Extracellular nucleotides, acting through P2 purinoceptors, have been implicated in the regulation of ion transporting epithelia, including salivary gland acini. Multiple P2 purinoceptor subtypes have been suggested, including P2X, P2Y and P2U (or nucleotide) subtypes, as well as the P2Z subtype found in rat parotid acinar cells. We investigated responses to ATP, ATP analogs and UTP in transformed human submandibular gland duct cells (HSG-PA), in order to compare duct cell purinoreceptors with those in acinar cells. ATP, UTP and some ATP analogs increased, with different potencies, inositol phosphate accumulation, calcium mobilization and potassium efflux. Nucleotide-stimulated calcium mobilization occurred in the absence of, but was enhanced by, extracellular calcium, and maximal potassium efflux required extracellular calcium. UTP and ATP demonstrated equal potencies of about 1 microM and similar efficacies in eliciting these responses, and identical rank orders of potency for stimulating calcium mobilization and potassium efflux were obtained: UTP = ATP greater than ATP gamma S greater than ADP greater than ADP beta S, with alpha,beta-methylene-ATP and 2-methylthio-ATP having little or no effect. Agents reported to block nucleotide effects in parotid acini were ineffective in HSG-PA cells, and experiments in Mg(++)- and Ca(++)-free medium did not indicate that a form of ATP other than MgATP was the active species at the HSG-PA purinoceptor. The extracellular nucleotide effects were not altered by pertussis toxin. These results indicate the presence of a P2U or nucleotide receptor subtype in HSG-PA submandibular duct cells distinguishable from the P2Z purinoceptor of rat parotid acinar cells, suggesting involvement of multiple nucleotide receptor subtypes in salivary gland regulation.

When added to intact C6 glioma cells in the micromolar range of concentrations, ADP and ATP induce an inhibition of the isoproterenol-elicited cAMP responses. ATP is rapidly hydrolyzed by the ectonucleotidases present on these cells, with an apparent Km of 50 microM and a Vmax of 1.1 nmol/min/10(6) cells. cAMP responses are also inhibited by millimolar concentrations of either ATP in the presence of an ATP-regenerating system to prevent ADP accumulation or AMP-PCP. These observations show that, in C6 glioma cells, ADP is a more potent inhibitor of cAMP production than ATP, the latter acting indirectly, via its rapid hydrolysis to ADP. The additive inhibition of isoproterenol-elicited cAMP responses induced, on one hand, by the treatment of the cells with a phorbol ester and by addition of ADP to the cells, and, on the other hand, by the progressive disappearance of the effects of ADP and ATP when cells are treated with increasing concentrations of Pertussis toxin, demonstrate that ADP and ATP exert their action in C6 glioma cells via a P2 purinoceptor probably negatively coupled to adenylate cyclase and a G regulatory protein.

ATP produced whole-cell potassium currents in cultured endothelial cells of the bovine brain cortical arteries. P2 purinoceptor agonists evoked similar currents with the order of their potency: 2-methylthio ATP > ATP >> alpha, beta-methylene ATP > or = UTP > or = ADP >> AMP. ATP-evoked currents were inhibited by GDP beta S, but not by pertussis toxin (PTX). Furthermore, a phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor, protein kinase C inhibitor, or cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor had no effect on the currents. In addition to these effects, ATP enhanced intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in the presence and absence of extracellular Ca2+, and this [Ca2+]i increase was not inhibited by a PLC inhibitor. These results, thus, provide an indication that ATP activates the potassium channel and enhances [Ca2+]i via a P2Y purinoceptor linked to a PTX-insensitive G-protein, which is not involved in a PLC-mediated signaling pathway.

Whole-cell patch clamp recording and digital imaging microscopy were used to investigate the electrical and calcium signaling responses of murine J774 monocytes to chemoattractants and other calcium-mobilizing agonists. A latent outwardly rectifying K+ conductance, GkOR, was elicited within seconds by each of the following agonists: C5a, ATP, ADP, interleukin-8, and the adenosine analog 5'-(N-ethylcarboxamido)-adenosine. In terms of its pharmacologic profile and current-voltage (I-V) relation, GkOR was very similar to a P2 purinoceptor-activated K+ conductance previously described in rat mast cells and to a K+ conductance elicited in J774 cells by the GTP analog guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate). Agonist-induced elevation of calcium, primarily due to intracellular release, and the induction of GkOR both required a GTP-binding protein of the Gi family, as both events were blocked by pertussis toxin; intracellular dialysis with guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) also prevented the induction of GkOR, further implicating mediation by a G protein. Induction of GkOR did not depend upon influx of Ca2+, as it occurred equally well when the concentration of external Ca2+ was 100 nM or 2 mM. We attempted to uncouple agonist-induced calcium release from induction of GkOR by dialyzing the cell cytoplasm with Ca(2+)-EGTA or Ca(2+)-1,2-bis-(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA) buffers before agonist application. When the concentration of free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) was set to approximately 15 nM with 1.1 or 11 mM EGTA, a "slow"Ca2+ buffer, 10 nM C5a induced a large GkOR (11 nS at 1.1 mM EGTA versus 13.4 nS at 11 mM EGTA). Surprisingly, when [Ca2+]i was buffered at 15 nM with 10 mM BAPTA, a "rapid" Ca2+ buffer, C5a elicited a much smaller although significant K+ conductance (approximately 3 nS). Systematic increase in cytosolic [Ca2+]i upon dialysis with a series of 10 mM BAPTA-Ca2+ buffers (15-2400 nM [Ca2+]i) revealed activation of a very large K+ conductance (maximum 17.4 nS), even in the presumed absence of receptor stimulation. This conductance had a similar I-V relationship to GkOR, and activation occurred within the range of [Ca2+]i observed in intact cells following stimulation with C5a or ADP (EC50 approximately 475 nM [Ca2+]i). Activation of Gk thus may proceed in part via the release of intracellular calcium from a source in close proximity to the channel or other calcium-binding regulatory protein.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The effect of ATP on release of dopamine (DA) from rat striatum was studied using in vivo microdialysis. ATP increased the striatal extracellular levels of DA dose-dependently. These analogs produced an increase in DA according to this order of potency: 2-methylthio ATP > ATP > or = alpha,beta-methylene ATP > ADP > AMP > adenosine. Adenosine 5'-[beta, gamma imido]-triphosphate had a more prolonged effect on the increase in DA level than ATP. The ATP-induced increase in DA was inhibited by adding suramin, a nonselective P2 purinoceptor antagonist, and reactive blue 2, a P2Y purinoceptor antagonist, but not inhibited by xanthine amine congener, an adenosine receptor antagonist. Pertussis toxin reduced the increase in DA produced by ATP, which suggests that the P2 purinoceptor may be coupled with a G-protein in the rat striatum. Results suggest that P2Y purinoceptors may involve an ATP-induced increase in DA. The ATP-induced release of DA was tetrodotoxin-sensitive, Ca(2+)-dependent and was abolished by omega-conotoxin GVIA, indicating that the opening of voltage-sensitive Na+ channel and the Ca2+ influx through the N-type voltage-dependent calcium channel are both required for the ATP-induced increase in DA. The ATP-induced increase in DA is presumably due to the release of DA via the stimulation of P2Y purinoceptors in the rat striatum.

The effects of adenosine on hippocampal neurons were examined by patch-clamp recording and Ca2+ imaging using fura-2 fluorescence. In the whole-cell patch-clamp configuration, adenosine evoked outwardly rectifying K+ currents in a dose-dependent manner. These currents were not inhibited by a nonselective P1 purinoceptor antagonist or selective adenosine A1, A2A receptor antagonists and moreover, selective adenosine A1, A2A receptor agonists evoked no current. In contrast, P2 purinoceptor agonists produced similar outward currents with the order of potency: ADP > or = 2-methylthio ATP > ATP > adenosine >> AMP. No response was obtained to UTP, alpha, beta-methylene ATP or beta, gamma-methylene ATP. The intracellular perfusion of a broad G-protein inactivator, guanosine-5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDP beta S), abolished adenosine-evoked currents, whereas a Gi/Go-protein inhibitor, pertussis toxin, had no effect. Furthermore, the currents were blocked by a phospholipase C inhibitor, neomycin, or specific protein kinase C inhibitors, GF109203X (bisindolyl maleimide, C25H24N4O2) and protein kinase C inhibitor peptide. In the cell-attached patch-clamp configuration, adenosine elicited single-channel currents with two major kinds of slope conductances. Likewise, application of adenosine outside the patch electrode again produced single-channel currents with same conductances. A potent protein kinase C activator, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), induced single-channel currents in a fashion that mimics the effect of adenosine. The evoked currents were blocked by GF109203X. In addition, adenosine enhanced intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). This [Ca2+]i increase was inhibited by GDP beta S or neomycin, but was not affected by pertussis toxin. These results, thus, suggest that adenosine activates the K+ channel and enhances cytosolic Ca2+ release via a P2Y purinoceptor linked to a pertussis toxin-insensitive G-protein, which is involved in a phospholipase C-mediated phospholipid-signaling pathway.

In neuroblastoma X glioma hybrid NG108-15 cells, P2 purinoceptor agonists inhibited forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation with distinct selectivities and their activities could be partially reversed by P2 purinoceptor antagonists. The rank order of potency in inhibition of cyclic AMP accumulation was UTP > 2 methylthio-ATP (MeSATP) > benzoylbenzoic ATP (BzATP) = alpha, beta-methylene ATP (AMPCPP) > beta, gamma-methylene ATP (AMPPCP) > ATP > ADP > adenosine 5'-thiotriphosphate (ATP gamma S). Neither adenosine nor AMP caused any inhibitory effect on cyclic AMP accumulation. Pertussis toxin treatment of cells attenuated the inhibitory effect of UTP, MeSATP and ATP on cyclic AMP accumulation whereas it had no effect on the BzATP-induced response. In addition, P2-purinoceptor-mediated inhibition of cyclic AMP accumulation was insensitive to cytosolic Ca2+ concentration. The breakdown of cyclic AMP was enhanced by MeSATP but not by the addition of ATP, UTP and BzATP. Our results suggest that a pertussis toxin-sensitive Gi signalling pathway is directly coupled to the occupancy of P2u and P2y receptors in NG108-15 cells.

1. B10 cells, a clonal line of rat brain capillary endothelial cells, exhibit a single P2 purinoceptor, activation of which leads to increases in free intracellular calcium. In the current study the identity of this P2Y receptor was determined by its binding parameters for a range of purinoceptor ligands and by its complementary DNA (cDNA) sequence. The signal transduction mechanism activated by this receptor was also investigated. 2. The radioligand [35S]-dATP alpha S bound with high affinity (Kd = 9.8 nM) to the P2Y purinoceptor expressed on B10 cells, which was found to be extremely abundant (Bmax = 22.5 pmol mg-1 protein). The calculated Ki values of a range of P2 purinoceptor agonists which competitively displaced binding of [35S]-dATP alpha S led to the rank order of affinity: dATP alpha S (Ki 3.4 nM) > 2-chloroATP (2-ClATP) (13 nM), ATP (22 nM) > ATP gamma S (43 nM) > 2-methylthioATP (2-MeSATP) (88 nM) > ADP (368 nM) > > UTP, L-beta,gamma-methyleneATP (both > 10,000 nM). The P2 purinoceptor antagonists, Reactive blue 2 and suramin, were also able to displace binding, with Ki values of 833 and 1358 nM respectively. In contrast pyridoxal-phosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulphonic acid 4-sodium (PPADS) was able to displace only 20% of [35S]-dATP alpha S binding at a concentration of 100 microM. 3. 2-ClATP (EC50 = 0.22 microM), 2-MeSATP (0.54 microM), ADP (7.9 microM) and ATP (a partial agonist), but not UTP, inhibited the cyclic AMP formation stimulated by cholera toxin, in a manner that was prevented by pertussis toxin. The purinoceptor antagonist, PPADS, was found to be inactive at a concentration of 100 microM. 4. A P2Y receptor cDNA was derived from mRNA from B10 cells and from C6-2B, a rat glioma cell line known to possess a P2Y receptor that is coupled to the inhibition of adenylate cyclase. Sequence analysis of the entire coding region revealed that both were 100% identical to the rat P2Y1 purinoceptor cDNA. No other P2Y-type receptor mRNA could be detected in B10 cells. Exactly the same sequence was isolated from rat brain cortical astrocytes, where 2-MeSATP has been shown to increase phospholipase C activity. 5. Since the receptor responsible for the transduction shares with the aforementioned binding site significant pharmacological features, including a strong activity of 2-MeSATP (characteristic of P2Y1 receptors alone among all known P2Y purinoceptors) and an unusual insensitivity to PPADS, and since abundant mRNA is present of the P2Y1 receptor but not of any other type resembling the known P2Y receptors, it is concluded that a P2Y1 receptor on rat brain microvascular endothelial cells can account for all of the observations. This single P2Y1 receptor, therefore, appears to couple in different native cell types to either adenylate cyclase inhibition or to phospholipase C activation.

The P2Y6 receptor is a recently cloned P2 receptor which displays a high sensitivity for diphosphonucleotides. In 1321N1 astrocytoma cells stably expressing this receptor, UDP induced a slow and sustained accumulation of inositol trisphosphate via a pertussis toxin-insensitive G-protein: the maximal level was only reached after 15 min and a significant response was maintained for at least 3 h. A full second response to UDP was obtained after the first 45-min stimulation, but was lost after 165 min. This slow and sustained time-course and the lack of desensitization was reproduced with ADP. UTP was unable to restimulate the P2Y4 receptor, another recently cloned P2 receptor with a preference for UTP, after the first 5-min stimulation. The P2Y4 receptor is thus rapidly desensitized whereas desensitization of the P2Y6 receptor is delayed. The rank order of potency of various diphosphonucleotides at the P2Y6 receptor was: UDP > TDP > IDP > GDP > ADP >> CDP. The activity of three non-specific antagonists of P2 receptors was characterized by the following rank order of potency: reactive blue 2 > pyridoxal-phosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulphonic acid (PPADS) > suramin. In conclusion, the most impressive features of the human P2Y6 receptor revealed by this study are the slow and sustained time-course of its activation and its high resistance to desensitization.

ATP-induced arachidonic acid (AA) release was studied in [3H]AA-prelabeled cultured astrocytes. To characterize the P2 purinoceptor-mediated effect of ATP, the subtype-specific agonists 2-methylthio ATP (2-MeSATP) and UTP were compared. ATP, UTP, or 2-MeSATP induced a dose-dependent increase of [3H]AA release, with EC50 values of 22.7 microM, 29.4 microM, and 1.68 microM, respectively; alpha,beta-methyleneATP and adenosine had no effect. The order of potency was ATP = UTP > or = 2-MeSATP, indicating that ATP interacted with both P2Y1 and P2Y2 receptors to mediate AA release in astrocytes. The effect of ATP, UTP, or 2-MeSATP was markedly inhibited by pretreatment of cells with pertussis toxin. Ca2+ ionophore-A23187 and PKC activator-TPA mimicked the effects of these three agonists to stimulate AA release. ATP, UTP, and 2-MeSATP induced a rapidly initial rise of [Ca2+]i and a sustained [Ca2+]i increase. The AA release was blocked in the external Ca2+ free in condition the sustained [Ca2+]i increase was abolished. Both A23187- and TPA-induced AA release were also blocked in this condition. Furthermore, inorganic Ca2+ channel blocker Co2+ inhibited ATP, UTP, or 2-MeSATP induced AA release as well. Long-term (24 h) treatment of cells with TPA resulted in an attenuation of three agonists, TPA or A23187 response. Similarly, ATP or TPA promoted AA release was inhibited by the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade inhibitor PD 98059. ATP, TPA, or A23187 induced an increase in the activity and tyrosine phosphorylation of p42 MAPK, as well as a molecular weight shift, consistent with phosphorylation, of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2). ATP- and TPA-stimulated activation of p42 MAPK activity and tyrosine phosphorylation were inhibited by long-term TPA treatment, while A23187-stimulated effects were completely blocked. Furthermore, tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of p42 MAPK and mobility shift of cPLA2 induced by A23187 were reversed in the absence of external Ca2+, suggesting the involvement of PKCalpha in MAPK activation and mobility shift of cPLA2. Taken together, ATP-stimulated AA release was secondary to the activation of P2Y1 and P2Y2 receptors/PLC pathway. Ca2+ and PKC interact to regulate this response. Elevation of intracellular Ca2+, the mechanism involving extracellular Ca2+ influx, might act partly through PKCalpha activation and in turn MAPK might be activated, leading to cPLA2 phosphorylation and AA release.
