Abstract
Extracellular nucleotides are important messengers involved in series crucial physiological functions through the activation of P2 purinergic receptors. The detailed function and mechanism of the P2Y family in regulating immune response against invaded pathogens still remains unknown. In this study, the activation of purinoreceptor P2Y(6) by UDP was found to play a crucial role in promoting host defense against invaded bacteria through monocytes/macrophages recruitment. The expression level of P2Y(6) was much higher than other purinoreceptors in RAW264.7 cells, bone marrow macrophages, and peritoneal macrophages determined by real-time PCR. The supernatant of UDP (P2Y(6)-specific agonist)-treated RAW264.7 cells exhibited direct chemotaxis to monocytes/macrophages in vitro through Boyden Chambers assay. Meanwhile, the releasing of MCP-1 (MCP-1/CCL2) was enhanced obviously by UDP both in mRNA and protein level. Furthermore, the activation of P2Y(6) receptor by UDP also promotes ERK phosphorylation and AP-1 activation in a concentration- and time-dependent manner in RAW264.7 cells. This UDP-induced activation could be inhibited by P2Y(6) selectivity antagonist (MRS2578), MEK inhibitor (U0126), and MCP-1 blocking Ab, respectively. Moreover, i.p. injection with UDP resulted in a more efficacious clearance of invaded Escherichia coli and lower mortality in peritonitis mouse model. Together, our studies demonstrate that P2Y(6) receptor could be a novel mediator in upregulating innate immune response against the invaded pathogens through recruiting monocytes/macrophages.

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
The present study provides functional characterization of alternative splicing of the NTPDase2 (ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase-2) involved in the regulation of extracellular nucleotide concentrations in a range of organ systems. A novel NTPDase2beta isoform produced by alternative splicing of the rat NTPDase2 gene provides an extended intracellular C-terminus and distinguishes itself from NTPDase2alpha isoform in gaining several intracellular protein kinase CK2 (casein kinase 2) phosphorylation sites and losing the intracellular protein kinase C motif. The plasmids containing NTPDase2alpha or NTPDase2beta cDNA were used to stably transfect Chinese-hamster ovary-S cells. Imaging studies showed that NTPDase2alpha was predominantly membrane-bound, whereas NTPDase2beta had combined cell surface and intracellular localization. alpha and beta isoforms showed variations in divalent cation dependence and substrate specificity for nucleoside-5'-triphosphates and nucleoside-5'-diphosphates. NTPDase2beta exhibited reduced ATPase activity and no apparent ADPase activity. NTPDase2 isoforms demonstrated similar sensitivity to inhibitors such as suramin and pyridoxal phosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulphonic acid, and differential regulation by protein kinases. NTPDase2beta was up-regulated by intracellular protein kinase CK2 phosphorylation, whereas NTPDase2alpha activity was down-regulated by protein kinase C phosphorylation. The results demonstrate that alternative coding of the intracellular C-terminal domain contributes distinctive phenotypic variation with respect to extracellular nucleotide specificity, hydrolysis kinetics, protein kinase-dependent intracellular regulation and protein trafficking. These findings advance the molecular physiology of this enzyme system by characterizing the contribution of the C-terminal domain to many of the enzyme's signature properties.

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
To begin to address the functional interactions between constitutively released nucleotides, ectonucleotidase activity, and P2Y receptor-promoted signaling responses, we engineered the human P2Y(1) receptor in a fusion protein with a member of the ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase family, NTPDase1. Membranes prepared from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 cells stably expressing either wild-type NTPDase1 or the P2Y(1) receptor-NTPDase1 fusion protein exhibited nucleotide-hydrolytic activities that were over 300-fold greater than activity measured in membranes from empty vector-transfected cells. The molecular ratio for nucleoside triphosphate versus diphosphate hydrolysis was approximately 1:0.4 for both the wild-type NTPDase1 and P2Y(1)-NTPDase1 fusion protein. Stable expression of the P2Y(1)-NTPDase1 fusion protein conferred an ADP and 2MeSADP-promoted Ca(2+) response to CHO-K1 cells. Moreover, the maximal capacity of the nonhydrolyzable agonist ADPbetaS to stimulate inositol phosphate accumulation was similar, and the EC(50) of ADPbetaS was lower in the fusion protein than the wild-type receptor. In contrast, the substantial nucleotide-hydrolyzing activity of the fusion protein resulted in a greater than 50-fold shift to the right of the concentration-effect curve of ADP for activation of phospholipase C compared with the wild-type receptor. Heterologous expression of the P2Y(1) and other P2Y receptors results in marked increases in basal inositol phosphate levels. Given the high nucleotidase activity and apparently normal receptor signaling activity of the P2Y(1) receptor-NTPDase1 fusion protein, we quantitated basal inositol phosphate accumulation in cells stably expressing either the wild-type P2Y(1) receptor or the fusion protein. Although marked elevation of inositol phosphate levels occurred with wild-type P2Y(1) receptor expression, levels in cells expressing the fusion protein were not different from those in wild-type CHO-K1 cells.
