Abstract
Autocrine and paracrine signaling in the kidney adds an extra level of diversity and complexity to renal physiology. The extensive scientific production on the topic precludes easy understanding of the fundamental purpose of the vast number of molecules and systems that influence the renal function. This systematic review provides the broader pen strokes for a collected image of renal paracrine signaling. First, we recapitulate the essence of each paracrine system one by one. Thereafter the single components are merged into an overarching physiological concept. The presented survey shows that despite the diversity in the web of paracrine factors, the collected effect on renal function may not be complicated after all. In essence, paracrine activation provides an intelligent system that perceives minor perturbations and reacts with a coordinated and integrated tissue response that relieves the work load from the renal epithelia and favors diuresis and natriuresis. We suggest that the overall function of paracrine signaling is reno-protection and argue that renal paracrine signaling and self-regulation are two sides of the same coin. Thus local paracrine signaling is an intrinsic function of the kidney, and the overall renal effect of changes in blood pressure, volume load, and systemic hormones will always be tinted by its paracrine status.

Abstract
The involvement of purinergic signalling in kidney physiology and pathophysiology is rapidly gaining recognition and this is a comprehensive review of early and recent publications in the field. Purinergic signalling involvement is described in several important intrarenal regulatory mechanisms, including tuboglomerular feedback, the autoregulatory response of the glomerular and extraglomerular microcirculation and the control of renin release. Furthermore, purinergic signalling influences water and electrolyte transport in all segments of the renal tubule. Reports about purine- and pyrimidine-mediated actions in diseases of the kidney, including polycystic kidney disease, nephritis, diabetes, hypertension and nephrotoxicant injury are covered and possible purinergic therapeutic strategies discussed.

Abstract
Colonic chloride secretion is regulated via the neurohormonal and immune systems. Exogenous chemicals (e.g., butyrate, propionate) can affect chloride secretion. Capsaicin, the pungent ingredient of the chili peppers, exerts various effects on gastrointestinal function. Capsaicin is known to activate the transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1), expressed in the mesenteric nervous system. Recent studies have also demonstrated its presence in epithelial cells but its role remains uncertain. Because capsaicin has been reported to inhibit colonic chloride secretion, we tested whether this effect of capsaicin could occur by direct action on epithelial cells. In mouse colon and model T84 human colonic epithelial cells, we found that capsaicin inhibited forskolin-dependent short-circuit current (FSK-I(sc)). Using PCR and Western blot, we demonstrated the presence of TRPV1 in colonic epithelial cells. In T84 cells, TRPV1 localized at the basolateral membrane and in vesicular compartments. In permeabilized monolayers, capsaicin activated apical chloride conductance, had no effect on basolateral potassium conductance, but induced NKCC1 internalization demonstrated by immunocytochemistry and basolateral surface biotinylation. AMG-9810, a potent inhibitor of TRPV1, did not prevent the inhibition of the FSK-I(sc) by capsaicin. Neither resiniferatoxin nor N-oleoyldopamine, two selective agonists of TRPV1, blocked the FSK-I(sc). Conversely capsaicin, resiniferatoxin, and N-oleoyldopamine raised intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) in T84 cells and AMG-9810 blocked the rise in [Ca(2+)](i) induced by capsaicin and resiniferatoxin suggesting the presence of a functional TRPV1 channel. We conclude that capsaicin inhibits chloride secretion in part by causing NKCC1 internalization, but by a mechanism that appears to be independent of TRPV1.

Abstract
Although previous studies have provided evidence for the expression of P2X receptors in renal proximal tubule, only one cell line study has provided functional evidence. The current study investigated the pharmacological properties and physiological role of native P2X-like currents in single frog proximal tubule cells using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. Extracellular ATP activated a cation conductance (P2Xf) that was also Ca2+-permeable. The agonist sequence for activation was ATP = αβ-MeATP > BzATP = 2-MeSATP, and P2Xf was inhibited by suramin, PPADS and TNP-ATP. Activation of P2Xf attenuated the rundown of a quinidine-sensitive K+ conductance, suggesting that P2Xf plays a role in K+ channel regulation. In addition, ATP/ADP apyrase and inhibitors of P2Xf inhibited regulatory volume decrease (RVD). These data are consistent with the presence of a P2X receptor that plays a role in the regulation of cell volume and K+ channels in frog renal proximal tubule cells.

Abstract
HKC-8 cells are a human-derived renal proximal tubular cell line and provide a useful model system for the study of human renal cell function. In this study, we aimed to determine [Ca(2+)](i) signalling mediated by P2 receptor in HKC-8. Fura-2 and a ratio imaging method were employed to measure [Ca(2+)](i) in HKC-8 cells. Our results showed that activation of P2Y receptors by ATP induced a rise in [Ca(2+)](i) that was dependent on an intracellular source of Ca(2+), while prolonged activation of P2Y receptors induced a rise in [Ca(2+)](i) that was dependent on intra- and extracellular sources of Ca(2+). Pharmacological and molecular data in this study suggests that TRPC4 channels mediate Ca(2+) entry in coupling to activation of P2Y in HKC-8 cells. U73221, an inhibitor of PI-PLC, did not inhibit the initial ATP-induced response; whereas D609, an inhibitor of PC-PLC, caused a significant decrease in the initial ATP-induced response, suggesting that P2Y receptors are coupled to PC-PLC. Although P2X were present in HKC-8, The P2X agonist, alpha,beta me-ATP, failed to cause a rise in [Ca(2+)](i). However, PPADS at a concentration of 100 microM inhibits the ATP-induced rise in [Ca(2+)](i). Our results indicate the presence of functional P2Y receptors in HKC-8 cells. ATP-induced [Ca(2+)](i) elevation via P2Y is tightly associated with PC-PLC and TRP channel.

Abstract
Purines appear to be the most primitive and widespread chemical messengers in the animal and plant kingdoms. The evidence for purinergic signalling in plants, invertebrates and lower vertebrates is reviewed. Much is based on pharmacological studies, but important recent studies have utilized the techniques of molecular biology and receptors have been cloned and characterized in primitive invertebrates, including the social amoeba Dictyostelium and the platyhelminth Schistosoma, as well as the green algae Ostreococcus, which resemble P2X receptors identified in mammals. This suggests that contrary to earlier speculations, P2X ion channel receptors appeared early in evolution, while G protein-coupled P1 and P2Y receptors were introduced either at the same time or perhaps even later. The absence of gene coding for P2X receptors in some animal groups [e.g. in some insects, roundworms (Caenorhabditis elegans) and the plant Arabidopsis] in contrast to the potent pharmacological actions of nucleotides in the same species, suggests that novel receptors are still to be discovered.

Abstract
A range of P2 receptor subtypes has been identified along the renal tubule, in both apical and basolateral membranes. Furthermore, it has been shown that nucleotides are released from renal tubular cells, and that ectonucleotidases are present in several nephron segments. These findings suggest an autocrine/paracrine role for nucleotides in regulating tubular function. The present review catalogues the known actions of extracellular nucleotides on tubular solute transport. In the proximal tubule, there is firm evidence that stimulation of apical P2Y(1) receptors inhibits bicarbonate reabsorption, whilst basolaterally applied ATP has the opposite effect. Clearance studies suggest that systemic diadenosine polyphosphates profoundly reduce proximal tubular fluid transport, through as yet unidentified P2 receptors. To date, only circumstantial evidence is available for an action of nucleotides on transport in the loop of Henle; and no studies have been made on native distal tubules, though observations in cell lines suggest an inhibitory effect on sodium, calcium and magnesium transport. The nephron segment most studied is the collecting duct. Apically applied nucleotides inhibit the activity of small-conductance K(+) channels in mouse collecting duct, apparently through stimulation of P2Y(2) receptors. There is also evidence, from cell lines and native tissue, that apically (and in some cases basolaterally) applied nucleotides inhibit sodium reabsorption. In mice pharmacological profiling implicates P2Y(2) receptors; but in rats, the receptor subtype(s) responsible is/are unclear. Recent patch-clamp studies in rat collecting ducts implicate apical P2Y and P2X subtypes, with evidence for both inhibitory and stimulatory effects. Despite considerable progress, clarification of the physiological role of the tubular P2 receptor system remains some way off.

Abstract
This review is focused on purinergic neurotransmission, i.e., ATP released from nerves as a transmitter or cotransmitter to act as an extracellular signaling molecule on both pre- and postjunctional membranes at neuroeffector junctions and synapses, as well as acting as a trophic factor during development and regeneration. Emphasis is placed on the physiology and pathophysiology of ATP, but extracellular roles of its breakdown product, adenosine, are also considered because of their intimate interactions. The early history of the involvement of ATP in autonomic and skeletal neuromuscular transmission and in activities in the central nervous system and ganglia is reviewed. Brief background information is given about the identification of receptor subtypes for purines and pyrimidines and about ATP storage, release, and ectoenzymatic breakdown. Evidence that ATP is a cotransmitter in most, if not all, peripheral and central neurons is presented, as well as full accounts of neurotransmission and neuromodulation in autonomic and sensory ganglia and in the brain and spinal cord. There is coverage of neuron-glia interactions and of purinergic neuroeffector transmission to nonmuscular cells. To establish the primitive and widespread nature of purinergic neurotransmission, both the ontogeny and phylogeny of purinergic signaling are considered. Finally, the pathophysiology of purinergic neurotransmission in both peripheral and central nervous systems is reviewed, and speculations are made about future developments.

Abstract
The renal proximal tubule is responsible for most of the renal sodium, chloride, and bicarbonate reabsorption. Micropuncture studies and electrophysiological techniques have furnished the bulk of our knowledge about the physiology of this tubular segment. As a consequence of the leakiness of this epithelium, paracellular ionic transport--in particular that of Cl(-)--is of considerable importance in this first part of the nephron. It was long accepted that proximal Cl(-) reabsorption proceeds solely paracellularly, but it is now known that transcellular Cl(-) transport also exists. Cl(-) channels and Cl(-)-coupled transporters are involved in transcellular Cl(-) transport. In the apical membrane, Cl(-)/anion (formate, oxalate and bicarbonate) exchangers represent the first step in transcellular Cl(-) reabsorption. A basolateral Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger, involved in HCO(3)(-) reclamation, participates in the rise of intracellular Cl(-) activity above its equilibrium value, and thus also contributes to the creation of an outwardly directed electrochemical Cl(-) gradient across the cell membranes. This driving force favours Cl(-) diffusion from the cell to the lumen and to the interstitium. In the basolateral membrane, the main mechanism for transcellular Cl(-) reabsorption is a Cl(-) conductance, but a Na(+)-driven Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger may also participate in Cl(-) reabsorption.

Abstract
Working with isolated perfused S2 proximal tubules, we asked whether the basolateral CO2 sensor acts, in part, by raising intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), monitored with the dye fura 2 (or fura-PE3). In paired experiments, adding 5% CO2/22 mM HCO3- (constant pH 7.40) to the bath (basolateral) solution caused [Ca2+]i to increase from 57 +/- 3 to 97 +/- 9 nM(n = 8, P < 0.002), whereas the same maneuver in the lumen had no effect. Intracellular pH (pHi), measured with the dye BCECF, fell by 0.54 +/- 0.08 (n = 14) when we added CO2/HCO3- to the lumen. In 14 tubules in which we added CO2/HCO3- to the bath, pHi fell by 0.55 +/- 0.11 in 9 with a high initial pHi, but rose by 0.28 +/- 0.07 in the other 5 with a low initial pHi. Thus it cannot be a pHi change that triggers the [Ca2+]i increase. Introducing to the bath an out-of-equilibrium (OOE) solution containing 20% CO2/no HCO3-/pH 7.40 caused [Ca2+]i to rise by 62 +/- 17 nM (n = 10), whereas an OOE solution containing 0% CO2/22 mM HCO3-/pH 7.40 caused only a trivial increase. Removing Ca2+ from the lumen and bath, or adding 10 microM nifedipine (L- and T-type Ca2+-channel blocker) or 2 microM thapsigargin [sarco-(endo) plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor] or 4 microM rotenone (mitochondrial inhibitor) to the lumen and bath, failed to reduce the CO2-induced increase in [Ca2+]i. Adding 10 mM caffeine (ryanodine-receptor agonist) had no effect on [Ca2+]i. Thus basolateral CO2, presumably via a basolateral sensor, triggers the release of Ca2+ from a nonconventional intracellular pool.

Abstract
1. Calcium regulation has been reported to be associated with the development of diabetic nephropathy. Thus, changes in Ca2+ uptake induced by ATP, an important regulator of Ca2+ uptake, in the diabetic condition and related signal pathways were examined in primary cultures of rabbit renal proximal tubule cells (PTC). 2. Under low (5 mmol/L) glucose conditions, 10-4 mol/L ATP inhibited Ca2+ uptake early on (< 30 min), whereas Ca2+ uptake was stimulated at later time points (> 2 h). However, under high (25 mmol/L) glucose conditions, ATP stimulated both the early and late uptake of Ca2+. 3. The adenylate cyclase inhibitor SQ 22536, the protein kinase (PK) A inhibitor PKI amide 14-22, Rp-cAMP, staurosporine, bisindolylmaleimide I and H-7 (PKC inhibitors) blocked the change in ATP effect on Ca2+ uptake in the presence of 25 mmol/L glucose. However, none one of these drugs blocked the effect of ATP on Ca2+ uptake in the presence of 5 mmol/L. 4. At 25 mmol/L, glucose increased cAMP content and PKC activity, whereas ATP had no effect on either parameter. 5. In conclusion, high glucose levels alter ATP-induced Ca2+ uptake via cAMP and PKC pathways in the PTC.

Abstract
It has been reported that secretory mammary epithelial cells (MEC) release ATP, UTP, and UDP upon mechanical stimulation. Here we examined the physiological changes caused by ATP/UTP in nontransformed, clonal mouse mammary epithelia (31EG4 cells). In control conditions, transepithelial potential (apical side negative) and resistance were -4.4 +/- 1.3 mV (mean +/- SD, n = 12) and 517.7 +/- 39.4 Omega. cm(2), respectively. The apical membrane potential was -43.9 +/- 1.7 mV, and the ratio of apical to basolateral membrane resistance (R(A)/R(B)) was 3.5 +/- 0.2. Addition of ATP or UTP to the apical or basolateral membranes caused large voltage and resistance changes with an EC(50) of approximately 24 microM (apical) and approximately 30 microM (basal). Apical ATP/UTP (100 microM) depolarized apical membrane potential by 17.6 +/- 0.8 mV (n = 7) and decreased R(A)/R(B) by a factor of approximately 3. The addition of adenosine to either side (100 microM) had no effect on any of these parameters. The ATP/UTP responses were partially inhibited by DIDS and suramin and mediated by a transient increase in free intracellular Ca(2+) concentration (427 +/- 206 nM; 15-25 microM ATP, apical; n = 6). This Ca(2+) increase was blocked by cyclopiazonic acid, by BAPTA, or by xestospongin C. 31EG4 MEC monolayers also secreted or absorbed fluid in the resting state, and ATP or UTP increased fluid secretion by 5.6 +/- 3 microl x cm(-2) x h(-1) (n = 10). Pharmacology experiments indicate that 31EG4 epithelia contain P2Y(2) purinoceptors on the apical and basolateral membranes, which upon activation stimulate apical Ca(2+)-dependent Cl channels and cause fluid secretion across the monolayer. This suggests that extracellular nucleotides could play a fundamental role in mammary gland paracrine signaling and the regulation of milk composition in vivo.

Abstract
During the past two decades, several cell membrane receptors, which preferentially bind extracellular nucleotides, and their analogs have been identified. These receptors, collectively known as nucleotide receptors or "purinergic" receptors, have been characterized and classified on the basis of their biological actions, their pharmacology, their molecular biology, and their tissue and cell distribution. For these receptors to have biological and physiological relevance, nucleotides must be released from cells. The field of extracellular ATP release and signaling is exploding, as assays to detect this biological process increase in number and ingenuity. Studies of ATP release have revealed a myriad of roles in local regulatory (autocrine or paracrine) processes in almost every tissue in the body. The regulatory mechanisms that these receptors control or modulate have physiological and pathophysiological roles and potential therapeutic applications. Only recently, however, have ATP release and nucleotide receptors been identified along the renal epithelium of the nephron. This work has set the stage for the study of their physiological and pathophysiological roles in the kidney. This review provides a comprehensive presentation of these issues, with a focus on the renal epithelium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several groups have identified P2Y receptors in the basolateral membrane of the rat nephron. These studies have not covered all segments of the nephron and have relied solely on the relative potency of receptor agonists for classification. METHODS We measured purine and pyrimidine-induced changes in intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in anatomically defined segments of the rat nephron. To complement these functional studies, we have used reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction methodology to identify specific P2Y receptor transcripts in these segments. RESULTS Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) mobilized [Ca(2+)](i) in all nephron segments, except for the thick ascending limb of Henle, which was poorly responsive. Adenosine (100 micromol/L) was without effect, confirming that the effect of ATP was mediated by P2 receptors. In the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) and outer medullary collecting duct (OMCD), there was evidence for two receptor subtypes with characteristics of P2Y(1)- and either P2Y(2)- or P2Y(4)-like receptors. A novel finding in the thin limbs was the presence of a receptor with properties of both P2Y(2) and P2Y(4) receptor subtypes. To aid classification, we identified P2Y receptor mRNA in rat nephron segments. In the PCT and OMCD and thin ascending limb of Henle, we found expression of P2Y(1), P2Y(2), and P2Y(4) receptors. In the descending limb of Henle, P2Y(1) and P2Y(2) mRNA was found, but P2Y(4) was not expressed. CONCLUSION These data suggest that extracellular ATP can influence tubular cell function in all segments of the rat nephron, through P2Y receptors via multiple (and coexpressed) P2Y receptor subtypes.

Abstract
We have used the patch-clamp technique to study the effects of changing extracellular ATP concentration on the activity of the small-conductance potassium channel (SK) on the apical membrane of the mouse cortical collecting duct. In cell-attached patches, the channel conductance and kinetics were similar to its rat homologue. Addition of ATP to the bathing solution of split-open single cortical collecting ducts inhibited SK activity. The inhibition of the channel by ATP was reversible, concentration dependent (K(i) = 64 microM), and could be completely prevented by pretreatment with suramin, a specific purinergic receptor (P(2)) blocker. Ranking of the inhibitory potency of several nucleotides showed strong inhibition by ATP, UTP, and ATP-gamma-S, whereas alpha, beta-Me ATP, and 2-Mes ATP failed to affect channel activity. This nucleotide sensitivity is consistent with P(2)Y(2) purinergic receptors mediating the inhibition of SK by ATP. Single channel analysis further demonstrated that the inhibitory effects of ATP could be elicited through activation of apical receptors. Moreover, the observation that fluoride mimicked the inhibitory action of ATP suggests the activation of G proteins during purinergic receptor stimulation. Channel inhibition by ATP was not affected by blocking phospholipase C and protein kinase C. However, whereas cAMP prevented channel blocking by ATP, blocking protein kinase A failed to abolish the inhibitory effects of ATP. The reduction of K channel activity by ATP could be prevented by okadaic acid, an inhibitor of protein phosphatases, and KT5823, an agent that blocks protein kinase G. Moreover, the effect of ATP was mimicked by cGMP and blocked by L-NAME (N(G)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester). We conclude that the inhibitory effect of ATP on the apical K channel is mediated by stimulation of P(2)Y(2) receptors and results from increasing dephosphorylation by enhancing PKG-sensitive phosphatase activity.

Abstract
Our understanding of the actions of extracellular ATP in controlling kidney function via stimulation of P2 receptors is still at an early stage. Recently, several groups, including our own, have begun to address this subject: in this brief review, we discuss some of these effects and speculate on likely function of extracellular nucleotides in the kidney.

Abstract
We characterized Cl(-) conductance activated by extracellular ATP in an immortalized cell line derived from rabbit distal bright convoluted tubule (DC1). (125)I(-) efflux experiments showed that ATP increased (125)I(-) loss with an EC(50) = 3 microM. Diphenylamine-2-carboxylate (10(-3) M) and NPPB (10(-4) M) abolished the (125)I(-) efflux. Preincubation with 10 microM 1, 2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid-acetoxymethyl ester or 10(-7) M thapsigargin inhibited the effect of ATP. Ionomycin (2 microM) increased (125)I(-) efflux with a time course similar to that of extracellular ATP, suggesting that the response is dependent on the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)). The ATP agonist potency order was ATP >/= UTP > ATPgammaS. Suramin (500 microM) inhibited the ATP-induced (125)I(-) efflux, consistent with P2 purinoceptors. (125)I(-) effluxes from cells grown on permeable filters suggest that ATP induced an apical efflux that was mediated via apical P2 receptors. Whole cell experiments showed that ATP (100 microM) activated outwardly rectifying Cl(-) currents in the presence of 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine, excluding the involvement of P1 receptors. Ionomycin activated Cl(-) currents similar to those developed with ATP. These results demonstrate the presence of a purinergic regulatory mechanism involving ATP, apical P2Y2 receptors, and Ca(2+) mobilization for apical Cl(-) conductance in a distal tubule cell line.

Abstract
1. Modulation of intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) by extracellular ATP was investigated in cultured adult rat brown adipocytes using the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator fura-2. 2. Bath application of ATP in micromolar concentrations caused a large increase in [Ca2+]i in cells previously stimulated with noradrenaline. This ATP-induced [Ca2+]i increase exhibited a monotonic decline to near the resting levels within approximately 2 min, even in the continued presence of the agonist. 3. The magnitude and time course of the [Ca2+]i increase in response to ATP were not significantly affected by removal of extracellular Ca2+, suggesting that a mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ primarily contributes to the increase. 4. The [Ca2+]i increase in response to ATP was sensitive to inhibition by suramin, suggesting the involvement of P2 purinoceptors in the response. 5. Thapsigargin (100 nM) evoked a gradual and irreversible increase in [Ca2+]i which was entirely dependent upon extracellular Ca2+, providing functional evidence for the expression of store-operated Ca2+ entry in these brown adipocytes. 6. Extracellular ATP at a concentration of 10 microM depressed this thapsigargin (100 nM)-induced [Ca2+]i increase by 92 +/- 3 % (n = 8 cells), strongly suggesting that ATP inhibits an influx of Ca2+ across the plasma membrane through the store-operated pathway. Bath application of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 5 microM) did not affect the thapsigargin-induced [Ca2+]i increase, indicating that the inhibitory action of ATP is not mediated by activation of protein kinase C (PKC). 7. These results indicate that extracellular ATP not only mobilizes Ca2+ from the intracellular stores but also exerts a potent inhibitory effect on the store-operated Ca2+ entry process in adult rat brown adipocytes.

Abstract
Extracellular nucleotides regulate NaCl transport in some epithelia. However, the effects of nucleotide agonists on NaCl transport in the renal inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) are not known. The objective of this study was to determine whether ATP and related nucleotides regulate NaCl transport across mouse IMCD cell line (mIMCD-K2) epithelial monolayers and, if so, via what purinergic receptor subtypes. ATP and UTP inhibited Na(+) absorption [measured via Na(+) short-circuit current (I(Na)(sc))] and stimulated Cl(-) secretion [measured via Cl(-) short-circuit current (I(Cl)(sc))]. Using selective P2 agonists, we report that P2X and P2Y purinoceptors regulate I(Na)(sc) and I(Cl)(sc). By RT-PCR, two P2X receptor channels (P2X(3), P2X(4)) and two P2Y G protein-coupled receptors (P2Y(1), P2Y(2)) were identified. Functional localization of P2 purinoceptors suggest that I(Cl)(sc) is stimulated by apical membrane-resident P2Y purinoceptors and P2X receptor channels, whereas I(Na)(sc) is inhibited by apical membrane-resident P2Y purinoceptors and P2X receptor channels. Together, we conclude that nucleotide agonists inhibit I(Na)(sc) across mIMCD-K2 monolayers through interactions with P2X and P2Y purinoceptors expressed on the apical plasma membrane, whereas extracellular nucleotides stimulate I(Cl)(sc) through interactions with P2X and P2Y purinoceptors expressed on the apical plasma membrane.
