AU - Charles, Andrew C.. AU - Kater, Stanley B.. PY - 1999/1/15. Y1 - 1999/1/15. N2 - Calcium waves represent a widespread form of intercellular communication. Although they have been thought for a long time to require gap junctions, we recently demonstrated that mouse cortical astrocytes use an extracellular messenger for calcium wave propagation. The present experiments identify ATP as a major extracellular messenger in this system. Medium collected from astrocyte cultures during (but not before) calcium wave stimulation contains ATP. The excitatory effects of medium samples and of ATP are blocked by purinergic receptor antagonists and by pretreatment with apyrase; these same purinergic receptor antagonists block propagation of electrically evoked calcium waves. ATP, applied at the concentration measured in medium ...

Introduction: : Previously we demonstrated that trinucleotides released from the wound stimulate purinergic receptors and elicit a complex signaling cascade that ultimately mediates wound closure. Purpose: : Our goal is to evaluate the role and activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine residues that occur in response to injury induced purinergic receptor activation. Methods: : Primary corneal epithelial cells and HCE-Ts were used for evaluation. Calcium signaling was monitored using live cell confocal imaging with a perfusion system. Phosphorylation and localization of specific EGFR tyrosine residues was assessed using immunohistochemistry, confocal microscopy and western blot analysis. The EGFR was downregulated using a kinase inhibitor AG1478 or siRNA. Results: : We have demonstrated that downregulation of EGFR via siRNA or kinase inhibitors reduces injury induced ERK phosphorylation. Injury induced a differential phosphorylation of the EGFR on tyrosine residues,1068, ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Calcium increases in retinal glial cells evoked by light-induced neuronal activity. AU - Newman, Eric A.. PY - 2005/6/8. Y1 - 2005/6/8. N2 - Electrical stimulation of neurons in brain slices evokes increases in cytoplasmic Ca2+ in neighboring astrocytes. The present study tests whether similar neuron-to-glial signaling occurs in the isolated rat retina in response to light stimulation. Results demonstrate that Müller cells, the principal retinal glial cells, generate transient increases in Ca2+ under constant illumination. A flickering light stimulus increases the occurrence of these Ca2+ transients. Antidromic activation of ganglion cell axons also increases the generation of Müller cell Ca 2+ transients. The increases in Ca2+ transients evoked by light and antidromic stimulation are blocked by the purinergic antagonist suramin and by TTX. The addition of adenosine greatly potentiates the response to light, with light ON evoking large Ca2+ increases in Müller cells. Suramin, ...

Among high-risk patients undergoing CABG, the use of perioperative acadesine for 7 hours was not beneficial. This agent did not reduce all-cause mortality, nonfatal stroke, or need for mechanical support compared with placebo. This contrasts the results of five previous studies in over 4,000 patients, which suggested benefit with acadesine. This medication joins the list of other disproven cardioprotective drugs during CABG: sodium-proton exchange inhibitor, purinergic receptor antagonist, and complement activation inhibitor.. ...

Our present data show, for the first time, that V-ATPase is expressed in the mouse OE. V-ATPase was detected in olfactory cells, nerve fiber cells, Bowmans glands, and the vomeronasal organ. The V-ATPase B1 subunit isoform, a marker of specialized proton-secreting cells (3, 28, 32, 36), was found to localize to the microvilli of the apical plasma membrane of sustentacular cells and to the lateral membrane in a subpopulation of olfactory sensory cells. On the other hand, V-ATPase holoenzymes containing the B2 subunit isoform were found to generally assume a more subapical localization in olfactory sustentacular cells. This is reminiscent of other proton-secreting epithelia, such as renal collecting duct A-type intercalated cells (ICs), in which the B1 isoform localizes to the apical membrane and subapical domain, whereas the B2 isoform localization is less polarized, covering the region between the apical membrane and the nucleus and, more generally, the cytosolic domain (32, 34). This is ...

Stimulation of almost all mammalian cell types leads to the release of cellular ATP and autocrine feedback through a diverse array of purinergic receptors. Depending on the types of purinergic receptors that are involved, autocrine signalling can promote or inhibit cell activation and fine-tune func …

In metabolic regulation of the coronary circulation, cardiac myocyte modulates coronary vascular tone by secreting signals. We hypothesized that 3 different substances, hydrogen peroxide, ADP, and angiotensin, produced by cardiac myocytes control coronary vascular tone in proportion to metabolism. To test this hypothesis, we measured changes in diameter of isolated, pressurized coronary arterioles (76±6 μm, diameter) in response to supernatant collected from enzymatically isolated cardiac myocytes in rat (unpaced or stimulated 20, 60, 120 min at 400 beats/min, n=10, each). Pacing increased oxygen consumption and changed the level of hydrogen peroxide (18±5 μM, 31±5 μM, 24±4 μM in 20, 60, 120 min, respectively) in myocytes supernatant. Changes in diameter of arterioles were determined under control condition and following treatment of the isolated arterioles with non-selective purinergic antagonist, 8-parasulfophenyl-theophilline (8-PSPT, 50 μM), selective ADP antagonist, ...

Purinergic signaling is a growing area of research investigating the diverse roles of receptors and enzymes that interact with nucleotides and nucleosides such as ATP and adenosine. Purinergic receptors (P1, P2Y, and P2X) and ectonucleotidases (CD39 and CD73) have been widely implicated in health and disease. Here, they contribute to numerous physiological and pathophysiological processes, ranging from control of vascular tone to antiparasitic immune responses. In recent years, there has been increased interest in the roles of purinergic receptors as key mediators of inflammation and immunity following the reception of damage-associated ATP release. We are particularly interested in further uncovering these roles and highlighting the importance of purinergic signaling within pathophysiological processes. Purinergic receptors are amongst the most abundant receptor type in living organisms and are widely found in the immune system. Here, they are primarily expressed by leukocytes and are involved in a

Purinergic signalling (or signaling: see American and British English differences) is a form of extracellular signalling mediated by purine nucleotides and nucleosides such as adenosine and ATP. It involves the activation of purinergic receptors in the cell and/or in nearby cells, thereby regulating cellular functions. The purinergic signalling complex of a cell is sometimes referred to as the purinome. Purinergic receptors, represented by several families, are among the most abundant receptors in living organisms and appeared early in evolution. Among invertebrates, the purinergic signalling system has been found in bacteria, amoeba, ciliates, algae, fungi, anemones, ctenophores, platyhelminthes, nematodes, crustacea, molluscs, annelids, echinoderms, and insects. In green plants, extracellular ATP and other nucleotides induce an increase in the cytosolic concentration of calcium ions, in addition to other downstream changes that influence plant growth and modulate responses to stimuli. In ...

Naphthalene produces species and cell selective injury to respiratory tract epithelial cells of rodents. In these studies we determined the apparent K{sub m}, V{sub max}, and catalytic efficiency (V{sub max}/K{sub m}) for naphthalene metabolism in microsomal preparations from subcompartments of the respiratory tract of rodents and non-human primates. In tissues with high substrate turnover, major metabolites were derived directly from naphthalene oxide with smaller amounts from conjugates of diol epoxide, diepoxide, and 1,2- and 1,4-naphthoquinones. In some tissues, different enzymes with dissimilar K{sub m} and V{sub max} appeared to metabolize naphthalene. The rank order of V{sub max} (rat olfactory epithelium , mouse olfactory epithelium , murine airways ≫ rat airways) correlated well with tissue susceptibility to naphthalene. The V{sub max} in monkey alveolar subcompartment was 2% that in rat nasal olfactory epithelium. Rates of metabolism in nasal compartments of the monkey were low. The ...
