Abstract

Activation of the α2-adrenergic receptor on neurons regulates the activity of neurons. Inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation induced by α2-adrenergic receptor activation is altered following exposure of the neuron SH-SY5Y cell line to tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF). Acute (5 and 15 min) exposure to TNF induces a transformation in α2-adrenergic regulation of cAMP accumulation from inhibition to facilitation. These findings support an autocrine role for the regulation of TNF production from neurons.
