Abstract
BACKGROUND INFORMATION ATP is released from many cell types exposed to hypo-osmotic shock and is involved in RVD (regulatory volume decrease). Purinergic signalling events have been extensively investigated in mammals, but not in marine teleosteans. RESULTS The effect of hypo-osmotic shock on ATP release was examined in isolated hepatocytes from turbot (Scophthalmus maximus), a marine flatfish. Hypo-osmotic stress (240 mOsm x kg(-1)) induced a significant increase in ATP efflux, and was inhibited by a potential CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) inhibitor, glibenclamide, but not by the MDR1 (multidrug resistance 1) P-glycoprotein inhibitor, verapamil. ATP efflux could be a cAMP-dependent process, as IBMX (isobutylmethylxanthine) and forskolin triggered the process under iso-osmotic conditions. Protein kinases, including protein kinase C, could also be involved, as staurosporine and chelerythrine inhibited the mechanism. Calcium could contribute to ATP efflux as ionomycin, a calcium ionophore, elicited a rapid release under iso-osmotic conditions, and chelation using EGTA abolished ATP release under hypo-osmotic conditions. RVD was partially abolished by apyrase, an ATP scavenger, and suramin, a purinoceptor antagonist. Moreover, hypo-osmotic shock induced a rise in intracellular calcium which could be involved in RVD. Since extracellular ATP triggered an increase in cellular free-calcium content under iso-osmotic conditions, our results could indicate that hypo-osmotic-induced ATP efflux contributes to RVD in turbot hepatocytes by stimulating purinergic receptors, which may lead to activation of a calcium signalling pathway. CONCLUSIONS These data provide the first evidence of volume-sensitive ATP signalling for volume maintenance in a marine teleost fish cell type.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion activates ERK and p38 MAPK in cardiac membranes, but the role of caveolae in MAPK signaling during this stress has not been studied. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of in vivo myocardial ischemia-reperfusion on the level and distribution of caveolin-1 and -3 and cholesterol as well as MAPK activation in caveolin-enriched fractions. Adult male rats were subjected to in vivo regional myocardial ischemia induced by 25 min of coronary artery occlusion and 10 min ( n = 5) or 2 h ( n = 4) of reperfusion. Another group of rats served as appropriate nonischemic time controls ( n = 4). A discontinuous sucrose density gradient was used to isolate caveolae/lipid rafts from ischemic and nonischemic heart tissue. Caveolin-1 and -3, as well as cholesterol, were enriched in the light fractions. A redistribution of caveolin-3 and a reduction in caveolin-1 and cholesterol levels in the light fractions occurred after 10 min of reperfusion. The ERKs were activated in ischemic zone light and heavy fractions by 10 min of reperfusion. p44 ERK was activated after 2 h of reperfusion only in the light fractions, whereas p42 ERK phosphorylation was increased in the light and heavy fractions. Although no p38 MAPK activation occurred after 10 min of reperfusion, 2 h of reperfusion caused significant activation of p38 MAPK in nonischemic zone light and heavy fractions. These results show the importance of caveolar membrane/lipid rafts in MAPK signaling and suggest that subcellular compartmentation of p44/p42 ERKs and p38 MAPK may play distinct roles in the response to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion.

Abstract
The effect of hyposmotic shock on exocytosis was examined in isolated hepatocytes of turbot, a marine flatfish, using the molecular probe FM1-43. Sudden exposure to a reduced osmolality caused an increase in cell exocytic activity related to the osmotic gradient between intra- and extracellular fluids. Cytoskeletal microtubules could contribute to this hyposmotic-induced exocytosis since colchicine inhibited the process. Protein kinase C, phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase, phospholipases A2, C and D could constitute key enzymes in the mechanism since their inhibition by specific agents altered the hyposmotic-induced exocytic activity. Moreover, arachidonic acid and derivates from the 5-lipoxygenase pathway as well as calcium could participate in the process. As regulatory volume decrease (RVD) exhibited by turbot hepatocytes following hyposmotic stimulation involves similar features, a potential role of exocytosis in volume regulation is suggested. In particular, exocytosis could serve RVD by contributing to ATP release since this latter process similarly appeared to be phospholipase D-dependent and related to the osmotic gradient. This study provides the first evidence of a volume-sensitive exocytosis that could aim at volume constancy in a marine teleost fish cell type.

Abstract
Extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) was proposed to be an activity-dependent signaling molecule that regulates glia-glia and glia-neuron communications. ATP is a neurotransmitter of its own right and, in addition, a cotransmitter of other classical transmitters such as glutamate or GABA. The effects of ATP are mediated by two receptor families belonging either to the P2X (ligand-gated cationic channels) or P2Y (G protein-coupled receptors) types. P2X receptors are responsible for rapid synaptic responses, whereas P2Y receptors mediate slow synaptic responses and other types of purinergic signaling involved in neuronal damage/regeneration. ATP may act at pre- and postsynaptic sites and therefore, it may participate in the phenomena of long-term potentiation and long-term depression of excitatory synaptic transmission. The release of ATP into the extracellular space, e.g., by exocytosis, membrane transporters, and connexin hemichannels, is a widespread physiological process. However, ATP may also leave cells through their plasma membrane damaged by inflammation, ischemia, and mechanical injury. Functional responses to the activation of multiple P2 receptors were found in neurons and glial cells under normal and pathophysiological conditions. P2 receptor-activation could either be a cause or a consequence of neuronal cell death/glial activation and may be related to detrimental and/or beneficial effects. The present review aims at demonstrating that purinergic mechanisms correlate with the etiopathology of brain insults, especially because of the massive extracellular release of ATP, adenosine, and other neurotransmitters after brain injury. We will focus in this review on the most important P2 receptor-mediated neurodegenerative and neuroprotective processes and their beneficial modulation by possible therapeutic manipulations.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein (Pgp) is a well-defined ATP-binding cassette (ABC) protein and a close relative of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), whose dysfunction causes cystic fibrosis (CF). It is postulated that Pgp can complement deficient CFTR functions because of structural and functional homologies. One of the most relevant functions appears to be the regulation of ATP release, which influences mucociliary clearance in respiratory epithelia by nucleotide receptor stimulation. However, mechanisms involved in ATP secretion remain a controversial issue. In the present study, CF epithelial cells (sigmaCFTE29ó) were transduced with the retroviral vector MP1m encoding Pgp, and thus, a stable Pgp-overexpressing CF cell line (sigmaCFTE29óPgp) was established and used for studies of hypothesized CFTR complementation. In addition, overexpression of native Pgp in sigmaCFTE29ó could also be achieved by long-term treatment with colchicine, a drug, which may be of great interest in CF therapy. We confirmed that overexpression of Pgp causes a significant increase in cellular ATP release, which could even be enhanced by stimulation with hypoosmolar medium. A potential clinical benefit is discussed.

Abstract
The maxianion channel is widely expressed in many cell types, where it fulfills a general physiological function as an ATP-conductive gate for cell-to-cell purinergic signaling. Establishing the molecular identity of this channel is crucial to understanding the mechanisms of regulated ATP release. A mitochondrial porin (voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC)) located in the plasma membrane has long been considered as the molecule underlying the maxianion channel activity, based upon similarities in the biophysical properties of these two channels and the purported presence of VDAC protein in the plasma membrane. We have deleted each of the three genes encoding the VDAC isoforms individually and collectively and demonstrate that maxianion channel (approximately 400 picosiemens) activity in VDAC-deficient mouse fibroblasts is unaltered. The channel activity is similar in VDAC1/VDAC3-double-deficient cells and in double-deficient cells with the VDAC2 protein depleted by RNA interference. VDAC deletion slightly down-regulated, but never abolished, the swelling-induced ATP release. The lack of correlation between VDAC protein expression and maxianion channel activity strongly argues against the long held hypothesis of plasmalemmal VDAC being the maxianion channel.

Abstract
Pulmonary neuroendocrine cells (PNEC) produce amine (serotonin, 5-HT) and peptides (e.g., bombesin, calcitonin) with growth factor-like properties and are thought to play an important role in lung development. Because physical forces are essential for lung growth and development, we investigated the effects of mechanical strain on 5-HT release in PNEC freshly isolated from rabbit fetal lung and in the PNEC-related tumor H727 cell line. Cultures exposed to sinusoidal cyclic stretch showed a significant 5-HT release inhibitable with gadolinium chloride (10 nM), a blocker of mechanosensitive channels. In contrast to hypoxia (Po2 approximately 20 mmHg), stretch-induced 5-HT release was not affected by Ca2+-free medium or nifedipine (50 microM), excluding the exocytic pathway. In H727 cells, stretch failed to release calcitonin, a peptide stored within dense core vesicles (DCV), whereas hypoxia caused massive calcitonin release. 5-HT released by mechanical stretch is derived predominantly from the cytoplasmic pool, because it is rapid ( approximately 5 min) and is releasable from early (20 days of gestation) fetal PNEC containing few DCV. Both mechanical stretch and hypoxia upregulated expression of tryptophan hydroxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme of 5-HT synthesis. We conclude that mechanical strain is an important physiological stimulus for the release of 5-HT from PNEC via mechanosensitive channels with potential effects on lung development and resorption of lung fluid at the time of birth.

Abstract
We have examined the cultured human bronchial epithelial cells (16HBE) to learn if changes in Cl(-) concentration or osmolality stimulate the cells to release ATP and to determine whether its release is cyclic AMP (cAMP)- and/or Ca(2+)-dependent by using the luciferin-luciferase luminometric assay. In a control solution (290 mosmol kg H(2)O(-1)), the external ATP concentration and the rate of ATP release were 0.52 +/- 0.20 nM and 0.036 +/- 0.034 pmol min(-1), respectively. Upon hypotonicity (205 mosmol kg H(2)O(-1)), they increased to 7.0 +/- 1.3 nM and 3.1 +/- 0.6 pmol min(-1), respectively, at 6 min, then decreased. At the peak, the rate of ATP release is estimated to be 6.2x10(4) ATP molecules s(-1) per cell. An accumulation of the released ATP for the initial 10 min increased significantly (p < 0.005) by 71.5% in the presence of forskolin (10 microM), adenylyl cyclase activator, however, it was abolished (p < 0.001) by pretreatment with BAPTA-AM (25 microM), a membrane permeable Ca(2+) chelator. On the other hand, neither low Cl(2-) (75 mM, isotonic) nor hypertonicity (+NaCl or +mannitol, 500 mosmol kg H(2)O(-1)) could significantly increase the ATP release. Further, forskolin or ionomycin (a Ca(2+) ionophore) or, both, failed to stimulate ATP release under the isotonic condition. In conclusion, first, hypertonicity and changes in Cl(-) concentrations are not effective signals for the ATP release; second, hypotonicity-induced ATP release is potentiated by the level of intracellular Ca(2+) and cAMP; and third, a biphasic increase in ATP release and its low rate at the peak support the hypothesis that ATP is released through a non-conducting pathway model, such as exocytosis, or through a volume-dependent, ATP-conductive anion channel.

Abstract
Ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases (E-NTPDases) are widely expressed enzymes implicated in the modulation of nucleotide cell signaling. They dephosphorylate either ATP or ADP in the presence of divalent cations, and efforts have been made to identify efficient inhibitors. E-NTPDase activity has been described in Torpedo electric organ electrocytes. We show here that gadolinium, an established blocker of stretch-activated channels, efficiently inhibits E-NTPDase activity of Torpedo electric organ (Ki = 3 microM for ATPase) as well as apyrase from potato tuber, frequently used in inhibition experiments. To our knowledge, gadolinium is the most potent inhibitor described to date for both membrane-bound and soluble E-NTPDases.

Abstract
Mechanical stresses release ATP from a variety of cells by a poorly defined mechanism(s). Using custom-designed flow-through chambers, we investigated the kinetics of cell swelling-induced ATP secretion, cell volume and intracellular calcium changes in epithelial A549 and 16HBE14o- cells, and NIH/3T3 fibroblasts. Fifty per cent hypotonic shock triggered transient ATP release from cell confluent monolayers, which consistently peaked at around 1 min 45 s for A549 and NIH/3T3, and at 3 min for 16HBE14o- cells, then declined to baseline within the next 15 min. Whereas the release time course had a similar pattern for the three cell types, the peak rates differed significantly (294 +/- 67, 70 +/- 22 and 17 +/- 2.8 pmol min(-1) (10(6) cells)(-1), for A549, 16HBE14o- and NIH/3T3, respectively). The concomitant volume changes of substrate-attached cells were analysed by a 3-dimensional cell shape reconstruction method based on images acquired from two perpendicular directions. The three cell types swelled at a similar rate, reaching maximal expansion in 1 min 45 s, but differed in the duration of the volume plateau and regulatory volume decrease (RVD). These experiments revealed that ATP release does not correlate with either cell volume expansion and the expected activation of stretch-sensitive channels, or with the activation of volume-sensitive, 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino) benzoic acid-inhibitable anion channels during RVD. By contrast, ATP release was tightly synchronized, in all three cell types, with cytosolic calcium elevations. Furthermore, loading A549 cells with the calcium chelator BAPTA significantly diminished ATP release (71% inhibition of the peak rate), while the calcium ionophore ionomycin triggered ATP release in the absence of cell swelling. Lowering the temperature to 10 degrees C almost completely abolished A549 cell swelling-induced ATP release (95% inhibition of the peak rate). These results strongly suggest that calcium-dependent exocytosis plays a major role in mechanosensitive ATP release.

Abstract
Reducing osmolarity by 35% increased (3)H-taurine efflux from Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts from 0.5% to a peak of 5.7%. The presence of ATP (10-100 microM; EC(50) 1.5 microM) increased taurine efflux up to 10%, and decreased the set point for hyposmotically stimulated taurine release (HTR). ATP potentiation was mimicked by UTP, reduced by addition of suramin and pyridoxal phosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulphonic acid (PPADS) and unaffected by ADP, beta,gamma-methylene-ATP (beta,gamma-ATP) or 2-methylthio-ATP (Me-ATP), suggesting its mediation by purinergic P2Y(2) and P2Y(4) metabotropic receptors. Under isosmotic conditions ATP increased the cytosolic [Ca(2+)] ([Ca(2+)](i)) markedly, but did not increase taurine release. HTR was independent of external Ca(2+) but was reduced (by 56-59%) by BAPTA-AM, thapsigargin-induced depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores, or phospholipase C (PLC) inhibition. Blockade of calmodulin (CaM) or calmodulin kinase II (CaMKII) reduced HTR by 54% and 76%, respectively. The ATP-mediated potentiation was prevented fully by all these treatments. HTR was reduced by 30-50% by blockers of protein tyrosine kinases (AG18), phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) (wortmannin), p21rho (toxin B), p21rho-kinase (Y27632) and the stress-activated kinase p38 (PD169316). ATP-mediated potentiation was reduced similarly by these blockers. Simultaneous inhibition of PI3K and CaMKII abolished HTR. Altogether, these results suggest a modulatory effect of ATP, probably exerted by a potentiation of the Ca(2+)-dependent fraction of HTR. This fraction has as signalling elements a PLC-dependent [Ca(2+)](i) increase, resulting from Ca(2+) released from thapsigargin-sensitive internal stores, followed by activation of CaM/CaMKII reactions. The Ca(2+)/ATP effect operates only when the Ca(2+)-independent, tyrosine kinase-mediated pathway is already activated. Suggested elements of cross-talk between the two pathways are PLC, PI3K and CaMKII.

Abstract
We investigated regulation by extracellular ATP of channels important for volume regulation of rat hippocampal neurons. Cultures made from fetuses at the eighteenth gestational day were predominantly neuronal after 10-20 days in vitro, as indicated by immunostaining for neuron specific enolase. Neurons recorded with whole-cell patch clamp showed inward currents when membrane voltages were driven to values greater than -50 mV. Chloride conductance increased with 10 microM-100 microM extracellular ATP in a dose-dependent fashion. Similarly, an increase in taurine conductance was observed with 50 microM ATP. These currents were inhibited by the anion channel and purinergic receptor antagonists niflumic acid and suramin, respectively. The chloride conductance response to 10 microM ATP was increased over eight-fold in hypoosmotic medium (250 mOsm); however, chloride conductance in 0 mM ATP was not altered by this osmolality. Thus anion and osmolyte conducting channels activated via purinergic receptors may mediate volume regulation of hippocampal neurons.

Abstract
It is known that the level of ATP in the interstitial spaces within the heart during ischaemia or hypoxia is elevated due to its release from a number of cell types, including cardiomyocytes. However, the mechanism by which ATP is released from these myocytes is not known. In this study, we examined a possible involvement of the ATP-conductive maxi-anion channel in ATP release from neonatal rat cardiomyocytes in primary culture upon ischaemic, hypoxic or hypotonic stimulation. Using a luciferin-luciferase assay, it was found that ATP was released into the bulk solution when the cells were subjected to chemical ischaemia, hypoxia or hypotonic stress. The swelling-induced ATP release was inhibited by the carboxylate- and stilbene-derivative anion channel blockers, arachidonic acid and Gd3+, but not by glibenclamide. The local concentration of ATP released near the cell surface of a single cardiomyocyte, measured by a biosensor technique, was found to exceed the micromolar level. Patch-clamp studies showed that ischaemia, hypoxia or hypotonic stimulation induced the activation of single-channel events with a large unitary conductance (approximately 390 pS). The channel was selective to anions and showed significant permeability to ATP4- (PATP/PCl approximately 0.1) and MgATP2- (PATP/PCl approximately 0.16). The channel activity exhibited pharmacological properties essentially identical to those of ATP release. These results indicate that neonatal rat cardiomyocytes respond to ischaemia, hypoxia or hypotonic stimulation with ATP release via maxi-anion channels.

Abstract
Nucleotides within the airway surface liquid (ASL) regulate airway epithelial ion transport rates by Ca(2+) -and protein kinase C-dependent mechanisms via activation of specific P2Y receptors. Extracellular adenine nucleotides also serve as precursors for adenosine, which promotes cyclic AMP-mediated activation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator chloride channel via A(2b) adenosine receptors. A biological role for extracellular ATP in ASL volume homeostasis has been suggested by the demonstration of regulated ATP release from airway epithelia. However, nucleotide hydrolysis at the airway surface makes it difficult to assess the magnitude of ATP release and the relative abundance of adenyl purines and, hence, to define their biological functions. We have combined ASL microsampling and high performance liquid chromatography analysis of fluorescent 1,N(6)-ethenoadenine derivatives to measure adenyl purines in ASL. We found that adenosine, AMP, and ADP accumulated in high concentrations relative to ATP within the ASL covering polarized primary human normal or cystic fibrosis airway epithelial cells. By using immortalized epithelial cell monolndogenayers that eously express a luminal A(2b) adenosine receptor, we found that basal as well asforskolin-promoted cyclic AMP production was reduced by exogenous adenosine deaminase, suggesting that A(2b) receptors sense endogenous adenosine within the ASL. The physiological role of adenosine was further established by illustrating that adenosine removal or inhibition of adenosine receptors in primary cultures impaired ASL volume regulation. Our data reveal a complex pattern of nucleotides/nucleosides in ASL under resting conditions and suggest that adenosine may play a key role in regulating ASL volume homeostasis.

Abstract
Airway mucociliary clearance is subject to the autocrine/paracrine regulation of extracellular nucleotides released from the airway epithelial cells. The present study was performed in pursuit of effective modulators of ATP release under physiologic conditions in polarized human airway epithelial cells (Calu-3). Neither isoproterenol, forskolin, nor ionomycin augmented extracellular ATP release detected by luciferase assay. However, direct activation of the human intermediate conductance, Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel (hIK-1) by 1-ethyl-2-benzimdazolinone (1-EBIO, 1 mM) and chlorzoxazone (CZ, 1 mM) increased ATP release predominantly in the apical compartment. Measurement of fluo-3 signals revealed that 1-EBIO- and CZ-stimulated cytosolic Ca(2+) mobilization was suppressed by the presence of MRS-2179, a specific P2Y(1) receptor antagonist. The hIK-1-mediated ATP release was inhibited by a hIK-1 blocker (charybdotoxin), and an Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransport blocker (bumetanide) without interruption by GdCl(3), an inhibitor of stretch-activated nonselective cation (SA) channels, or glybenclamide, a blocker of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). These results suggest that a cell volume decrease via the hIK-1-mediated KCl loss and the resultant induction of a regulatory volume increase via the Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) transporter may trigger release of ATP, which causes P2Y(1)-mediated Ca(2+) mobilization, through mechanisms unrelated to the CFTR and SA channels.

Abstract
Recently, ATP has gained much interest as an extracellular messenger involved in the communication of calcium signals between cells. The mechanism of ATP release is, however, still a matter of debate. In the present study we investigated the possible contribution of connexin hemichannels or ion channels in the release of ATP in GP8, a rat brain endothelial cell line. Release of ATP was triggered by photoactivation of InsP(3) or by reducing the extracellular calcium concentration. Both trigger protocols induced ATP release significantly above baseline. InsP(3)-triggered ATP release was completely blocked by alpha-glycyrrhetinic acid (alpha-GA), the connexin mimetic peptides gap 26 and 27, and the trivalent ions gadolinium and lanthanum. ATP release triggered by zero calcium was, in addition to these substances, also blocked by flufenamic acid (FFA), niflumic acid, and NPPB. Gap 27 selectively blocked zero calcium-triggered ATP release in connexin-43 transfected HeLa cells, while having no effect in wild-type and connexin-32 transfected cells. Of all the agents used, only alpha-GA, FFA and NPPB significantly reduced gap junctional coupling. In conclusion, InsP(3) and zero calcium-triggered ATP release show major similarities but also some differences in their sensitivity to the agents applied. It is suggested that both stimuli trigger ATP release through the same mechanism, which is connexin-dependent, permeable in both directions, potently blocked by connexin mimetic peptides, and consistent with the opening of connexin hemichannels.

Abstract
ATP can be released from a variety of cell types by mechanical stimulation; however, the mechanism for this release and the influence of pathology are not well understood. The present study examined intracellular signaling mechanisms involved in swelling-evoked (exposure to a hypotonic solution) release of ATP in urothelial cells from normal cats and cats diagnosed with interstitial cystitis (feline interstitial cystitis; FIC). Using the luciferin-luciferase bioluminescent assay, we demonstrate that swelling-evoked ATP release is significantly elevated in FIC cells. In both normal and FIC cells, ATP release was significantly decreased (mean 70% decrease) by application of blockers of stretch-activated channels (amiloride or gadolinium), as well as brefeldin A and monensin (mean 90% decrease), suggesting that ATP release occurs when ATP-containing vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane. Swelling-evoked release was reduced after removal of external calcium (65%), and release was blocked by incubation with BAPTA-AM or agents that interfere with internal calcium stores (caffeine, ryanodine, heparin, or 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate). In addition, agents known to act through inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) receptors (thapsigargin, acetylcholine) release significantly more ATP in FIC compared with normal urothelium. Taken together, these results suggest that FIC results in a novel hypersensitivity to mechanical stimuli that may involve alterations in IP3-sensitive pathways.

Abstract
Previous studies have suggested that activation of ATP-sensitive P2X receptors in skeletal muscle play a role in mediating the exercise pressor reflex (Li J and Sinoway LI. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 283: H2636-H2643, 2002). To determine the role ATP plays in this reflex, it is necessary to examine whether muscle interstitial ATP (ATPi) concentrations rise with muscle contraction. Accordingly, in this study, muscle contraction was evoked by electrical stimulation of the L7 and S1 ventral roots of the spinal cord in 12 decerebrate cats. Muscle ATPi was collected from microdialysis probes inserted in the muscle. ATP concentrations were determined by the HPLC method. Electrical stimulation of the ventral roots at 3 and 5 Hz increased mean arterial pressure by 13 +/- 2 and 16 +/- 3 mmHg (P < 0.05), respectively, and it increased ATP concentration in contracting muscle by 150% (P < 0.05) and 200% (P < 0.05), respectively. ATP measured in the opposite control limb did not rise with ventral root stimulation. Section of the L7 and S1 dorsal roots did not affect the ATPi seen with 5-Hz ventral root stimulation. Finally, ventral roots stimulation sufficient to drive motor nerve fibers did not increase ATP in previously paralyzed cats. Thus ATPi is not largely released from sympathetic or motor nerves and does not require an intact afferent reflex pathway. We conclude that ATPi is due to the release of ATP from contracting skeletal muscle cells.

Abstract
ATP mediates intercellular communication. Mechanical stress and changes in cell volume induce ATP release from various cell types, both secretory and non-secretory. In the present study, we stressed Xenopus oocytes with a hypertonic solution enriched in mannitol (300 mM). We measured simultaneously ATP release and ionic currents from a single oocyte. A decrease in cell volume, the activation of an inward current and ATP release were coincident. We found two components of ATP release: the first was associated with granule or vesicle exocytosis, because it was inhibited by tetanus neurotoxin, and the second was related to the inward current. A single exponential described the correlation between ATP release and the hypertonic-activated current. Gadolinium ions, which block mechanically activated ionic channels, inhibited the ATP release and the inward current but did not affect the decrease in volume. Oocytes expressing CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator) released ATP under hypertonic shock, but ATP release was significantly inhibited in the first component: that related to granule exocytosis. Since the ATP measured is the balance between ATP release and ATP degradation by ecto-enzymes, we measured the nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase (NTPDase) activity of the oocyte surface during osmotic stress, as the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of ATP, which was inhibited by more than 50 % in hypertonic conditions. The best-characterized membrane protein showing NTPDase activity is CD39. Oocytes injected with an antisense oligonucleotide complementary to CD39 mRNA released less ATP and showed a lower amplitude in the inward current than those oocytes injected with water.

Abstract
In renal A6 epithelia, an acute hypotonic shock evokes a transient increase in the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) through a mechanism that is sensitive to the P2 receptor antagonist suramin, applied to the basolateral border only. This finding has been further characterized by examining ATP release across the basolateral membrane with luciferin-luciferase (LL) luminescence. Polarized epithelial monolayers, cultured on permeable supports were mounted in an Ussing-type chamber. We developed a LL pulse protocol to determine the rate of ATP release (R(ATP)) in the basolateral compartment. Therefore, the perfusion at the basolateral border was repetitively interrupted during brief periods (90 s) to measure R(ATP) as the slope of the initial rise in ATP content detected by LL luminescence. Under isosmotic conditions, 1 microl of A6 cells released ATP at a rate of 66 +/- 8 fmol min(-1). A sudden reduction of the basolateral osmolality from 260 to 140 mosmol (kg H(2)O)(-1) elevated R(ATP) rapidly to a peak value of 1.89 +/- 0.11 pmol min(-1) (R(ATP)(peak)) followed by a plateau phase reaching 0.51 +/- 0.07 pmol min(-1) (R(ATP)(plat)). Both R(ATP)(peak) and R(ATP)(plat) values increased with the degree of dilution. The magnitude of R(ATP)(plat) remained constant as long as the hyposmolality was maintained. Similarly, a steady ATP release of 0.78 +/- 0.08 pmol min(-1) was recorded after gradual dilution of the basolateral osmolality to 140 mosmol (kg H(2)O)(-1). This R(ATP) value, induced in the absence of cell swelling, is comparable to R(ATP)(plat). Therefore, the steady ATP release is unrelated to membrane stretching, but possibly caused by the reduction of intracellular ionic strength during cell volume regulation. Independent determinations of dose-response curves for peak [Ca(2+)](i) increase in response to exogenous ATP and basolateral hyposmolality demonstrated that the exogenous ATP concentration, required to mimic the osmotic reduction, was linearly correlated with R(ATP)(peak). The link between the ATP release and the fast [Ca(2+)](i) transient was also demonstrated by the depression of both phenomena by Cl(-) removal from the basolateral perfusate. The data are consistent with the notion that during hypotonicity, basolateral ATP release activates purinergic receptors, which underlies the suramin-sensitive rise of [Ca(2+)](i) during the hyposmotic shock.

Abstract
Exposure of HTC rat hepatoma cells to a 33% decrease in extracellular osmolality caused the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) to increase transiently by approximately 90 nm. This rise in [Ca(2+)](i) was inhibited strongly by apyrase, grade VII (which has a low ATP/ADPase ratio) but not by apyrase grade VI (which has a high ATP/ADPase ratio) or hexokinase, indicating that extracellular ADP and/or ATP play a role in the [Ca(2+)](i) increase. The hypotonically induced rise in [Ca(2+)](i) was prevented by the prior discharge of the intracellular Ca(2+) store of the cells by thapsigargin. Removal of extracellular Ca(2+) or inhibition of Ca(2+) influx by 1-10 microm Gd(3+) depleted the thapsigargin-sensitive Ca(2+) stores and thereby diminished the rise in [Ca(2+)](i). The hypotonically induced rise in [Ca(2+)](i) was prevented by adenosine 2'-phosphate-5'-phosphate (A2P5P) and pyridoxyl-5'-phosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulfonate, inhibitors of purinergic P2Y(1) receptors for which ADP is a major agonist. Both inhibitors also blocked the rise in [Ca(2+)](i) elicited by addition of ADP to cells in isotonic medium, whereas A2P5P had no effect on the rise in [Ca(2+)](i) elicited by the addition of the P2Y(2) and P2Y(4) receptor agonist, UTP. HTC cells were shown to express mRNA encoding for rat P2Y(1), P2Y(2), and P2Y(6) receptors. Inhibition of the hypotonically induced rise in [Ca(2+)](i) blocked hypotonically induced K(+) ((86)Rb(+)) efflux, modulated the hypotonically induced efflux of taurine, but had no significant effect on Cl(-) ((125)I-) efflux. The interaction of extracellular ATP and/or ADP with P2Y(1) purinergic receptors therefore plays a role in the response of HTC cells to osmotic swelling but does not account for activation of all the efflux pathways involved in the volume-regulatory response.

Abstract
A growing body of evidence suggests that muscle cell caveolae may function as specialized membrane micro-domains in which the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex and cellular signaling molecules reside. Caveolin-3 (Cav-3) is the only caveolin family member expressed in striated muscle cell types (cardiac and skeletal). Interestingly, skeletal muscle fibers from Cav-3 (-/-) knock-out mice show a number of myopathic changes, consistent with a mild-to-moderate muscular dystrophy phenotype. However, it remains unknown whether a loss of Cav-3 affects the phenotypic behavior cardiac myocytes in vivo. Here, we present a detailed characterization of the hearts of Cav-3 knock-out mice. We show that these mice develop a progressive cardiomyopathic phenotype. At four months of age, Cav-3 knock-out hearts display significant hypertrophy, dilation, and reduced fractional shortening, as revealed by gated cardiac MRI and transthoracic echocardiography. Histological analysis reveals marked cardiac myocyte hypertrophy, with accompanying cellular infiltrates and progressive interstitial/peri-vascular fibrosis. Interestingly, loss of Cav-3 expression in the heart does not change the expression or the membrane association of the dystrophin-glycoprotein (DG) complex. However, a marker of the DG complex, alpha-sarcoglycan, was specifically excluded from lipid raft domains in the absence of Cav-3. Because activation of the Ras-p42/44 MAPK pathway in cardiac myocytes can drive cardiac hypertrophy, we next assessed the activation state of this pathway using a phospho-specific antibody probe. We show that p42/44 MAPK (ERK1/2) is hyperactivated in hearts derived from Cav-3 knock-out mice. These results are consistent with previous in vitro data demonstrating that caveolins may function as negative regulators of the p42/44 MAPK cascade. Taken together, our data argue that loss of Cav-3 expression is sufficient to induce a molecular program leading to cardiac myocyte hypertrophy and cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Mouse mammary C127 cells responded to hypotonic stimulation with activation of the volume-dependent ATP-conductive large conductance (VDACL) anion channel and massive release of ATP. Arachidonic acid downregulated both VDACL currents and swelling-induced ATP release in the physiological concentration range with K(d) of 4- 6 microM. The former effect observed in the whole-cell or excised patch mode was more prominent than the latter effect observed in intact cells. The arachidonate effects were direct and not mediated by downstream metabolic products, as evidenced by their insensitivity to inhibitors of arachidonate-metabolizing oxygenases, and by the observation that they were mimicked by cis-unsaturated fatty acids, which are not substrates for oxygenases. A membrane-impermeable analogue, arachidonyl coenzyme A was effective only from the cytosolic side of membrane patches suggesting that the binding site is localized intracellularly. Non-charged arachidonate analogues as well as trans-unsaturated and saturated fatty acids had no effect on VDACL currents and ATP release, indicating the importance of arachidonate's negative charge and specific hydrocarbon chain conformation in the inhibitory effect. VDACL anion channels were inhibited by arachidonic acid in two different ways: channel shutdown (K(d) of 4- 5 microM) and reduced unitary conductance (K(d) of 13-14 microM) without affecting voltage dependence of open probability. ATP(4-)-conducting inward currents measured in the presence of 100 mM ATP in the bath were reversibly inhibited by arachidonic acid. Thus, we conclude that swelling-induced ATP release and its putative pathway, the VDACL anion channel, are under a negative control by intracellular arachidonic acid signalling in mammary C127 cells.
