Abstract

Adenosine, as an endogenous purine nucleoside, is widely distributed in various tissues and organs of the body. It binds to adenosine receptors to regulate a variety of important biological processes. Adenosine 2A receptors have a close relationship with the occurrence and development of various clinical diseases. This article reviews the research progress of adenosine 2A receptors in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, acute immune hepatitis, liver ischemia-reperfusion injury, liver fibrosis, etc., in order to provide new research strategies for the prevention and treatment of these diseases.

腺苷,作为一种内源性嘌呤核苷,广泛分布于全身各组织器官,与腺苷受体结合,调节多种重要的生物过程,其中腺苷2A受体与多种临床疾病的发生、发展都有着密切的关系。现主要综述腺苷2A受体在非酒精性脂肪性肝病、急性免疫性肝炎、肝脏缺血-再灌注损伤和肝纤维化等多种肝脏损伤中的作用研究进展,以期为上述疾病的防治研究提供新的策略。.
