Role of adenosine receptors in cardiovascular disorders and novel corona virus infection

Muhammmad Atif, Abdullah Alsrhani, Farrah Naz, Iahtisham-Ul- Haq, Muhammad Imran, Sidra Khalid.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the importance of adenosine signaling in cardiovascular disorders (thrombosis, ischemia) and novel corona virus infection.
Methodology: A specified web search was done to gather the relevant information using different scientific research forums and databases like WHO database, Pubmed and Google Scholar etc.
Results: Adenosine receptors are P1 type of purinergic receptors and belong to G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which is the largest family of integral membrane bound proteins receptors. Adenosine receptors are further classified into four subclasses known as A1, A2A, A2B, and A3. All four subclasses are being mediated by extracellular adenosine and perform a key role in a wide range of physiological functions such as immune system modulation, angiogenesis and sleep regulation. Adenosine receptors are thought to play a significant role in many pathophysiological conditions including cardiovascular disorders such as ischemia and thrombosis and novel corona virus infection making it a key target against these disorders.
Conclusion: We suggest that modulation of adenosine receptor activity could increase the regenerative phase in these disorders by increasing the proliferation and differentiation rates of damaged tissue.

Key words: Adenosine A2A receptor, cardiovascular disorders, COVID-19, thrombosis.
