Adenosine is an immunosuppressive nucleoside, and adenosine AA receptors inhibit T-cell activation. We investigated the role of A(2A) receptors in regulating T helper (Th)1- and Th2-cell development and effector function. A(2A)-receptor stimulation suppressed the development of Tell receptor (TCR) -stimulated naive T cells into both Th1 and Th2 cells, as indicated by decreased IFN-gamma production by cells developed under Th1-skewing conditions and decreased interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, and IL-10 production by cells developed under Th2-skewing conditions. Using A(2A) receptor-deficient mice, we demonstrate that A(2A) receptor activation inhibits Th1- and Th2-cell development by decreasing the proliferation and IL,2 production of naive T cells, irrespective of whether the cells are expanded under Th1- or Th2-skewing environment. Using in vivo established Th1 and Th2 cells, we further demonstrate the nonselective nature of A(2A) receptor-mediated immunosuppressive effects, because A(2A) receptor activation decreased IFN-gamma and IL-4 secretion and mRNA level of TCR-stimulated effector Th1 and Th2 cells, respectively. A(2A) receptor mRNA expression in both Th1 and Th2 effector cells increased following TCR stimulation. In summary, these data demonstrate that A(2A) receptor activation has strong inhibitory actions during early developmental, as well as late effector, stages of Th1- and Th2-cell responses.
