Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive and lethal among the primary brain tumors, with a low survival rate and resistance to radio and chemotherapy. The P2Y12 is an adenosine diphosphate (ADP) purinergic chemoreceptor, found mainly in platelets. In cancer cells, its activation has been described to induce proliferation and metastasis. Bearing in mind the need to find new treatments for GBM, this study aimed to investigate the role of the P2Y12R in the proliferation and migration of GBM cells, as well as to evaluate the expression of this receptor in patients' data obtained from the TCGA data bank. Here, we used the P2Y12R antagonist, ticagrelor, which belongs to the antiplatelet agent's class. The different GBM cells (cell line and patient-derived cells) were treated with ticagrelor, with the agonist, ADP, or both, and the effects on cell proliferation, colony formation, ADP hydrolysis, cell cycle and death, migration, and cell adhesion were analyzed. The results showed that ticagrelor decreased the viability and the proliferation of GBM cells. P2Y12R antagonism also reduced colony formation and migration potentials, with alterations on the expression of metalloproteinases, and induced autophagy in GBM cells. Changes were observed at the cell cycle level, and only the U251 cell line showed a significant reduction in the ADP hydrolysis profile. TCGA data analysis showed a higher expression of P2Y12R in gliomas samples when compared to the other tumors. These data demonstrate the importance of the P2Y12 receptor in gliomas development and reinforce its potential as a pharmacological target for glioma treatment.

Abstract
In the past two decades, purinergic signaling has emerged as a key regulator of hematopoiesis in physiological and pathological conditions. ADP receptor P2y12 is a crucial component of this signaling, but whether it is involved in primitive hematopoiesis remains unknown. To elucidate the function of P2y12 and provide new insights for drug development, we established a zebrafish P2y12 mutant by CRISPR/Cas 9-based genetic modification system, and investigated whether P2y12 acted as an important regulator for primitive hematopoiesis. By using mass spectrometry (MS) combined with RNA sequencing, we showed that absence of P2y12 induced excessive erythropoiesis, evidenced by significantly increased expression of mature erythrocytes marker α-globin (Hbae1 and Hbae3), β-globin (Hbbe1 and Hbbe3). Expression pattern analysis showed that P2y12 was mainly expressed in red blood cells and endothelial cells of early zebrafish embryos. Further studies revealed that primitive erythroid progenitor marker Gata1 was markedly up-regulated. Remarkably, inhibition of Gata1 by injection of Gata1 morpholino could rescue the erythroid abnormality in P2y12 mutants. The present study demonstrates the essential role of purinergic signaling in differentiation of proerythrocytes during primitive hematopoiesis, and provides potential targets for treatment of blood-related disease and drug development.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of integral membrane receptors with 800 members in humans that are expressed at the cell surface responding to a large panel of extracellular stimuli. Recent advances indicate that GPCRs are also expressed in intracellular compartments where they fulfil important functions. Here, we will report on the mitochondrial localization and function of GPCRs.

Abstract
Adenine nucleotides through P2Y1 receptor stimulation are known to control retinal progenitor cell (RPC) proliferation by modulating expression of the p57KIP2, a cell cycle regulator. However, the role of Gi protein-coupled P2Y12 and P2Y13 receptors also activated by adenine nucleotides in RPC proliferation is still unknown. Gene expression of the purinergic P2Y12 subtype was detected in rat retina during early postnatal days (P0 to P5), while expression levels of P2Y13 were low. Immunohistochemistry assays performed with rat retina on P3 revealed P2Y12 receptor expression in both Ki-67-positive cells in the neuroblastic layer and Ki-67-negative cells in the ganglion cell layer and inner nuclear layer. Nonetheless, P2Y13 receptor expression could not be detected in any stratum of rat retina. Intravitreal injection of PSB 0739 or clopidogrel, both selective P2Y12 receptor antagonists, increased by 20 and 15%, respectively, the number of Ki-67-positive cells following 24 h of exposure. Moreover, the P2Y12 receptor inhibition increased cyclin D1 and decreased p57KIP2 expression. However, there were no changes in the S phase of the cell cycle (BrdU-positive cells) or in mitosis (phospho-histone-H3-positive cells). Interestingly, an increase in the number of cyclin D1/TUNEL-positive cells after treatment with PSB 0739 was observed. These data suggest that activation of P2Y12 receptors is required for the successful exit of RPCs from cell cycle in the postnatal rat retina.

Abstract
Microglia are integral functional elements of the central nervous system, but the contribution of these cells to the structural integrity of the neurovascular unit has not hitherto been assessed. We show here that following blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown, P2RY12 (purinergic receptor P2Y, G-protein coupled, 12)-mediated chemotaxis of microglia processes is required for the rapid closure of the BBB. Mice treated with the P2RY12 inhibitor clopidogrel, as well as those in which P2RY12 was genetically ablated, exhibited significantly diminished movement of juxtavascular microglial processes and failed to close laser-induced openings of the BBB. Thus, microglial cells play a previously unrecognized protective role in the maintenance of BBB integrity following cerebrovascular damage. Because clopidogrel antagonizes the platelet P2Y12 receptor, it is widely prescribed for patients with coronary artery and cerebrovascular disease. As such, these observations suggest the need for caution in the postincident continuation of P2RY12-targeted platelet inhibition.

Abstract
Astrocytes are fundamental for central nervous system (CNS) physiology and are the fulcrum of neurological diseases. Astroglial cells control development of the nervous system, regulate synaptogenesis, maturation, maintenance and plasticity of synapses and are central for nervous system homeostasis. Astroglial reactions determine progression and outcome of many neuropathologies and are critical for regeneration and remodelling of neural circuits following trauma, stroke, ischaemia or neurodegenerative disorders. They secrete multiple neurotransmitters and neurohormones to communicate with neurones, microglia and the vascular walls of capillaries. Signalling through release of ATP is the most widespread mean of communication between astrocytes and other types of neural cells. ATP serves as a fast excitatory neurotransmitter and has pronounced long-term (trophic) roles in cell proliferation, growth, and development. During pathology, ATP is released from damaged cells and acts both as a cytotoxic factor and a proinflammatory mediator, being a universal "danger" signal. In this review, we summarise contemporary knowledge on the role of purinergic receptors (P2Rs) in a variety of diseases in relation to changes of astrocytic functions and nucleotide signalling. We have focussed on the role of the ionotropic P2X and metabotropic P2YRs working alone or in concert to modify the release of neurotransmitters, to activate signalling cascades and to change the expression levels of ion channels and protein kinases. All these effects are of great importance for the initiation, progression and maintenance of astrogliosis-the conserved and ubiquitous glial defensive reaction to CNS pathologies. We highlighted specific aspects of reactive astrogliosis, especially with respect to the involvement of the P2X(7) and P2Y(1)R subtypes. Reactive astrogliosis exerts both beneficial and detrimental effects in a context-specific manner determined by distinct molecular signalling cascades. Understanding the role of purinergic signalling in astrocytes is critical to identifying new therapeutic principles to treat acute and chronic neurological diseases.

Abstract
The majority of mammalian cells demonstrate regulatory volume decrease (RVD) following swelling caused by hyposmotic exposure. A critical signal initiating RVD is activation of nucleotide receptors by ATP. Elevated extracellular ATP in response to cytotoxic cell swelling during pathological conditions also may initiate loss of taurine and other intracellular osmolytes via anion channels. This study characterizes neuronal ATP-activated anion current and explores its role in net loss of amino acid osmolytes. To isolate anion currents, we used CsCl as the major electrolyte in patch electrode and bath solutions and blocked residual cation currents with NiCl(2) and tetraethylammonium. Anion currents were activated by extracellular ATP with a K(m) of 70 microM and increased over fourfold during several minutes of ATP exposure, reaching a maximum after 9.0 min (SD 4.2). The currents were blocked by inhibitors of nucleotide receptors and volume-regulated anion channels (VRAC). Currents showed outward rectification and inactivation at highly depolarizing membrane potentials, characteristics of swelling-activated anion currents. P2X agonists failed to activate the anion current, and an inhibitor of P2X receptors did not block the effect of ATP. Furthermore, current activation was observed with extracellular ADP and 2-(methylthio)adenosine 5'-diphosphate, a P2Y(1) receptor-specific agonist. Much less current activation was observed with extracellular UTP, suggesting the response is mediated predominantly by P2Y(1) receptors. ATP caused a dose-dependent loss of taurine and alanine that could be blocked by inhibitors of VRAC. ATP did not inhibit the taurine uptake transporter. Thus extracellular ATP triggers a loss of intracellular organic osmolytes via activation of anion channels. This mechanism may facilitate neuronal volume homeostasis during cytotoxic edema.

Abstract
P2 receptors have been implicated in the release of neurotransmitter and proinflammatory cytokines by the response to neuroexcitatory substances in astrocytes. In the present study, we examined the mechanisms of ADP and adenosine 5'-O-2-thiodiphosphate (ADPbetaS, ADP analogue) on glutamate release from cultured dorsal spinal cord astrocytes by using confocal laser scanning microscopy and HPLC. Immunofluorescence activity showed that P2Y(1) receptor protein is expressed in cultured astrocytes. ADP and ADPbetaS-induced [Ca(2+)](i) increase and glutamate release are mediated by P2Y(1) receptor. Ca(2+) release from IP(3)-sensitive calcium stores and protein kinase C (PKC) activation is important for glutamate release from astrocytes. Furthermore, P2Y(1) receptor-evoked glutamate release is regulated by volume-sensitive Cl(-) channels and anion co-transporter, which open up the possibility that P2Y(1) receptor activation causes the increase of cell volume. Release of glutamate by ADPbetaS was abolished by 5-nitro-2 (3-phenyl propy lamino)-benzoate plus furosemide but was unaffected by botulinum toxin A. These observations indicate that P2Y(1) receptor-evoked glutamate may be mediated via volume-sensitive Cl(-) channel but not via exocytosis of glutamate containing vesicles. We speculate that P2Y(1) receptors-evoked glutamate efflux, occurring under pathological condition, may modulate the activity of synapses in spinal cord.

Abstract
In this study, we demonstrated the presence and the activity of the P2Y14 receptor in glioma C6 cells. We found that P2Y14 could exist in two forms, highly predominating glycosylated and non-glycosylated. Binding of UDP-glucose evoked two responses: calcium signal and adenylate cyclase inhibition, both pertussis toxin-sensitive. Separate glycosylation pattern and functional profile of these two receptor forms were observed in non-starved and serum-starved cells. During long-term serum deprivation (96 h), the level of glycosylated form strongly decreased, while non-glycosylated increased, what was correlated with the decrease of calcium signaling activity and stronger adenylate cyclase inhibition, suggesting that receptor N-glycosylation may modulate its functional activity.

Abstract
Purinergic signal transduction mechanisms have been appreciated as a complex intercellular signalling network that plays an important regulatory role in both short- and long-term processes in practically every living cell. One of the most intriguing aspects of the field is the participation of ATP and other purine nucleotides in the determination of cell fate and the way they direct cells towards proliferation, differentiation or apoptosis, thereby possibly taking part in promoting or preventing malignant transformation. In this review, following a very brief introduction to the historical aspects of purinergic signalling and a concise overview of the structure of and signal transduction pathways coupled to P2 purinergic receptors, the current theories concerning the possible ways how extracellular ATP can alter the function of tumour cells and the effectiveness of anticancer therapies are discussed, including pharmacological, nutritional, vasoactive and 'anti-antioxidant' actions of the nucleotide. The effects of ATP on animals inoculated with human tumours and on patients with cancer are looked over next, and then an overview of the literature regarding the expression and presumed functions of P2 purinoceptors on tumour cells in vitro is presented, sorted out according to the relevant special clinical fields. The article is closed by reviewing the latest developments in the diagnostic use of P2 purinergic receptors as tumour markers and prognostic factors, while discussing some of the difficulties and pitfalls of the therapeutic use of ATP analogues.

Abstract
We characterized the expression and functional properties of the ADP-sensitive P2Y(1) and P2Y(12) nucleotide receptors in glioma C6 cells cultured in medium devoid of serum for up to 96 h. During this long-term serum starvation, cell morphology changed from fibroblast-like flat to round, the adhesion pattern changed, cell-cycle arrest was induced, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2) phosphorylation was reduced, Akt phosphorylation was enhanced, and expression of the P2Y(12) receptor relative to P2Y(1) was increased. These processes did not reflect differentiation into astrocytes or oligodendrocytes, as expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein and NG2 proteoglycan (standard markers of glial cell differentiation) was not increased during the serum deprivation. Transfer of the cells into fresh medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum reversed the changes. This demonstrates that serum starvation caused only temporary growth arrest of the glioma C6 cells, which were ready for rapid division as soon as the environment became more favorable. In cells starved for 72 and 96 h, expression of the P2Y(1) receptor was low, and the P2Y(12) receptor was the major player, responsible for ADP-evoked signal transduction. The P2Y(12) receptor activated ERK1/2 kinase phosphorylation (a known cell proliferation regulator) and stimulated Akt activity. These effects were reduced by AR-C69931MX, a specific antagonist of the P2Y(12) receptor. On the other hand, Akt phosphorylation increased in parallel with the low expression of the P2Y(1) receptor, indicating the inhibitory role of P2Y(1) in Akt pathway signaling. The shift in nucleotide receptor expression from P2Y(1) to P2Y(12) would appear to be a new and important self-regulating mechanism that promotes cell growth rather than differentiation and is a defense mechanism against effects of serum deprivation.

P2Y(1) and P2Y(12) receptor cross-talk in calcium signalling: Evidence from nonstarved and long-term serum-deprived glioma C6 cells. Purinergic Signal 2007; 3:221-30. [PMID: 18404435 PMCID: PMC2096645 DOI: 10.1007/s11302-007-9051-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2006] [Revised: 12/11/2006] [Accepted: 01/04/2007] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
The current work presents results of experiments on the calcium response evoked by the stimulation by extracellular nucleotides occurring in control, nonstarved glioma C6 cells and in cells after long-term (96 h) serum starvation. Three nucleotide receptors were studied: P2Y1, P2Y2 and P2Y12. Two of them, P2Y1 and P2Y2, directly stimulate calcium response. The protein level of the P2Y2 receptor did not change during the serum starvation, while P2Y1 protein level fell dramatically. Observed changes in the calcium response generated by P2Y1 are directly correlated with the receptor protein level as well as with the amount of calcium present in the intracellular calcium stores, partially depleted during starvation process. The third receptor, P2Y12, did not directly evoke calcium response, however it is activated by the same ligand as P2Y1. The experiments with AR-C69941MX, the P2Y12-specific antagonist, indicated that in control and serum-starved cells, calcium response evoked by P2Y1 receptor is potentiated by the activity of P2Y12-dependent signaling pathways. This potentiation may be mediated by P2Y12 inhibitory effect on the plasma membrane calcium pump. The calcium influx enhanced by the cooperation of P2Y1 and P2Y12 receptor activity directly depends on the capacitative calcium entrance mechanism.
