In the cholinergic basal forebrain, we found previously that the
extracellular adenosine concentration increase that accompanies sleep
deprivation, acting via the A1 receptor, led to activation of the transcription factor nuclear factor- B and to the upregulation of A1 adenosine receptor mRNA. We thus began to examine
intracellular signaling mechanisms. We report here that adenosine,
acting in a dose-dependent manner and predominantly via A1
receptors, stimulated IP3 receptor-regulated calcium
release from intracellular stores. To the best of our knowledge, this
calcium signaling pathway effect is a novel action of the
Gi-coupled A1 adenosine receptor in neurons. Moreover, this calcium mobilization was not seen at all in
noncholinergic neurons but was present in a large proportion of
cholinergic neurons. These data suggest a potential role for a
calcium-signaling pathway in adenosine-induced long-term effects of
sleep deprivation and a key role for cholinergic neurons in this process.
Key words:
