abstract = {The cerebral mechanisms underlying hepatic encephalopathy
(HE) are poorly understood. Adenosine, a neuromodulator that
pre- and postsynaptically modulates neuronal excitability
and release of classical neurotransmitters via A(1)
adenosine receptors (A(1)AR), is likely to be involved. The
present study investigates changes of cerebral A(1)AR
binding in cirrhotic patients by means of positron emission
tomography (PET) and [(18)F]CPFPX, a novel selective A(1)AR
antagonist.PET was performed in cirrhotic patients (n = 10)
and healthy volunteers (n = 10). Quantification of in vivo
receptor density was done by Logan's non-invasive graphical
analysis (pons as reference region). The outcome parameter
was the apparent binding potential (aBP, proportional to B
(max)/K (D)).Cortical and subcortical regions showed lower
A(1)AR binding in cirrhotic patients than in controls. The
aBP changes reached statistical significance vs healthy
controls (p < 0.05, U test with Bonferroni-Holm adjustment
for multiple comparisons) in cingulate cortex $(-50.0\%),$
precentral gyrus $(-40.9\%),$ postcentral gyrus $(-38.6\%),$
insular cortex $(-38.6\%),$ thalamus $(-32.9\%),$ parietal
cortex $(-31.7\%),$ frontal cortex (-28.6), lateral temporal
cortex $(-28.2\%),$ orbitofrontal cortex $(-27.9\%),$
occipital cortex (-24.6), putamen $(-22.7\%)$ and mesial
temporal lobe $(-22.4\%).Regional$ cerebral adenosinergic
neuromodulation is heterogeneously altered in cirrhotic
patients. The decrease of cerebral A(1)AR binding may
further aggravate neurotransmitter imbalance at the synaptic
cleft in cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy. Different
pathomechanisms may account for these alterations including
decrease of A(1)AR density or affinity, as well as blockade
of the A(1)AR by endogenous adenosine or exogenous
xanthines.},
