Summary

The adenosine transport in bovine chromaffin cells is highly regulated by different extracellular signals, both at short and long-term. The short-term regulation by extracellular signals such as secretagogues or direct activation of protein kinases A and C inhibit the adenosine transport capacity. Binding studies with nitrobenzylthioinosine show that the inhibition of the transport runs in parallel with a decrease in the number of binding sites for this ligand. The adenosine transport inhibition is mediated by a phosphorylation-dephosphorylation process. Extracellular signals that bind o nuclear receptors are responsible for the long-term regulation. Thyroid hormones increase the adenosine transport by increasing the number of adenosine transporters at the plasma membrane level. This transport activation requires the protein-synthesizing mchanism. On the contrary, dexamethasone and retinoic acid inhibit the adenosine transpor capacity and revert the action of thyroid hormones.
