Adenosine, acting through the A2b receptor, induces vectorial chloride and IL-6 secretion in intestinal epithelia and may play an important role in intestinal inflammation. We have previously shown that apical or basolateral adenosine receptor stimulation results in the recruitment of the A2b receptor to the plasma membrane. In this study, we examined domain specificity of recruitment and the role of soluble N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) attachment receptor (SNARE) proteins in the agonist-mediated recruitment of the A2b receptor to the membrane. The colonic epithelial cell line T84 was used because it only expresses the A2b-subtype adenosine receptor. Cell fractionation, biotinylation, and electron microscopic studies showed that the A2b receptor is intracellular at rest and that apical or basolateral adenosine stimulation resulted in the recruitment of the receptor to the apical membrane. Upon agonist stimulation, the A2b receptor is enriched in the vesicle fraction containing vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP)-2. Furthermore, in cells stimulated with apical or basolateral adenosine, we demonstrate a complex consisting of VAMP-2, soluble NEM-sensitive factor attachment protein (SNAP)-23, and A2b receptor that is coimmunoprecipitated in cells stimulated with adenosine within 5 min and is no longer detected within 15 min. Inhibition of trafficking with NEM or nocodazole inhibits cAMP synthesis induced by apical or basolateral adenosine by 98 and 90%, respectively. cAMP synthesis induced by foskolin was not affected, suggesting that generalized signaling is not affected under these conditions. Collectively, our data suggest that 1) the A2b receptor is intracellular at rest; 2) apical or basolateral agonist stimulation induces recruitment of the A2b receptor to the apical membrane; 3) the SNARE proteins, VAMP-2 and SNAP-23, participate in the recruitment of the A2b receptor; and 4) the SNARE-mediated recruitment of the A2b receptor may be required for its signaling.
