Abstract
Previously, we have shown that pancreatic acini release adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and ATP-handling enzymes, and pancreatic ducts express various purinergic P2 receptors. The aim of the present study was to establish whether pancreatic ducts also express adenosine receptors and whether these could be involved in secretory processes, which involve cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) Cl- channels or Ca2+-activated Cl- channels and H(+)/HCO(-)(3) transporters. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analysis on rat pancreatic ducts and human duct cell adenocarcinoma lines showed that they express A1, A2A, A2B, and A3 receptors. Real-time PCR revealed relatively low messenger RNA levels of adenosine receptors compared to beta-actin; the rank order for the receptors was A2A>A2B>or=A3>>A1 for rat pancreas and A2B>A2A>>A3>or=A1 for duct cell lines. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings on rat pancreatic ducts showed that, in about half of the recordings, adenosine depolarized the membrane voltage, and this was because of the opening of Cl- channels. Using a Cl--sensitive fluorophore and single-cell imaging on duct cell lines, it was found that 58% of PANC-1 cells responded to adenosine, whereas only 9% of CFPAC-1 cells responded. Adenosine elicited Ca2+ signals only in a few rat and human duct cells, which did not seem to correlate with Cl- signals. A2A receptors were localized in the luminal membranes of rat pancreatic ducts, plasma membrane of many PANC-1 cells, but only a few CFPAC-1 cells. Taken together, our data indicate that A2A receptors open Cl- channels in pancreatic ducts cells with functional CFTR. We propose that adenosine can stimulate pancreatic secretion and, thereby, is an active player in the acini-to-duct signaling.

Abstract
Many cell types release ATP in response to mechanical or biochemical stimulation. The mechanisms responsible for this release, however, are not well understood and may differ among different cell types. In addition, there are numerous difficulties associated with studying the dynamics of ATP release immediately outside the cell membrane. Here, we report a new method that allows the visualization and quantification of ATP release by fluorescence microscopy. Our method utilizes a two-enzyme system that generates NADPH when ATP is present. NADPH is a fluorescent molecule that can be visualized by fluorescence microscopy using an excitation wavelength of 340 nm and an emission wavelength of 450 nm. The method is capable of detecting ATP concentrations <1 microM and has a dynamic range of up to 100 microM. Using this method, we visualized and quantified ATP release from human polymorphonuclear leukocytes and Jurkat T cells. We show that upon cell stimulation, the concentrations of ATP can reach levels of up to 80 microM immediately outside of the cell membrane. This new method should prove useful for the study of the mechanisms of release and functional role of ATP in various cell systems, including individual cells.

Abstract
The efficiency of the mucociliary clearance (MCC) process that removes noxious materials from airway surfaces depends on the balance between mucin secretion, airway surface liquid (ASL) volume, and ciliary beating. Effective mucin dispersion into ASL requires salt and water secretion onto the mucosal surface, but how mucin secretion rate is coordinated with ion and, ultimately, water transport rates is poorly understood. Several components of MCC, including electrolyte and water transport, are regulated by nucleotides in the ASL interacting with purinergic receptors. Using polarized monolayers of airway epithelial Calu-3 cells, we investigated whether mucin secretion was accompanied by nucleotide release. Electron microscopic analyses of Calu-3 cells identified subapical granules that resembled goblet cell mucin granules. Real-time confocal microscopic analyses revealed that subapical granules, labelled with FM 1-43 or quinacrine, were competent for Ca(2+)-regulated exocytosis. Granules containing MUC5AC were apically secreted via Ca(2+)-regulated exocytosis as demonstrated by combined immunolocalization and slot blot analyses. In addition, Calu-3 cells exhibited Ca(2+)-regulated apical release of ATP and UDP-glucose, a substrate of glycosylation reactions within the secretory pathway. Neither mucin secretion nor ATP release from Calu-3 cells were affected by activation or inhibition of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. In SPOC1 cells, an airway goblet cell model, purinergic P2Y(2) receptor-stimulated increase of cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration resulted in secretion of both mucins and nucleotides. Our data suggest that nucleotide release is a mechanism by which mucin-secreting goblet cells produce paracrine signals for mucin hydration within the ASL.

Abstract
Release of ATP from astrocytes is required for Ca2+ wave propagation among astrocytes and for feedback modulation of synaptic functions. However, the mechanism of ATP release and the source of ATP in astrocytes are still not known. Here we show that incubation of astrocytes with FM dyes leads to selective labelling of lysosomes. Time-lapse confocal imaging of FM dye-labelled fluorescent puncta, together with extracellular quenching and total-internal-reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM), demonstrated directly that extracellular ATP or glutamate induced partial exocytosis of lysosomes, whereas an ischaemic insult with potassium cyanide induced both partial and full exocytosis of these organelles. We found that lysosomes contain abundant ATP, which could be released in a stimulus-dependent manner. Selective lysis of lysosomes abolished both ATP release and Ca2+ wave propagation among astrocytes, implicating physiological and pathological functions of regulated lysosome exocytosis in these cells.

Abstract
The effect of extracellular ATP on salivary gland function was compared in wild-type (WT) and P2X(7) knockout (KO) mice. The increase in the intracellular concentration of calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) in response to carbachol was similar in submandibular ductal cells of WT and KO mice. ATP and its analog, benzoyl-ATP, induced a sustained increase in the [Ca(2+)](i) in WT animals. In KO mice, ATP slightly and transiently increased the [Ca(2+)](i) and benzoyl-ATP had no effect. The response to ATP of WT but not KO mice was blocked by KN-62, Coomassie blue and magnesium. The small response of ATP observed in KO mice was completely blocked in the absence of extracellular calcium, unchanged by U73122 and potentiated by ivermectin indicating the probable involvement of a P2X(4) receptor. A RT-PCR and a Western blot confirmed the presence of these receptors in ducts of both WT and KO mice. ATP increased the permeability of the cells to ethidium bromide and stimulated a phospholipase A(2) activity in WT but not KO mice. Mice submandibular gland cells secreted IL-1beta but this secretion was not modified by ATP and was similar in both groups of animals. The volume of saliva provoked by pilocarpine and the concentration of proteins, sodium and chloride in this saliva was similar in both groups of animals. The concentration of potassium was higher in KO mice. We can conclude that the major purinergic receptors expressed in mice submandibular ductal cells are P2X(7) receptors but that P2X(4) receptors are also involved in some ATP effects.

Abstract
The heterogeneity of salivary ductal cells, with regard to their sensitivity to Ca(2+)-mobilizing agonists, was visualized by multi-photon microscopy. Stimulation of isolated parotid ducts with 0.1 and 1 microM epinephrine (Epi) elevated the intracellular Ca(2+) levels ([Ca(2+)](i)) in approximately 30% and >90% of the ductal cells, respectively. Of the 0.1 microM Epi-responsive cells, 80% responded rapidly to subsequent stimulation with 1 microM Epi. Similarly, threshold concentrations (0.5 or 1 microM) of phenylephrine (PhL), carbachol (CCh) or ATP, induced responses in approximately 20% of the ductal cells, and subsequent stimulations with 10 microM of the same agonist activated approximately 80% of ductal cells. These observations indicate that parotid ducts contain a certain subpopulation of cells, which exhibits particularly high sensitivity to these Ca(2+)-mobilizing agonists, compared to the remaining ductal cells. Sequential stimulation with threshold concentrations of PhL, CCh, and ATP induced Ca(2+) responses in approximately 33% of ductal cells. Of these responsive cells, the majority (69%) could only respond to one of the three agonists; while a small minority (9%) were capable of responding to all three agonists. These results indicate that low concentrations of PhL, CCh, and ATP activate different subpopulations of parotid ductal cells.

Abstract
This review is focused on purinergic neurotransmission, i.e., ATP released from nerves as a transmitter or cotransmitter to act as an extracellular signaling molecule on both pre- and postjunctional membranes at neuroeffector junctions and synapses, as well as acting as a trophic factor during development and regeneration. Emphasis is placed on the physiology and pathophysiology of ATP, but extracellular roles of its breakdown product, adenosine, are also considered because of their intimate interactions. The early history of the involvement of ATP in autonomic and skeletal neuromuscular transmission and in activities in the central nervous system and ganglia is reviewed. Brief background information is given about the identification of receptor subtypes for purines and pyrimidines and about ATP storage, release, and ectoenzymatic breakdown. Evidence that ATP is a cotransmitter in most, if not all, peripheral and central neurons is presented, as well as full accounts of neurotransmission and neuromodulation in autonomic and sensory ganglia and in the brain and spinal cord. There is coverage of neuron-glia interactions and of purinergic neuroeffector transmission to nonmuscular cells. To establish the primitive and widespread nature of purinergic neurotransmission, both the ontogeny and phylogeny of purinergic signaling are considered. Finally, the pathophysiology of purinergic neurotransmission in both peripheral and central nervous systems is reviewed, and speculations are made about future developments.

Abstract
The condition of anhidrosis is described in this review, and the latest theories on the causal factors are explored. The evidence supports the hypothesis that anhidrosis is an inappropriate response to prolonged climatic stress (generally combined heat and high humidity), which can be evoked in a small (approximately 10 +/- 5%) proportion of the equine population. It is caused by gradual failure of the glandular secretory cell processes, initiated by desensitization and subsequent down-regulation of the cell receptors as a result of continued adrenaline-driven hyperactivity. It progresses through secretory failure and culminates in gradual, probably irreversible, glandular dedifferentiation and ultimate degeneration. There is a need for considerably more research on the secretory and transcriptional processes to document the changes arising within the glandular secretory mechanism as a prelude to development of a corrective treatment.

Abstract
Human pancreatic ducts secrete a bicarbonate-rich fluid but our knowledge of the secretory process is based mainly on studies of animal models. Our aim was to determine whether the HCO(3)(-) transport mechanisms in a human ductal cell line are similar to those previously identified in guinea-pig pancreatic ducts. Intracellular pH was measured by microfluorometry in Capan-1 cell monolayers grown on permeable filters and loaded with BCECF. Epithelial polarization was assessed by immunolocalization of occludin. Expression of mRNA for key electrolyte transporters and receptors was evaluated by RT-PCR. Capan-1 cells grown on permeable supports formed confluent, polarized monolayers with well developed tight junctions. The recovery of pH(i) from an acid load, induced by a short NH(4)(+) pulse, was mediated by Na(+)-dependent transporters located exclusively at the basolateral membrane. One was independent of HCO(3)(-) and blocked by EIPA (probably NHE1) while the other was HCO(3)(-)-dependent and blocked by H(2)DIDS (probably pNBC1). Changes in pH(i) following blockade of basolateral HCO(3)(-) accumulation confirmed that the cells achieve vectorial HCO(3)(-) secretion. Dose-dependent increases in HCO(3)(-) secretion were observed in response to stimulation of both secretin and VPAC receptors. ATP and UTP applied to the apical membrane stimulated HCO(3)(-) secretion but were inhibitory when applied to the basolateral membrane. HCO(3)(-) secretion in guinea-pig ducts and Capan-1 cell monolayers share many common features, suggesting that the latter is an excellent model for studies of human pancreatic HCO(3)(-) secretion.

Abstract
Sweating has a variety of functions in mammals including pheromone action, excretion of waste products and maintenance of the skin surface ecosystem. In a small number of mammalian species, which includes humans and the Equidae, it also has an important role in thermoregulation. This review is focused specifically on the thermoregulatory role of sweat in Equidae and the causes of sweating failure (anhidrosis). The first part describes the glandular appearance, sweat composition, and output rates; and considers the latest theories on the glandular control and secretory mechanisms. It is concluded that the glands are not directly innervated but are controlled by the interplay of neural, humoral and paracrine factors. The secretory mechanism is not as simple as previously thought and is mediated by the dynamic interaction of activating pathways, including autocrine control not only of the secretory process but probably also of secretory cell reproduction, growth, and death.

Abstract
There have been many advances in our knowledge about different aspects of P2Y receptor signaling since the last review published by our International Union of Pharmacology subcommittee. More receptor subtypes have been cloned and characterized and most orphan receptors de-orphanized, so that it is now possible to provide a basis for a future subdivision of P2Y receptor subtypes. More is known about the functional elements of the P2Y receptor molecules and the signaling pathways involved, including interactions with ion channels. There have been substantial developments in the design of selective agonists and antagonists to some of the P2Y receptor subtypes. There are new findings about the mechanisms underlying nucleotide release and ectoenzymatic nucleotide breakdown. Interactions between P2Y receptors and receptors to other signaling molecules have been explored as well as P2Y-mediated control of gene transcription. The distribution and roles of P2Y receptor subtypes in many different cell types are better understood and P2Y receptor-related compounds are being explored for therapeutic purposes. These and other advances are discussed in the present review.

Abstract
Pancreatic acini release ATP in response to various stimuli, including cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8), as we show in the present study. There were indications that pancreatic juice also contains enzymes that could hydrolyze ATP during its passage through the ductal system. The aim of this study was to determine which ATP-degrading and possibly ATP-generating enzymes were present in pancreatic secretion. For this purpose, pancreatic juice was collected from anesthetized rats stimulated with infusion of CCK-8. Purine-converting activities in juice samples were assayed by TLC using either [gamma-(32)P]ATP or (14)C/(3)H-labeled and unlabeled nucleotides as appropriate substrates. Data show that the juice contains the enzyme ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase that can hydrolyze both [(14)C]ATP and [(3)H]ADP about equally well, i.e. CD39. Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography analysis additionally shows that this enzyme has broad substrate specificity toward other nucleotides, UTP, UDP, ITP, and IDP. In addition, secretion contains ecto-5'-nucleotidase, CD73, further converting [(3)H]AMP to adenosine. Along with highly active hydrolytic enzymes, there were also ATP-generating enzymes in pancreatic juice, adenylate kinase, and NDP kinase, capable of sequentially phosphorylating AMP via ADP to ATP. Activities of nonspecific phosphatases, nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterases, and adenosine deaminase were negligible. Taken together, CCK-8 stimulation of pancreas causes release of both ATP-consuming and ATP-generating enzymes into pancreatic juice. This newly discovered richness of secreted enzymes underscores the importance of purine signaling between acini and pancreatic ducts lumen and implies regulation of the purine-converting enzymes release.

Abstract
Intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) is a key factor controlling secretion from various cell types. We investigated how different patterns of [Ca(2+)](i) signals evoke salt secretion via ion transport mechanisms and mucin secretion via exocytosis in dog pancreatic duct epithelial cells (PDEC). Activation of epithelial P2Y(2) receptors by UTP generated two patterns of [Ca(2+)](i) change: 2-10 microm UTP induced [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations, whereas 100 microm UTP induced a sustained [Ca(2+)](i) increase, both in the micromolar range. As monitored by carbon-fibre amperometry, the sustained [Ca(2+)](i) increase stimulated a larger increase in exocytosis than [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations, despite their similar amplitude. In contrast, patch-clamp recordings revealed that [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations synchronously activated a K(+) current as efficiently as the sustained [Ca(2+)](i) increase. This K(+) current was mediated by intermediate-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels (32 pS at -100 mV) which were sensitive to charybdotoxin and resistant to TEA. Activation of these Ca(2+)-dependent K(+) channels hyperpolarized the plasma membrane from a resting potential of -40 mV to -90 mV, as monitored in perforated whole-cell configuration, in turn enhancing Na(+)-independent, Cl(-)-dependent and DIDS-sensitive HCO(3)(-) secretion, as monitored through changes in intracellular pH. PDEC therefore encode concentrations of purinergic agonists as different patterns of [Ca(2+)](i) changes, which differentially stimulate K(+) channels, the Cl(-)-HCO(3)(-) exchanger, and exocytosis. Thus, in addition to amplitude, the temporal pattern of [Ca(2+)](i) increases is an important mechanism for transducing extracellular stimuli into different physiological effects.

Abstract
Extracellular ATP and its metabolite adenosine regulate mucociliary clearance in airway epithelia. Little has been known, however, regarding the actual ATP and adenosine concentrations in the thin ( approximately 7 microm) liquid layer lining native airway surfaces and the link between ATP release/metabolism and autocrine/paracrine regulation of epithelial function. In this study, chimeric Staphylococcus aureus protein A-luciferase (SPA-luc) was bound to endogenous antigens on primary human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cell surface and ATP concentrations assessed in real-time in the thin airway surface liquid (ASL). ATP concentrations on resting cells were 1-10 nm. Inhibition of ecto-nucleotidases resulted in ATP accumulation at a rate of approximately 250 fmol/min/cm2, reflecting the basal ATP release rate. Following hypotonic challenge to promote cell swelling, cell-surface ATP concentration measured by SPA-luc transiently reached approximately 1 microm independent of ASL volume, reflecting a transient 3-log increase in ATP release rates. In contrast, peak ATP concentrations measured in bulk ASL by soluble luciferase inversely correlated with volume. ATP release rates were intracellular calcium-independent, suggesting that non-exocytotic ATP release from ciliated cells, which dominate our cultures, mediated hypotonicity-induced nucleotide release. However, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) did not participate in this function. Following the acute swelling phase, HBE cells exhibited regulatory volume decrease which was impaired by apyrase and facilitated by ATP or UTP. Our data provide the first evidence that ATP concentrations at the airway epithelial surface reach the range for P2Y2 receptor activation by physiological stimuli and identify a role for mucosal ATP release in airway epithelial cell volume regulation.

Abstract
Current models of extracellular ATP turnover include transient release of nanomolar ATP concentrations, triggering of signaling events, and subsequent ectoenzymatic inactivation. Given the high substrate specificity for adenylate kinase for reversible reaction (ATP + AMP <--> 2ADP), we exploited lymphoid ecto-adenylate kinase as an intrinsic probe for accurate sensing pericellular ATP. Incubation of leukemic T- and B-lymphocytes with [3H]AMP or [alpha-32P]AMP induces partial nucleotide conversion into high-energy phosphoryls. This "intrinsic" AMP phosphorylation occurs in time- and concentration-dependent fashions via nonlytic supply of endogenous gamma-phosphate-donating ATP, remains relatively resistant to bulk extracellular ATP scavenging by apyrase, and is diminished after lymphocyte pretreatment with membrane-modifying agents. This enzyme-coupled approach, together with confocal imaging of quinacrine-labeled ATP stores, suggests that, along with predominant ATP accumulation within cytoplasmic granules, micromolar ATP concentrations are constitutively retained on lymphoid surface without convection into bulk milieu. High basal levels of inositol phosphates in the cells transfected with ATP-selective human P2Y2-receptor further demonstrate that lymphocyte-surrounding ATP is sufficient for triggering purinergic responses both in autocrine and paracrine fashions. The ability of nonstimulated lymphocytes to maintain micromolar ATP halo might represent a novel route initiating signaling cascades within immunological synapses and facilitating leukocyte trafficking between the blood and tissues.

Abstract
Regulatory volume decrease (RVD) is a protective mechanism that allows mammalian cells to restore their volume when exposed to a hypotonic environment. A key component of RVD is the release of K(+), Cl(-), and organic osmolytes, such as taurine, which then drives osmotic water efflux. Previous experiments have indicated that caveolin-1, a coat protein of caveolae microdomains in the plasma membrane, promotes the swelling-induced Cl(-) current (I(Cl,swell)) through volume-regulated anion channels. However, it is not known whether the stimulation by caveolin-1 is restricted to the release of Cl(-) or whether it also affects the swelling-induced release of other components, such as organic osmolytes. To address this problem, we have studied I(Cl,swell) and the hypotonicity-induced release of taurine and ATP in wild-type Caco-2 cells that are caveolin-1 deficient and in stably transfected Caco-2 cells that express caveolin-1. Electrophysiological characterization of wild-type and stably transfected Caco-2 showed that caveolin-1 promoted I(Cl,swell), but not cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator currents. Furthermore, caveolin-1 expression stimulated the hypotonicity-induced release of taurine and ATP in stably transfected Caco-2 cells grown as a monolayer. Interestingly, the effect of caveolin-1 was polarized because only the release at the basolateral membrane, but not at the apical membrane, was increased. It is therefore concluded that caveolin-1 facilitates the hypotonicity-induced release of Cl(-), taurine, and ATP, and that in polarized epithelial cells, the effect of caveolin-1 is compartmentalized to the basolateral membrane.

Abstract
The umbrella cells that line the bladder are mechanosensitive, and bladder filling increases the apical surface area of these cells; however, the upstream signals that regulate this process are unknown. Increased pressure stimulated ATP release from the isolated uroepithelium of rabbit bladders, which was blocked by inhibitors of vesicular transport, connexin hemichannels, ABC protein family members, and nucleoside transporters. Pressure-induced increases in membrane capacitance (a measure of apical plasma membrane surface area where 1 microF approximately equals 1 cm2) were inhibited by the serosal, but not mucosal, addition of apyrase or the purinergic receptor antagonist PPADS. Upon addition of purinergic receptor agonists, increased capacitance was observed even in the absence of pressure. Moreover, knockout mice lacking expression of P2X2 and/or P2X3 receptors failed to show increases in apical surface area when exposed to hydrostatic pressure. Treatments that prevented release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores or activation of PKA blocked ATPgammaS-stimulated changes in capacitance. These results indicate that increased hydrostatic pressure stimulates release of ATP from the uroepithelium and that upon binding to P2X and possibly P2Y receptors on the umbrella cell, downstream Ca2+ and PKA second messenger cascades may act to stimulate membrane insertion at the apical pole of these cells.

Abstract
Extracellular nucleotides such as ATP and UTP are released in response to mechanical stimulation in different cell systems. It is becoming increasingly evident that ATP release plays a role in autocrine and paracrine stimulation of osteoblasts. Mechanical stimulation, as shear stress, membrane stretch or hypo-osmotic swelling, as well as oscillatory fluid flow, stimulates ATP release from different osteoblastic cell lines. Human osteoblast-like initial transfectant (HOBIT) cells release ATP in response to mechanical stimulation. In the present study, we show that HOBIT cells are activated by nanomolar levels of extracellular ATP, concentrations that can be detected under resting conditions and increase following hypotonic shock. Cell activation by hypotonic medium induced intracellular Ca2+ oscillations, and Egr-1 synthesis and DNA-binding activity. Quinacrine staining of living, resting cells revealed a granular fluorescence, typical of ATP-storing vesicles. Monensin prevented quinacrine staining and considerably inhibited hypotonic-induced ATP release. Finally, elevated levels of cytosolic Ca2+ activated massive ATP release and a dose-dependent loss of quinacrine granules. The contribution of a vesicular mechanism for ATP release is proposed to sustain paracrine osteoblast activation.

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
Renin release from juxtaglomerular granular cells is considered the rate-limiting step in activation of the renin-angiotensin system that helps to maintain body salt and water balance. Available assays to measure renin release are complex, indirect, and work with significant internal errors. To directly visualize and study the dynamics of both the release and tissue activity of renin, we isolated and perfused afferent arterioles with attached glomeruli dissected from rabbit kidneys and used multiphoton fluorescence imaging. Acidotropic fluorophores, such as quinacrine and LysoTrackers, clearly and selectively labeled renin granules. Immunohistochemistry of mouse kidney with a specific renin antibody and quinacrine staining colocalized renin granules and quinacrine fluorescence. A low-salt diet for 1 wk caused an approximately fivefold increase in the number of both individual granules and renin-positive granular cells. Time-lapse imaging showed no signs of granule trafficking or any movement, only the dimming and disappearance of fluorescence from individual renin granules within 1 s in response to 100 μM isoproterenol. There appeared to be a quantal release of the granular contents; i.e., an all-or-none phenomenon. Using As4.1 cells, a granular cell line, we observed further classic signs of granule exocytosis, the emptying of granule content associated with a flash of quinacrine fluorescence. Using a fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based, 5-(2-aminoethylamino)naphthalene-1-sulfonic acid (EDANS)-conjugated renin substrate in the bath, an increase in EDANS fluorescence (renin activity) was observed around granular cells in response to isoproterenol. Fluorescence microscopy is an excellent tool for the further study of the mechanism, regulation, and dynamics of renin release.

Abstract
In salivary acinar cells, intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) signaling plays an important role in eliciting fluid secretion through the activation of Ca(2+)-activated ionic conductances. Ca(2+) and cAMP have synergistic effects on fluid secretion such that peak secretion is elicited following activation of both parasympathetic and sympathetic pathways. We have recently demonstrated that cAMP exerts effects on Ca(2+) release, through protein kinase A (PKA)-mediated phosphorylation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (InsP(3)R) in mouse parotid acinar cells. To extend these findings, in the present study cross-talk between Ca(2+) signaling and cAMP pathways in human parotid acinar cells was investigated. In human parotid acinar cells, carbachol stimulation evoked increases in the [Ca(2+)](i) and the initial peak amplitude was enhanced following PKA activation, consistent with reports from mouse parotid. Stimulation with ATP also evoked an increase in [Ca(2+)](i). The ATP-evoked Ca(2+) elevation was largely dependent on extracellular Ca(2+), suggesting the involvement of the P2X family of purinergic receptors. Pharmacological elevation of cAMP resulted in a approximately 5-fold increase in the peak [Ca(2+)](i) change evoked by ATP stimulation. This enhanced [Ca(2+)](i) increase was not dependent on intracellular release from InsP(3)R or ryanodine receptors, suggesting a direct effect on P2XR. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis confirmed the presence of P2X(4)R and P2X(7)R mRNA and protein in human parotid acinar cells. ATP-activated cation currents were studied using whole cell patch clamp techniques in HEK-293 cells, a null background for P2XR. Raising cAMP resulted in a approximately 4.5-fold enhancement of ATP-activated current in HEK-293 cells transfected with P2X(4)R DNA but had no effects on currents in cells expressing P2X(7)R. These data indicate that in human parotid acinar cells, in addition to modulation of Ca(2+) release, Ca(2+) influx through P2X(4)R may constitute a further locus for the synergistic effects of Ca(2+) and PKA activation.

Abstract
ATP is an extracellular regulator in numerous physiological and pathologic processes. Recently, 7 different subtypes of purinoceptors were identified on either the basolateral or the luminal membrane of pancreatic duct cells. However, the in vivo regulatory role of ATP in pancreatic function has not been established. We investigated the possible regulatory role of endogenous ATP in pancreatic function by measuring ATP concentrations and ATPase activity in pancreatic juice obtained from anesthetized rats and guinea pigs and from human patients undergoing endoscopy. Juice was collected from the main pancreatic duct in rats and guinea pigs under basal conditions or during stimulation with CCK, bombesin, or secretin. In guinea pigs, CCK, bombesin, and secretin did not affect ATP output, although they did stimulate fluid secretion. ATPase activity in the juice was evaluated by measuring the rate of hydrolysis of added ATP. Consistent with the low ATP concentrations in rat pancreatic juice, we found high levels of ATPase activity in this species. This was confirmed by HPLC, which also showed the metabolites of ATP hydrolysis. Ecto-ATPase activity was demonstrated by enzyme histochemistry in both the pancreatic acini and ducts in rats, but it was not detectable in guinea pigs and humans. These differences in ATP levels and ATPase expression may indicate significant species differences in the purinergic regulation of pancreatic secretion.

Abstract
The facial innervation pattern of trigeminal nerve fibres comprises the innervation of the nasal epithelium, where free trigeminal nerve endings contribute to detection and discrimination of chemical stimuli including odourants. The signal transduction mechanisms in sensory nerve endings underlying perception of chemical stimuli remain widely uncovered. Here, we characterized trigeminal ATP-activated P2X receptors in cultured rat trigeminal neurons and investigated their role in chemoperception. We identified a new subpopulation of neurons lacking typical nociceptive characteristics and expressing homomeric P2X(2) receptors. Using a certain group of chemicals known as trigeminal stimuli we found no direct activation of trigeminal neurons, but a modulation of P2X(2) receptor mediated currents. In contrast, P2X(3) receptor mediated currents of nociceptive trigeminal neurons remained unaffected by the tested chemicals. Therefore, we assume a functional role for the newly identified subpopulation in chemodetection of certain trigeminal stimuli.

Abstract
Extracellular ATP is a potent autocrine/paracrine signal that regulates a broad range of liver functions through activation of purinergic receptors. In biliary epithelium, increases in cell volume stimulate ATP release through a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-kinase)-dependent mechanism. Because PI3-kinase also regulates vesicular exocytosis, the purpose of these studies was to determine whether volume-stimulated vesicular exocytosis contributes to cellular ATP release. In a human cholangiocarcinoma cell line, exocytosis was measured by using the plasma membrane marker FM1-43, whereas ATP release was assessed by using a luciferase-luciferin assay. Under basal conditions, cholangiocytes exhibited constitutive exocytosis at a rate of 1.6%/min, and low levels of extracellular ATP were detected at 48.2 arbitrary light units. Increases in cholangiocyte cell volume induced by hypotonic exposure resulted in a 10-fold increase in the rate of exocytosis and a robust 35-fold increase in ATP release. Both vesicular exocytosis and ATP release were proportional to cell volume, and both exhibited similar regulatory properties including: 1) dependence on intact PI3-kinase, 2) attenuation by inhibition of PKC, and 3) potentiation by activation of PKC before hypotonic exposure. These findings demonstrate that increases in cholangiocyte cell volume stimulate ATP release and vesicular exocytosis through similar regulatory paradigms. Functional interactions among cell volume, PKC, and PI3-kinase modulate exocytosis, thereby regulating ATP release and purinergic signaling in cholangiocytes. It is hypothesized that PKC is involved in the recruitment of a volume-sensitive vesicular pool to a readily releasable state.

Abstract
How different extracellular stimuli can evoke different spatiotemporal Ca2+ signals is uncertain. We have elucidated a novel paradigm whereby different agonists use different Ca2+-storing organelles ("organelle selection") to evoke unique responses. Some agonists select the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and others select lysosome-related (acidic) organelles, evoking spatial Ca2+ responses that mirror the organellar distribution. In pancreatic acinar cells, acetylcholine and bombesin exclusively select the ER Ca2+ store, whereas cholecystokinin additionally recruits a lysosome-related organelle. Similarly, in a pancreatic beta cell line MIN6, acetylcholine selects only the ER, whereas glucose mobilizes Ca2+ from a lysosome-related organelle. We also show that the key to organelle selection is the agonist-specific coupling messenger(s) such that the ER is selected by recruitment of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (or cADP-ribose), whereas lysosome-related organelles are selected by NAADP.

Abstract
P2X7 receptors (P2X7Rs) affect many epithelial cell functions including transcellular ion transport, secretion, and cell death. Here we used parotid acinar and duct cells to reveal the unique cell-specific assembly and gating of the P2X7R channels. Immunolocalization indicated expression of P2X7Rs in the luminal membrane of both cell types. Stimulation with 5 mm ATP raised [Ca2+]i levels in a cell-specific manner and activated multiple currents. The current mediated by P2X7R was isolated by infusing the cells with high [EGTA]. The initial activation of acinar cell P2X7Rs by ATP was slow requiring approximately 2.5 min. Subsequent removal and addition of ATP, however, resulted in rapid inhibition and activation (gating) of the P2X7Rs. By contrast, P2X7Rs in duct cells displayed only rapid gating by ATP. Activation of P2X7Rs in both cell types was verified by (a) low Km for ATP, (b) sensitivity to external divalent ions, (c) lack of desensitization/inactivation, (d) permeability to Na+, and (e) inhibition by Brilliant Blue G, Cu2+, and pyridoxal phosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulfonic acid tetrasodium. The slow P2X7R activation in acinar cells was not affected by manipulation of exo-/endocytosis. Rather, disassembly or solidification of the actin cytoskeleton prior to incubation with ATP prevented channel assembly. Remarkably, after completion of the slow activation, manipulation of the actin cytoskeleton no longer affected gating by ATP. Accordingly, manipulation of the actin cytoskeleton had no effect on P2X7R gating by ATP in duct cells. We concluded that P2X7Rs are not active in resting acinar cells. On exposure to ATP, P2X7Rs are assembled into functional channels with the aid of the actin cytoskeleton. Once assembled, P2X7Rs are subject to rapid gating by ATP. Duct cell P2X7Rs are preassembled and therefore continually subject to rapid gating by ATP. This cell-specific behavior may reflect the specific function of P2X7Rs in the two cell types.

Abstract
In epithelial cells, several intracellular signals regulate the secretion of large molecules such as mucin via exocytosis and the transport of ions through channels and transporters. Using carbon fiber amperometry, we previously reported that exocytosis of secretory granules in dog pancreatic duct epithelial cells (PDEC) can be stimulated by pharmacological activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) or protein kinase C (PKC), as well as by an increase of intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). In this study, we examined whether exocytosis in these cells is modulated by activation of endogenous P2Y receptors, which increase cAMP and [Ca2+]i. Low concentrations of ATP (<10 microM) induced intracellular Ca2+ oscillation but no significant exocytosis. In contrast, 100 microM ATP induced a sustained [Ca2+]i rise and increased the exocytosis rate sevenfold. The contribution of Ca2+ or cAMP pathways to exocytosis was tested by using the Ca2+ chelator BAPTA or the PKA inhibitors H-89 or Rp-8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphorothioate. Removal of [Ca2+]i rise or inhibition of PKA each partially reduced exocytosis; when combined, they abolished exocytosis. In conclusion, ATP at concentrations >10 microM stimulates exocytosis from PDEC through both Ca2+ and cAMP pathways.

Abstract
In exocrine pancreas, acini release ATP and the excurrent ducts express several types of purinergic P2 receptors. Thereby, ATP, or its hydrolytic products, might play a role as a paracrine regulator between acini and ducts. The aim of the present study was to elucidate whether this acinar-ductal signalling is regulated by nucleotidase(s), and to characterize and localize one of the nucleotidases within the rat pancreas. Using RT-PCR and Western blotting we show that pancreas expresses the full length ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase, CD39. Immunofluorescence shows CD39 localization on basolateral membranes of acini and intracellularly. In small intercalated/ interlobular ducts, CD39 immunofluorescence was localized on the luminal membranes, while in larger ducts it was localized on the basolateral membranes. Upon stimulation with cholecystokinin-octapeptide-8 (CCK-8), acinar CD39 relocalizes in clusters towards the lumen and is secreted. As a result, pancreatic juice collected from intact pancreas stimulated with CCK-8 contained nucleotidase activity, including that of CD39, and no detectable amounts of ATP. Anti-CD39 antibodies detected the full length (78 kDa) CD39 in pancreatic juice. This CD39 was confined only to the particulate and not to the soluble fraction of CCK-8-stimulated secretion. No CD39 activity was detected in secretion stimulated by secretin. The role of secreted particulate, possibly microsomal, CD39 would be to regulate intraluminal ATP concentrations within the ductal tree. In conclusion, we show a novel inducible release of full length particulate CD39, and propose its role in the physiological context of pancreatic secretion.

Abstract
The charge of this invited review is to present a convincing case for the fact that cells release their ATP for physiological reasons. Many of our "purinergic" colleagues as well as ourselves have experienced resistance to this concept, because it is teleologically counter-intuitive. This review serves to integrate the three main tenets of extracellular ATP signaling: ATP release from cells, ATP receptors on cells, and ATP receptor-driven signaling within cells to affect cell or tissue physiology. First principles will be discussed in the Introduction concerning extracellular ATP signaling. All possible cellular mechanisms of ATP release will then be presented. Use of nucleotide and nucleoside scavengers as well as broad-specificity purinergic receptor antagonists will be presented as a method of detecting endogenous ATP release affecting a biological endpoint. Innovative methods of detecting released ATP by adapting luciferase detection reagents or by using "biosensors" will be presented. Because our laboratory has been primarily interested in epithelial cell physiology and pathophysiology for several years, the role of extracellular ATP in regulation of epithelial cell function will be the focus of this review. For ATP release to be physiologically relevant, receptors for ATP are required at the cell surface. The families of P2Y G protein-coupled receptors and ATP-gated P2X receptor channels will be introduced. Particular attention will be paid to P2X receptor channels that mediate the fast actions of extracellular ATP signaling, much like neurotransmitter-gated channels versus metabotropic heptahelical neurotransmitter receptors that couple to G proteins. Finally, fascinating biological paradigms in which extracellular ATP signaling has been implicated will be highlighted. It is the goal of this review to convert and attract new scientists into the exploding field of extracellular nucleotide signaling and to convince the reader that extracellular ATP is indeed a signaling molecule.

Abstract
P2X7 nucleotide receptors modulate a spectrum of cellular events in various cells including epithelia, such as exocrine pancreas. Although the pharmacology and channel properties of the P2X7 receptors have been studied intensively, signal transduction pathways are relatively unknown. In this study we applied a heterologous expression system of rat P2X7 receptors in HEK-293 cells. We followed the receptor expression and function using the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) tag, activation of intracellular proteins and increases in cellular Ca2+. EGFP-P2X7 receptors localized to the plasma membrane, clusters within the membrane and intracellularly. Stimulation of P2X7 receptors in HEK-293 cells led to an activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases ERK1 and ERK2 and this activation was seen after just 1 min of stimulation with ATP. Using C- and N-terminal P2X7-receptor mutants we show that the N-terminus is important in activation of ERKs, whereas deletion of the last 230 amino acids in the C-terminus did not effect ERK activation. On the other hand, Ca2+ entry was impaired in C-terminal but not in N-terminal mutants. In cell suspensions prepared from rat pancreas we show that P2X7 receptors also activate ERK1 and ERK2, indicating that these signalling pathways are also turned on in native epithelium.

Abstract
Extracellular purines are important signaling molecules that mediate both inflammatory (ATP, ADP) and anti-inflammatory (adenosine) effects in the vasculature. The duration and magnitude of purinergic signaling is governed by a network of purine-converting ectoenzymes, and endothelial and lymphoid cells are generally characterized by counteracting ATP-inactivating and ATP-regenerating/adenosine-eliminating, phenotypes, respectively. By using cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells and normal or leukemic lymphocytes as an in vitro model of leukocyte-endothelial interactions, we have identified a link between the adhesion cascade and extracellular purine turnover. Upon adhesion, lymphocytes suppress endothelial purine metabolism via (i) inhibition of ecto-5'-nucleotidase/CD73-mediated AMP hydrolysis, (ii) rapid deamination of the remaining adenosine, and (iii) maintenance of the sustained pericellular ATP level through continuous nucleotide release and phosphotransfer reactions. Compensation of the loss of adenosine promotes vascular barrier function (measured as a paracellular flux of 70 kDa fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran) and decreases transendothelial leukocyte migration. Together, these data show that adherent lymphocytes attempt to prevent adenosine formation in the endothelial environment that, as a consequence, may impair the vascular barrier function and facilitate the subsequent step of leukocyte transmigration into the tissue. These leukocyte adhesion-mediated shifts in the local nucleotide and nucleoside concentrations represent a previously unrecognized paracrine mechanism affecting the functional state of the targeted vascular endothelium and coordinately regulating lymphocyte trafficking between the blood and tissues.

Abstract
P2 membrane receptors are specifically activated by extracellular nucleotides like ATP, ADP, UTP, and UDP. P2 receptors are subdivided into metabotropic P2Y and ionotropic P2X receptors. They are expressed in all tissues and induce a variety of biological effects. In epithelia, they are found in both the basolateral and the luminal membranes. Their widespread luminal expression in nearly all transporting epithelia and their effect on transport are summarized. The P2Y(2) receptor is a prominent luminal receptor in many epithelia. Other luminal P2 receptors include the P2X(7), P2Y(4), and P2Y(6) receptors. Functionally, luminal P2Y(2) receptor activation elicits differential effects on ion transport. In nearly all secretory epithelia, intracellular Ca(2+) concentration-activated ion conductances are stimulated by luminal nucleotides to induce Cl(-), K(+), or HCO(3)(-) secretion. This encompasses respiratory and various gastrointestinal epithelia or tissues like the conjunctiva of the eye and the epithelium of sweat glands. In the distal nephron, all active transport processes appear to be inhibited by luminal nucleotides. P2Y(2) receptors inhibit Ca(2+) and Na(+) absorption and K(+) secretion. Commonly, in all steroid-sensitive epithelia (lung, distal nephron, and distal colon), luminal ATP/UTP inhibits epithelial Na(+) channel-meditated Na(+) absorption. ATP is readily released from epithelial cells onto their luminal aspect, where ecto-nucleotidases promote their metabolism. Adenosine generated by the action of 5'-nucleotidase may elicit further effects on ion transport, often opposite those of ATP. ATP release from epithelia continues to be poorly understood. Integrated functional concepts for luminal P2 receptors are suggested: 1) luminal P2 receptors are part of an epithelial "secretory" defense mechanism; 2) they may be involved in the regulation of cell volume when transcellular solute transport is out of balance; 3) ATP and adenosine may be important autocrine/paracrine regulators mediating cellular protection and regeneration after ischemic cell damage; and 4) ATP and adenosine have been suggested to mediate renal cyst growth and enlargement in polycystic kidney disease.

Abstract
Salivary gland fluid secretion is driven by transepithelial Cl- movement involving an apical Cl- channel whose molecular identity remains unknown. Extracellular ATP (ATP(o)) has been shown to activate a Cl- conductance (I(ATPCl)) in secretory epithelia; to gain further insight into I(ATPCl) in mouse parotid acinar cells, we investigated the effects of ATP(o) using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. ATP(o) and 2'- and 3'-O-(4-benzoylbenzoyl)adenosine 5'-triphosphate triethylammonium salt (Bz-ATP) produced concentration-dependent, time-independent Cl- currents with an EC50 of 160 and 15 microM, respectively. I(ATPCl) displayed a selectivity sequence of SCN- > I- = NO3- > Cl- > glutamate, similar to the Cl- channels activated by Ca2+, cAMP and cell swelling in acinar cells. In contrast, I(ATPCl) was insensitive to pharmacological agents that are known to inhibit these latter Cl- channels, was independent of Ca2+ and was not regulated by cell volume. Moreover, the I(ATPCl) magnitude from wild-type animals was comparable to that from mice with null mutations in the Cftr, Clcn3 and Clcn2 Cl- channel genes. Taken together, our results demonstrate that I(ATPCl) is distinct from the channels described previously in acinar cells. The activation of I(ATPCl) by Bz-ATP suggests that P2 nucleotide receptors are involved. However, inhibition of G-protein activation with GDP-beta-S failed to block I(ATPCl), and Cibacron Blue 3GA and 4,4'-diisothyocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic disodium salt selectively inhibited the Na+ currents (presumably through P2X receptors) without altering I(ATPCl), suggesting that neither P2Y nor P2X receptors are likely to be involved in I(ATPCl) activation. We conclude that I(ATPCl) is not associated with Cl- channels previously characterized in mouse parotid acinar cells, nor is it dependent on P2 nucleotide receptor stimulation. I(ATPCl) expressed in acinar cells reflects the activation of a novel ATP-gated Cl- channel that may play an important physiological role in salivary gland fluid secretion.

Abstract
Why and how do cells release ATP? It is not spilled energy. ATP becomes an extracellular regulator. Various cellular responses are initiated by purinergic receptors and signaling processes and are terminated by breakdown of ATP by ectonucleotidases. In epithelia, ATP regulates salt and water transport; other effects may be longer lasting.

Abstract
Pancreatic duct cells secrete bicarbonate-rich fluids, which are important for maintaining the patency of pancreatic ductal trees as well as intestinal digestive function. The bulk of bicarbonate secretion in the luminal membrane of duct cells is mediated by a Cl(-)-dependent mechanism (Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange), and we previously reported that the mechanism is CFTR-dependent and cAMP-activated (Lee, M. G., Choi, J. Y., Luo, X., Strickland, E., Thomas, P. J., and Muallem, S. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 14670-14677). In the present study, we provide comprehensive evidence that calcium signaling also activates the same CFTR- and Cl(-)-dependent HCO(3)(-) transport. ATP and trypsin evoked intracellular calcium signaling in pancreatic duct-derived cells through the activation of purinergic and protease-activated receptors, respectively. Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange activity was measured by recording pH(i) in response to [Cl(-)](o) changes of the perfusate. In perfusate containing high concentrations of K(+), which blocks Cl(-) movement through electrogenic or K(+)-coupled pathways, ATP and trypsin highly stimulated luminal Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange activity in CAPAN-1 cells expressing wild-type CFTR, but not in CFPAC-1 cells that have defective (DeltaF508) CFTR. Notably, adenoviral transfection of wild-type CFTR in CFPAC-1 cells completely restored the stimulatory effect of ATP on luminal Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange. In addition, the chelation of intracellular calcium by 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N,N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA) treatment abolished the effect of calcium agonists on luminal Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange. These results provide a molecular basis for calcium-induced bicarbonate secretion in pancreatic duct cells and highlight the importance of CFTR in epithelial bicarbonate secretion induced by various stimuli.

Abstract
A non-genomic antisecretory role for dexamethasone at low concentrations (0.1 nM to1 microM) is described in monolayers of human bronchial epithelial cells in primary culture and in a continuous cell line (16HBE14o- cells). Dexamethasone produced a rapid decrease of [Ca(2+)](i) (measured with fura-2 spectrofluorescence) to a new steady-state concentration. After 15 min exposure to dexamethasone (1 nM), [Ca(2+)](i) was reduced by 32 +/- 11 nM (n = 7, P < 0.0001) from a basal value of 213 +/- 36 nM (n = 7). We have shown previously that aldosterone (1 nM) also produces a rapid fall in [Ca(2+)](i); however, after the decrease in [Ca(2+)](i) induced by dexamethasone, subsequent addition of aldosterone did not produced any further lowering of [Ca(2+)](i). The rapid response to dexamethasone was insensitive to pretreatment with cycloheximide and unaffected by the glucocorticoid type II and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists RU486 and spironolactone, respectively. The rapid [Ca(2+)](i) decrease induced by dexamethasone was inhibited by the Ca(2+)-ATPase pump inhibitor thapsigargin (1 microM), the adenylate cyclase inhibitor MDL hydrochloride (500 microM) and the protein kinase A inhibitor Rp-adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphorothioate (200 microM), but was not affected by the protein kinase C inhibitor, chelerythrine chloride (0.1 microM). Treatment of 16HBE14o- cell monolayers with dexamethasone (1 nM) inhibited the large and transient [Ca(2+)](i) increase induced by apical exposure to ATP (10(-4) M). Dexamethasone (1 nM) also reduced by 30 % the Ca(2+)-dependant Cl(-) secretion induced by apical exposure to ATP (measured as the Cl(-)-sensitive short-circuit current across monolayers mounted in Ussing chambers). Our results demonstrate, for the first time, that dexamethasone at low concentrations inhibits Cl(-) secretion in human bronchial epithelial cells. The rapid inhibition of Cl(-) secretion induced by the synthetic glucocorticoid is associated with a rapid decrease in [Ca(2+)](i) via a non-genomic mechanism that does not involve the classical glucocorticoid or mineralocorticoid receptor. Rather, it is a result of rapid non-genomic stimulation of thapsigargin-sensitive Ca(2+)-ATPase, via adenylate cyclase and protein kinase A signalling.

Abstract
P2X receptors are membrane ion channels that open in response to the binding of extracellular ATP. Seven genes in vertebrates encode P2X receptor subunits, which are 40-50% identical in amino acid sequence. Each subunit has two transmembrane domains, separated by an extracellular domain (approximately 280 amino acids). Channels form as multimers of several subunits. Homomeric P2X1, P2X2, P2X3, P2X4, P2X5, and P2X7 channels and heteromeric P2X2/3 and P2X1/5 channels have been most fully characterized following heterologous expression. Some agonists (e.g., alphabeta-methylene ATP) and antagonists [e.g., 2',3'-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-ATP] are strongly selective for receptors containing P2X1 and P2X3 subunits. All P2X receptors are permeable to small monovalent cations; some have significant calcium or anion permeability. In many cells, activation of homomeric P2X7 receptors induces a permeability increase to larger organic cations including some fluorescent dyes and also signals to the cytoskeleton; these changes probably involve additional interacting proteins. P2X receptors are abundantly distributed, and functional responses are seen in neurons, glia, epithelia, endothelia, bone, muscle, and hemopoietic tissues. The molecular composition of native receptors is becoming understood, and some cells express more than one type of P2X receptor. On smooth muscles, P2X receptors respond to ATP released from sympathetic motor nerves (e.g., in ejaculation). On sensory nerves, they are involved in the initiation of afferent signals in several viscera (e.g., bladder, intestine) and play a key role in sensing tissue-damaging and inflammatory stimuli. Paracrine roles for ATP signaling through P2X receptors are likely in neurohypophysis, ducted glands, airway epithelia, kidney, bone, and hemopoietic tissues. In the last case, P2X7 receptor activation stimulates cytokine release by engaging intracellular signaling pathways.

Abstract
Regulated secretion in exocrine and neuroendocrine cells occurs through exocytosis of secretory granules and the subsequent release of stored small molecules and proteins. The introduction of biophysical techniques with high temporal and spatial resolution, and the identification of Ca(2+)-dependent and -independent "docking" and "fusion" proteins, has greatly enhanced our understanding of exocytosis. The cloning of families of ion channel proteins, including intracellular ion channels, has also revived interest in the role of secretory granule ion channels in exocytotic secretion. Thus secretory granules of pancreatic acinar cell express a ClC-2 Cl(-) channel, a HCO-permeable member of the CLCA Ca(2+)-dependent anion channel family, and a KCNQ1 K(+) channel. Evidence suggests that these channels may facilitate the release of digestive enzymes and/or prevent exocytosed granules from collapsing during "kiss and run" recycling. In pancreatic beta-cells, a granular ClC-3 Cl(-) channel provides a shunt pathway for a vacuolar-type H(+)-ATPase. Acidification "primes" the granules for Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis and release of insulin. In summary, secretory granules are equipped with specific sets of ion channels, which modulate regulated exocytosis and the release of macromolecules. These channels could represent excellent targets for therapeutic interventions to control exocytotic secretion in relevant diseases, such as pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, or diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are considered the principal initiators of immune response because of their ability to migrate into peripheral tissues and lymphoid organs, process antigens, and activate naive T cells. There is evidence that extracellular nucleotides regulate certain functions of DCs via G-protein-coupled P2Y receptors (P2YR) and ion-channel-gated P2X receptors (P2XR). Here we investigated the chemotactic activity and analyzed the migration-associated intracellular signaling events such as actin reorganization and Ca(++) transients induced by common P2R agonists such as adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) and 2-methylthioadenosine triphosphate, the P2YR agonists UTP and adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP), or the P2XR agonists alphabeta-methylenadenosine-5'-triphosphate and 2',3'-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl-ATP. The common P2R agonists and the selective P2YR agonists turned out to be potent chemotactic stimuli for immature DCs, but not for mature DCs. In contrast, P2XR agonists had only marginal chemotactic activity in both DC types. Chemotaxis was paralleled by a rise in the intracellular Ca(++) concentration and by actin polymerization. Studies with pertussis toxin implicated that intracellular signaling events such as actin polymerization, mobilization of intracellular Ca(++), and migration induced by nucleotides was mediated via G(i/o) protein-coupled P2YR. Moreover, functional studies revealed selective down-regulation of this G(i/o) protein-coupled chemotactic P2YR responsiveness during maturation, although immature and mature DCs expressed similar amounts of mRNA for the P2R subtypes (P2Y(2)R, P2Y(4)R, P2Y(5)R, P2Y(7)R, P2Y(11)R and P2X(1)R, P2X(4)R, P2X(7)R), and no major differences in respect to the mRNA expression of these receptors could be observed by semiquantitative reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). In summary, our data describe a differential chemotactic response of immature and mature DCs to nucleotides, and lend further support to the hypothesis that P2R are a novel class of immunomodulatory plasma membrane receptors suitable for pharmacological intervention.

We previously reported that chronic stimulation with low, noncytotoxic doses of extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) induced a distorted maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) and impaired their capacity to initiate T-helper (Th) 1 responses in vitro. Here, we examined the effects of ATP on chemokine-receptor expression and chemokine production by DCs. ATP strongly induced expression of CXC chemokine receptor 4 on both immature and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated DCs and slightly up-regulated CC chemokine receptor (CCR) 7 on both DC types. In contrast, ATP reduced CCR5 expression on immature DCs. These effects were confirmed at both the messenger RNA and protein levels and were not produced by uridine triphosphate (UTP). Consistent with the changed receptor expression, ATP increased migration and intracellular calcium of immature and mature DCs to stromal-derived factor 1 (CXC ligand [CXCL] 12) and macrophage inflammatory protein [MIP] 3 beta (CC ligand [CCL] 19), whereas responses to MIP-1 beta (CCL4) were reduced. DCs are an important source of chemokines influencing recruitment of distinct T-lymphocyte subsets. ATP, but not UTP, significantly reduced LPS-induced production of interferon-inducible protein 10 (CXCL10) and regulated upon activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted chemokine (CCL5); increased secretion of macrophage-derived chemokine (CCL22); and did not change production of thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (CCL17). Consistent with these findings, supernatants from ATP-treated mature DCs attracted Th1 and T-cytotoxic 1 cells less efficiently, whereas migration of Th2 and T cytotoxic 2 cells was not affected. Our data suggest that ATP provides a signal for enhanced lymph node localization of DCs but that it may, at the same time, diminish the capacity of DCs to amplify type 1 immune responses.
