摘要
Osteoblast differentiation and proliferation are regulated by several modulators, among which are adenosine A2A receptors (A2ARs) and Wingless/Integrated-β-catenin pathways. Cytosolic β-catenin stabilization promotes its nuclear translocation and transcriptional activity. In the present study, we seek to determine whether there is a connection between A2AR stimulation and cellular β-catenin levels in osteoblasts. Osteoblast precursor cell line (MC3T3-E1) and primary murine osteoblasts were treated with CGS21680, a highly selective A2AR agonist. We analyzed cellular content and nuclear translocation of phosphorylated (p)-serine 552 (S552) β-catenin in response to A2AR stimulation in MC3T3-E1 cells, in both wild-type and A2AR knockout (A2AKO) mice. Moreover, we measured cellular β-catenin levels in MC3T3-E1 cells transfected with scrambled or protein kinase B (Akt) small interfering RNA following A2AR activation. CGS21680 (1 μM) stimulated an increase in both the cellular content and nuclear translocation of p-S552 β-catenin after 15 min of incubation. A2AR activation had no tangible effect on the cellular β-catenin level either in A2AKO mice or in osteoblasts with diminished Akt content. Our findings demonstrate an interaction between A2AR, β-catenin, and Akt signaling in osteoblasts. The existence of such a crosstalk has significant repercussions in the development of novel therapeutic approaches targeting medical conditions associated with reduced bone density.-Borhani, S., Corciulo, C., Larranaga-Vera, A., Cronstein, B. N. Adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) activation triggers Akt signaling and enhances nuclear localization of β-catenin in osteoblasts.
