Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess functional expression of the P2Y2 nucleotide receptor (P2Y2R) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cell lines and define its role in nucleotide-induced epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) transactivation. The use of anti-EGFR therapeutics to treat HNSCC is hindered by intrinsic and acquired drug resistance. Defining novel pathways that modulate EGFR signaling could identify additional targets to treat HNSCC. MATERIALS AND METHODS In human HNSCC cell lines CAL27 and FaDu and the mouse oral cancer cell line MOC2, P2Y2R contributions to extracellular nucleotide-induced changes in intracellular free Ca2+ concentration and EGFR and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2) phosphorylation were determined using the ratiometric Ca2+ indicator fura-2 and immunoblot analysis, respectively. Genetic knockout of P2Y2Rs using CRISPR technology or pharmacological inhibition with P2Y2R-selective antagonist AR-C118925 defined P2Y2R contributions to in vivo tumor growth. RESULTS P2Y2R agonists UTP and ATP increased intracellular Ca2+ levels and ERK1/2 and EGFR phosphorylation in CAL27 and FaDu cells, responses that were inhibited by AR-C118925 or P2Y2R knockout. P2Y2R-mediated EGFR phosphorylation was also attenuated by inhibition of the adamalysin family of metalloproteases or Src family kinases. P2Y2R knockout reduced UTP-induced CAL27 cell proliferation in vitro and significantly reduced CAL27 and FaDu tumor xenograft volume in vivo. In a syngeneic mouse model of oral cancer, AR-C118925 administration reduced MOC2 tumor volume. CONCLUSION P2Y2Rs mediate HNSCC cell responses to extracellular nucleotides and genetic or pharmacological blockade of P2Y2R signaling attenuates tumor cell proliferation and tumorigenesis, suggesting that the P2Y2R represents a novel therapeutic target in HNSCC.

Abstract
Inflammation of the salivary gland is a well-documented aspect of salivary gland dysfunction that occurs in Sjogren's syndrome (SS), an autoimmune disease, and in γ-radiation-induced injury during treatment of head and neck cancers. Extracellular nucleotides have gained recognition as key modulators of inflammation through activation of cell surface ionotropic and metabotropic receptors, although the contribution of extracellular nucleotides to salivary gland inflammation is not well understood. In vitro studies using submandibular gland (SMG) cell aggregates isolated from wild-type C57BL/6 mice indicate that treatment with ATP or the high affinity P2X7R agonist 3'-O-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl-ATP (BzATP) induces membrane blebbing and enhances caspase activity, responses that were absent in SMG cell aggregates isolated from mice lacking the P2X7R (P2X7R(-/-)). Additional studies with SMG cell aggregates indicate that activation of the P2X7R with ATP or BzATP stimulates the cleavage and release of α-fodrin, a cytoskeletal protein thought to act as an autoantigen in the development of SS. In vivo administration of BzATP to ligated SMG excretory ducts enhances immune cell infiltration into the gland and initiates apoptosis of salivary epithelial cells in wild-type, but not P2X7R(-/-), mice. These findings indicate that activation of the P2X7R contributes to salivary gland inflammation in vivo, suggesting that the P2X7R may represent a novel target for the treatment of salivary gland dysfunction.

The P2X(7) receptor-pannexin connection to dye uptake and IL-1beta release. Purinergic Signal 2009; 5:129-37.

Abstract
The P2X(7) receptor (P2X(7)R) is uniquely associated with two distinct cellular responses: activation of a dye-permeable pathway allowing passage of molecules up to 900 Da and rapid release of the pro-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), from activated macrophage. How this dye uptake path forms and whether it is involved in IL-1beta release has not been known. Pannexin-1 is a recently identified protein found to physically associate with the P2X(7)R. Inhibition of pannexin-1 does not alter P2X(7)R ion channel activation or associated calcium flux but blocks one component of P2X(7)R-induced dye uptake and unmasks a slower, previously undetected, dye uptake pathway. Inhibition of pannexin-1 blocks P2X(7)R-mediated IL-1beta release from macrophage as well as release mediated by other stimuli which couple to activation of capase-1 and additionally inhibits the release of interleukin-1alpha, a member of the IL-1 family whose processing does not require caspase-1 activation. Thus, pannexin-1 is linked to both dye uptake and IL-1beta release but via distinct mechanisms.

Abstract
Effects of external ATP application on the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) of the epithelial lining cells of the cochlear lateral wall, the stria vascularis (SV), spiral prominence (SP), and external sulcus (ES) cells, were examined by the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator, Fura-2. ATP induced an increase in [Ca2+]i of these epithelial cells loaded with Fura-2 in a dose-dependent manner (1-100 microM). The strongest response was observed in SP and ES cells, whereas SV cells showed a weak response. The increase in [Ca2+]i was a biphasic response consisting of a rapid transient peak followed by a sustained phase. Removal of the external Ca2+ caused a slight transient increase in [Ca2+]i without a subsequent sustained phase. The Mn2(+)-quenching method revealed the Ca2+ entry across the plasma membrane immediately after the ATP application. The initial peak results from both the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores and the Ca2+ influx from the extracellular space. The sustained phase is totally derived from the external Ca2+. The effective order of purinergic agonists was 2-methylthio ATP > or = ATP > 3'-O-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl ATP > alpha, beta-methylene ATP > or = ADP, but adenosine or UTP showed no response. The ATP-induced [Ca2+]i response was inhibited by reactive blue 2. The [Ca2+]i was partially dependent on the concentration of the fully ionized form, ATP-4. These findings indicate the presence of both P2y- and P2z-purinergic receptors in the non-sensory epithelial cells of the lateral wall.

Abstract
1. Increasing concentrations of ATP (0.5 microM-300 microM) produced a biphasic increase in intracellular calcium concentration [Ca]i in rat parotid acinar cells, reflecting two distinct Cai responses to extracellular ATP. 2. In the absence of Mg2+ (with 3 mM CaCl2 in the buffer solution), the more sensitive response was maximal at 3-5 microM and was not further increased by 30 microM ATP. This response to ATP was not well maintained and was blocked by ADP (0.5 mM). A second, much larger increase in Cai was observed on addition of 300 microM ATP. This larger effect, which we have described previously, appears to be mediated by ATP4-, and was selectively reversed by 4,4'-di-isothiocyanato-dihydrostilbene-2,2'-disulphonate as well as by high concentrations of alpha,beta-methylene ATP. 3. Among ATP analogues, only the putative P2Z agonist, 3'-0-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl-ATP distinguished between the two responses. This analogue was at least 10 fold more potent than ATP in stimulating the ATP(4-)-response, but did not evoke the more sensitive response. The agonist potency series for both responses to ATP was identical for other analogues examined (ATP > ATP gamma S = 2-methylthio ATP (a P2y-selective agonist) >> ADP, ITP and alpha,beta-methylene ATP (a P2x-selective agonist)). 4. Although the effect of ATP4- could best be characterized as a P2z-type purinoceptor response, this effect was strongly and selectively blocked by reactive blue 2, a putative P2y-purinoceptor antagonist. Reactive blue 2 may bind to and block P2z purinoceptors since [gamma 32P]-ATP binding to parotid cells was inhibited by this compound. 5. In contrast to the response to ATP4-, the more sensitive response to ATP was potentiated by 2+ reactive blue 2 and was less affected by increases in external Mg2+ and Ca2+.6. Parasympathetic denervation selectively increased the more sensitive response, suggesting that it maybe physiologically regulated.

Abstract
In an attempt to ameliorate the morphological abnormalities and decreased renal function produced by hypoxia in the isolated perfused rat kidney, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) was added to the perfusate medium. No improvement was noted in the histological changes or renal function. Paradoxically, however, in oxygenated control kidneys, ATP (2.5-10 mM), caused a severe injury remarkably limited to the S2 segments of proximal tubule. This injury was more destructive than that observed with complete ischemia for the same period of time or with inhibitors of glycolysis, intermediary metabolism, or respiratory chain function. Tubular damage produced by ATP was paradoxically prevented by hypoxia and mitochondrial inhibition. The mechanism of this selective toxic injury to the proximal tubule remains unclear and may depend upon intact transport metabolism of the cell.

Abstract
To determine whether phosphorylation of cell surface proteins is involved in NK cell activity, the phosphorylation patterns of a rat NK cell line (RNK-16) incubated with 12.5 microM [gamma-32P]ATP were characterized before and after exposure to YAC-1 cells, which serve as targets for killing, and K562 cells, which are not killed by RNK-16 cells. By 51Cr release assays, the inhibitory effect of ATP on RNK-16 killing activity previously reported was corroborated. RNK-16 cells prelabeled with 12.5 microM ATP show enhanced labeling of a 70- to 72,000-Da protein after exposure to unlabeled target YAC-1 cells but not after exposure to K562 cells. A protein of similar apparent molecular size is also labeled upon exposure of RNK-16 cells to OX-34, an antibody which binds and inhibits killing, as well as upon exposure to OX-18, which also binds but does not inhibit NK activity. These findings are indicative of the activation of a kinase with high affinity for [gamma-32P]ATP, which phosphorylates an endogenous surface substrate of 70-72,000 Da upon binding of macromolecules to the RNK-16 cells. RNK-16 cells, previously labeled with micromolars [gamma-32P]ATP and subsequently treated with millimolars unlabeled ATP, showed loss of label from a 110,000-Da protein component, indicative of the rapid turnover of a phosphate group on a surface protein. Thus, extracellular ATP enhances the phosphorylation of a 70- to 72,000-Da component upon binding of RNK-16 cells to target cells or upon binding of antibodies at micromolar concentrations of ATP and catalyzes the loss of phosphate from a 110,000-Da component at millimolar concentrations of ATP. These findings reflect a complex repertoire of surface phosphorylation changes which occur in RNK-16 cells.

Abstract
We have recently reported that extracellular ATP induces a transient rise in cytosolic free Ca2+ [( Ca2+]i) in individual human epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells (Gonzalez et al: Journal of Cellular Physiology 135:269-276, 1988). We have now studied nucleotide specificity and desensitization for several early responses. Extracellular ATP (5-100 microM) caused the rapid formation of inositol trisphosphate and later its metabolites, inositol bisphosphate and inositol monophosphate. ATP also induced the efflux of 45Ca2+ from pre-loaded cells. In addition, an increase in the rate of influx of 45Ca2+ stimulated by extracellular ATP was detected. Based on measurements of 45Ca2+ efflux and influx, desensitization studies, and chlortetracycline fluorimetry, we conclude that ATP mobilizes Ca2+ from internal stores and also stimulates entry across the plasma membrane. These effects were also displayed by UTP and to a lesser extent by ITP, while other nucleoside triphosphates as well as ADP, AMP, and adenosine, were inactive. Furthermore, desensitization of the response to ATP and UTP was seen after prolonged exposure to either nucleotide. This was specific for the nucleotide receptor since a response to bradykinin was not affected by the ATP pretreatment, although pretreatment with phorbol ester inhibited responses to both the nucleotides and bradykinin. Quantitative data on rate of recovery from the desensitized state and the response of desensitized cells to greatly elevated levels of ATP are presented. Extracellular ATP stimulated another early change previously reported for epidermal growth factor, namely, the phosphorylation of an 81-kDa cytoskeletal protein. The stimulation of these events involves an ATP receptor whose properties differ from other ATP receptors that have been described.

Abstract
A photoreactive analogue of ATP, 3'-O-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl adenosine 5'-triphosphate (BzATP) altered the plasma membrane permeability of transformed 3T6 mouse fibroblasts to normally impermeant molecules as previously reported for ATP, but at lower concentrations. BzATP-induced permeabilization was modulated by pH, temperature, and the ionic composition of the medium similar to the permeabilizing effects of ATP. Conditions known to enhance ATP-induced permeabilization, such as treatment with the mitochondrial uncoupler carbonyl cyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) or the Ca2+-calmodulin antagonist trifluoperazine also enhanced BzATP-induced permeabilization. Conditions inhibitory to ATP-induced permeabilization, including chloride replacement or treatment with furosemide or dithiothreitol (DTT), inhibited permeabilization induced by BzATP. The ionic strength of the medium modulated the responsiveness of the cells to ATP and BzATP; a decrease in the ionic strength below isotonicity increased the sensitivity of the cells to the nucleotides, whereas an increase in ionic strength above isotonicity inhibited permeabilization. Prolonged exposure to ATP under non-permeabilizing conditions caused the cells to become insensitive to ATP and BzATP. The densensitization phenomenon provides support for the theory that the permeabilization process is mediated by a receptor for ATP.

Abstract
Animal viruses modify membrane permeability during lytic infection. There is a co-entry of macromolecules and virion particules during virus penetration and a drastic change in transport and membrane permeability at the late stages of the lytic cycle. Both events are of importance to understand different molecular aspects of viral infection, as virus entry into the cell and the interference of virus infection with cellular metabolism. Other methods of cell permeabilization of potential relevance to understand the mechanism of viral damage of the membrane are also discussed.

Abstract
External ATP causes a great increase in the passive permeability of the plasma membrane for phosphorylated metabolites and other small molecules in cultured mammalian cells. We previously demonstrated that in CHO-K1 cells an ATP-dependent permeability change was induced in the presence of a mitochondrial inhibitor (KCN or rotenone), a cytoskeleton-attacking agent (vinblastine) and a calmodulin antagonist (trifluoperazine). These permeability changes were reversible but long exposure, for 30-60 min, to ATP together with a mitochondrial inhibitor significantly reduced the cell viability of the treated cells. Since this cell lysis was shown to be due to the ATP-dependent permeability change, we could isolate several clones resistant to the action of the external ATP from CHO-K1 cells after repeated treatment with ATP and rotenone. In 9.1 cells, one of the isolated clones, little or no ATP-dependent permeability change was observed in the presence of either a mitochondrial inhibitor, vinblastine or trifluoperazine. This CHO variant could be specifically resistant as to the change in membrane permeability induced by external ATP, since the permeabilities for the 2-deoxyglucose and drugs used in the present studies were similar to those in the case of the parent cells. These results suggest that a specific defect or alteration in the plasma membrane is involved in the ATP-dependent permeability change. It is also reported that Mg2+-dependent ATPase activity was found on the cell surface of both CHO-K1 and 9.1 cells, and this activity was shown to be not involved in the permeability change controlled by external ATP.

Abstract
External ATP under certain ionic conditions render transformed cells permeable to the translation inhibitor hygromycin B. With this method the protein toxin alpha-sarcin selectively penetrates into 3T6 cells, as compared to 3T3 cells. This entry is enhanced by ATP synthesis blockers such as CCCP. Other proteins, such as horseradish peroxidase and luciferase, also pass selectively in 3T6 cells under permeabilization conditions.

Abstract
The mechanism underlying ATP-induced permeabilization of transformed mouse fibroblasts was studied by using nonhydrolyzable analogues of ATP. Incubation of 3T6 cells with 0.6 mM of either ATP, 5'-adenylyl imidodiphosphate (p[NH]ppA) or adenosine 5'-[beta, gamma-methylene]triphosphate (p[CH2]ppA) resulted in an increase of 17-, 8- or 5-times, respectively, in the cell membrane permeability, measured by the efflux of normally impermeant metabolites from the cells. The induced cell permeabilization was preceded by a reduction in the membrane potential (delta psi), determined according to the distribution of the cation tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP+) between the cells and the medium. Reduction of 26, 18 and 13 mV in delta psi was exerted by 0.6 mM of either ATP, p[NH]ppA or p[CH2]ppA, respectively. In 3T3 cells the untransformed counterparts of 3T6 cells, neither reduction of delta psi, nor alterations in membrane permeability were exerted by either ATP or by its analogues. The data indicate that the dissociation of the beta, gamma-phosphate bond is not essential for membrane permeabilization by external ATP, implying that the binding of ATP to the cell surface of transformed cells is sufficient to initiate the permeabilization process. The data also suggest that delta psi is involved in the control of membrane permeability.

Abstract
Electrogenic ionophores have been found to induce membrane permeabilization in Swiss mouse 3T3 cells that had undergone spontaneous transformation (3T6 cells). Cells attached to plastic dishes were loaded with [3H] uridine, and then the medium was replaced by buffered salt solution at pH 7.8. The enhancement of membrane permeability was assayed by following the efflux of uridine nucleotides, normally impermeant substances. Titration with electrogenic ionophores, such as carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP), SF-6847 and gramicidin D, markedly increased the membrane permeability within a very narrow range of ionophore concentration. Non-electrogenic ionophores, such as monensin and nigericin, did not affect membrane permeability. Measurements of the distribution of the lipophilic cation tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP+) between the cells and their environment implied that the remarkable increase in permeability took place within a narrow range of membrane potential (delta psi). The data could be explained by a delta psi threshold value, under which aqueous channels are opened in the plasma membrane. The effects exerted by electrogenic ionophores on the plasma membrane were found to be similar to those induced by exogenous ATP. In both cases rapid efflux of K+, influx of Na+ and reduction of delta psi preceded membrane permeabilization to low molecular weight, charged molecules, such as nucleotides. It is suggested that dissipation of delta psi induces conformational alterations in membranal components, and/or topological changes, such as aggregation of protein molecules, to form membranal aqueous channels. Electrogenic ionophores permeabilize both normal (3T3) and transformed (3T6) mouse fibroblasts, whereas ATP effects are specific for transformed cells. Thus, it is postulated that ATP acts via specific sites on the surface of transformed cells.

Abstract
External ATP causes a great increase in passive permeability to phosphorylated metabolites in several transformed cells, but not in untransformed cells. We have previously demonstrated that the external ATP-dependent permeability change was induced in Chinese hamster ovary cells, CHO-K1, only in the presence of a mitochondrial inhibitor (rotenone, KCN) or a cytoskeleton-attacking agent, vinblastine (Kitagawa, T. and Akamatsu, Y. Biochim. Biophys. Acta 649, 76-82 (1981); 734, 25-32 (1983]. A similar ATP-dependent permeability change was also induced in CHO cells when the cells were treated with 10-30 microM trifluoperazine. This permeability change, like the previously mentioned ones, was found to be reversible and the treated cells remained viable. The permeability change induced by ATP and trifluoperazine was independent of changes in cellular ATP concentration and this property was the same as that of the permeability change with external ATP and vinblastine. Since trifluoperazine is known to interact with calmodulin and to inhibit calmodulin-dependent cellular functions, these results may indicate that calmodulin associated with the cytoskeleton plays an important role in control of the permeability change, although nonspecific perturbation by the drug of the membranes cannot be ruled out. Chlorpromazine and a naphthalene sulfonamide, W-7, also induced an ATP-dependent permeability change. However, these drugs, like mitochondrial inhibitors, reduced the cellular ATP concentration to induce the permeability change. Thus, a clear difference in the action of these drugs in intact cells was also shown in this study. Possible mechanisms for the ATP-dependent permeability change in mammalian cells are discussed.

Abstract
External ATP causes a rapid increase in passive permeability to nucleotides and phosphate esters in transformed cell lines, such as 3T6 mouse fibroblasts. However, untransformed lines, such as 3T3, do not show a similar sensitivity to external ATP. Ca2+ inhibits permeabilization, but only at concentrations approaching those of external ATP. In contrast, La3+ and Tb3+ inhibit ATP-dependent permeabilization at one-fifth the concentration of external ATP. Considering reports that lanthanides can substitute for calcium ion in many enzymatic reactions, often with a higher affinity, it would appear that Ca2+ plays a specific role in the maintenance of a passive membrane permeability barrier and in opposing the effects of external ATP. Other data suggest a regulatory role for the Ca2+-calmodulin complex in the permeabilization process. Trifluoperazine, chlorpromazine and W-7, compounds which inhibit cellular functions dependent on the Ca2+-calmodulin complex, are able to enhance the effect of external ATP. Thus, a dramatic stimulation of nucleotide permeability occurs with concentrations of external ATP and inhibitor that are ineffective when added alone. Calmodulin antagonists and low concentrations of external ATP increased membrane permeability to Na+ and K+ as was previously shown for permeabilization with ATP alone. Earlier studies have shown that energy inhibitors which reduce intracellular ATP levels greatly increase the sensitivity of transformed cells to external ATP. However, the Ca2+-calmodulin antagonists used in the present study exert their effects at concentrations which do not alter intracellular ATP levels.
