We have examined the cross talk between adenosine and bradykinin receptors in DDT1 MF-2 smooth muscle cells. Both adenosine and bradykinin mobilized intracellular free calcium via the formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Adenosine exerted its actions via adenosine A1 receptors as demonstrated by the observations that N6-cyclopentyladenosine, a selective A1 receptor agonist, had an EC50 in the low nanomolar range and that a selective adenosine A1 receptor antagonist, 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine, counteracted adenosine-mediated responses at concentrations typical for signaling via adenosine A1 receptors. Adenosine A1 receptors were coupled to phospholipase C via pertussis toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein(s) [G protein(s)], whereas bradykinin responses were unaffected by pertussis toxin. When adenosine or N6-cyclopentyladenosine was combined with bradykinin, the resulting formation of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate was more than additive, and the EC50 value for adenosine and N6-cyclopentyladenosine was shifted to the left by bradykinin, the affinity of which was unaltered. Combining N6-cyclopentyladenosine and bradykinin also synergistically raised intracellular free calcium both at subthreshold levels and at maximal concentrations of the two agonists. The interaction was not dependent upon cAMP. In conclusion, stimulation of adenosine A1 receptors coupled to pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein(s) and bradykinin receptors coupled to pertussis toxin-insensitive G protein(s) synergistically mobilizes intracellular free calcium and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation.

PC12 cells, a rat pheochromocytoma cell line, has been reported to release norepinephrine in response to extracellular ATP in the presence of extracellular Ca2+. The potency order of ATP analogues was adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) greater than ATP greater than adenosine 5'-O-(1-thiotriphosphate) = 2-methylthioadenosine 5'-triphosphate (MeSATP) greater than 2'- and 3'-O-(4-benzoyl-benzoyl)ATP (BzATP) greater than ADP greater than 5-adenylylimidodiphosphate. Adenosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate), beta, gamma-methyleneadenosine 5'-triphosphate, AMP and adenosine were inactive. The ATP action in the absence of extracellular Ca2+, suggests a small but appreciable contribution of intracellular Ca2+ mobilization, for norepinephrine release. However, for some ATP derivatives, like BzATP, almost no contribution of the phospholipase C-Ca2+ pathway is suggested, based on their low activity in inositol phosphates production. To identify the ATP-receptor protein, PC12 cell membranes were photoaffinity-labeled with [32P]BzATP. SDS-PAGE analysis showed that a 53-kDa protein labeling was inhibited by ATP and its derivatives, as well as by P2-antagonists, suramin and reactive blue 2, which inhibit the nucleotide-induced norepinephrine release. The inhibitory activity of the nucleotides was, in parallel with their potency, to induce norepinephrine release. Despite their inability to release norepinephrine, GTP and GTP gamma S inhibited the BzATP labeling, suggesting the participation of a putative G protein in the ATP-receptor-mediated actions. We suggest that the 53-kDa protein on the PC12 cell surface is an ATP receptor, which mediates the norepinephrine release, depending, mainly, on extracellular Ca2+ gating.

Extracellular ATP has been shown to induce intracellular Ca2+ mobilization and adenylate cyclase inhibition via P2 purinoceptors in several species of cells. Now we found that in calf vascular smooth muscle cells the addition of ATP to the medium did not induce inhibition but stimulation of cyclic AMP accumulation, in addition to stimulation of inositol phosphate production. Adenosine and AMP also induced cyclic AMP accumulation but their efficacy was much less than that of ATP. The ATP action was not influenced by the presence of either adenosine deaminase or of an ATP regenerating system, whereas the AMP action was increased by the regenerating system. The results indicate that the cyclic AMP accumulation by ATP is due to ATP itself but neither to adenosine nor to AMP, both of which are produced from ATP. ATP receptor coupled to the cyclic AMP generation was shown to be different from that coupled to phospholipase C based on the difference in the potency order of the receptor agonists and in the sensitivity of P2 receptor agonists to 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (CPX)- and suramin-induced antagonism. We conclude that in the aortic smooth muscle cells a novel P2-type receptor directly coupled to adenylate cyclase activation exists in addition to the previously known P2 receptor linked to phospholipase C activation.

The effect of adenosine on phosphoinositide hydrolysis was examined in 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells. Adenosine, L-N6-phenylisopropyladenosine (L-PIA), and 5'-(N-ethylcarboxamido)adenosine (NECA) inhibited histamine-stimulated accumulation of inositol phosphates in a concentration-dependent manner. The potency order of adenosine analogues for inhibition of inositol phosphate accumulation was L-PIA greater than adenosine greater than NECA, a finding indicating that A1-class adenosine receptors are involved in the inhibition. The reduction in inositol phosphate accumulation by L-PIA was blocked by an adenosine receptor antagonist, 8-phenyltheophylline. Stimulation of A1-class adenosine receptors inhibited isoproterenol-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation as well as histamine-induced inositol phosphate accumulation. Both inhibitory effects were blocked by pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin [islet-activating protein (IAP)]. L-PIA also inhibited guanosine 5'-(gamma-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S)-stimulated accumulation of inositol phosphates in membrane preparations, and 8-phenyl-theophylline antagonized the inhibition. L-PIA could not inhibit GTP gamma S-induced accumulation of inositol phosphates in IAP-treated membranes. Gi/Go, purified from rabbit brain, inhibited GTP gamma S-stimulated accumulation of inositol phosphates in a concentration-dependent manner in membrane preparations. These results suggest that stimulation of A1-class adenosine receptors interacts with the IAP-sensitive G protein(s), resulting in the inhibitions of phospholipase C as well as adenylate cyclase in human astrocytoma cells.

In voltage-clamped Xenopus oocytes injected with embryonic guinea pig mRNA, effective concentrations of extracellular ATP elicited an inward fluctuating current. This current, carried by Cl-ions, was mainly dependent upon liberation of Ca2+ ions from stores as demonstrated by experiments using intracellular EGTA loading and TMB-8 superfusion. Neomycin inhibited these fluctuating currents indicating that the transplanted purinoceptor is linked to phospholipase C activity and triggers Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation. Ins(1,4,5)P3 production evoked by external ATP was clearly demonstrated by directly measuring the water-soluble Ins(1,4,5)P3 level in injected oocytes. Finally, it is suggested that the ATP effect was mediated by a Ca2+ release from Ins(1,4,5)P3 sensitive pools since heparin blocked the ATP responsiveness. The acquired purinoceptor may be made apparent to a P2 subtype since ATP and ADP were equipotent in eliciting Cl- current while AMP and Adenosine were ineffective in injected oocytes.

Norepinephrine (NE) stimulated FRTL-5 thyroid cells via an alpha 1-adrenergic receptor, resulting in cytosolic Ca2+ [( Ca2+]i) mobilization and activation of phospholipase C. Adenosine and its receptor agonist, phenylisopropyladenosine (PIA), although not exerting a direct effect, markedly enhanced the NE-induced changes. Basal NE action was not totally abolished whereas the permissive action of adenosine and PIA was completely abolished by pretreatment of the cells with islet-activating protein (IAP), pertussis toxin. The decrease in cAMP level induced by adenosine or PIA is not the cause of their permissive effect, since the effect was not reversed by the addition of cAMP-increasing agents. We conclude that an IAP substrate GTP-binding protein(s) plays a novel role in forming a stimulatory coupling between an adenosine receptor and an alpha 1-adrenergic receptor-coupled phospholipase C system.

Extracellular ATP and other purinergic agonists were found to inhibit cAMP accumulation by depressing adenylate cyclase as an "inhibitory action" and/or to stimulate arachidonate release in association with phospholipase C or A2 activation and Ca2+ mobilization as "stimulatory actions" in FRTL-5 cells. The stimulatory actions of a group of P2-agonists represented by ATP were partially inhibited by the pretreatment of the cells with islet-activating protein (IAP), pertussis toxin, even when an about 41-kDa membrane protein(s) was completely ADP-ribosylated. Only the IAP-sensitive part of the stimulatory actions was antagonized by 1,3-diethyl-8-phenylxanthine (DPX), an adenosine antagonist. GTP and 8-bromoadenosine 5'-triphosphate (Br-ATP) at two to three orders of higher concentrations than ATP also exerted the stimulatory actions, although they were entirely insensitive to both IAP and DPX. Ligand binding experiments with, [35S]ATP gamma S and [3H]DPX showed that ATP occupies both DPX-sensitive and insensitive receptor sites, whereas GTP does only ATP-displaceable DPX-insensitive sites. Thus, lack of sensitivity of GTP action to DPX was associated with its inability to occupy the DPX-sensitive sites. Adenosine 5'-O-(1-thiotriphosphate) (ATP alpha S), adenosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (ADP beta S) and P1-agonists such as AMP and N6-(L-2-phenylisopropyl-adenosine (PIA) did not show any stimulatory action. Nevertheless, the agonists remarkably enhanced the stimulatory actions of GTP or Br-ATP. Such permissive actions of PIA and others were sensitive to both IAP and DPX, as were shown for a part of the stimulatory actions of ATP as well as the "inhibitory actions" of both PIA and ATP. We conclude that an IAP substrate G-protein(s) which mediates the inhibitory action of purinergic agonists via a DPX-sensitive purinergic receptor(s) may not directly link to the phospholipase C or A2 system but enhance the system which links to a DPX-insensitive P2-receptor, in an indirect or permissive manner.

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.

ATP, a trigger of P2-purinoceptor-mediated polyphosphoinositide (PI) turnover in cultured myotubes, increased cytosolic calcium levels in a time- and dose-dependent manner (quin2 fluorescence). The calcium was released from intracellular stores, as acute addition of 5 mM EGTA was without significant effect. Adenosine 5'-(3-thiotriphosphate) and 5'-adenylyl imidodiphosphate also increased intracellular levels of inositol phosphates (InsP) and cytosolic calcium levels. Treatment with cholera or pertussis toxin of myotube cultures did not affect the P2-purinoceptor-mediated InsP increase although PI turnover in permeabilized myotubes was stimulated by guanosine 5'-(3-thiotriphosphate). The results suggest that myotube P2-purinoceptors trigger PI turnover and increase intracellular free calcium levels, via a mechanism insensitive to ADP-ribosylation, by cholera or pertussis toxin of guanyl nucleotide-binding (G) proteins. However, the presence of a phospholipase C-coupled G-protein was otherwise demonstrated.

Phosphatidic acid (PA) formed following phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis has been proposed as a necessary step in receptor-mediated Ca2+ flux. This study demonstrates that PA generates Ca2+-dependent slow action potentials (APs) in rat atrium partially depolarized with 22 mM K+. The slow response was not due to release of endogenous catecholamines or prostaglandin formation since propranolol and indomethacin failed to attenuate the PA-induced slow AP in normal and reserpinized rats. PA-induced slow APs demonstrated Ca2+-dependence such that increasing [Ca2+]o from 0.5 to 5.0 mM caused the amplitude of the slow AP to rise linearly with the logarithm of [Ca2+]o. Phospholipase D (PLD) but not phospholipase C, was able to induce a slow AP, possibly through PA formation. Adenosine attenuated the PA and PLD-induced slow response and aminophylline reversed these effects. The observation that PA and PLD generate Ca2+-dependent slow APs in depolarized rat atrium supports a role for PA mediating Ca2+ influx.
