“ Adenosine (or CGS 21680) combined with rolipram synergistically increased f-met-leu-phe-stimulated PMN cAMP content.”
“In addition, rolipram especially when combined with adenosine , decreased rhTNF alpha-stimulated PMN adherence to a fibrinogen-coated surface, and the oxidative burst of rhTNF alpha-stimulated adherent PMN.”
“The effects of both adenosine and rolipram with adenosine could be only partly counteracted by treatment of the PMN with the protein kinase A inhibitor KT 5720, indicating that protein phosphorylation is only partially involved.”
“Thus, rolipram , especially when combined with adenosine , has potent modulating effects on PMN activation and may be useful in decreasing inflammatory tissue damage in patients with sepsis.”
