J Biol Chem 2024; 300:105589. [PMID: 38141758 PMCID: PMC10828443 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2023.105589] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Several P2Y nucleotide receptors have been shown to be involved in the early stage of adipocyte differentiation in vitro and insulin resistance in obese mice; however, the exact receptor subtype(s) and its underlying molecular mechanism in relevant human cells are unclear. Here, using human primary visceral preadipocytes as a model, we found that during preadipocyte-to-mature adipocyte differentiation, the P2Y2 nucleotide receptor (P2Y2R) was the most upregulated subtype among the eight known P2Y receptors and the only one further dramatically upregulated after inflammatory TNFα treatment. Functional studies indicated that the P2Y2R induced intracellular Ca2+, ERK1/2, and JNK signaling but not the p38 pathway. In addition, stimulation of the P2Y2R suppressed basal and insulin-induced phosphorylation of AKT, accompanied by decreased GLUT4 membrane translocation and glucose uptake in mature adipocytes, suggesting a role of P2Y2R in insulin resistance. Mechanistically, we found that activation of P2Y2R did not increase lipolysis but suppressed PIP3 generation. Interestingly, activation of P2Y2R triggered Gi-protein coupling, and pertussis toxin pretreatment largely inhibited P2Y2R-mediated ERK1/2 signaling and cAMP suppression. Further, treatment of the cells with AR-C 118925XX, a selective P2Y2R antagonist, significantly inhibited adipogenesis, and P2Y2R knockout decreased mouse body weight gain with smaller eWAT mass infiltrated with fewer macrophages as compared to WT mice in response to a Western diet. Thus, we revealed that terminal adipocyte differentiation and inflammation selectively upregulate P2Y2R expression and that P2Y2R mediates insulin resistance by suppressing the AKT signaling pathway, highlighting P2Y2R as a potential new drug target to combat obesity and type-2 diabetes.

Blocking P2Y2 purinergic receptor prevents the development of lipopolysaccharide-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome. Front Immunol 2023; 14:1310098. [PMID: 38179047 PMCID: PMC10765495 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1310098] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with high morbidity and mortality resulting from a direct or indirect injury of the lung. It is characterized by a rapid alveolar injury, lung inflammation with neutrophil accumulation, elevated permeability of the microvascular-barrier leading to an aggregation of protein-rich fluid in the lungs, followed by impaired oxygenation in the arteries and eventual respiratory failure. Very recently, we have shown an involvement of the Gq-coupled P2Y2 purinergic receptor (P2RY2) in allergic airway inflammation (AAI). In the current study, we aimed to elucidate the contribution of the P2RY2 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ARDS mouse model. We found that the expression of P2ry2 in neutrophils, macrophages and lung tissue from animals with LPS-induced ARDS was strongly upregulated at mRNA level. In addition, ATP-neutralization by apyrase in vivo markedly attenuated inflammation and blocking of P2RY2 by non-selective antagonist suramin partially decreased inflammation. This was indicated by a reduction in the number of neutrophils, concentration of proinflammatory cytokines in the BALF, microvascular plasma leakage and reduced features of inflammation in histological analysis of the lung. P2RY2 blocking has also attenuated polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) migration into the interstitium of the lungs in ARDS mouse model. Consistently, treatment of P2ry2 deficient mice with LPS lead to an amelioration of the inflammatory response showed by reduced number of neutrophils and concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines. In attempts to identify the cell type specific role of P2RY2, a series of experiments with conditional P2ry2 knockout animals were performed. We observed that P2ry2 expression in neutrophils, but not in the airway epithelial cells or CD4+ cells, was associated with the inflammatory features caused by ARDS. Altogether, our findings imply for the first time that increased endogenous ATP concentration via activation of P2RY2 is related to the pathogenesis of LPS-induced lung inflammation and may represent a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of ARDS and predictably assess new treatments in ARDS.

Abstract
The sex of an animal impacts glucose sensitivity, but little information is available regarding the mechanisms causing that difference, especially during acute inflammation. We examined sex-specific differences in the role of the P2Y2 receptor (P2Y2R) in glucose flux with and without LPS challenge. Male and female wild-type and P2Y2R knockout mice (P2Y2R-/-) were injected with LPS or saline and glucose tolerance tests (GTT) were performed. P2Y2R, insulin receptor, and GLUT4 transporter gene expression was also evaluated. Female mice had reduced fasting plasma glucose and females had reduced glucose excursion times compared to male mice during GTT. P2Y2R-/- males had significantly decreased glucose flux throughout the GTT as compared to all female mice. Acute inflammation reduced fasting plasma glucose and the GTT area under the curve in both sexes. While both wild-type and P2Y2R-/- male animals displayed reduced fasting glucose in LPS treatment, female mice did not have significant difference in glucose tolerance, suggesting that the effects of P2Y2R are specific to male mice, even under inflammatory conditions. Overall, we conclude that the role for the purinergic receptor, P2Y2R, in regulating glucose metabolism is minimal in females but plays a large role in male mice, particularly in the acute inflammatory state.

Abstract
Early risk assessments and interventions for metabolic syndrome (MetS) are limited because of a lack of effective biomarkers. In the present study, several candidate genes were selected as a blood-based transcriptomic signature for MetS. We collected so far the largest MetS-associated peripheral blood high-throughput transcriptomics data and put forward a novel feature selection strategy by combining weighted gene co-expression network analysis, protein-protein interaction network analysis, LASSO regression and random forest approaches. Two gene modules and 51 hub genes as well as a 9-hub-gene signature associated with metabolic syndrome were identified. Then, based on this 9-hub-gene signature, we performed logistic analysis and subsequently established a web nomogram calculator for metabolic syndrome risk (https://xjtulgz.shinyapps.io/DynNomapp/). This 9-hub-gene signature showed excellent classification and calibration performance (AUC = 0.968 in training set, AUC = 0.883 in internal validation set, AUC = 0.861 in external validation set) as well as ideal potential clinical benefit.

Abstract
The release of nucleotides during necrosis or apoptosis has been described to have both proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory effect on the surrounding cells. Here we describe how low concentrations of UTP and ATP applied during macrophage priming enhance IL-1β production when subsequently the NLRP3 inflammasome is activated in murine resident peritoneal macrophages. Deficiency or pharmacological inhibition of the purinergic receptor P2Y2 reverted the increase of IL-1β release induced by nucleotides. IL-1β increase was found dependent on the expression of Il1b gene and probably involving JNK activity. On the contrary, nucleotides decreased the production of a different proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α. These results suggest that nucleotides could shape the response of macrophages to obtain a unique proinflammatory signature that might be relevant in unrevealing specific inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
The cause of most hypertensive disease is unclear, but inflammation appears critical in disease progression. However, how elevated blood pressure initiates inflammation is unknown, as are the effects of high blood pressure on innate and adaptive immune responses. We now report that hypertensive mice have increased T cell responses to antigenic challenge and develop more severe T cell-mediated immunopathology. A root cause for this is hypertension-induced erythrocyte adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) release, leading to an increase in plasma ATP levels, which begins soon after the onset of hypertension and stimulates P2X7 receptors on antigen-presenting cells (APCs), increasing APC expression of CD86. Hydrolyzing ATP or blocking the P2X7 receptor eliminated hypertension-induced T cell hyperactivation. In addition, pharmacologic or genetic blockade of P2X7 receptor activity suppressed the progression of hypertension. Consistent with the results in mice, we also found that untreated human hypertensive patients have significantly elevated plasma ATP levels compared with treated hypertensive patients or normotensive controls. Thus, a hypertension-induced increase in extracellular ATP triggers augmented APC and T cell function and contributes to the immune-mediated pathologic changes associated with hypertensive disease.

Abstract
P2Y2, a G protein-coupled receptor (R), is expressed in all organs involved in the development of obesity and insulin resistance. To explore the role of it in diet-induced obesity, we fed male P2Y2-R whole body knockout (KO) and wild type (WT) mice (B6D2 genetic background) with regular diet (CNT; 10% calories as fat) or high-fat diet (HFD; 60% calories as fat) with free access to food and water for 16 weeks, and euthanized them. Adjusted for body weights (BW), KO mice consumed modestly, but significantly more HFD vs. WT mice, and excreted well-formed feces with no taint of fat or oil. Starting from the 2nd week, HFD-WT mice displayed significantly higher BW with terminal mean difference of 22% vs. HFD-KO mice. Terminal weights of white adipose tissue (WAT) were significantly lower in the HFD-KO vs. HFD-WT mice. The expression of P2Y2-R mRNA in WAT was increased by 2-fold in HFD-fed WT mice. Serum insulin, leptin and adiponectin levels were significantly elevated in the HFD-WT mice, but not in the HFD-KO mice. When induced in vitro, preadipocytes derived from KO mice fed regular diet did not differentiate and mature as robustly as those from the WT mice, as assessed by cellular expansion and accumulation of lipid droplets. Blockade of P2Y2-R by AR-C118925 in preadipocytes derived from WT mice prevented differentiation and maturation. Under basal conditions, KO mice had significantly higher serum triglycerides and showed slightly impaired lipid tolerance as compared to the WT mice. HFD-fed KO mice had significantly better glucose tolerance (GTT) as compared to HFD-fed WT mice. Whole body insulin sensitivity and mRNA expression of insulin receptor, IRS-1 and GLUT4 in WAT was significantly higher in HFD-fed KO mice vs. HFD-fed WT mice. On the contrary, the expression of pro-inflammatory molecules MCP-1, CCR2, CD68, and F4/80 were significantly higher in the WAT of HFD-fed WT vs. HFD-fed KO mice. These data suggest that P2Y2-R plays a significant role in the development of diet-induced obesity by promoting adipogenesis and inflammation, and altering the production of adipokines and lipids and their metabolism in adipose tissue, and thereby facilitates HFD-induced insulin resistance.

Abstract
ATP, NAD+, and nucleic acids are abundant purines that, in addition to having critical intracellular functions, have evolved extracellular roles as danger signals released in response to cell lysis, apoptosis, degranulation, or membrane pore formation. In general ATP and NAD+ have excitatory and adenosine has anti-inflammatory effects on immune cells. This review focuses on recent advances in our understanding of purine release mechanisms, ectoenzymes that metabolize purines (CD38, CD39, CD73, ENPP1, and ENPP2/autotaxin), and signaling by key P2 purinergic receptors (P2X7, P2Y2, and P2Y12). In addition to metabolizing ATP or NAD+, some purinergic ectoenzymes metabolize other inflammatory modulators, notably lysophosphatidic acid and cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP). Also discussed are extracellular signaling effects of NAD+ mediated by ADP-ribosylation, and epigenetic effects of intracellular adenosine mediated by modification of S-adenosylmethionine-dependent DNA methylation.

Abstract
Sterile inflammation of visceral fat, provoked by dying adipocytes, links the metabolic syndrome to cardiovascular disease. Danger-associated molecular patterns, such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), are released by activated or dying cells and orchestrate leukocyte infiltration and inflammation via the purinergic receptor P2Y2. The gene expression of ATP receptor P2Y2 did not change in several tissues in the course of obesity, but was increased within epididymal fat. Adipose tissue from P2Y 2 -/- mice consuming high-fat diet (HFD) contained less crown-like structures with a reduced frequency of adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs). This was likely due to decreased leukocyte migration because of missing VCAM-1 exposition on P2Y2 deficient hypertrophic adipose tissue endothelial cells. Accordingly, P2Y 2 -/- mice showed blunted traits of the metabolic syndrome: they gained less weight compared to P2Y 2 +/+ controls, while intake of food and movement behaviour remained unchanged. Liver and adipose tissue were smaller in P2Y 2 -/- animals. Insulin tolerance testing (ITT) performed in obese P2Y 2 -/- mice revealed a better insulin sensitivity as well as lower plasma C-peptide and cholesterol levels. We demonstrate that interfering with somatic P2Y2 signalling prevents excessive immune cell deposition in diet-induced obesity (DIO), both attenuating adipose tissue inflammation and ameliorating the metabolic phenotype. Thus, blocking the P2Y2 cascade may be a promising strategy to limit metabolic disease and its sequelae.
