The adenosine receptor subtype mediating glucose production by glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis was studied in primary cultured rat hepatocytes. Adenosine and adenosine agonists caused cyclic AMP accumulation in rat hepatocytes. The order of potency was 5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA)>R(-)-N-6-(2-phenylisopropyl)adenosine (RPIA)>adenosine>2-[p-(carboxyethyl)phenylethylamino]-5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (CGS21680). Furthermore, adenosine agonists stimulated glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. The order of potency was NECA>RPIA>CGS21680. The rank order of potency is typical for adenosine A(2B) receptors. Glycogenolysis stimulated by NECA was fully inhibited by nonselective adenosine antagonists, 9-chloro-2-(2-furanyl)[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]quinazolin-5-amine (CGS15943). However, the adenosine A(2A) receptor-selective antagonist, 8-(3-chlorostyryl)caffeine (CSC), and the adenosine A] receptor-selective antagonist, (+)-(R)- [(E) - 3 -(2 -phenylpyrazolo[ 1.5-alpha] pyridin-3-yl)acryloyl]-2-piperidine ethanol (FK453), had a low inhibitory potency. A strong correlation was found between the inhibitory effect of adenosine antagonists on NECA-induced glucose production and that on intracellular cyclic AMP generation in rat hepatocytes. Our results suggest that adenosine stimulates cyclic AMP formation and regulates glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis, most likely through the adenosine A(2B) receptor subtype in rat hepatocytes.
