In mice, 10 minutes of breathing five percent oxygen induces hypoxia and increases markers of inflammation, including NF-kappa B. Activation of NF-kappa B can be suppressed by habituating the mice to low oxygen levels with a regimen of hypoxia preconditioning.
Overexpression of individual adenosine receptors revealed that A2B and, to a lesser extent, A1 receptors were particularly involved in the preconditioning-induced suppression of NF-kappa B. Other studies indicate that A2B receptors can protect against bone marrow and vascular inflammation, but not in chronic inflammatory conditions.
