Journal ArticleDOI
Adenosine A3 receptors mediate hypotension in the angiotensin II-supported circulation of the pithed rat.
J.R. Fozard,Alan M. Carruthers +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that hypotension in the pithed rat may be a functional correlate of this site, and an enantiomeric selectivity favouring R‐ over S‐PIA are distinguishing features of the adenosine A3 receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Matrix regulation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: the role of enzymes
TL;DR: Elevated expression of a number of enzymes that can directly modulate the ECM has been reported, and recent data indicates that modulating the activity of these enzymes can have a downstream effect on fibrotic tissue remodeling.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Anti-Human ICAM-1 Antibody Inhibits Rhinovirus-Induced Exacerbations of Lung Inflammation
Stephanie Traub,A A Nikonova,Alan M. Carruthers,Rebecca Dunmore,Katherine A. Vousden,Leila Gogsadze,Weidong Hao,Qing Zhu,Katie Bernard,Jie Zhu,Michael Dymond,Gary R. McLean,Ross P. Walton,Nicholas Glanville,Alison A. Humbles,Musa Khaitov,Ted Wells,Roland Kolbeck,Andrew Leishman,Matthew A. Sleeman,Nathan W. Bartlett,Sebastian L. Johnston +21 more
TL;DR: A human ICAM-1 domain-1-specific antibody can prevent major group HRV entry and induction of airway inflammation in vivo, and reduce cellular inflammation, pro-inflammatory cytokine induction and virus load in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adenosine A1 Receptor-Mediated Inhibition of Protein Kinase A-Induced Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide Release from Rat Trigeminal Neurons
Alan M. Carruthers,Lynda A. Sellers,David W. Jenkins,Emma M. Jarvie,Wasyl Feniuk,Patrick P.A. Humphrey +5 more
TL;DR: The present data confirm the PKA-dependence of forskolin-stimulated CGRP release and suggest that A(1) adenosine agonists may warrant further investigation in models of migraine and neurogenic inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Receptor Isoforms Mediate Opposing Proliferative Effects through Gβγ-Activated p38 or Akt Pathways
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the duration of activation and a critical balance between the mitogen-activated protein kinase and PI 3-K pathways are important for controlling cell proliferation and that the COOH termini of the sst2 receptor isoforms may determine the selection of appropriate βγ-pairings necessary for interaction with distinct kinase cascades.
