Adenosine receptors in breast cancer

Abstract

Adenosine receptors are important in the normal physiological function of cells and the pathogenesis of various cancer cells, including breast cancer cells. The activity of adenosine receptors in cancer cells is related to cell proliferation, angiogenesis, metastasis, immune system evasion, and interference with apoptosis. Considering the different roles of adenosine receptors in cancer cells, we intend to investigate the function of adenosine receptors and their biological pathways in breast cancer to improve understanding of therapeutically relevant signaling pathways.

Keywords: A1 adenosine receptor; A2A adenosine receptor; A2B adenosine receptor; A3 adenosine receptor; Breast cancer.
