ATPase, Sodium, Potassium,Adenosinetriphosphatase, Sodium, Potassium,Na(+)-K(+)-Exchanging ATPase,Na(+)-K(+)-Transporting ATPase,Potassium Pump,Sodium Pump,Sodium, Potassium ATPase,Sodium, Potassium Adenosinetriphosphatase,Sodium-Potassium Pump,Adenosine Triphosphatase, Sodium, Potassium,Na(+) K(+)-Transporting ATPase,Sodium, Potassium Adenosine Triphosphatase,ATPase Sodium, Potassium,ATPase, Sodium-Potassium-Exchanging,Adenosinetriphosphatase Sodium, Potassium,Pump, Potassium,Pump, Sodium,Pump, Sodium-Potassium,Sodium Potassium Exchanging ATPase,Sodium Potassium Pump
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D012239 Rhodnius A genus of the subfamily TRIATOMINAE. Rhodnius prolixus is a vector for TRYPANOSOMA CRUZI.
D013805 Theobromine 3,7-Dimethylxanthine. The principle alkaloid in Theobroma cacao (the cacao bean) and other plants. A xanthine alkaloid that is used as a bronchodilator and as a vasodilator. It has a weaker diuretic activity than THEOPHYLLINE and is also a less powerful stimulant of smooth muscle. It has practically no stimulant effect on the central nervous system. It was formerly used as a diuretic and in the treatment of angina pectoris and hypertension. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, pp1318-9)
D014970 Xanthines Purine bases found in body tissues and fluids and in some plants.
D018047 Receptors, Purinergic P1 A class of cell surface receptors that prefer ADENOSINE to other endogenous PURINES. Purinergic P1 receptors are widespread in the body including the cardiovascular, respiratory, immune, and nervous systems. There are at least two pharmacologically distinguishable types (A1 and A2, or Ri and Ra).

D019830 Adenosine-5'-(N-ethylcarboxamide) A stable adenosine A1 and A2 receptor agonist. Experimentally, it inhibits cAMP and cGMP phosphodiesterase activity. 5'-N-Ethylcarboxamidoadenosine,N-Ethylcarboxamidoadenosine,NECA,Adenosine-5'-N-ethyluronamide,N6-Ethyl-carboxamido Adenosine,5' N Ethylcarboxamidoadenosine,Adenosine 5' N ethyluronamide,Adenosine, N6-Ethyl-carboxamido,N Ethylcarboxamidoadenosine,N6 Ethyl carboxamido Adenosine
