Abstract
The arterial vasculature can be divided into large conduit arteries, intermediate contractile arteries, resistance arteries, arterioles, and capillaries. Resistance arteries and arterioles primarily function to control systemic blood pressure. The resistance arteries are composed of a layer of endothelial cells oriented parallel to the direction of blood flow, which are separated by a matrix layer termed the internal elastic lamina from several layers of smooth muscle cells oriented perpendicular to the direction of blood flow. Cells within the vessel walls communicate in a homocellular and heterocellular fashion to govern luminal diameter, arterial resistance, and blood pressure. At rest, potassium currents govern the basal state of endothelial and smooth muscle cells. Multiple stimuli can elicit rises in intracellular calcium levels in either endothelial cells or smooth muscle cells, sourced from intracellular stores such as the endoplasmic reticulum or the extracellular space. In general, activation of endothelial cells results in the production of a vasodilatory signal, usually in the form of nitric oxide or endothelial-derived hyperpolarization. Conversely, activation of smooth muscle cells results in a vasoconstriction response through smooth muscle cell contraction. © 2022 American Physiological Society. Compr Physiol 12: 1-35, 2022.

Abstract
Aging has a remarkable effect on cardiovascular homeostasis and it is known as the major non-modifiable risk factor in the development of hypertension. Medications targeting sympathetic nerve system and/or renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system are widely accepted as a powerful therapeutic strategy to improve hypertension, although the control rates remain unsatisfactory especially in the elder patients with hypertension. Purinergic receptors, activated by adenine, uridine nucleotides and nucleotide sugars, play pivotal roles in many biological processes, including platelet aggregation, neurotransmission and hormone release, and regulation of cardiovascular contractility. Since clopidogrel, a selective inhibitor of G protein-coupled purinergic P2Y12 receptor (P2Y12R), achieved clinical success as an anti-platelet drug, P2YRs has been attracted more attention as new therapeutic targets of cardiovascular diseases. We have revealed that UDP-responsive P2Y6R promoted angiotensin type 1 receptor (AT1R)-stimulated vascular remodeling in mice, in an age-dependent manner. Moreover, the age-related formation of heterodimer between AT1R and P2Y6R was disrupted by MRS2578, a P2Y6R-selective inhibitor. These findings suggest that P2Y6R is a therapeutic target to prevent age-related hypertension.

Abstract
The angiotensin (Ang) type 1 receptor (AT1R) promotes functional and structural integrity of the arterial wall to contribute to vascular homeostasis, but this receptor also promotes hypertension. In our investigation of how Ang II signals are converted by the AT1R from physiological to pathological outputs, we found that the purinergic P2Y6 receptor (P2Y6R), an inflammation-inducible G protein (heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide–binding protein)–coupled receptor (GPCR), promoted Ang II–induced hypertension in mice. In mice, deletion of P2Y6R attenuated Ang II–induced increase in blood pressure, vascular remodeling, oxidative stress, and endothelial dysfunction. AT1R and P2Y6R formed stable heterodimers, which enhanced G protein–dependent vascular hypertrophy but reduced β-arrestin–dependent AT1R internalization. Pharmacological disruption of AT1R-P2Y6R heterodimers by the P2Y6R antagonist MRS2578 suppressed Ang II–induced hypertension in mice. Furthermore, P2Y6R abundance increased with age in vascular smooth muscle cells. The increased abundance of P2Y6R converted AT1R-stimulated signaling in vascular smooth muscle cells from β-arrestin–dependent proliferation to G protein–dependent hypertrophy. These results suggest that increased formation of AT1R-P2Y6R heterodimers with age may increase the likelihood of hypertension induced by Ang II.

Abstract
Background and purpose: P2Y receptors evoke Ca2+ signals in vascular smooth muscle cells and regulate contraction and proliferation, but the roles of the different P2Y receptor subtypes are incompletely resolved. Experimental approach: Quantitative PCR was used to define expression of mRNA encoding P2Y receptor subtypes in freshly isolated and cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells (ASMC). Fluorescent indicators in combination with selective ligands were used to measure the changes in cytosolic free [Ca2+] in cultured ASMC evoked by each P2Y receptor subtype. Key results: The mRNA for all rat P2Y receptor subtypes are expressed at various levels in cultured ASMC. Four P2Y receptor subtypes (P2Y1, P2Y2, P2Y4 and P2Y6) evoke Ca2+ signals that require activation of phospholipase C and comprise both release of Ca2+ from stores and Ca2+ entry across the plasma membrane. Conclusions and implications: Combining analysis of P2Y receptor expression with functional analyses using selective agonists and antagonists, we isolated the Ca2+ signals evoked in ASMC by activation of P2Y1, P2Y2, P2Y4 and P2Y6 receptors.

Abstract
We designed a randomized, double blinded, 3-months controlled prospective clinical study to investigate effects of oral uridine on the ocular surface in dry eye patients. Twenty-seven patients who diagnosed as dry eye with lower than 5 mm of wetting in the Schirmer strip, with corneal epithelial erosion and who completely followed-up till 3 months were enrolled. Corneal-conjunctival fluorescein staining, non-anesthetic Schirmer test, impression cytology, and Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) were evaluated in the experimental and placebo groups at the baseline, 1 and 3 months after start of medication in a double blinded manner. Fluorescein stain score of the cornea was markedly decreased in oral uridine group compared to the placebo group at 3 months after medication (P=0.032, Mann-Whitney U test). The Schirmer wetting score for the oral uridine group was significantly increased (P=0.001, Wilcoxon signed rank test) at 3 months and its difference between two groups was statistically significant (P=0.030, Mann-Whitney U test). OSDI scores were significantly decreased at 1 and 3 months in treatment group. Oral uridine is effective in treatment of dry eyes.

Abstract
Since little is known about the role of P2Y receptors (purinoceptors) in duodenal mucosal bicarbonate secretion (DMBS), we sought to investigate the expression and function of these receptors in duodenal epithelium. Expression of P2Y(2) receptors was detected by RT-PCR in mouse duodenal epithelium and SCBN cells, a duodenal epithelial cell line. UTP, a P2Y(2)-receptor agonist, but not ADP (10 microM), significantly induced murine duodenal short-circuit current and DMBS in vitro; these responses were abolished by suramin (300 microM), a P2Y-receptor antagonist, or 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB; 100 microM), a store-operated channel blocker. Mucosal or serosal addition of UTP induced a comparable DMBS in wild-type mice, but markedly impaired response occurred in P2Y(2) knockout mice. Acid-stimulated DMBS in vivo was significantly inhibited by suramin (1 mM) or PPADS (30 microM). Both ATP and UTP, but not ADP (1 microM), raised cytoplasmic-free Ca(2+) concentrations ([Ca(2+)](cyt)) with similar potencies in SCBN cells. ATP-induced [Ca(2+)](cyt) was attenuated by U-73122 (10 microM), La(3+) (30 microM), or 2-APB (10 microM), but was not significantly affected by nifedipine (10 microM). UTP (1 microM) induced a [Ca(2+)](cyt) transient in Ca(2+)-free solutions, and restoration of external Ca(2+) (2 mM) raised [Ca(2+)](cyt) due to capacitative Ca(2+) entry. La(3+) (30 microM), SK&F96365 (30 microM), and 2-APB (10 microM) inhibited UTP-induced Ca(2+) entry by 92, 87, and 94%, respectively. Taken together, our results imply that activation of P2Y(2) receptors enhances DMBS via elevation of [Ca(2+)](cyt) that likely results from an initial increase in intracellular Ca(2+) release followed by extracellular Ca(2+) entry via store-operated channel.

Abstract
The mechanisms by which uridine triphosphate (UTP) stimulates ATP release from Schwann cells cultured from the sciatic nerve were investigated using online bioluminescence techniques. UTP, a P2Y(2) and P2Y(4) receptor agonist, stimulated ATP release from Schwann cells in a dose-dependent manner with an ED(50) of 0.24 microm. UTP-stimulated ATP release occurs through P2Y(2) receptors as it was blocked by suramin which inhibits P2Y(2) but not P2Y(4) receptors. Furthermore, positive immunostaining of P2Y(2) receptors on Schwann cells was revealed and GTP, an equipotent agonist with UTP at rat P2Y(4) receptors, did not significantly stimulate ATP release. UTP-stimulated ATP release involved second messenger pathways as it was attenuated by the phospholipase C inhibitor U73122, the protein kinase C inhibitor chelerytherine chloride, the IP(3) formation inhibitor lithium chloride, the cell membrane-permeable Ca(2+) chelator BAPTA-AM and the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-dependent ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin. Evidence that ATP may be stored in vesicles that must be transported to the cell membrane for exocytosis was found as release was significantly reduced by the Golgi-complex inhibitor brefeldin A, microtubule disruption with nocodazole, F-actin disruption with cytochalasin D and the specific exocytosis inhibitor botulinum toxin A. ATP release from Schwann cells also involves anion transport as it was significantly reduced by cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator inhibitor glibencamide and anion transporter inhibitor furosemide. We suggest that UTP-stimulated ATP release is mediated by activation of P2Y(2) receptors that initiate an IP(3)-Ca(2+) cascade and protein kinase C which promote exocytosis of ATP from vesicles as well as anion transport of ATP across the cell membrane.

Abstract
Cell death was assessed by quantitative analysis of propidium iodide uptake in rat hippocampal slice cultures transiently exposed to oxygen and glucose deprivation, an in vitro model of brain ischemia. The hippocampal subfields CA1 and CA3, and fascia dentata were analyzed at different stages from 0 to 48 h after the insult. Cell death appeared at 3 h and increased steeply toward 12 h. Only a slight additional increase in propidium iodide uptake was seen at later intervals. The mitogen-activated protein kinases extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2 were activated immediately after oxygen and glucose deprivation both in CA1 and in CA3/fascia dentata. Inhibition of the specific mitogen-activated protein kinase activator mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase by PD98059 or U0126 offered partial protection against oxygen and glucose deprivation-induced cell damage. The non-selective P2X receptor antagonist suramin gave neuroprotection of the same magnitude as the N-methyl-D-aspartate channel blocker MK-801 (approximately 70%). Neuroprotection was also observed with the P2 receptor blocker PPADS. Immunogold data indicated that hippocampal slice cultures (like intact hippocampi) express several isoforms of P2X receptors at the synaptic level, consistent with the idea that the effects of suramin and PPADS are mediated by P2X receptors. Virtually complete neuroprotection was obtained by combined blockade of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors, P2X receptors, and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase. Both P2X receptors and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors mediate influx of calcium. Our results suggest that inhibition of P2X receptors has a neuroprotective potential similar to that of inhibition of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors. In contrast, our comparative analysis shows that only partial protection can be achieved by inhibiting the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade, one of the downstream pathways activated by intracellular calcium overload.

Abstract
The effect of extracellular ATP (10-100 microM) on intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and firing rate has been studied in single pacemaker cells isolated from the sinus venosus of cane toads. In spontaneously firing cells, ATP initially increased peak [Ca2+]i by 43 +/- 5 %, increased diastolic [Ca2+]i by 20 + 3 % and increased the firing rate by 58 +/- 8 %. These early effects were followed by a late phase in which both the peak [Ca2+]i and the firing rate declined. Adenosine, and UTP (respectively, P1- and P2Y2,4,6-selective agonists) caused no significant change in [Ca2+]i or firing rate, while alphabeta-methylene ATP (a P2X1,3 agonist) caused a small increase in firing rate but no changes in [Ca2+]i. In contrast the P2Y1-selective agonist 2-MesADP (1 microM) mimicked the biphasic effects of ATP and these effects were inhibited by the purinoceptor antagonists suramin and PPADS and by the P2Y1-selective antagonist MRS 2179. Immunohistochemistry established that P2Y1 purinoceptors were present on the cell surface. Western blotting analysis demonstrated that the P2Y1 antibody recognised a 57 kDa protein. After sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release was prevented with caffeine or ryanodine, ATP no longer had any effect on [Ca2+]i or firing rate. Furthermore, the SR Ca2+ store content was decreased during the late phase of 2-MesADP application. The effect of ATP was coupled to phospholipase C (PLC) activity because the PLC inhibitor U-73122 eliminated the effects of ATP. Our study shows that in toad pacemaker cells, the biphasic effects of ATP on pacemaker activity are mainly through P2Y1 purinoceptors, which are able to modulate Ca2+ release from the SR Ca2+ store.

Abstract
P2Y2 receptor agonists, like UTP and ATP, stimulate mucin secretion from goblet cells in vitro. Therefore, mucin stimulants could be good candidates for the treatment of dry eye syndrome because mucin increases the tear film stability and protects against desiccation of ocular surface. INS365 is a more stable P2Y2 receptor agonist than UTP. In the present study, we evaluated, in normal rabbit eyes, its effectiveness to release mucin from goblet cells and to protect the corneal damage induced by desiccation. For mucin secretion, impression cytology was performed following the instillation of INS365 solution or saline into the conjunctival sac. The specimens were stained with periodic acid and Schiff (PAS) reagent, and then the staining area was calculated using computer software. INS365 dose-dependently decreased the PAS staining area of conjunctival goblet cells from 2 to 15 min post-application. Furthermore, we utilized the rabbit short-term dry eye model to evaluate if INS365 eyedrops could protect against any of the damage produced by blockage of blinking with ocular speculum. INS365 significantly suppressed corneal damage at concentrations of more than 0.1% w/v. These results suggest that this P2Y2 agonist is a good candidate for the treatment of dry eye disease.

Abstract
Our lab has previously demonstrated that organ cultured coronary smooth muscle cells express a nucleotide receptor that is dramatically more responsive to UTP than non-organ cultured cells. Thus, the purpose of this study was to pharmacologically characterize this UTP-sensitive nucleotide receptor. Porcine coronary arteries were organ cultured (serum-free media, 37 degrees C) for 4 days, and fura-2 imaging of single cells was used to measure myoplasmic Ca2+ (Cam) in response to several nucleotide agonists. A concentration-response relationship (0.01-100 microM) was generated to the nucleotide receptor agonists, UTP, UDP, ATP, ADP, and 2-MeSATP. The potency order was UTP >> UDP = ATP = ADP = 2-MeSATP, thus, this nucleotide receptor is predominantly UTP-sensitive. The Cam response to 10 microM UTP was attenuated approximately 50% by the nucleotide receptor antagonists (10 and 100 microM), suramin, reactive blue 2, and pyridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulphonoic acid (PPADS). Depletion of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ store with thapsigargin completely abolished the UTP-induced Cam response. In addition, the peak UTP-induced Cam increase was almost two-fold higher in a 2-mM Ca2+ solution than a 0-mM Ca2+ solution. This suggests that the UTP-induced Cam response is comprised of both Ca2+ influx and the mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ stores. Pertussis toxin reduced the UTP-induced Cam response 50%, thus, the UTP-induced increase in Cam is mediated, in part, via Gi/o. These data suggest this UTP-sensitive receptor belongs to the P2Y nucleotide receptor family; however, it does not possess pharmacological characteristics associated with any known P2Y receptor subtype.

Abstract
The endogenous mechanisms modulating ATP-induced dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) were studied by microdialysis in freely moving rats. The ATP analog 2-Methylthio ATP (2-MeSATP) facilitated the release of dopamine in a manner sensitive to pertussis toxin and tetrodotoxin. It is suggested that G-protein-coupled P2Y receptors and voltage-gated sodium channels are involved in this process. N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) applied in a concentration of 100 microM decreased the extracellular dopamine level, whereas 1 and 10 mM NMDA enhanced it. The endogenous agonist glutamate (10 microM) inhibited the basal and facilitated release of dopamine. Infusion with a combination of the ionotropic glutamate receptor antagonists (+/-)-3-(2-carboxypiperazin-4-yl)-propyl-1-phosphonic acid (CPP) and 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (CNQX), as well as with the metabotropic glutamate receptor antagonist (+/-)-alpha-methyl-4-carboxyphenylglycine (MCPG) increased the basal level of dopamine and potentiated the 2-MeSATP-facilitated dopamine release, suggesting an ATP-mediated glutamate release. The GABA(A) receptor antagonist bicuculline infused into the NAc also enhanced the basal level of dopamine; however, the application of 2-MeSATP in the presence of bicuculline caused an early decrease and a subsequent increase of dopamine release. The facilitatory phase of the 2-MeSATP effect was comparable with that measured in the absence of bicuculline. By contrast, when bicuculline was infused into the ventral tegmental area (VTA) it elevated the accumbal basal dopamine level and in addition facilitated the 2-MeSATP- and the glutamate-induced dopamine release above that measured in the absence of bicuculline. These results suggest that ATP in the NAc has a physiologically relevant function in modulating dopaminergic transmission depending on the mesolimbic neuronal activity. The first component of the ATP effect involves a direct stimulation of the terminals of VTA neurons, while the second inhibitory component involves a sequential activation of glutamate and, finally, via ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors, of GABA neurons projecting to the VTA.
