Electrophysiological research revealed that the block of A2A-type adenosine receptors by their selective antagonist ZM241385 doesn’t alter transmitter release during short rhythmic trains (50 Hz during 1 second) of end plate potentials (EPP) in mouse neuromuscular junctions. Nevertheless, under these conditions activation of L-type voltage-gated calcium channels through calcineurin inhibition by cyclosporine A (CsA) doesn’t lead to facilitation of evoked acetylcholine (ACh) secretion. A2A-receptor agonist CGS-21680 produces a significant increase of quantal content of each EPP in the train. We demonstrated that when L-type calcium channels are preliminary activated by CsA application, the addition of CGS-21680 doesn’t result in further potentiation of evoked synaptic transmission. The conclusion has been made that the molecular cascade starting from activation of A2A-receptors by endogenous adenosine doesn’t participate in transmitter release modulation, but it is necessary for ACh release facilitation via L-type calcium channel activation.
