ATP promoted biphasic effects on both basal and fMLP-stimulated arachidonic acid (AA) release in neutrophil-like HL60 cells: stimulation in the micromolar range (EC50 = 3.2 +/- 0.9 microM) and inhibition at higher concentrations (EC50 = 90 +/- 11 microM). ATP also inhibited UTP- and platelet activating factor-stimulated AA release. Only stimulatory effects of ATP on basal or fMLP-stimulated phospholipase C were observed. The inhibitory effect of ATP on AA release was not due to reacylation of released AA, chelation of extracellular Ca2+, cell permeabilization, or changes in the rise of [Ca2+]i induced by agonist. The inhibition was rapid, being detected within 5-15 s. The inhibitory effect of ATP on fMLP-stimulated AA release could be desensitized by pretreatment of the cells with 2 mM ATP, but not 20 microM ATP, the concentration that resulted in maximal release of AA and inositol phosphates. The inhibition by ATP was neither dependent on generation of adenosine by ATP hydrolysis nor the result of direct interaction of ATP with P1 purinergic receptors. Among other nucleotides tested (CTP, GTP, ITP, TTP, XTP, adenosine 5'-(beta,gamma-methylene)triphosphate (AMP-PCP), adenyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (AMP-P(NH)P), ADP, adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (ATP gamma S), and UTP), only UTP and ATP gamma S displayed biphasic effects with potencies and efficacies almost identical to those of ATP. The other nucleotides only exhibited stimulatory effects (EC50 = 60-300 microM). The results are consistent with a model of dual regulation of AA release by two distinct subtypes of P2U receptors in HL60 cells.

Perturbation of the T-cell receptor (TCR) complex is followed by the rapid hydrolysis of inositol phospholipids (InsPL) by phospholipase C (PLC), producing diacylglycerol and inositol phosphates, which act as second messengers in signal transduction. The mechanism coupling the TCR to InsPL hydrolysis is not clearly defined, and no information is available on this mechanism in the CD4+ helper subset of T-lymphocytes (Th). We have tested the hypothesis that guanine-nucleotide-binding proteins (G-proteins) may couple the TCR to PLC in a murine Th type II (Th2) cell clone. Cell permeabilization with streptolysin O (SLO) or tetanolysin (TL) was used to allow membrane-impermeable nucleotides access to intracellular sites of action. Exposure of permeabilized Th2 cells to guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP gamma S), a non-hydrolysable GTP analogue, resulted in a 2.1-2.5-fold increase in inositol phosphate generation. Similarly, perturbation of the TCR with the monoclonal antibody 145.2C11 (directed against the epsilon-chain of the CD3 component of the TCR) resulted in a 3.1-4.2-fold increase in InsPL hydrolysis by permeabilized cells. Both lysins were similarly effective in allowing GTP gamma S induction of InsPL hydrolysis, but TL-permeabilized cells responded better to TCR perturbation than SLO-treated cells. A role for G-proteins in TCR coupling to PLC was further supported by the inhibition of TCR-induced InsPL hydrolysis by guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate (GDP beta S), a guanine nucleotide analogue that inhibits G-protein function. ATP was required for TCR-mediated InsPL hydrolysis, and potentiated GTP gamma S-induced hydrolysis. Other nucleotides (i.e. CTP, GDP, GTP, ITP) did not affect the response. These data indicate that G-proteins may contribute to the regulation of PLC activation in Th2 cells, coupling it to the TCR.

Stimulation of phagocytic cells with micromolar concentrations of extracellular ATP primes the production of toxic oxygen metabolites in response to chemoattractants and independently activates a secretory response in vitro. It is hypothesized that extracellular ATP derived from platelet storage granules and damaged endothelium at sites of localized tissue damage or infection may potentiate the pro-inflammatory effects of phagocytic cells in vivo. ATP-dependent functional responses in the phagocyte appear to be due to stimulation of putative P2 purinoreceptors that are coupled to the activation of a phospholipase C via a pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein. The existence in nature of at least four subtypes of P2 purinoreceptors has been proposed based on the rank order of potency of nucleotide analogs of ATP studied in a variety of cell types. However, no studies involving the structural identification and characterization of the putative receptors have been reported. We have used the Xenopus oocyte expression system to demonstrate acquired adenosine 5'-(thio) triphosphate (ATP gamma S) responsiveness in oocytes injected with mRNA from the promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL60 by measuring the accelerated efflux of intracellular calcium. Two peaks of ATP gamma S responsiveness (Peak I and Peak II) were detected in sucrose gradient fractionated RNA that corresponded to transcript sizes of 4 and 6 kilobases and that were distinct from a third peak previously shown to be enriched in formyl peptide chemoattractant receptor activity. Peak I and Peak II RNA endowed receptor activity in the oocyte that was pharmacologically indistinguishable: ADP and AMP were inactive whereas UTP and ITP exhibited activity that was similar in potency to that of ATP gamma S. Both Peak I and Peak II ATP gamma S-dependent activity was inhibited by pertussis toxin. These data strongly support the concept of phagocytic cell receptors for extracellular nucleotide triphosphates whose ligand specificity is distinct from all other previously described P2 purinoreceptor subtypes, with the exception of the P2 receptor described in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells, by virtue of the ineffectiveness of ADP as a stimulus. These receptors are most likely composed of a single polypeptide chain that can be expressed in the Xenopus oocyte in a functional form regulated by a pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein.

Undifferentiated and differentiated HL-60 leukemic cells possess nucleotide receptors which functionally couple to phospholipase C via pertussis toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G-proteins). We investigated the role of extracellular nucleotides in the regulation of beta-glucuronidase release in HL-60 cells. In dibutyryl cyclic AMP (Bt2cAMP)-differentiated HL-60 cells, the chemotactic peptide, N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (fMet-Leu-Phe), the phosphorothioate analogue of ATP, adenosine 5'-O-[3-thio]triphosphate (ATP[gamma S]), and UTP increased cytosolic Ca2+ from 100 nM up to 1.2 microM with EC50 values of 4 nM, 1 microM and 100 nM, respectively. In these cells, ATP[gamma S] induced exocytosis with an EC50 of 4 microM and an effectiveness amounting to 50-70% of that of fMet-Leu-Phe. ATP, ITP, UTP, CTP, and uridine 5'-O-[2-thio]diphosphate activated exocytosis as well. Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) induced exocytosis with an EC50 of 115 ng/ml and an effectiveness similar to that of ATP[gamma S]. Cytochalasin B (CB) differently potentiated exocytosis induced by ATP[gamma S], fMet-Leu-Phe and PMA. Treatment of Bt2cAMP-differentiated HL-60 cells with pertussis toxin (500 ng/ml) for 24 h resulted in ADP-ribosylation of more than 97.5% of the G-proteins. Under these conditions, pertussis toxin almost completely inhibited the increase in cytosolic Ca2+ and beta-glucuronidase release induced by fMet-Leu-Phe but only partially inhibited the effects of ATP[gamma S] and UTP. fMet-Leu-Phe at a non-stimulatory concentration (1 nM) potentiated ATP[gamma S]-induced beta-glucuronidase release in the presence but not in the absence of CB. In contrast, ATP[gamma S] and fMet-Leu-Phe synergistically activated superoxide formation in the absence of CB. PMA potentiated superoxide formation induced by ATP[gamma S] or fMet-Leu-Phe and did not affect exocytosis induced by ATP[gamma S] or fMet-Leu-Phe. In undifferentiated HL-60 cells, fMet-Leu-Phe, ATP[gamma S], UTP and PMA did not induce beta-glucuronidase release. fMet-Leu-Phe did not increase cytosolic Ca2+ in undifferentiated HL-60 cells, whereas ATP[gamma S] and UTP were similarly potent and effective as in Bt2cAMP-differentiated cells. In differentiated HL-60 cells, fMet-Leu-Phe induced aggregation, and ATP[gamma S] induced a transient shape change. Our results show (I) that exocytosis in HL-60 cells does not obligatorily depend on CB. (II) Purine and pyrimidine nucleotides activate exocytosis via pertussis toxin-sensitive and -insensitive signal transduction pathways.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Extracellular ATP and UTP caused a rapid formation of InsP3, with similar kinetics and dose-dependences. ITP also displayed strong agonistic properties in terms of InsP3 production, whereas CTP was almost inactive. Pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin attenuated ATP- and UTP-stimulated InsP3 generation to a comparable extent, indicating that both nucleotides couple to phospholipase C by a pertussis-toxin-sensitive G-protein. Short-term (15 min) treatment of the cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) produced a dose-dependent inhibition of ATP- and UTP-induced InsP3 formation. Furthermore, down-regulation of protein kinase C by long-term (24 h) exposure of the cells to PMA resulted in a comparable potentiation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis by both nucleotides. Preincubation of mesangial cells with ATP or UTP caused a pronounced cross-desensitization of subsequent nucleotide-stimulated InsP3 production. ATP and UTP displayed no additivity in terms of InsP3 formation, when used at maximally effective concentrations. In contrast, the peptide hormone angiotensin II interacted in an additive manner with either nucleotide in stimulating phosphoinositide hydrolysis. Reactive Blue 2, a putative P2y-purinoceptor antagonist, caused a rightward shift of both the ATP and UTP dose-response curves. However, since 2-methylthio-ATP was only a partial agonist in stimulating InsP3 formation, the mesangial-cell ATP receptor appears to be different from a classic P2y-receptor. In summary, these results provide no evidence for separate purino- and pyrimidino-ceptors on mesangial cells. In contrast, ATP and UTP may use a common nucleotide receptor for transducing their signals in mesangial cells.

The relationship between phospholipase A2 and C activation and secretion was investigated in intact human neutrophils and differentiated HL60 cells. Activation by either ATP or fMetLeuPhe leads to [3H]arachidonic acid release into the external medium from prelabelled cells. This response was inhibited when the cells were pretreated with pertussis toxin. When the [3H]arachidonic acid-labelled cells were stimulated with fMetLeuPhe, ATP or Ca2+ ionophore A23187, and the lipids analysed by t.l.c., the increase in free fatty acid was accompanied by decreases in label from phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylcholine. Moreover, incorporation of label into triacylglycerol and to a lesser extent phosphatidylethanolamine was evident. Activation of secretion was evident with ATP and fMetLeuPhe but not with A23187. The pharmacological specificity of the ATP receptor in HL60 cells was investigated by measuring secretion of beta-glucuronidase, formation of inositol phosphatases and release of [3H]arachidonic acid. External addition of ATP, UTP, ITP, adenosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (ATP[S]), adenosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate (App[NH]p), XTP, CTP, GTP, 8-bromo-ATP and guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) to intact HL60 cells stimulated inositol phosphate production, but only the first five nucleotides were effective at stimulating secretion or [3H]arachidonic acid release. In human neutrophils, addition of ATP, ITP, UTP and ATP[S] also stimulated secretion from specific and azurophilic granules, and this was accompanied by increases in cytosolic Ca2+ and in [3H]arachidonic acid release. The addition of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA; 1 nM) prior to the addition of either fMetLeuPhe or ATP led to inhibition of phospholipase C activity. In contrast, this had no effect on phospholipase A2 activation, whilst secretion was potentiated. Phospholipase A2 activation by either agonist was dependent on an intact cell metabolism, as was secretion. It is concluded that (1) activation of phospholipase C does not always lead to activation of phospholipase A2, (2) phospholipase A2 is coupled to the receptor independently of phospholipase C via a pertussis-toxin-sensitive G-protein and (3) for secretion to take place, the receptor has to activate both phospholipases C and A2.

Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) release superoxide anions formed by a membrane-bound NADPH oxidase induced by stimulations. Properties of the inducers and their antagonists indicate that Ca2+, GTP-binding protein (G-protein), phospholipase C and Ca2+, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (C-kinase) are mainly associated with the stimulation of receptors. Low concentrations of ATP induce the oxidase accompanied by the increase in the intracellular Ca2+ due to the flux from the medium and the storage site. ATP-gamma-S, UTP and ITP are effective but mononucleotides, dinucleotides, GTP and CTP are not. Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) which acts as a chemotactic agent and the inducer of the NADPH oxidase is catabolized. It is hydroxylated by a specific cytochrome P450 and then oxidized to a carboxy derivative by a cytosolic alcohol dehydrogenase and a microsomal aldehyde dehydrogenase in PMNL. Active NADPH oxidase was obtained by incubating membrane and cytosolic components of resting PMNL in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Two cytosolic components were obtained by an affinity chromatography on 2',5'-ADP Sepharose. One component is active in the presence of GTP or GTP-gamma-S and the other component in the presence of another cytosolic fraction.

Binding parameters for the interaction of GTP-gamma-[35S] with isolated platelet plasma membranes have been studied. Analysis of the data by a non-linear curve fitting program indicates that the interaction can be satisfactory described by a model with a single, high affinity binding site (Kd = 0.3 +/- 0.07 microM and Bm = 0.4 +/- 0.2 nmoles of GTP-gamma-S/mg of membrane protein). Binding is selectively inhibited by GDP-beta-S and GMP-PNP (1 microM), but not affected by ATP, CTP, ITP, or UTP, even at mM concentration. Optimal conditions for the interaction were 30 degrees C and pH 8.0. Incubation of the isolated membranes with GTP-gamma-S results in a measurable phospholipase C activity (as detected both by a breakdown of phosphoinositides and an increase of inositide phosphates) which under our experimental conditions is only slightly enhanced by addition of cytosolic proteins. Our results indicate that platelet plasma membranes contain all the necessary elements for signal transduction through the diacylglycerol/inositolphosphates pathway.

In human skin fibroblasts, low concentrations of extracellular ATP stimulated 45Ca2+ efflux from a slow-turnover intracellular pool, accompanied by inositol phosphate generation. These effects of ATP were not due to a generalized increase in plasma-membrane permeability. The EC50 (concn. giving 50% stimulation) for ATP was dependent on Ca2+ and Mg2+ concentrations in a manner which indicates that a form of ATP uncomplexed with bivalent cations is the active species. The rank order of potency of nucleotides was: ATP = UTP greater than adenosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate greater than ITP greater than ADP greater than UDP greater than other nucleoside triphosphates. Adenosine 5'-[alpha beta-methylene]triphosphate, adenosine 5'-[beta gamma-methylene]triphosphate and 2-methylthio-ATP were inactive. Thus the nucleotide specificity of this receptor is different from that of previously characterized P2 purinoceptors. Nucleotide-stimulated 45Ca2+ mobilization and inositol phosphate production were markedly inhibited by phorbol ester, and partially inhibited by pertussis-toxin pretreatment. These findings suggest that the coupling of nucleotide receptor to phospholipase C is mediated both by a pertussis-toxin-sensitive G-protein and by a pertussis-toxin-insensitive mechanism.

[3H]Inositol-labelled GH3 rat anterior pituitary tumour cells were permeabilized with digitonin and were incubated at 37 degrees C in the presence of ATP and Mg2+. [3H]Polyphosphoinositide breakdown and [3H]inositol phosphate production were stimulated by hydrolysis-resistant GTP analogues and by Ca2+. Of the nucleotides tested, guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP gamma S) was the most effective stimulus. Activation by GTP gamma S appeared to be mediated by a guanine nucleotide-binding (G) protein as GTP gamma S-stimulated [3H]inositol phosphate production was inhibited by other nucleotides with a potency order of GTP = GDP = guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate greater than ITP greater than GMP greater than UTP = CTP = adenosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate. The stimulatory effects of 10 microM-GTP gamma S on [3H]inositol phosphate levels were reversed by spermine and spermidine with IC50 values of approx. 0.25 and 2 mM respectively. Putrescine was inhibitory only at higher concentrations. Similarly, GTP gamma S-induced decreases in [3H]polyphosphoinositide levels were reversed by 2.5 mM-spermine. The inhibitory effects of spermine were not overcome by supramaximal concentrations of GTP gamma S. In contrast, [3H]inositol phosphate production stimulated by addition of 0.3-0.6 mM-Ca2+ to incubation media was only partially inhibited by spermine (5 mM), and spermine was not inhibitory when added Ca2+ was increased to 1 mM. These data show that polyamines, particularly spermine, inhibit phospholipase C-catalysed polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis with a marked selectivity towards the stimulatory effects of GTP gamma S.
