Abstract:
To establish a model of inactivation adenosine A2A receptors in brain tissues of mice, we transplanted bone marrow cells (BMCs) from wild type (WT) C57BL/6 mice into A2A receptor knockout (A2A KO) C57BL/6 mice which were previously fractionated total body irradiation of 6.2 Gyx2. Six weeks later, we identified and evaluated the model. The results showed that the sexual chromagene pattern on white blood cells of recipient mice changed from female pattern to male pattern and there were 95.9% of A2AR+ cells in peripheral white blood cells of recipient mice, whereas there was no significant difference of A2AR mRNA level in brains between these recipient mice and A2AR KO mice. Furthermore, there was no significant difference of breathing frequency, brain water content and level of glutamate between the model mice and WT mice. These results indicated that we established successfully a mouse model of inactivation adenosine A2A receptors in brain tissues. This may provide a new and efficient strategy to study the effect of adenosine A2A receptors in disease and injuries of central nervous system.
