Receptor-specific Ca 2+ oscillation patterns mediated by differential regulation of P2Y purinergic receptors in rat hepatocytes. iScience 2021; 24:103139. [PMID: 34646983 PMCID: PMC8496176 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2021.103139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2021] [Revised: 07/26/2021] [Accepted: 09/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Extracellular agonists linked to inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) formation elicit cytosolic Ca2+ oscillations in many cell types, but despite a common signaling pathway, distinct agonist-specific Ca2+ spike patterns are observed. Using qPCR, we show that rat hepatocytes express multiple purinergic P2Y and P2X receptors (R). ADP acting through P2Y1R elicits narrow Ca2+ oscillations, whereas UTP acting through P2Y2R elicits broad Ca2+ oscillations, with composite patterns observed for ATP. P2XRs do not play a role at physiological agonist levels. The discrete Ca2+ signatures reflect differential effects of protein kinase C (PKC), which selectively modifies the falling phase of the Ca2+ spikes. Negative feedback by PKC limits the duration of P2Y1R-induced Ca2+ spikes in a manner that requires extracellular Ca2+. By contrast, P2Y2R is resistant to PKC negative feedback. Thus, the PKC leg of the bifurcated IP3 signaling pathway shapes unique Ca2+ oscillation patterns that allows for distinct cellular responses to different agonists. Distinct stereotypic Ca2+ oscillations are elicited by P2Y1 and P2Y2 receptors P2X receptors do not contribute to the generation of Ca2+ oscillations Agonist-specific Ca2+ spike shapes reflect discrete modes of PKC negative feedback Bifurcation of IP3/PKC signaling yields unique Ca2+ oscillation signatures

Abstract
Hyperglycemia is associated with abnormal plasma lipoprotein metabolism and with an elevation in circulating nucleotide levels. We evaluated how extracellular nucleotides may act to perturb hepatic lipoprotein secretion. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) (>10 µM) acts like a proteasomal inhibitor to stimulate apoB100 secretion and inhibit apoA-I secretion from human liver cells at 4 h and 24 h. ADP blocks apoA-I secretion by stimulating autophagy. The nucleotide increases cellular levels of the autophagosome marker, LC3-II, and increases co-localization of LC3 with apoA-I in punctate autophagosomes. ADP affects autophagy and apoA-I secretion through P2Y13. Overexpression of P2Y13 increases cellular LC3-II levels by ∼50% and blocks induction of apoA-I secretion. Conversely, a siRNA-induced reduction in P2Y13 protein expression of 50% causes a similar reduction in cellular LC3-II levels and a 3-fold stimulation in apoA-I secretion. P2Y13 gene silencing blocks the effects of ADP on autophagy and apoA-I secretion. A reduction in P2Y13 expression suppresses ERK1/2 phosphorylation, increases the phosphorylation of IR-β and protein kinase B (Akt) >3-fold, and blocks the inhibition of Akt phosphorylation by TNFα and ADP. Conversely, increasing P2Y13 expression significantly inhibits insulin-induced phosphorylation of insulin receptor (IR-β) and Akt, similar to that observed after treatment with ADP. Nucleotides therefore act through P2Y13, ERK1/2 and insulin receptor signaling to stimulate autophagy and affect hepatic lipoprotein secretion.

Abstract
Agonist-induced internalisation of receptors may lead to the formation of signalling endosomes. There is little evidence relating to whether this occurs to native receptors in non-transformed cells, and no previous studies asking whether this endosomal signalling can promote cell cycle progression in non-transformed cells. We investigated the hypothesis that in primary hepatocytes clathrin-dependent epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced internalisation of the EGF receptor leads to signalling from endosomal EGF-EGF receptor complexes which may support EGF-stimulated cell cycle progression. We used EGF-stimulation of rat hepatocytes followed by confocal microscopy, and Western blots for phosphoproteins. [(3)H]thymidine incorporation into DNA was used as a indicator of progression to S-phase. Confocal microscopy demonstrated co-internalisation of EGF, EGF receptors and transferrin into endosomes. Internalisation of EGF/EGF receptor/transferrin was blocked by expression of dominant-negative dynamin, but not by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor AG 1478. Dominant-negative dynamin expression reduced EGF-stimulated extracellular signal-related kinase and Akt signalling, but increased tyrosine phosphorylated EGF receptor. EGF-stimulated cell cycle progression requires stimulation of EGF receptors during an initial period (e.g. 1h) and also later during a 24h incubation. EGF receptor internalisation in the presence of AG 1478 followed by removal of the inhibitor resulted in signalling from internalised EGF receptors that is sufficient for the initial stimulation to provide progression to S-phase of the cell cycle. These observations on hepatocytes characterise, for the first time in non-transformed cells, endosomal signalling from internalised EGF receptors, and provide evidence that this endosomal signalling may support the early phase of EGF-stimulated cell cycle progression.

Abstract
Eukaryotic plasma membranes assemble actin filaments within seconds of activation of many receptors, especially during chemotaxis. Here, serum or sphingosine-1-phosphate stimulation of J774 and RAW macrophages released ADP within seconds into the extracellular medium, along with an adenylate kinase activity that converted ADP to ATP. ATP then activated the P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) that was necessary for a peak of plasma-membrane actin assembly within 5 to 10 seconds in P2X7R-expressing J774, RAW and primary macrophages. Neither actin assembly nor characteristic P2X7R channel activity was seen in response to ATP in P2X7R-knockout macrophages, as detected by patch-clamp analysis. Since P2X7R has been shown previously to form a macromolecular complex with actin we propose that it is involved in the membrane assembly of actin. Our data reveal a surprisingly rapid and complex relay of signaling and externalization events that precede and control actin assembly induced by sphingosine-1-phosphate. The overall model we present is strongly supported by the data presented in the accompanying paper that focuses on latex bead phagosomes.

Abstract
The involvement of extracellular nucleotides and adenosine in an array of cell-specific responses has long been known and appreciated, but the integrative view of purinergic signalling as a multistep coordinated cascade has emerged recently. Current models of nucleotide turnover include: (i) transient release of nanomolar concentrations of ATP and ADP; (ii) triggering of signalling events via a series of ligand-gated (P2X) and metabotropic (P2Y) receptors; (iii) nucleotide breakdown by membrane-bound and soluble nucleotidases, including the enzymes of ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase (E-NTPDase) family, ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase (E-NPP) family, ecto-5'-nucleotidase/CD73, and alkaline phosphatases; (iv) interaction of the resulting adenosine with own nucleoside-selective receptors; and finally, (v) extracellular adenosine inactivation via adenosine deaminase and purine nucleoside phosphorylase reactions and/or nucleoside uptake by the cells. In contrast to traditional paradigms that focus on purine-inactivating mechanisms, it has now become clear that "classical" intracellular ATP-regenerating enzymes, adenylate kinase, nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinase and ATP synthase can also be co-expressed on the cell surface. Furthermore, data on the ability of various cells to retain micromolar ATP levels in their pericellular space, as well as to release other related compounds (adenosine, UTP, dinucleotide polyphosphates and nucleotide sugars) gain another important insight into our understanding of mechanisms regulating a signalling cascade. This review summarizes recent advances in this rapidly evolving field, with particular emphasis on the nucleotide-releasing and purine-converting pathways in the vasculature.

Abstract
Extracellular nucleotides (e.g. ATP, UTP, ADP) are released by activated endothelium, leukocytes and platelets within the injured vasculature and bind specific cell-surface type-2 purinergic (P2) receptors. This process drives vascular inflammation and thrombosis within grafted organs. Importantly, there are also vascular ectonucleotidases i.e. ectoenzymes that hydrolyze extracellular nucleotides in the blood to generate nucleosides (viz. adenosine). Endothelial cell NTPDase1/CD39 has been shown to critically modulate levels of circulating nucleotides. This process tends to limit the activation of platelet and leukocyte expressed P2 receptors and also generates adenosine to reverse inflammatory events. This vascular protective CD39 activity is rapidly inhibited by oxidative reactions, such as is observed with liver ischemia reperfusion injury. In this review, we chiefly address the impact of these signaling cascades following liver transplantation. Interestingly, the hepatic vasculature, hepatocytes and all non-parenchymal cell types express several components co-ordinating the purinergic signaling response. With hepatic and vascular dysfunction, we note heightened P2- expression and alterations in ectonucleotidase expression and function that may predispose to progression of disease. In addition to documented impacts upon the vasculature during engraftment, extracellular nucleotides also have direct influences upon liver function and bile flow (both under physiological and pathological states). We have recently shown that alterations in purinergic signaling mediated by altered CD39 expression have major impacts upon hepatic metabolism, repair mechanisms, regeneration and associated immune responses. Future clinical applications in transplantation might involve new therapeutic modalities using soluble recombinant forms of CD39, altering expression of this ectonucleotidase by drugs and/or using small molecules to inhibit deleterious P2-mediated signaling while augmenting beneficial adenosine-mediated effects within the transplanted liver.

Abstract
We have previously provided evidence suggesting that phosphatidic acid, possibly derived from the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine by phospholipase D (PLD), is involved in platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-mediated increases in extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activity and DNA synthesis in rat hepatic stellate cells (HSC), the primary fibrogenic cells of the liver. A recent study has shown the presence of P2Y nucleotide receptors on HSC that are coupled to contraction and synthesis of the matrix component, alpha1-procollagen, leading to the suggestion that they may represent a new therapeutic target in the treatment of liver fibrosis. However, although extracellular nucleotides have been shown to stimulate both PLD and ERK, and to elicit proliferation of fibrogenic cells outside the liver, their effect on these parameters in HSC have not yet been investigated. PLD activity was determined by [3H]choline release and [3H]phosphatidylbutanol production, ERK activity by Western blotting, and DNA synthesis by [3H]thymidine incorporation. We report here, for the first time in HSC, that extracellular nucleotides stimulate PLD activity and a sustained activation of ERK. However, in contrast to PDGF, nucleotides had negligible effects on DNA synthesis. Moreover, the effects of PDGF and nucleotides on PLD and ERK were not additive, suggesting activation of the same PLD isoform and pool of ERK. The data demonstrate that nucleotide-stimulated PLD and ERK activities are not coupled to DNA synthesis in HSC. Instead, these responses may be linked to other phenotypic changes associated with activated HSC such as increases in contraction, motility, or extracellular matrix deposition.

Abstract
Formation of ATP from ADP on the external surface of vascular endothelial cells has been attributed to plasma membrane ATP synthase, ectoadenylate kinase (ecto-AK), and/or ectonucleoside diphosphokinase. These enzymes or their catalytic products have been causatively linked to the elaboration of vascular networks and the regulation of capillary function. The amount of ATP generated extracellularly is small, requiring sensitive analytical methods for quantification. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were used to revisit extracellular ATP synthesis using a reliable tetrazolium reduction assay and multiwell plate cultures. Test conditions compatible with AK stability were established. Extracellular AK activity was found to be <1% of the total (intracellular and extracellular), raising the possibility that the external enzyme could have leaked from living cells and/or a few dying cells. To determine whether AK inadvertently leaked from the cells, the activity of another cytoplasmic enzyme, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), was also measured. G6PD is present in the cytoplasm in similar abundance to AK. The activity ratio of G6PD (extracellular/total) was found to be similar to that of AK. Because G6PD in the medium was probably due to leakage, other cytoplasmic macromolecules, including AK, should be released proportionately from the cells. The role of plasma membrane ATP synthase in extracellular ATP formation was examined using Hanks' balanced salt solution with and without selective inhibitors of AK and ATP synthase activities. With P(1),P(5)-di(adenosine 5')-pentaphosphate (inhibitor of AK activity), no extracellular ATP synthesis was detected, whereas with oligomycin, piceatannol, and aurovertin (inhibitors of F(1)F(0)-ATP synthase and F(1)-ATPase activities), no inhibition of extracellular ATP synthesis was observed. AK activity alone could account for the observed extracellular ATP synthesis. The possible impact of ADP impurity in the assays is discussed.

Abstract
Nucleotide activation of P2 receptors is important in autocrine and paracrine regulation in many tissues. In the epidermis, nucleotides are involved in proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. In this study, we have used a combination of luciferin-luciferase luminometry, pharmacological inhibitors, and confocal microscopy to demonstrate that HaCaT keratinocytes release ATP into the culture medium, and that there are three mechanisms for nucleotide interconversion, resulting in ATP generation at the cell surface. Addition of ADP, GTP, or UTP to culture medium elevated the ATP concentration. ADP to ATP conversion was inhibited by diadenosine pentaphosphate, oligomycin, and UDP, suggesting the involvement of cell surface adenylate kinase, F(1)F(0) ATP synthase, and nucleoside diphosphokinase (NDPK), respectively, which was supported by immunohistochemistry. Simultaneous addition of ADP and GTP elevated ATP above that for each nucleotide alone indicating that GTP acts as a phosphate donor. However, the activity of NDPK, F(1)F(0) ATP synthase or the forward reaction of adenylate kinase could not fully account for the culture medium ATP content. We postulate that this discrepancy is due to the reverse reaction of adenylate kinase utilizing AMP. In normal human skin, F(1)F(0) ATP synthase and NDPK were differentially localized, with mitochondrial expression in the basal layer, and cell surface expression in the differentiated layers. We and others have previously demonstrated that keratinocytes express multiple P2 receptors. In this study we now identify the potential sources of extracellular ATP required to activate these receptors and provide better understanding of the role of nucleotides in normal epidermal homeostasis and wound healing.

Abstract
In the rat both short-term liver function, such as glycogen metabolism, and long-term events such as proliferation after partial hepatectomy, are in part controlled by release of nucleotides such as ATP acting on hepatocyte P2Y(1) and P2Y(2) receptors (members of a family of P2Y receptors for extracellular nucleotides such as ATP and UTP). Here, we have studied P2Y receptor regulation of signaling pathways involved in glycogen phosphorylase activation and proliferation of primary human hepatocytes. Stimulation of cultured hepatocytes with either ATP and UTP, but not UDP or 2-methylthio ADP, led to concentration-dependent increases in cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](c); EC(50) for ATP = 3.3 microM, for UTP = 2.3 microM) and [(3)H]inositol (poly)phosphates (EC(50) for ATP = 9.4 microM, for UTP = 15.4 microM). ATP and UTP also stimulated glycogen phosphorylase in human hepatocytes, each with a threshold for activation of less than 1 microM. Application of 2-methylthio ADP up to 100 microM was ineffective. Phosphorylation of both extracellular signal-related kinase and c-Jun N-terminal kinase was stimulated by ATP and UTP, but not by 2-methylthio ADP or UDP, either alone or when costimulated with epidermal growth factor. In conclusion, in human hepatocytes P2Y receptors control both glycogen metabolism and proliferation-associated responses such as increased [Ca(2+)](c) and mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades. Regulation seems to be primarily through P2Y(2) receptors. In contrast with previous studies on rat hepatocytes, there is an absence of responses mediated by P2Y(1) receptors.

Abstract
Hepatocyte function is regulated by several P2Y receptor subtypes. Here we report that 2-methylthioadenosine 5'-diphosphate (2-MeSADP), an agonist at P2Y(1), P2Y(12), and P2Y(13) receptors, potently (threshold 30 nM) stimulates glycogen phosphorylase in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes. Antagonism by N(6)-methyl 2'-deoxyadenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate (MRS 2179) confirms that this response is mediated by P2Y(1) receptors. In addition, in these cells, both 2-MeSADP and UTP inhibited glucagon-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation. This inhibitory effect of 2-MeSADP was not reversed by the P2Y(1) antagonists, adenosine-3'-phosphate-5'-phosphate (A3P5P) or MRS 2179, both in the range 1 to 300 microM, indicating that it was not mediated by P2Y(1) receptors. This contrasts with the increase in cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](c)) induced by 2-MeSADP, which has shown to be inhibited by A3P5P. Pertussis toxin abolished the inhibitory effect of both UTP and 2-MeSADP. After culture of cells for 48 h, the ability of 2-MeSADP to inhibit cyclic AMP accumulation was greatly diminished. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that during this culture period, there was a decline in the ability to detect transcripts for P2Y(12) and P2Y(13) receptors, both of which are activated by 2-MeSADP and negatively coupled to adenylyl cyclase. However, in freshly isolated cells, the P2Y(12) and P2Y(13) receptor antagonist, 2-propylthio-beta,gamma-dichloromethylene-d-ATP (AR-C67085) (10 nM to 300 microM) did not alter the ability of 2-MeSADP to inhibit glucagon-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation. We conclude that 2-MeSADP regulates rat hepatocyte glycogen phosphorylase by acting on P2Y(1) receptors coupled to raised [Ca(2+)](c), and by inhibiting cyclic AMP levels by an unknown G(i)-coupled receptor subtype, distinct from P2Y(1), P2Y(12), or P2Y(13) receptors.

Abstract
The study was aimed to investigate the existence of at least two kinds of P2Y receptors linked to steroidogenesis in bovine adrenocortical fasciculata cells (BAFCs). Extracellular nucleotides facilitated steroidogenesis in BAFCs. The potency order was UTP > adenosine 5'-(gamma-thio) triphosphate (ATPgammaS) > ATP > 2-methylthio ATP (2MeSATP) > adenosine 5'-(beta-thio) diphosphate (ADPbetaS) > alpha,beta-methylene ATP (alpha,beta-me-ATP), beta,gamma-methylene ATP (beta,gamma -me-ATP). ATPgammaS (10-100 microM) remarkably stimulated both total inositol phosphates (IPs) production and cyclic AMP (cAMP) accumulation. Competitive displacement experiments by using [35S]ATPgammaS as a radioactive ligand in BAFCs showed that the potency under these unlabelled ligands was ATPgammaS > ATP > ADPbetaS > 2MeSATP > UTP > alpha,beta-me-ATP, beta,gamma-me-ATP. These suggest that two different binding sites of [35S]ATPgammaS, namely P2Y receptors, exist in BAFCs, and that these receptors are linked to steroidogenesis via distinct second messenger systems in the cells.

Abstract
This review is aimed at providing readers with a comprehensive reference article about the distribution and function of P2 receptors in all the organs, tissues, and cells in the body. Each section provides an account of the early history of purinergic signaling in the organ?cell up to 1994, then summarizes subsequent evidence for the presence of P2X and P2Y receptor subtype mRNA and proteins as well as functional data, all fully referenced. A section is included describing the plasticity of expression of P2 receptors during development and aging as well as in various pathophysiological conditions. Finally, there is some discussion of possible future developments in the purinergic signaling field.
