Abstract
BACKGROUND The superior cervical ganglion (SCG) plays a key role in cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the changes in the ion channel characteristics of the SCG following myocardial infarction (MI) and the role of pretreatment with the P2Y12 receptor antagonist ticagrelor (TIC). METHODS A total of 18 male rabbits were randomly divided into a control group, MI group, and P2Y12 receptor antagonist (TIC) group (abbreviated as the TIC group). Rabbit MI was performed via two abdominal subcutaneous injections of 150 mg·kg-1·d-1 of isoproterenol (ISO) with an interval of 24 h. TIC pretreatment at 20 mg·kg-1·d-1 was administered via gavage for two consecutive days. The cardiac function of each group was evaluated with echocardiography. ADP receptor P2Y12 expressions in SCGs were determined using RT-PCR and immunofluorescence staining. Ion channel characteristics of SCG neurons were measured using a whole-cell patch clamp. Intracellular calcium concentrations for SCG neurons were measured using confocal microscopy. RESULTS Cardiac function was reduced in the rabbits of the MI group, the sympathetic nerve activity of SCGs was increased, and the current amplitude of the neuron ion channel was increased. MI led to alterations in the activation and inactivation characteristics of INa channels accompanied by increased expression of P2Y12 in SCGs. Most of these abnormalities were prevented by TIC pretreatment in the TIC group. CONCLUSIONS TIC pretreatment could attenuate the increase in P2Y12 expression in SCGs and the changes to the ion channel characteristics of SCG neurons after MI. This may be the mechanism underlying the cardiac protective effects of TIC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The G protein-coupled receptor P2RY2 protein of the purinergic receptor family is involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Naturally occurring antibodies against P2RY2 (NAbs-P2RY2) are present in human plasma, with their clinical relevance in AD patients unknown. OBJECTIVE To explore the alteration of NAbs-P2RY2 in AD patients and its correlations with biomarkers and cognition of AD. METHODS The levels of naturally occurring antibodies against the four extracellular domains of P2RY2 (NAbs-P2RY2-1, NAbs-P2RY2-2, NAbs-P2RY2-3, and NAbs-P2RY2-4) were measured in the plasma of 55 AD patients, 28 non-AD dementia patients, and 70 cognitively normal participants. The correlations of autoantibody levels with cognitive scale scores, AD plasma biomarkers, and brain amyloid burden were examined. RESULTS NAbs-P2RY2-1, NAbs-P2RY2-3, and NAbs-P2RY2-4 were reduced in AD patients. Plasma levels of NAbs-P2RY2-2 and NAbs-P2RY2-3 levels were positively associated with cognitive and functional performances. Among these antibodies, plasma NAbs-P2RY2-2 levels were positively associated with plasma amyloid-β 42 levels. Plasma, while plasma NAbs-P2RY2-3 levels were negatively associated with brain amyloid burden in AD patients. CONCLUSION These findings indicate an alteration of humoral immunity against P2RY2 in AD patients. Further mechanistical investigations are needed to reveal the role of NAbs-P2RY2 in the pathogenesis of AD.

Abstract
Ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 2 (NTPDase2) hydrolyzes extracellular ATP to ADP, which is the ligand for P2Y1,12,13 receptors. The present study describes the distribution of NTPDase2 in adult rat brains in physiological conditions, and in hippocampal neurodegeneration induced by trimethyltin (TMT). The study also describes the regulation of NTPDase2 by inflammatory mediators in primary astrocytes and oligodendroglial cell line OLN93. In physiological conditions, NTPDase2 protein was most abundant in the hippocampus, where it was found in fibrous astrocytes and synaptic endings in the synaptic-rich hippocampal layers. In TMT-induced neurodegeneration, NTPDase2-mRNA acutely decreased at 2-dpi and then gradually recovered to the control level at 7-dpi and 21-dpi. As determined by immunohistochemistry and double immunofluorescence, the decrease was most pronounced in the dentate gyrus (DG), where NTPDase2 withdrew from the synaptic boutons in the polymorphic layer of DG, whereas the recovery of the expression was most profound in the subgranular layer. Concerning the regulation of NTPDase2 gene expression, proinflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-1β, TNFα, and IFNγ negatively regulated the expression of NTPDase2 in OLN93 cells, while did not altering the expression in primary astrocytes. Different cell-intrinsic stressors, such as depletion of intracellular energy store, oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and activation of protein kinase C, also massively disturbed the expression of the NTPDase2 gene. Together, our results suggest that the expression and the activity of NTPDase2 transiently cease in neurodegeneration and brain injury, most likely as a part of the acute adaptive response designed to promote cell defense, survival, and recovery.

Abstract
The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) accelerates heart rate, increases cardiac contractility, and constricts resistance vessels. The activity of SNS efferent nerves is generated by a complex neural network containing neurons and glia. Gq G protein-coupled receptor (Gq-GPCR) signaling in glial fibrillary acidic protein-expressing (GFAP+) glia in the central nervous system supports neuronal function and regulates neuronal activity. It is unclear how Gq-GPCR signaling in GFAP+ glia affects the activity of sympathetic neurons or contributes to SNS-regulated cardiovascular functions. In this study, we investigated whether Gq-GPCR activation in GFAP+ glia modulates the regulatory effect of the SNS on the heart; transgenic mice expressing Gq-coupled DREADD (designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs) (hM3Dq) selectively in GFAP+ glia were used to address this question in vivo. We found that acute Gq-GPCR activation in peripheral GFAP+ glia significantly accelerated heart rate and increased left ventricle contraction. Pharmacological experiments suggest that the glial-induced cardiac changes were due to Gq-GPCR activation in satellite glial cells within the sympathetic ganglion; this activation led to increased norepinephrine (NE) release and beta-1 adrenergic receptor activation within the heart. Chronic glial Gq-GPCR activation led to hypotension in female Gfap-hM3Dq mice. This study provides direct evidence that Gq-GPCR activation in peripheral GFAP+ glia regulates cardiovascular functions in vivo.

Abstract
In adult brains, ionotropic or metabotropic purinergic receptors are widely expressed in neurons and glial cells. They play an essential role in inflammation and neurotransmission in response to purines secreted to the extracellular medium. Recent studies have demonstrated a role for purinergic receptors in proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells although little is known about their role in regulating the initial neuronal development and axon elongation. The objective of our study was to investigate the role of some different types of purinergic receptors, P2Y1, P2Y13 and P2X7, which are activated by ADP or ATP. To study the role and crosstalk of P2Y1, P2Y13 and P2X7 purinergic receptors in axonal elongation, we treated neurons with specific agonists and antagonists, and we nucleofected neurons with expression or shRNA plasmids. ADP and P2Y1-GFP expression improved axonal elongation; conversely, P2Y13 and ATP-gated P2X7 receptors halted axonal elongation. Signaling through each of these receptor types was coordinated by adenylate cyclase 5. In neurons nucleofected with a cAMP FRET biosensor (ICUE3), addition of ADP or Blue Brilliant G, a P2X7 antagonist, increased cAMP levels in the distal region of the axon. Adenylate cyclase 5 inhibition or suppression impaired these cAMP increments. In conclusion, our results demonstrate a crosstalk between two metabotropic and one ionotropic purinergic receptor that regulates cAMP levels through adenylate cyclase 5 and modulates axonal elongation triggered by neurotropic factors and the PI3K-Akt-GSK3 pathway.

Abstract
Noradrenaline, neuropeptide Y and adenosine triphosphate are co-stored in, and co-released from, sympathetic nerves. Each transmitter modulates its own release as well as the release of one another; thus, anything affecting the release of one of these transmitters has consequences for all. Neurotransmission at the sympathetic neurovascular junction is also modulated by non-sympathetic mediators such as angiotensin II, serotonin, histamine, endothelin and prostaglandins through the activation of specific pre-junctional receptors. In addition, nitric oxide (NO) has been identified as a modulator of sympathetic neuronal activity, both as a physiological antagonist against the vasoconstrictor actions of the sympathetic neurotransmitters, and also by directly affecting transmitter release. Here, we review the modulation of sympathetic neurovascular transmission by neuronal and non-neuronal mediators with an emphasis on the actions of NO. The consequences for co-transmission are also discussed, particularly in light of hypertensive states where NO availability is diminished.

Abstract
Nucleotides contribute to the sensation of acute and chronic pain, but it remained enigmatic which G protein-coupled nucleotide (P2Y) receptors and associated signaling cascades are involved. To resolve this issue, nucleotides were applied to dorsal root ganglion neurons under current- and voltage-clamp. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), adenosine diphosphate (ADP), and uridine triphosphate (UTP), but not uridine diphosphate (UDP), depolarized the neurons and enhanced action potential firing in response to current injections. The P2Y2 receptor preferring agonist 2-thio-UTP was equipotent to UTP in eliciting these effects. The selective P2Y1 receptor antagonist MRS2179 largely attenuated the excitatory effects of ADP, but left those of 2-thio-UTP unaltered. Thus, the excitatory effects of the nucleotides were mediated by 2 different P2Y receptors, P2Y1 and P2Y2. Activation of each of these 2 receptors by either ADP or 2-thio-UTP inhibited currents through KV7 channels, on one hand, and facilitated currents through TRPV1 channels, on the other hand. Both effects were abolished by inhibitors of phospholipase C or Ca2+-ATPase and by chelation of intracellular Ca2+. The facilitation of TRPV1, but not the inhibition KV7 channels, was prevented by a protein kinase C inhibitor. Simultaneous blockage of KV7 channels and of TRPV1 channels prevented nucleotide-induced membrane depolarization and action potential firing. Thus, P2Y1 and P2Y2 receptors mediate an excitation of dorsal root ganglion neurons by nucleotides through the inhibition of KV7 channels and the facilitation of TRPV1 channels via a common bifurcated signaling pathway relying on an increase in intracellular Ca2+ and an activation of protein kinase C, respectively.

Abstract
Molecularly defined P2Y receptor subtypes are known to regulate the functions of neurons through an inhibition of K(V)7 K(+) and Ca(V)2 Ca(2+) channels and via an activation or inhibition of Kir3 channels. Here, we searched for additional neuronal ion channels as targets for P2Y receptors. Rat P2Y(1) receptors were expressed in PC12 cells via an inducible expression system, and the effects of nucleotides on membrane currents and intracellular Ca(2+) were investigated. At a membrane potential of 30 mV, ADP induced transient outward currents in a concentration-dependent manner with half-maximal effects at 4 μm. These currents had reversal potentials close to the K(+) equilibrium potential and changed direction when extracellular Na(+) was largely replaced by K(+), but remained unaltered when extracellular Cl() was changed. Currents were abolished by P2Y(1) antagonists and by blockade of phospholipase C. ADP also caused rises in intracellular Ca(2+), and ADP-evoked currents were abolished when inositol trisphosphate-sensitive Ca(2+) stores were depleted. Blockers of K(Ca)2, but not those of K(Ca)1.1 or K(Ca)3.1, channels largely reduced ADP-evoked currents. In hippocampal neurons, ADP also triggered outward currents at 30 mV which were attenuated by P2Y(1) antagonists, depletion of Ca(2+) stores, or a blocker of K(Ca)2 channels. These results demonstrate that activation of neuronal P2Y(1) receptors may gate Ca(2+)-dependent K(+) (K(Ca)2) channels via phospholipase C-dependent increases in intracellular Ca(2+) and thereby define an additional class of neuronal ion channels as novel effectors for P2Y receptors. This mechanism may form the basis for the control of synaptic plasticity via P2Y(1) receptors.

Abstract
Intercellular purinergic signalling, which utilizes ATP as a transmitter, is fundamental for the operation of the autonomic nervous system. ATP is released together with 'classical' transmitters from sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves supplying various peripheral targets, modulates neurotransmission in autonomic ganglia, has an important role in local enteric neural control and coordination of intestinal secretion and motility, and acts as a common mediator for several distinct sensory modalities. Recently, the role of ATP-mediated signalling in the central nervous control of autonomic function has been addressed. Emerging data demonstrate that in the brain ATP is involved in the operation of several key cardiorespiratory reflexes, contributes to central processing of viscerosensory information, mediates central CO(2) chemosensory transduction and triggers adaptive changes in breathing, and modulates the activities of the brainstem vagal preganglionic, presympathetic and respiratory neural networks.

In embryonic P19 cells, P2Y(1), P2Y(2) and P2X(4) receptors or P2X-heteromultimers with similar P2X(4) pharmacology were responsible for ATP and ATP analogue-induced Ca(2+) transients. In neuronal-differentiated cells, P2Y(2,) P2Y(6), P2X(2) and possibly P2X(2)/P2X(6) heteromeric receptors were the major mediators of the elevations in intracellular free calcium concentration [Ca(2+)](i). We have collected evidence for the involvement of metabotropic purinergic receptors in proliferation induction of undifferentiated and neural progenitor cells by using a BrdU-incorporation assay. ATP-, UTP-, ADP-, 2-MeS-ATP- and ADP-betaS-induced proliferation in P19 cells was mediated by P2Y(1) and P2Y(2) receptors as judged from pharmacological profiles of receptor responses. ATP-provoked acceleration of neuronal differentiation, determined by analysis of nestin and neuron-specific enolase gene and protein expression, also resulted from P2Y(1) and P2Y(2) receptor activation. Proliferation- and differentiation-induction involved the activation of inositol-trisphosphate sensitive intracellular Ca(2+) stores.

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
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the endogenous metabotropic P2Y receptors modulate ionotropic P2X(3) receptor-channels. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Whole-cell patch-clamp experiments were carried out on HEK293 cells permanently transfected with human P2X(3) receptors (HEK293-hP2X(3) cells) and rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. KEY RESULTS In both cell types, the P2Y(1,12,13) receptor agonist, ADP-beta-S, inhibited P2X(3) currents evoked by the selective agonist, alpha,beta-methylene ATP (alpha,beta-meATP). This inhibition could be markedly counteracted by replacing in the pipette solution the usual GTP with GDP-beta-S, a procedure known to block all G protein heterotrimers. P2X(3) currents evoked by ATP, activating both P2Y and P2X receptors, caused a smaller peak amplitude and desensitized faster than those currents evoked by the selective P2X(3) receptor agonist alpha,beta-meATP. In the presence of intracellular GDP-beta-S, ATP- and alpha,beta-meATP-induced currents were identical. Recovery from P2X(3) receptor desensitization induced by repetitive ATP application was slower than the recovery from alpha,beta-meATP-induced desensitization. When G proteins were blocked by intracellular GDP-beta-S, the recovery from the ATP- and alpha,beta-meATP-induced desensitization were of comparable speed. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Our results suggest that the activation of P2Y receptors G protein-dependently facilitates the desensitization of P2X(3) receptors and suppresses the recovery from the desensitized state. Hence, the concomitant stimulation of P2X(3) and P2Y receptors of DRG neurons by ATP may result both in an algesic effect and a partly counterbalancing analgesic activity.

Abstract
Neurotrophins are essential for neuronal differentiation, but the onset and the intensity of neurotrophin signaling within the neuronal microenvironment are poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that extracellular nucleotides and their cognate receptors regulate neurotrophin-mediated differentiation. We found that 5'-O-(3-thio)triphosphate (ATPgammaS) activation of the G protein-coupled receptor P2Y(2) in the presence of nerve growth factor leads to the colocalization and association of tyrosine receptor kinase A and P2Y(2) receptors and is required for enhanced neuronal differentiation. Consistent with these effects, ATPgammaS promotes phosphorylation of tyrosine receptor kinase A, early response kinase 1/2, and p38, thereby enhancing sensitivity to nerve growth factor and accelerating neurite formation in both PC12 cells and dorsal root ganglion neurons. Genetic or small interfering RNA depletion of P2Y(2) receptors abolished the ATPgammaS-mediated increase in neuronal differentiation. Moreover, in vivo injection of ATPgammaS into the sciatic nerve increased growth-associated protein-43 (GAP-43), a marker for axonal growth, in wild-type but not P2Y(2)(-/-) mice. The interactions of tyrosine kinase- and P2Y(2)-signaling pathways provide a paradigm for the regulation of neuronal differentiation and suggest a role for P2Y(2) as a morphogen receptor that potentiates neurotrophin signaling in neuronal development and regeneration.

Abstract
In order to clarify the physiologic role of NPY in sensory processing, we obtained intracellular recordings of DRG neurons from wild type (WT) and NPY overexpressing transgenic rats (NPY-TG) before and after injury. We investigated medium and large diameter DRG neurons since upregulation of NPY peptide following the nerve injury occurs primarily in those cells. Neurons were classified as Aalpha/beta and Adelta using conduction velocity and action potential duration. Prior to the injury, Aalpha/beta neurons of NPY-TG rats conducted more slowly and had a more brief AHP than similar cells from the WT group. Adelta neurons at baseline conducted faster in TG animals compared to WT. Ligation of the 5th lumbar spinal nerve (SNL) produced certain changes in Aalpha/beta cells that were evident only in the TG group. These include increased refractory period, increased input resistance, AHP prolongation and a depolarizing shift in threshold for AP initiation. The expected injury-induced CV slowing was not seen in NPY-TG Aalpha/beta cells. In the Adelta cell group, injury produced a depolarizing shift in the resting membrane potential, an increase in AP duration and decrease in AHP and refractory period duration only in WT rats, while NPY-TG cells lacked these injury-induced changes. Behavior tests showed diminished sensory response to nerve injury in NPY-TG rats, i.e., shorter duration of enhanced pain-related behavior and attenuation of contralateral effect. In conclusion, our observations suggest that NPY overexpression leads to reduced neuronal activity following nerve injury in a cell-specific manner.

Abstract
We have shown previously that ATP inhibits transmitter release at the neuromuscular junction through the action on metabotropic P2Y receptors coupled to specific second messenger cascades. In the present study we recorded K(+) or Ca(2+) currents in motor nerve endings or blocked K(+) or Ca(2+) channels in order to explore the nature of downstream presynaptic effectors. Endplate currents were presynaptically depressed by ATP. Blockers of Ca(2+)-activated K(+)-channels, such as iberiotoxin, apamin or tetraethylammonium, did not change the depressant action of ATP. By contrast, K(+) channel blocker 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) and raised extracellular Ca(2+) attenuated the effect of ATP. However, these effects of 4-AP and high Ca(2+) were reversed by Mg(2+), suggesting Ca(2+)-dependence of the ATP action. Ba(2+) promoted the depressant action of ATP as did glibenclamide, a blocker of ATP-sensitive K(+) channels, or mild depolarization produced by 7.5 mm K(+). None of the K(+) channel blockers affected the depressant action of adenosine. Focal recording revealed that neither ATP nor adenosine affected the fast K(+) currents of the motor nerve endings. However, unlike adenosine, ATP or UTP, an agonist of P2Y receptors, reversibly reduced the presynaptic Ca(2+)-current. This effect was abolished by suramin, an antagonist of P2 receptors. Depressant effect of ATP on the endplate and Ca(2+)-currents was mimicked by arachidonate, which precluded the action of ATP. ATP reduced acetylcholine release triggered by ionomycin or sucrose, suggesting inhibition of release machinery. Thus, the presynaptic depressant action of ATP is mediated by inhibition of Ca(2+) channels and by mechanism acting downstream of Ca(2+) entry.

Abstract
Although feedback inhibition of noradrenaline release by coreleased nucleotides is a well known phenomenon, it remained unclear which P2 receptor subtypes and associated signalling cascades may be involved. In the rat pheochromocytoma cell line PC12, 2-methylthio-ADP reduced noradrenaline release triggered by K+ depolarization more potently than ADP and ATP, whereas UDP or UTP failed to do so. The inhibition by ADP was abolished by pertussis toxin and antagonized by reactive blue 2, 2-methylthio-AMP, and AR-C69931MX, but not by suramin. AR-C69931MX acted as a competitive antagonist with an apparent affinity of 2 nm, but did not alter noradrenaline release, when PC12 cells were continuously superfused. However, when the superfusion was halted during K+ depolarization, release was significantly reduced and this inhibition was attenuated by AR-C69931MX, thus revealing ongoing autoinhibition. Rises in cellular cyclic AMP did not alter depolarization-evoked release nor its reduction by ADP, even though the nucleotide did inhibit cyclic AMP accumulation. ADP and the direct Ca2+ channel blocker Cd2+ inhibited voltage-activated Ca2+ currents, but not ATP-induced currents, and both agents reduced K+-evoked, but not ATP-evoked, release. Hence, if voltage-gated Ca2+ channels do not contribute to stimulation-evoked release, ADP fails to exert its inhibitory action. In primary cultures of rat sympathetic neurons, ADP also reduced Ca2+ currents and K+-evoked noradrenaline release, and AR-C69931MX acted again as competitive antagonist with an apparent affinity of 3 nm. These results show that P2Y12 receptors mediate an autoinhibition of transmitter release from PC12 cells and sympathetic neurons through an inhibition of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels.

Abstract
Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings were performed on freshly dissociated nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) of rat to determine the action of extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine (ADO) on voltage-dependent calcium channel (VDCC) currents (I(Ca)). Application of ATP and ATP-analog inhibited I(Ca). The rank order of potency of inhibition of I(Ca) was 2-methylthioATP (2-MeSATP) > ATP > adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP) >> alpha,beta-methylene ATP (alpha,beta-MeATP) = uridine 5'-triphosphate (UTP). Application of ADO receptor agonists also inhibited I(Ca). The rank order of potency of inhibition of I(Ca) was N(6)-cyclohexyladenosine (CHA) > ADO > 2-(4-(2-carboxyethyl)phenylethylamino)adenosine-5'-N-ethylcarboxamideadenosine (CGS-21680) > N(6)-2-(4-aminophenyl)ethyladenosine (APNEA). Application of prepulse attenuated these inhibition. Both intracellular dialysis of guanosin 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDP-beta-S) and anti-G(i) antibody also attenuated these inhibition. L-, N- and P/Q-type VDCCs were inhibited by ATP. In contrast, N- and P/Q-type VDCCs were inhibited by ADO. In addition to inhibition, application of 100 microM ATP facilitated I(Ca). Intracellular dialysis of GDP-beta-S did not attenuate these facilitations. In conclusion, activation of P2Y purinoceptors inhibits L-, N- and P/Q-types VDCCs via G(i)-protein betagamma subunits. Activation of A(1) and/or A(2) receptors inhibit N- and P/Q-types VDCCs via G(i)-protein betagamma subunits. Activation of P2X purinoceptors facilitates Ca(2+) entry in NTS.

Abstract
1 P2Y receptors are expressed in the nervous system and are involved in calcium signalling in neurons and glia. In the superior cervical ganglion (SCG), RT-PCR analysis indicated the presence of P2Y(1,2&6) receptors. Rises in intracellular calcium in response to P2Y receptor stimulation were determined from adult mouse cultured SCG neurons and glia. 2 ADP evoked suramin (100 microM)- and pyridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulphonic acid (PPADS, 30 microM)-sensitive rises in intracellular calcium in approximately 80% of SCG neurons (EC50 approximately 20 microM). ADP-evoked responses were abolished in neurons from P2Y1 receptor-deficient mice (responses to UTP were unaffected). 3 The pyrimidines UTP (EC50 approximately 85 microM) and UDP (EC50>90 microM) evoked PPADS- and suramin-sensitive responses in approximately 70 and approximately 20% of SCG neurons, respectively. 4 In SCG glial cells, ADP (EC50 approximately 30 microM) evoked calcium responses in approximately 50% of glia. These were suramin and PPADS sensitive and essentially abolished in SCG glial cells cultured from adult P2Y1 receptor-deficient mice. 5 UTP (EC50 approximately 25 microM) and UDP (EC50>200 microM) evoked suramin- and pyridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2',5'-disulphonate-sensitive rises in calcium in approximately 60 and 20% SCG glial cells, respectively. 6 These results indicate the presence of several P2Y receptors coupled to an increase in intracellular calcium in the SCG: ADP-sensitive P2Y1 receptors and UDP-sensitive P2Y6 receptors in SCG neurons and glial cells, a novel UTP-sensitive P2Y receptor in SCG neurons and UTP- and ATP-sensitive P2Y2 receptors in SCG glia.

Abstract
Patch-clamp recordings from small-diameter rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons maintained in culture demonstrated preferential inhibition by ATP of high-voltage-activated, but not low-voltage-activated, Ca2+ currents (I(Ca)). The rank order of agonist potency was UTP > ADP > ATP. ATP depressed the omega-conotoxin GVIA-sensitive N-type current only. Pyridoxal-5-phosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulphonic acid (PPADS) and 2'-deoxy-N6-methyladenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate tetraammonium, two P2Y1 receptor antagonists, almost abolished the ATP-induced inhibition. Both patch-clamp recordings and immunocytochemistry coupled with confocal laser microscopy indicated a colocalization of functional P2X3 and P2Y1 receptors on the same DRG neurons. Because the effect of ATP was inhibited by intracellular guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) or by applying a strongly depolarizing prepulse, P2Y1 receptors appear to block I(Ca) by a pathway involving the betagamma subunit of a G(q/11) protein. Less efficient buffering of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) by reducing the intrapipette EGTA failed to interfere with the ATP effect. Fura-2 microfluorimetry suggested that ATP raised [Ca2+]i by a Galpha-mediated release from intracellular pools and simultaneously depressed the high external potassium concentration-induced increase of [Ca2+]i by inhibiting I(Ca) via Gbetagamma. Adenosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) inhibited dorsal root-evoked polysynaptic population EPSPs in the hemisected rat spinal cord and prolonged the nociceptive threshold on intrathecal application in the tail-flick assay. These effects were not antagonized by PPADS. Hence, P2Y receptor activation by ADP, which is generated by enzymatic degradation of ATP, may decrease the release of glutamate from DRG terminals in the spinal cord and thereby partly counterbalance the algogenic effect of ATP.

Abstract
Activation of P2Y receptors by released nucleotides subserves important autocrine-paracrine functions in various non-neural tissues. To investigate how P2Y receptors are activated in a neuronal environment, we used PC12 cells in which nucleotides were found to elicit increases in inositol phosphates via P2Y2 and decreases in cAMP via P2Y12 receptors. Depolarization of PC12 cells raised inositol phosphates, and blockade of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels by Cd2+ or degradation of extracellular nucleotides by apyrase prevented this effect. In nondepolarized cells, apyrase did not affect inositol phosphates. Depolarization of PC12 cells also reduced the A2A receptor-mediated synthesis of cAMP. This effect was again prevented by Cd2+ or apyrase, but apyrase enhanced the synthesis of cAMP even in nondepolarized cells. Overexpression of rat P2Y2 receptors increased the nucleotide-dependent inositol phosphate accumulation and enhanced the effect of K+ depolarization. Nevertheless, apyrase still failed to alter spontaneous inositol phosphate accumulation. Expression of rat P2Y1 receptors, in contrast, led to huge increases in spontaneous inositol phosphate accumulation, which was reduced by a receptor antagonist or by apyrase. This increased synthesis of inositol phosphates could not be further enhanced by depolarization or receptor agonists, but when endogenous nucleotides were removed by superfusion, recombinant P2Y1 receptors could be activated to mediate an inhibition of M-type K+ channels. These results indicate that nucleoside diphosphate-sensitive (P2Y12 and P2Y1) receptors are activated by spontaneous nucleotide release, whereas triphosphate-sensitive (P2Y2) receptors require an excess of depolarization-evoked release to become activated.
