Cellular expression of adenosine receptors.

A1 receptor A2A receptor A2B receptor A3 receptor
Neutrophils Diminished adhesion, activation Stimulates chemotaxis
M1 macrophages Inhibit phagocytosis, inflammatory cytokine production, increase IL-10 Stimulates IL-10
M2 macrophages Stimulates M2 macrophage differentiation
Production of pro-angiogenic factors
Lymphocytes Inhibits TH17 differentiation
Stimulates TReg differentiation
Osteoclasts and giant cells Promotes osteoclast differentiation
Stimulates giant cell formation
Inhibits osteoclast differentiation
