Abstract
Extracellular nucleotides and nucleosides are crucial signalling molecules, eliciting diverse biological responses in almost all organs and tissues. These molecules exert their effects by activating specific nucleotide receptors, which are finely regulated by ectonucleotidases that break down their ligands. In this comprehensive review, we aim to elucidate the relevance of extracellular nucleotides as signalling molecules in the context of smooth muscle contraction, considering the modulatory influence of ectonucleotidases on this intricate process. Specifically, we provide a detailed examination of the involvement of extracellular nucleotides in the contraction of non-vascular smooth muscles, including those found in the urinary bladder, the airways, the reproductive system, and the gastrointestinal tract. Furthermore, we present a broader overview of the role of extracellular nucleotides in vascular smooth muscle contraction.

Alonazi ASA, Willets JM. G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 is essential to enable vasoconstrictor-mediated arterial smooth muscle proliferation. Cell Signal 2021; 88:110152. [PMID: 34555505 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2021.110152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2021] [Revised: 09/07/2021] [Accepted: 09/15/2021] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
Hypertension is associated with increased production and circulation of vasoconstrictors, resulting in enhanced signalling through their cognate G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR). Prolonged vasoconstrictor GPCR signalling increases arterial contraction and stimulates signalling pathways that promote vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation, contributing to the development of atherosclerotic plaques, re-stenosis lesions and vascular remodelling. GPCR signalling through phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) promotes VSMC proliferation. In VSMC, G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) is known to regulate numerous vasoconstrictor GPCRs and their downstream signalling pathways. As GRK2 is implicated in controlling various aspects of cellular growth, we examined whether GRK2 could affect VSMC proliferation. Using two indices of cell growth, we show that PI3K inhibition and depletion of GRK2 expression produced a similar ablation of pro-proliferative vasoconstrictor-stimulated VSMC growth. Furthermore, GRK2-knockdown ablated the sustained phase of endothelin-1 and angiotensin-II-stimulated Akt phosphorylation, whilst the peak (5 min) phase was unaffected. Conversely, the GRK2 inhibitor compound 101 did not affect vasoconstrictor-driven Akt phosphorylation. Vasoconstrictor-stimulated phosphorylation of the Akt substrates GSK3α and GSK3β was ablated following RNAi-mediated GRK2 depletion, or after PI3K inhibition. Moreover, GRK2 knockdown prevented endothelin-1 and angiotensin-II from increasing cyclin D1 expression. These data suggest GRK2 expression is essential to facilitate vasoconstrictor-driven VSMC proliferation through its ability to promote efficient prolonged PI3K-Akt signalling, and thus relieve the GSK3-mediated block on cell cycling. Considering VSMC GRK2 expression increases early in the development of hypertension, this highlights the potential for GRK2 to promote VSMC growth and exacerbate hypertensive pathophysiological vascular remodelling.

Analysis of purine receptor expression and functionality in alveolar epithelial cells. Purinergic Signal 2020; 16:213-229.

Abstract
Despite its fundamental role in providing an extensive surface for gas exchange, the alveolar epithelium (AE) serves as an immunological barrier through, e.g., the release of proinflammatory cytokines and secretion of surfactant to prevent alveolar collapse. Thus, AE is important for sustaining lung homeostasis. Extracellular ATP secreted by alveolar epithelial cells (AECs) is involved in physiological and pathological conditions and acts mainly through the activation of purine receptors (P2Rs). When studying P2R-mediated processes, primary isolated type II AECs (piAECs) still represent the gold standard in in vitro research, although their preparation is time-consuming and requires the sacrifice of many animals. Hence, cultivated immortalized and tumor-derived AEC lines may constitute a valuable alternative. In this work, we examined P2R expression and functionality in piAECs, in immortalized and tumor-derived AEC lines with the purpose of gaining a better understanding of purinergic signaling in different cell systems and assisting researchers in the choice of a suitable cell line with a certain P2R in demand. We combined mRNA and protein analysis to evaluate the expression of P2R. For pharmacological testing, we conducted calcium ([Ca2+]) measurements and siRNA receptor knockdown. Interestingly, the mRNA and protein levels of P2Y2, P2Y6, and P2X4 were detected on all cell lines. Concerning functionality, P2XR could be narrowed to L2 and piAECs while P2YR were active in all cell lines.

Abstract
With immunohistochemical and Western blot techniques, P2X1 receptors were detected in the whole mouse gastrointestinal tract and pancreatic islets of mouse and human. (1) δ Cells containing somatostatin (SOM) in the stomach corpus, small intestines, distal colon, pancreatic islets of both mouse and human express P2X1 receptors; (2) strong immunofluorescence of P2X1 receptors was detected in smooth muscle fibers and capillary networks of the villus core of mouse intestine; and (3) P2X1 receptor-immunoreactive neurons were also detected widely in both mouse myenteric and submucosal plexuses, all of which express SOM. The present data implies that ATP via P2X1 receptors is involved in SOM release from pancreatic δ cells, enteric neurons, and capillary networks in villi.

Abstract
A homology model of the nucleotide-activated P2Y2R was created based on the X-ray structures of the P2Y1 receptor. Docking studies were performed, and receptor mutants were created to probe the identified binding interactions. Mutation of residues predicted to interact with the ribose (Arg110) and the phosphates of the nucleotide agonists (Arg265, Arg292) or that contribute indirectly to binding (Tyr288) abolished activity. The Y114F, R194A, and F261A mutations led to inactivity of diadenosine tetraphosphate and to a reduced response of UTP. Significant reduction in agonist potency was observed for all other receptor mutants (Phe111, His184, Ser193, Phe261, Tyr268, Tyr269) predicted to be involved in agonist recognition. An ionic lock between Asp185 and Arg292 that is probably involved in receptor activation interacts with the phosphate groups. The antagonist AR-C118925 and anthraquinones likely bind to the orthosteric site. The updated homology models will be useful for virtual screening and drug design.

Abstract
The Gq protein-coupled, ATP- and UTP-activated P2Y2 receptor is a potential drug target for a range of different disorders, including tumor metastasis, inflammation, atherosclerosis, kidney disorders, and osteoporosis, but pharmacological studies are impeded by the limited availability of suitable antagonists. One of the most potent and selective antagonists is the thiouracil derivative AR-C118925. However, this compound was until recently not commercially available and little is known about its properties. We therefore developed an improved procedure for the synthesis of AR-C118925 and two derivatives to allow up-scaling and assessed their potency in calcium mobilization assays on the human and rat P2Y2 receptors recombinantly expressed in 1321N1 astrocytoma cells. The compound was further evaluated for inhibition of P2Y2 receptor-induced β-arrestin translocation. AR-C118925 behaved as a competitive antagonist with pA 2 values of 37.2 nM (calcium assay) and 51.3 nM (β-arrestin assay). Selectivity was assessed vs. related receptors including P2X, P2Y, and adenosine receptor subtypes, as well as ectonucleotidases. AR-C118925 showed at least 50-fold selectivity against the other investigated targets, except for the P2X1 and P2X3 receptors which were blocked by AR-C118925 at concentrations of about 1 μM. AR-C118925 is soluble in buffer at pH 7.4 (124 μM) and was found to be metabolically highly stable in human and mouse liver microsomes. In Caco2 cell experiments, the compound displayed moderate permeability indicating that it may show limited peroral bioavailability. AR-C118925 appears to be a useful pharmacological tool for in vitro and in vivo studies.

P2Y 2 receptor modulates shear stress-induced cell alignment and actin stress fibers in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Cell Mol Life Sci 2016; 74:731-746.

Abstract
Endothelial cells release ATP in response to fluid shear stress, which activates purinergic (P2) receptor-mediated signaling molecules including endothelial nitric oxide (eNOS), a regulator of vascular tone. While P2 receptor-mediated signaling in the vasculature is well studied, the role of P2Y2 receptors in shear stress-associated endothelial cell alignment, cytoskeletal alterations, and wound repair remains ill defined. To address these aspects, human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) monolayers were cultured on gelatin-coated dishes and subjected to a shear stress of 1 Pa. HUVECs exposed to either P2Y2 receptor antagonists or siRNA showed impaired fluid shear stress-induced cell alignment, and actin stress fiber formation as early as 6 h. Similarly, when compared to cells expressing the P2Y2 Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) wild-type receptors, HUVECs transiently expressing the P2Y2 Arg-Gly-Glu (RGE) mutant receptors showed reduced cell alignment and actin stress fiber formation in response to shear stress as well as to P2Y2 receptor agonists in static cultures. Additionally, we observed reduced shear stress-induced phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (Y397), and cofilin-1 (S3) with receptor knockdown as well as in cells expressing the P2Y2 RGE mutant receptors. Consistent with the role of P2Y2 receptors in vasodilation, receptor knockdown and overexpression of P2Y2 RGE mutant receptors reduced shear stress-induced phosphorylation of AKT (S473), and eNOS (S1177). Furthermore, in a scratched wound assay, shear stress-induced cell migration was reduced by both pharmacological inhibition and receptor knockdown. Together, our results suggest a novel role for P2Y2 receptor in shear stress-induced cytoskeletal alterations in HUVECs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND All hematopoietic cells express P2 receptors, however pharmacological characteristics such as expression and affinity in granulocytes are unknown. METHODS Pharmacological characteristics of P2 receptors were evaluated by Ca(2+) measurements using Fura-2 fluorophore. P2 receptors expression were analyzed by flow cytometry and RT-PCR. P2 interaction were shown by coimmunoprecipitation, western blotting and FRET. RESULTS Granulocytes were responsive to P2Y agonists, whereas P2X agonists were ineffective. Ca(2+) increase, elicited by ADP and UTP was dependent on intracellular stocks and sensitive to G-coupled receptor inhibition. Moreover, MRS2179, a specific antagonist of the P2Y1 receptor, abolished ADP response. Interestingly, ADP and UTP exhibited full heterologous desensitization, suggesting that these agonists interact with the same receptor. The heteromeric association between P2Y1 receptor and the P2Y2 and P2Y4 receptors was shown by immunoprecipitation and FRET analysis. CONCLUSION Clear evidence of heteromeric association of P2Y receptors was found during the evaluation of P2 receptors present in mice granulocytes, which could impact in the classical pharmacology of P2Y receptors in granulocytes.

Abstract
In gastrointestinal smooth muscle, agonists that bind to Gi-coupled receptors activate preferentially PLC-β3 via Gβγ to stimulate phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis and generate inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) leading to IP3-dependent Ca(2+) release and muscle contraction. In the present study, we identified the mechanism of inhibition of PLC-β3-dependent PI hydrolysis by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG). Cyclopentyl adenosine (CPA), an adenosine A1 receptor agonist, caused an increase in PI hydrolysis in a concentration-dependent fashion; stimulation was blocked by expression of the carboxyl-terminal sequence of GRK2(495-689), a Gβγ-scavenging peptide, or Gαi minigene but not Gαq minigene. Isoproterenol and S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) induced phosphorylation of PLC-β3 and inhibited CPA-induced PI hydrolysis, Ca(2+) release, and muscle contraction. The effect of isoproterenol on all three responses was inhibited by PKA inhibitor, myristoylated PKI, or AKAP inhibitor, Ht-31, whereas the effect of GSNO was selectively inhibited by PKG inhibitor, Rp-cGMPS. GSNO, but not isoproterenol, also phosphorylated Gαi-GTPase-activating protein, RGS2, and enhanced association of Gαi3-GTP and RGS2. The effect of GSNO on PI hydrolysis was partly reversed in cells (i) expressing constitutively active GTPase-resistant Gαi mutant (Q204L), (ii) phosphorylation-site-deficient RGS2 mutant (S46A/S64A), or (iii) siRNA for RGS2. We conclude that PKA and PKG inhibit Gβγi-dependent PLC-β3 activity by direct phosphorylation of PLC-β3. PKG, but not PKA, also inhibits PI hydrolysis indirectly by a mechanism involving phosphorylation of RGS2 and its association with Gαi-GTP. This allows RGS2 to accelerate Gαi-GTPase activity, enhance Gαβγi trimer formation, and inhibit Gβγi-dependent PLC-β3 activity.

Abstract
P2 receptors are membrane-bound receptors for extracellular nucleotides such as ATP and UTP. P2 receptors have been classified as ligand-gated ion channels or P2X receptors and G protein-coupled P2Y receptors. Recently, purinergic signaling has begun to attract attention as a potential therapeutic target for a variety of diseases especially associated with gastroenterology. This study determined the ATP and UTP-induced receptor signaling mechanism in feline esophageal contraction. Contraction of dispersed feline esophageal smooth muscle cells was measured by scanning micrometry. Phosphorylation of MLC20 was determined by western blot analysis. ATP and UTP elicited maximum esophageal contraction at 30 s and 10 μM concentration. Contraction of dispersed cells treated with 10 μM ATP was inhibited by nifedipine. However, contraction induced by 0.1 μM ATP, 0.1 μM UTP and 10 μM UTP was decreased by U73122, chelerythrine, ML-9, PTX and GDPβS. Contraction induced by 0.1 μM ATP and UTP was inhibited by Gαi3 or Gαq antibodies and by PLCβ1 or PLCβ3 antibodies. Phosphorylated MLC20 was increased by ATP and UTP treatment. In conclusion, esophageal contraction induced by ATP and UTP was preferentially mediated by P2Y receptors coupled to Gαi3 and G q proteins, which activate PLCβ1 and PLCβ3. Subsequently, increased intracellular Ca(2+) and activated PKC triggered stimulation of MLC kinase and inhibition of MLC phosphatase. Finally, increased pMLC20 generated esophageal contraction.

Abstract
Purinergic signalling plays major roles in the physiology and pathophysiology of digestive organs. Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP), together with nitric oxide and vasoactive intestinal peptide, is a cotransmitter in non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic inhibitory neuromuscular transmission. P2X and P2Y receptors are widely expressed in myenteric and submucous enteric plexuses and participate in sympathetic transmission and neuromodulation involved in enteric reflex activities, as well as influencing gastric and intestinal epithelial secretion and vascular activities. Involvement of purinergic signalling has been identified in a variety of diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease, ischaemia, diabetes and cancer. Purinergic mechanosensory transduction forms the basis of enteric nociception, where ATP released from mucosal epithelial cells by distension activates nociceptive subepithelial primary afferent sensory fibres expressing P2X3 receptors to send messages to the pain centres in the central nervous system via interneurons in the spinal cord. Purinergic signalling is also involved in salivary gland and bile duct secretion.

J Neurochem 2014; 129:602-13.

Abstract
The P2Y11 nucleotide receptor detects high extracellular ATP concentrations. Mutations of the human P2RY11 gene can play a role in brain autoimmune responses, and the P2Y11 receptor alanine-87-threonine (A87T) polymorphism has been suggested to affect immune-system functions. We investigated receptor functionality of the P2Y11 A87T mutant using HEK293 and 1321N1 astrocytoma cells. In HEK293 cells, the P2Y11 receptor agonist 3'-O-(4-benzoylbenzoyl)adenosine 5'-triphosphate (BzATP) was completely inactive in evoking intracellular calcium release while the potency of ATP was reduced. ATP was also less potent in triggering cAMP generation. However, 1321N1 astrocytoma cells, which lack any endogenous P2Y1 receptors, did not display a reduction. Only when 1321N1 cells were co-transfected with P2Y11 A87T and P2Y1 receptors, the calcium responses to the P2Y11 receptor-specific agonist BzATP were reduced. It is already known that P2Y1 and P2Y11 receptors interact. We thus conclude that the physiological impact of A87T mutation of the P2Y11 receptor derives from detrimental effects on P2Y1 -P2Y11 receptor interaction. We additionally investigated alanine-87-serine and alanine-87-tyrosine P2Y11 receptor mutants. Both mutations rescue the response to BzATP in HEK293 cells, thus ruling out polarity of amino acid-87 to be the molecular basis for altered receptor characteristics. We further found that the P2Y11 A87T receptor shows complete loss of nucleotide-induced internalization in HEK293 cells. Thus, we demonstrate impaired signaling of the P2Y11 A87T-mutated receptors when co-operating with P2Y1 receptors.

Abstract
Platelet-derived growth factor receptor α positive (PDGFRα(+)) cells are suggested to mediate purinergic inputs in GI muscles, but the responsiveness of these cells to purines in situ has not been evaluated. We developed techniques to label and visualize PDGFRα(+) cells in murine gastric fundus, load cells with Ca(2+) indicators, and follow their activity via digital imaging. Immunolabelling demonstrated a high density of PDGFRα(+) cells in the fundus. Cells were isolated and purified by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) using endogenous expression of enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) driven off the Pdgfra promoter. Quantitative PCR showed high levels of expression of purinergic P2Y1 receptors and SK3 K(+) channels in PDGFRα(+) cells. Ca(2+) imaging was used to characterize spontaneous Ca(2+) transients and responses to purines in PDGFRα(+) cells in situ. ATP, ADP, UTP and β-NAD elicited robust Ca(2+) transients in PDGFRα(+) cells. Ca(2+) transients were also elicited by the P2Y1-specific agonist (N)-methanocarba-2MeSADP (MRS-2365), and inhibited by MRS-2500, a P2Y1-specific antagonist. Responses to ADP, MRS-2365 and β-NAD were absent in PDGFRα(+) cells from P2ry1((-/-)) mice, but responses to ATP were retained. Purine-evoked Ca(2+) transients were mediated through Ca(2+) release mechanisms. Inhibitors of phospholipase C (U-73122), IP3 (2-APB), ryanodine receptors (Ryanodine) and SERCA pump (cyclopiazonic acid and thapsigargin) abolished Ca(2+) transients elicited by purines. This study provides a link between purine binding to P2Y1 receptors and activation of SK3 channels in PDGFRα(+) cells. Activation of Ca(2+) release is likely to be the signalling mechanism in PDGFRα(+) cells responsible for the transduction of purinergic enteric inhibitory input in gastric fundus muscles.

Abstract
P2Y receptors for extracellular nucleotides are coupled to activation of a variety of G proteins and stimulate diverse intracellular signaling pathways that regulate functions of cell types that comprise the central nervous system (CNS). There are 8 different subtypes of P2Y receptor expressed in cells of the CNS that are activated by a select group of nucleotide agonists. Here, the agonist selectivity of these 8 P2Y receptor subtypes is reviewed with an emphasis on synthetic agonists with high potency and resistance to degradation by extracellular nucleotidases that have potential applications as therapeutic agents. In addition, the recent identification of a wide variety of subtype-selective antagonists is discussed, since these compounds are critical for discerning cellular responses mediated by activation of individual P2Y receptor subtypes. The functional expression of P2Y receptor subtypes in cells that comprise the CNS is also reviewed and the role of each subtype in the regulation of physiological and pathophysiological responses is considered. Other topics include the role of P2Y receptors in the regulation of blood-brain barrier integrity and potential interactions between different P2Y receptor subtypes that likely impact tissue responses to extracellular nucleotides in the CNS. Overall, current research suggests that P2Y receptors in the CNS regulate repair mechanisms that are triggered by tissue damage, inflammation and disease and thus P2Y receptors represent promising targets for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) mediates a variety of biological functions following nerve-evoked release, via activation of either G-protein-coupled P2Y- or ligand-gated P2X receptors. In smooth muscle, ATP, acting via P2Y receptors (P2YR), may act as an inhibitory neurotransmitter. The underlying mechanism(s) remain unclear, but have been proposed to involve the production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] by phospholipase C (PLC), to evoke Ca2+ release from the internal store and stimulation of Ca2+-activated potassium (KCa) channels to cause membrane hyperpolarization. This mechanism requires Ca2+ release from the store. However, in the present study, ATP evoked transient Ca2+ increases in only ~10% of voltage-clamped single smooth muscle cells. These results do not support activation of KCa as the major mechanism underlying inhibition of smooth muscle activity. Interestingly, ATP inhibited Ins(1,4,5)P3-evoked Ca2+ release in cells that did not show a Ca2+ rise in response to purinergic activation. The reduction in Ins(1,4,5)P3-evoked Ca2+ release was not mimicked by adenosine and therefore, cannot be explained by hydrolysis of ATP to adenosine. The reduction in Ins(1,4,5)P3-evoked Ca2+ release was, however, also observed with its primary metabolite, ADP, and blocked by the P2Y1R antagonist, MRS2179, and the G protein inhibitor, GDPβS, but not by PLC inhibition. The present study demonstrates a novel inhibitory effect of P2Y1R activation on Ins(1,4,5)P3-evoked Ca2+ release, such that purinergic stimulation acts to prevent Ins(1,4,5)P3-mediated increases in excitability in smooth muscle and promote relaxation.

Abstract
P2Y receptors are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are activated by adenine and uridine nucleotides and nucleotide sugars. There are eight subtypes of P2Y receptors (P2Y1, P2Y2, P2Y4, P2Y6, P2Y11, P2Y12, P2Y13, and P2Y14), which activate intracellular signaling cascades to regulate a variety of cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation, phagocytosis, secretion, nociception, cell adhesion, and cell migration. These signaling cascades operate mainly by the sequential activation or deactivation of heterotrimeric and monomeric G proteins, phospholipases, adenylyl and guanylyl cyclases, protein kinases, and phosphodiesterases. In addition, there are numerous ion channels, cell adhesion molecules, and receptor tyrosine kinases that are modulated by P2Y receptors and operate to transmit an extracellular signal to an intracellular response.

Abstract
Endothelial cells (ECs), forming a semi-permeable barrier between the interior space of blood vessels and underlying tissues, control such diverse processes as vascular tone, homeostasis, adhesion of platelets, and leukocytes to the vascular wall and permeability of vascular wall for cells and fluids. Mechanisms which govern the highly clinically relevant process of increased EC permeability are under intense investigation. It is well known that loss of this barrier (permeability increase) results in tissue inflammation, the hall mark of inflammatory diseases such as acute lung injury and its severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome. Little is known about processes which determine the endothelial barrier enhancement or protection against permeability increase. It is now well accepted that extracellular purines and pyrimidines are promising and physiologically relevant barrier-protective agents and their effects are mediated by interaction with cell surface P2Y receptors which belong to the superfamily of G-protein-coupled receptors. The therapeutic potential of P2Y receptors is rapidly expanding field in pharmacology and some selective agonists became recently available. Here, we present an overview of recently identified P2Y receptor agonists that enhance the pulmonary endothelial barrier and inhibit and/or reverse endothelial barrier disruption.

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
It is well-known that electrical field stimulation (EFS)-induced contraction is mediated by a cholinergic mechanism and other neurotransmitters. NO, ATP, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), and substance P are released by EFS. To investigate the purinergic mechanism involved in the EFS-induced contraction, purinegic receptors antagonists were used. Suramine, a non-selective P2 receptor antagonist, reduced the contraction induced by EFS. NF023 (10(-7)~10(-4) M), a selective P2X antagonist, inhibited the contraction evoked by EFS. Reactive blue (10(-6)~10(-4) M), selective P2Y antagonist, also blocked the contraction in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, P2X agonist α,β-methylene 5'-adenosine triphosphate (αβMeATP, 10(-7)~10(-5) M) potentiated EFS-induced contraction in a dose-dependent manner. P2Y agonist adenosine 5'-[β-thio]diphosphate trilithium salt (ADPβS, 10(-7)~10(-5) M) also potentiated EFS-induced contractions in a dose-dependent manner. Ecto-ATPase activator apyrase (5 and 10 U/ml) reduced EFS-induced contractions. Inversely, 6-N,N-diethyl-D-β,γ-dibromomethylene 5'-triphosphate triammonium (ARL 67156, 10(-4) M) increased EFS-induced contraction. These data suggest that endogenous ATP plays a role in EFS-induced contractions which are mediated through both P2X-receptors and P2Y-receptors stimulation in cat esophageal smooth muscle.

Abstract
Dinucleoside polyphosphates constitute a group of endogenous vasoregulatory purines and pyrimidines with a strong impact on physiologic and pathophysiologic processes of the cardiovascular system. Recently, the importance of dinucleoside polyphosphates in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and uremia gained increasing interest. Although our knowledge about the impact of dinucleoside polyphosphates in CKD and uremia is just at the beginning, this article reviews the current knowledge of the physiologic and pathophysiologic role of dinucleoside polyphosphates in CKD and uremia.

Abstract
Intracellular calcium dynamics are critical to cellular functions like pain transmission. Extracellular ATP plays an important role in modulating intracellular calcium levels by interacting with the P2 family of surface receptors. In this study, we developed a mechanistic mathematical model of ATP-induced P2 mediated calcium signaling in archetype sensory neurons. The model architecture, which described 90 species connected by 162 interactions, was formulated by aggregating disparate molecular modules from literature. Unlike previous models, only mass action kinetics were used to describe the rate of molecular interactions. Thus, the majority of the 252 unknown model parameters were either association, dissociation or catalytic rate constants. Model parameters were estimated from nine independent data sets taken from multiple laboratories. The training data consisted of both dynamic and steady-state measurements. However, because of the complexity of the calcium network, we were unable to estimate unique model parameters. Instead, we estimated a family or ensemble of probable parameter sets using a multi-objective thermal ensemble method. Each member of the ensemble met an error criterion and was located along or near the optimal trade-off surface between the individual training data sets. The model quantitatively reproduced experimental measurements from dorsal root ganglion neurons as a function of extracellular ATP forcing. Hypothesized architecture linking phosphoinositide regulation with P2X receptor activity explained the inhibition of P2X-mediated current flow by activated metabotropic P2Y receptors. Sensitivity analysis using individual and the whole system outputs suggested which molecular subsystems were most important following P2 activation. Taken together, modeling and analysis of ATP-induced P2 mediated calcium signaling generated qualitative insight into the critical interactions controlling ATP induced calcium dynamics. Understanding these critical interactions may prove useful for the design of the next generation of molecular pain management strategies.

Abstract
1. The epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC) is a major conductive pathway that transports Na(+) across the apical membrane of the distal nephron, the respiratory tract, the distal colon and the ducts of exocrine glands. The ENaC is regulated by hormonal and humoral factors, including extracellular nucleotides that are available from the epithelial cells themselves. 2. Extracellular nucleotides, via the P2Y2 receptors (P2Y2Rs) at the basolateral and apical membrane of the epithelia, trigger signalling systems that inhibit the activity of the ENaC and activate Ca(2+) -dependent Cl(-) secretion. 3. Recent data from our laboratory suggest that stimulation of the P2Y2Rs at the basolateral membrane inhibits ENaC activity by a signalling mechanism that involves G beta gamma subunits freed from a pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive G-protein and phospholipase C (PLC) beta 4. A similar signalling mechanism is also partially responsible for inhibition of the ENaC during activation of apical P2Y2Rs. 4. Stimulation of apical P2Y2Rs also activates an additional signalling mechanism that inhibits the ENaC and involves the activated Galpha subunit of a PTX-insensitive G-protein and activation of an unidentified PLC. The effect of this PTX-insensitive system requires the activity of the basolateral Na(+)/K(+)/2Cl(-) cotransporter.

Abstract
The purinergic system is composed of mononucleosides, mononucleoside polyphosphates and dinucleoside polyphosphates as agonists, as well as the respective purinergic receptors. Interest in the role of the purinergic system in cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology is on the rise. This review focuses on the overall impact of dinucleoside polyphosphates in the purinergic system. Platelets, adrenal glands, endothelial cells, cardiomyocytes and tubular cells release dinucleoside polyphosphates. Plasma concentrations of dinucleoside polyphosphates are sufficient to cause direct vasoregulatory effects and to induce proliferative effects on vascular smooth muscle cells and mesangial cells. In addition, increased plasma concentrations of a dinucleoside polyphosphate were recently demonstrated in juvenile hypertensive patients. In conclusion, the current literature accentuates the strong physiological and pathophysiological impact of dinucleoside polyphosphates on the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is coreleased with catecholamines from adrenal medullary chromaffin cells in response to sympathetic nervous system stimulation and may regulate these cells in an autocrine or paracrine manner. Increases in extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 phosphorylation were observed in response to ATP stimulation of bovine chromaffin cells. The signaling pathway involved in ATP-mediated ERK1/2 phosphorylation was investigated via Western blot analysis. ATP and uridine 5′-triphosphate (UTP) increased ERK1/2 phosphorylation potently, peaking between 5 and 15 min. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK/ERK)-activating kinase (MEK) inhibitor PD98059 blocked this response. UTP, which is selective for G-protein-coupled P2Y receptors, was the most potent agonist among several nucleotides tested. Adenosine 5′-O-(3-thio) triphosphate (ATPγS) and ATP were also potent agonists, characteristic of the P2Y2 or P2Y4 receptor subtypes, whereas agonists selective for P2X receptors or other P2Y receptor subtypes were weakly effective. The receptor involved was further characterized by the nonspecific P2 antagonists suramin and reactive blue 2, which each partially inhibited ATP-mediated ERK1/2 phosphorylation. Inhibitors of protein kinase C (PKC), protein kinase A (PKA), Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), and phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K) had no effect on ATP-mediated ERK1/2 phosphorylation. The Src inhibitor PP2, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor AG1478, and metalloproteinase inhibitor GM6001 decreased ATP-mediated ERK1/2 phosphorylation. These results suggest nucleotide-mediated ERK1/2 phosphorylation is mediated by a P2Y2 or P2Y4 receptor, which stimulates metalloproteinase-dependent transactivation of the EGFR.

Abstract
Our previous research showed that ATP and adenosine 5'-O-2-thiodiphosphate (ADPbetaS) induce contractile effects in the longitudinal muscle of mouse distal colon via activation of P2Y receptors which are not P2Y(1) or P2Y(12) subtypes. This study investigated the nature of the P2Y receptor subtype(s) and the mechanisms leading to the intracellular calcium concentration increase necessary to trigger muscular contraction. Motor responses of mouse colonic longitudinal muscle to P2Y receptor agonists were examined in vitro as changes in isometric tension. ATP or ADPbetaS induced muscular contraction, which was not affected by P2Y(11) or P2Y(13) selective antagonists. Calcium-free solution or the calcium channel blocker, nifedipine, failed to modify the contractile responses to ATP or ADPbetaS, which were virtually abolished by depletion of calcium intracellular stores after repetitive addition of carbachol in calcium-free medium with addition of cyclopiazonic acid. Neomycin or U-73122, phospholipase C inhibitors, or 2-aminoethoxy-diphenylborate (2-APB), membrane-permeant IP(3) receptor inhibitor reduced the response to ATP, whilst ryanodine or ruthenium red, inhibiting calcium release from ryanodine-sensitive stores, abolished the response to ADPbetaS. Responses to maximally effective concentrations of ATP and ADPbetaS were not fully additive. Desensitisation with ADPbetaS antagonized the contractile effects of ATP, as desensitisation with ATP antagonized the response to ADPbetaS. In the longitudinal muscle of mouse distal colon, ATP and ADPbetaS induce muscular contraction via a P2Y receptor, coupled to differential signal pathways leading to intracellular calcium increase.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated adhesion-induced changes in cellular responses to serotonin 5-HT(1D) and purinergic P2Y receptor stimulation. We demonstrated that detachment of LTK-8 cells increased 5-HT(1D) receptor-mediated intracellular Ca(2+) and extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation responses without affecting the adenylate cyclase response. Additionally, detachment enabled 5-HT(1D) receptor stimulation to inhibit P2Y receptor-induced [Ca(2+)](i) mobilization. Such a cross talk between the two receptor systems was not observed in attached cells. P2Y receptor-induced Ca(2+) response was insensitive to adhesion state of the cells, while ERK phosphorylation response was enhanced upon detachment. Integrity of the actin cytoskeleton did not appear to play a role in adhesion sensitivity of 5-HT(1D)-mediated responses, as treatment of attached cells with cytochalasin D did not mimic detachment-induced effects. Effects of detachment were reversed immediately after re-attachment of the suspended cells on poly-l-lysine coated cover slips, suggesting that the involvement of integrins or focal adhesion complexes is unlikely. Taken collectively, our results demonstrate that not only cellular responses induced by different G protein-coupled receptors, but also different responses induced by a particular G protein-coupled receptor, can be affected differentially by the adhesion status of cells. This suggests an important role for cell adhesion in controlling the coupling of a single G protein-coupled receptor to different intracellular responses.

Abstract
P2 purinoceptor modulation of injury during ischemia-reperfusion was studied in murine hearts. Effects of P2 agonism or antagonism, and interstitial accumulation of P2 agonists (UTP, ATP, and ADP), were assessed in Langendorff perfused hearts during 20 min of ischemia and 45 min of reperfusion. In control hearts, ventricular pressure development recovered to 68 +/- 4 mm Hg (63 +/- 3% baseline), diastolic pressure remained elevated (23 +/- 2 mm Hg), and 26 +/- 4 U/g lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was released during reperfusion, evidencing necrosis. Treatment with 250 nM UTP improved pressure development (85 +/- 5 mm Hg, or 77 +/- 2%) and reduced diastolic contracture (by approximately 70%, to 7 +/- 1 mm Hg) and LDH loss (by approximately 60%, to 11 +/- 2 U/g). In contrast, P2Y1 agonism with 50 nM 2-methyl-thio-ATP (2-MeSATP) was ineffective. In the presence of the P2Y antagonist suramin (10 or 200 microM), UTP no longer improved postischemic outcomes. Ischemia also substantially elevated interstitial [UTP], [ATP], and [ADP], potentially activating P2 receptors. This was supported in part by effects of antagonists: 200 microM suramin worsened LDH efflux (53 +/- 9 IU/g) and contractile dysfunction (41 +/- 2 mm Hg diastolic pressure; 28 +/- 3 mm Hg developed pressure), as did P2Y antagonism with either 10 or 100 microM reactive blue 2. However, a 10 microM concentration of suramin failed to alter outcome. P2X antagonism with 10 microM pyridoxal phosphate-6-azo-(benzene-2,4-disulfonic acid and P2X1-selective pyridoxal-alpha5-phosphate-6-phenylazo-4'-carboxylic acid (MRS2159) (30 microM) was ineffective. Data collectively support cardioprotection with low concentrations of UTP, and they are consistent with P2Y2 involvement. Endogenous nucleotides may also play a protective role, as evidenced by effects of P2 antagonists, although this warrants further investigation.

Abstract
Recent studies suggest that the activity of epithelial sodium channels (ENaC) is increased by phosphatidylinositides, especially phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P(2)) and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PI(3,4,5)P(3)). Stimulation of phospholipase C by either adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-activation of purinergic P2Y receptors or epidermal growth factor (EGF)-activation of EGF receptors reduces membrane PI(4,5)P(2), and consequently decreases ENaC activity. Since ATP and EGF may be trapped in cysts formed by the distal tubule, it is possible that ENaC inhibition induced by ATP and EGF facilitates cyst formation in polycystic kidney diseases (PKD). However, some results suggest that ENaC activity is increased in PKD. In contrast to P2Y and EGF receptors, stimulation of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) receptor by aldosterone or insulin produces PI(3,4,5)P(3), and consequently increases ENaC activity. The acute effect of aldosterone on ENaC activity through PI(3,4,5)P(3) possibly accounts for the initial feedback for blood volume recovery after hypovolemic hypotension. PI(4,5)P(2) and PI(3,4,5)P(3), respectively, interacts with the N terminus of beta-ENaC and the C terminus of gamma-ENaC. However, whether ENaC selectively binds to PI(4,5)P(2) and PI(3,4,5)P(3) over other anionic phospholipids remains unclear.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This study analysed the contribution of the purinergic system to enteric neurotransmission in the longitudinal muscle of mouse distal colon. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Motor responses to exogenous ATP and to nerve stimulation in vitro were assessed as changes in isometric tension. KEY RESULTS ATP induced a concentration-dependent contraction, reduced by 4-[[4-formyl-5-hydroxy-6-methyl-3-[(phosphonooxy)methyl]-2-pyridinyl]azo]-1,3-benzene disulphonic acid (PPADS), suramin, P2Y purinoreceptor desensitisation with adenosine 5'-O-2-thiodiphosphate (ADPbetaS), and atropine, but unaffected by P2X purinoceptor desensitisation with alpha,beta-methylene ATP (alpha,beta-meATP) and by 2,2-dimethyl-propionic acid 3-(2-chloro-6-methylaminopurin-9-yl)-2-(2,2-dimethyl-propionyloxymethyl)-propyl ester (MRS 2395), a P2Y(12) selective antagonist. The response to ATP was increased by 2'-deoxy-N(6)-methyl adenosine 3',5'-diphosphate (MRS 2179), a P2Y(1) selective antagonist, tetrodotoxin (TTX) or N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME). ADPbetaS, a P2Y-purinergic agonist, induced muscular contraction, with the same pharmacological profile as the ATP-induced contraction. ADP, a natural ligand for P2Y(1) receptors, induced muscular relaxation, antagonized by MRS 2179 and by TTX or L-NAME. Nerve stimulation elicited a transient nitrergic relaxation, followed by contraction. Contractile responses was reduced by atropine, PPADS, suramin, P2Y purinoceptor desensitisation, but not by P2X purinoceptor desensitisation, MRS 2179 or MRS 2395. None of the purinergic antagonists modified the nerve-evoked relaxation. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS In the longitudinal muscle of mouse distal colon, ATP, through ADPbetaS-sensitive P2Y purinoceptors, contributed to the excitatory neurotransmission acting directly on smooth muscle and indirectly via activation of cholinergic neurons. Moreover, P2Y1 purinoceptors appear to be located on nitrergic inhibitory neurons. This study provides new insights into the role of purines in the mechanism inducing intestinal transit in mouse colon.

Abstract
Extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) released from cellular sources plays an important role in variety of the cochlear physiologic processes. The primary purinergic receptor subtype in the cochlea is the P2X2 receptor, which is a subtype of P2X receptor. This receptor appears to mediate a protective decrease in the electrical driving force in response to acoustic overstimulation. Outer sulcus cells (OSCs) in the cochlear lateral wall appear to maintain an adequate K+ concentration in the cochlear endolymph in response to varying intensities of auditory stimulation. However, little is known about developing OSCs. The purpose of this study was to investigate subtypes of purinergic receptors in developing rat OSCs using a voltage-sensitive vibrating probe. Results showed that only two P2 receptors (P2Y4 and P2X2) contributed to the regulation of short circuit currents in neonatal OSCs. ATP increased cation absorption via apical nonselective cation channels after activating P2Y4 receptors in early neonatal OSCs. P2Y4 expression rapidly declined postnatally and reached near adult levels on postnatal day 14. P2X2 was co-expressed with P2Y4 in early neonatal OSCs. Temporal changes in P2Y4 during OSC development might be involved in the establishment of the endolymphatic ion composition needed for normal auditory transduction and/or specific cellular differentiation.

Abstract
There have been many advances in our knowledge about different aspects of P2Y receptor signaling since the last review published by our International Union of Pharmacology subcommittee. More receptor subtypes have been cloned and characterized and most orphan receptors de-orphanized, so that it is now possible to provide a basis for a future subdivision of P2Y receptor subtypes. More is known about the functional elements of the P2Y receptor molecules and the signaling pathways involved, including interactions with ion channels. There have been substantial developments in the design of selective agonists and antagonists to some of the P2Y receptor subtypes. There are new findings about the mechanisms underlying nucleotide release and ectoenzymatic nucleotide breakdown. Interactions between P2Y receptors and receptors to other signaling molecules have been explored as well as P2Y-mediated control of gene transcription. The distribution and roles of P2Y receptor subtypes in many different cell types are better understood and P2Y receptor-related compounds are being explored for therapeutic purposes. These and other advances are discussed in the present review.

Abstract
Phosphorylation of Ser19 on the 20-kDa regulatory light chain of myosin II (MLC20) by Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent myosin light-chain kinase (MLCK) is essential for initiation of smooth muscle contraction. The initial [Ca2+]i transient is rapidly dissipated and MLCK inactivated, whereas MLC20 and muscle contraction are well maintained. Sustained contraction does not reflect Ca2+ sensitization because complete inhibition of MLC phosphatase activity in the absence of Ca2+ induces smooth muscle contraction. This contraction is suppressed by staurosporine, implying participation of a Ca2+-independent MLCK. Thus, sustained contraction, as with agonist-induced contraction at experimentally fixed Ca2+ concentrations, involves (a) G protein activation, (b) regulated inhibition of MLC phosphatase, and (c) MLC20 phosphorylation via a Ca2+-independent MLCK. The pathways that lead to inhibition of MLC phosphatase by G(q/13)-coupled receptors are initiated by sequential activation of Galpha(q)/alpha13, RhoGEF, and RhoA, and involve Rho kinase-mediated phosphorylation of the regulatory subunit of MLC phosphatase (MYPT1) and/or PKC-mediated phosphorylation of CPI-17, an endogenous inhibitor of MLC phosphatase. Sustained MLC20 phosphorylation is probably induced by the Ca2+-independent MLCK, ZIP kinase. The pathways initiated by G(i)-coupled receptors involve sequential activation of Gbetagamma(i), PI 3-kinase, and the Ca2+-independent MLCK, integrin-linked kinase. The last phosphorylates MLC20 directly and inhibits MLC phosphatase by phosphorylating CPI-17. PKA and PKG, which mediate relaxation, act upstream to desensitize the receptors (VPAC2 and NPR-C), inhibit adenylyl and guanylyl cyclase activities, and stimulate cAMP-specific PDE3 and PDE4 and cGMP-specific PDE5 activities. These kinases also act downstream to inhibit (a) initial contraction by inhibiting Ca2+ mobilization and (b) sustained contraction by inhibiting RhoA and targets downstream of RhoA. This increases MLC phosphatase activity and induces MLC20 dephosphorylation and muscle relaxation.

Abstract
ATP is proposed to be a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, causing hyperpolarization and smooth muscle relaxation. ATP activates small-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels that are involved in setting the resting membrane potential and causing inhibitory junction potentials. No reports are available examining the effects of ATP on voltage-dependent inward currents in GI smooth muscle cells. We previously reported two types of voltage-dependent inward currents in murine proximal colonic myocytes: a low-threshold voltage-activated, nonselective cation current (I(VNSCC)) and a relatively high-threshold voltage-activated (L-type) Ca(2+) current (I(L)). Here we have investigated the effects of ATP on these currents. External application of ATP (1 mM) did not affect I(VNSCC) or I(L) in dialyzed cells. ATP (1 mM) increased I(VNSCC) and decreased I(L) in the perforated whole-cell configuration. UTP and UDP (1 mM) were more potent than ATP on I(VNSCC). ADP decreased I(L) but had no effect on I(VNSCC). The order of effectiveness was UTP = UDP > ATP > ADP. These effects were not blocked by pyridoxal phosphate-6-azo(benzene-2,4-disulfonic acid) (PPADS), but the phospholipase C inhibitor U-73122 reversed the effects of ATP on I(VNSCC). ATP stimulation of I(VNSCC) was also reversed by protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors chelerythrine chloride or bisindolylmaleimide I. Phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate mimicked the effects of ATP. RT-PCR showed that P2Y(4) is expressed by murine colonic myocytes, and this receptor is relatively insensitive to PPADS. Our data suggest that ATP activates I(VNSCC) and depresses I(L) via binding of P2Y(4) receptors and stimulation of the phospholipase C/PKC pathway.

Abstract
P2 receptors for extracellular nucleotides are divided into two categories: the ion channel receptors (P2X) and the G-protein-coupled receptors (P2Y). For the P2X receptors, signal transduction appears to be relatively simple. Upon activation by extracellular ATP, a channel comprised of P2X receptor subunits opens and allows cations to move across the plasma membrane, resulting in changes in the electrical potential of the cell that, in turn, propagates a signal. This regulated flux of ions across the plasma membrane has important signaling functions, especially in impulse propagation in the nervous system and in muscle contractility. In addition, P2X receptor activation causes the accumulation of calcium ions in the cytoplasm, which is responsible for activating numerous signaling molecules. For the P2Y receptors, signal transduction is more complex. Intracellular signaling cascades are the main routes of communication between G-protein-coupled receptors and regulatory targets within the cell. These signaling cascades operate mainly by the sequential activation or deactivation of heterotrimeric and monomeric G proteins, phospholipases, protein kinases, adenylyl and guanylyl cyclases, and phosphodiesterases that regulate many cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, metabolism, secretion, and cell migration. In addition, there are numerous ion channels, cell adhesion molecules and receptor tyrosine kinases that are modulated by P2Y receptors and operate to transmit an extracellular signal to an intracellular response. These intracellular signaling pathways and their regulation by P2 receptors are discussed in this review.

Abstract
The expression and mechanisms of action of Y receptors were examined in dispersed intestinal smooth muscle cells of the rabbit. The mixed Y1/Y2 agonists, NPY and PYY, and the Y2 agonist, NPY13-36, elicited concentration-dependent contraction of circular muscle cells that was inhibited by the selective Y2 antagonist, BIIE 0246. The Y4 agonist, PP, elicited similar, though weaker, contraction that was insensitive to Y1 and Y2 antagonists. The Y1 agonist, [Leu31, Pro34]NPY, did not elicit contraction of circular muscle cells. All Y receptor agonists inhibited cAMP formation in a PTx-sensitive fashion. In contrast, none of the agonists caused contraction of longitudinal muscle cells, and only the mixed Y1/Y2 agonists, NPY and PYY, and the Y1 agonist, [Leu31, Pro34]NPY, inhibited cAMP formation and VIP-induced muscle cell relaxation. 125I-PYY binding in longitudinal muscle cells was inhibited by NPY, PYY, [Leu31, Pro34]NPY and the Y1 antagonist, BIBP 3226. Contraction of circular but not longitudinal muscle cells by Y2 and Y4 agonists was observed also in cells isolated from human jejunum. The results indicate that Y2 and Y4 receptors are present only in intestinal circular muscle cells where they mediate contraction that is insensitive to PTx or Ca2+ channel blockers. Y1 receptors, negatively coupled to adenylyl cyclase, are present in cells from both layers.

Abstract
To clarify the function of P2 receptor subtypes in mouse stomach, the motor responses to ATP, alpha,beta-methyleneATP (alpha,beta-MeATP), P2X receptor agonist, 2-methylthioATP (2-MeSATP), P2Y receptor agonist, and the effects of the desensitisation of P2X receptors with alpha,beta-MeATP and of P2Y receptors with ADPbetaS were analysed recording the endoluminal pressure from whole-organ. ATP-induced relaxation was antagonised by suramin, non-selective P2 receptor antagonist, by desensitisation of P2Y receptors with ADPbetaS, and increased by desensitisation of P2X receptors with alpha,beta-MeATP. alpha,beta-MeATP produced biphasic responses: relaxation, reduced by P2X- or P2Y desensitisation, and contraction, almost abolished by P2X desensitisation and potentiated by P2Y desensitisation. 2-MeSATP induced relaxation, which was antagonised by P2Y desensitisation and increased by P2X desensitisation. Tetrodotoxin increased the relaxation induced by purines and deeply antagonised the contraction to alpha,beta-MeATP. Our results suggest that in mouse stomach are present muscular P2Y receptors, subserving relaxation, and neuronal presynaptic P2X receptors, mediating contraction.

Abstract
The signaling cascades initiated by motilin receptors in gastric and intestinal smooth muscle cells were characterized. Motilin bound with high affinity (IC(50) 0.7 +/- 0.2 nM) to receptors on smooth muscle cells; the receptors were rapidly internalized via G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2). Motilin selectively activated G(q) and G(13), stimulated G alpha(q)-dependent phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis and 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3))-dependent Ca(2+) release, and increased cytosolic free Ca(2+). PI hydrolysis was blocked by expression of G alpha(q) minigene and augmented by overexpression of dominant negative RGS4(N88S) or GRK2(K220R). Motilin induced a biphasic, concentration-dependent contraction (EC(50) = 1.0 +/- 0.2 nM), consisting of an initial peak followed by a sustained contraction. The initial Ca(2+)-dependent contraction and myosin light-chain (MLC)(20) phosphorylation were inhibited by the PLC inhibitor U-73122 and the MLC kinase inhibitor ML-9 but were not affected by the Rho kinase inhibitor Y27632 or the PKC inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide. Sustained contraction and MLC(20) phosphorylation were RhoA dependent and mediated by two downstream messengers: PKC and Rho kinase. The latter was partly inhibited by expression of G alpha(q) or G alpha(13) minigene and abolished by coexpression of both minigenes. Sustained contraction and MLC(20) phosphorylation were partly inhibited by Y27632 and bisindolylmaleimide and abolished by a combination of both inhibitors. The inhibition reflected phosphorylation of two MLC phosphatase inhibitors: CPI-17 via PKC and MYPT1 via Rho kinase. We conclude that motilin initiates a G alpha(q)-mediated cascade involving Ca(2+)/calmodulin activation of MLC kinase and transient MLC(20) phosphorylation and contraction as well as a sustained G alpha(q)- and G alpha(13)-mediated, RhoA-dependent cascade involving phosphorylation of CPI-17 by PKC and MYPT1 by Rho kinase, leading to inhibition of MLC phosphatase and sustained MLC(20) phosphorylation and contraction.

Abstract
The mechanism of phospholipase (PLC)-delta activation by G protein-coupled receptor agonists was examined in rabbit gastric smooth muscle. Ca(2+) stimulated an eightfold increase in PLC-delta1 activity in permeabilized muscle cells. Treatment of dispersed or cultured muscle cells with three G(i/o)-coupled receptor agonists (somatostatin, delta-opioid agonist [D-Pen(2),D-Pen(5)]enkephalin, and A(1) agonist cyclopentyl adenosine) caused delayed increase in phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis (8- to 10-fold) that was strongly inhibited by overexpression of dominant-negative PLC-delta1(E341R/D343R; 65-76%) or constitutively active RhoA(G14V). The response coincided with capacitative Ca(2+) influx and was not observed in the absence of extracellular Ca(2+), but was partly inhibited by nifedipine (16-30%) and strongly inhibited by SKF-96365, a blocker of store-operated Ca(2+) channels. Treatment of the cells with a G(q/13)-coupled receptor agonist, CCK-8, caused only transient, PLC-beta1-mediated PI hydrolysis. Unlike G(i/o)-coupled receptor agonists, CCK-8 activated RhoA and stimulated RhoA:PLC-delta1 association. Inhibition of RhoA activity with C3 exoenzyme or by overexpression of dominant-negative RhoA(T19N) or Galpha(13) minigene unmasked a delayed increase in PI hydrolysis that was strongly inhibited by coexpression of PLC-delta1(E341R/D343R) or by SKF-96365. Agonist-independent capacitative Ca(2+) influx induced by thapsigargin stimulated PI hydrolysis (8-fold), which was partly inhibited by nifedipine ( approximately 25%) and strongly inhibited by SKF-96365 ( approximately 75%) and in cells expressing PLC-delta1(E341R/D343R). Agonist-independent Ca(2+) release or Ca(2+) influx via voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels stimulated only moderate PI hydrolysis (2- to 3-fold), which was abolished by PLC-delta1 antibody or nifedipine. We conclude that PLC-delta1 is activated by G(i/o)-coupled receptor agonists that do not activate RhoA. The activation is preferentially mediated by Ca(2+) influx via store-operated Ca(2+) channels.

Abstract
We analyzed the signaling pathways initiated by endothelin receptors ETAand ETBin intestinal circular and longitudinal smooth muscle cells. The response to endothelin-1 (ET-1) consisted of two phases in both cell types. The initial, transient phase of contraction and phosphorylation of 20-kDa myosin light chain (MLC20) was mediated additively by ETAand ETBreceptors and initiated by Gαq-, Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent activation of MLC kinase. In contrast, the sustained phase was mediated selectively by ETAreceptors via a pathway involving sequential activation of Gα13, RhoA, and Rho kinase, resulting in phosphorylation of MYPT1 at Thr696and phosphorylation of MLC20. Although PKC was activated, CPI-17 was not phosphorylated and hence did not contribute to inhibition of MLC phosphatase. The absence of CPI-17 phosphorylation by PKC reflected active dephosphorylation of CPI-17 by protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A). PP2A was activated via a pathway involving ETB-dependent stimulation of p38 MAPK activity. CPI-17 phosphorylation was unmasked in the presence of the ETBantagonist BQ-788, but not the ETAantagonist BQ-123, and in the presence of a low concentration of okadaic acid, which selectively inactivates PP2A. The resultant phosphorylation of CPI-17 was blocked by bisindolylmaleimide, providing direct confirmation that it was PKC dependent. We conclude that the two phases of the intestinal smooth muscle response to ET-1 involve distinct receptors, G proteins, and signaling pathways. The sustained response is mediated via selective ETA-dependent phosphorylation of MYPT1. In contrast, ETBinitiates an inhibitory pathway involving p38 MAPK-dependent activation of PP2A that causes dephosphorylation of CPI-17.

Abstract
Coexpression of Y1, Y2, and Y4 receptors on smooth muscle cells was determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, and the receptors were characterized by radioligand binding, selective receptor protection, and functional analysis of signaling pathways. 125I-peptide YY (PYY) binding was completely inhibited by neuropeptide Y (NPY) and PYY, and partially inhibited by the Y1 agonist [Leu31, Pro34]NPY or the Y2 agonist NPY13-36. In cells where Y1 receptors were preserved by selective receptor protection, 125I-PYY binding was selectively inhibited by the Y1 agonist or antagonist BIBP 3226 [(R)-N2-(diphenylacetyl)-N-[(4-hydroxyphenyl)methyl]-D-arginine-amide]. Conversely, in cells where Y2 receptors were preserved, 125I-PYY binding was selectively inhibited by the Y2 agonist or antagonist BIIE 0246 [(S)N2-[1-[2-[4-[(R,S)-5,11-dihydro-6(66H)-oxodibenz[b,e]azepin-11-y]-1piperazinyl]-2-oxoethyl]cyclopentyl]acetyl]-N-[2-[1,2-dihydro-35(4H)-dioxo-1,2-diphenyl-3H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl]ethyl]-argininamide]. All Y receptors activated preferentially Gi2, but only Y2 and Y4 receptors activated Gq. Consequently, Y2 agonists (NPY, PYY, and NPY13-36) and the Y4 agonist (pancreatic polypeptide) induced concentration-dependent contraction, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) formation, and increase in cytosolic free Ca2+. Contraction induced by Y2 and Y4 agonists was not affected by 0 Ca2+, Ca2+ channel blockers, or pertussis toxin (PTx), but it was abolished by thapsigargin, U73122 [1-(6-(17beta-3-methoxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-yl)amino)hexyl)-1H-pyrrole-25-dione], or the myosin light chain kinase inhibitor ML-9 [1-(5-chloronaphthalene-1-sulfonyl)homopiperazine, HCl]. Y2-mediated contraction was inhibited by the selective Y2 antagonist BIIE 0246. Insensitivity to PTx implied that the coupling to Gi did not initiate (Y1) or contribute (Y2 and Y4) to contraction. All Y receptor agonists inhibited cAMP formation in a PTx-sensitive manner. The patterns of contraction and inhibition of cAMP by various Y receptors were corroborated by selective receptor protection. The study demonstrates coexpression of Y1, Y2, and Y4 receptors on smooth muscle negatively coupled to adenylyl cyclase via Gi2. Coupling of Y2 and Y4 receptors to Gq determines their ability to induce IP3-dependent Ca2+ release and initiate contraction.

Abstract
ATP is thought to be an initiator and modulator of noxious pain sensation. We employed two-photon photolysis to apply ATP locally and transiently, thus mimicking ATP release upon cell damage or exocytosis. Using this technique, an increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was induced via P2Y receptors in individual sensory neurons, or in a neurite region. The ATP-induced [Ca2+]i rise was attenuated by applications of either a phospholipase C inhibitor, or inhibitors for IP3 or ryanodine receptors. These results indicate that intracellular Ca2+ stores play a major role in contributing to the increase in [Ca2+]i. Spatiotemporal analysis revealed that local and transient applications of ATP increased [Ca2+]i by release from intracellular stores, but in a unique, graded, and synchronized manner. 1) As the duration of local ATP application was prolonged, the latency decreased and the magnitude of the [Ca2+]i rise increased; 2) The time course of the rising phase of the [Ca2+]i response to ATP was essentially the same over the cell body, once [Ca2+]i had started to rise. It is anticipated that sensory responses may be modulated variably, depending on the spatiotemporal characteristics of the ATP-related [Ca2+]i profile.

Abstract
We examined expression of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptors and sphingosine kinase (SPK) in gastric smooth muscle cells and characterized signaling pathways mediating S1P-induced 20-kDa myosin light chain (MLC20) phosphorylation and contraction. RT-PCR demonstrated expression of SPK1 and SPK2 and S1P1and S1P2receptors. S1P activated Gq, G13, and all Giisoforms and stimulated PLC-β1, PLC-β3, and Rho kinase activities. PLC-β activity was partially inhibited by pertussis toxin (PTX), Gβ or Gαqantibody, PLC-β1 or PLC-β3 antibody, and by expression of Gαqor Gαiminigene, and was abolished by a combination of antibodies or minigenes. S1P-stimulated Rho kinase activity was partially inhibited by expression of Gα13or Gαqminigene and abolished by expression of both. S1P stimulated Ca2+release that was inhibited by U-73122 and heparin and induced concentration-dependent contraction of smooth muscle cells (EC501 nM). Initial contraction and MLC20phosphorylation were abolished by U-73122 and MLC kinase (MLCK) inhibitor ML-9. Initial contraction was also partially inhibited by PTX and Gαqor Gβ antibody and abolished by a combination of both antibodies. In contrast, sustained contraction and MLC20phosphorylation were partially inhibited by a PKC or Rho kinase inhibitor (bisindolylmaleimide and Y-27632) and abolished by a combination of both inhibitors but not affected by U-73122 or ML-9. These results indicate that S1P induces 1) initial contraction mediated by S1P2and S1P1involving concurrent activation of PLC-β1 and PLC-β3 via Gαqand Gβγi, respectively, resulting in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-dependent Ca2+release and MLCK-mediated MLC20phosphorylation, and 2) sustained contraction exclusively mediated by S1P2involving activation of RhoA via Gαqand Gα13, resulting in Rho kinase- and PKC-dependent MLC20phosphorylation.

Abstract
Extracellular nucleotides exert autocrine/ paracrine effects on ion transport by activating P2 receptors. We studied the effects of extracellular ATP and UTP on the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel stably expressed in Chinese Hamster Ovary cells (CHO-BQI cells). CFTR activity was measured using the (125I) iodide efflux technique and whole-cell patch-clamp recording in response to either forskolin or xanthine derivatives. Using RT-PCR and intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) measurement, we showed that CHO-BQI cells express P2Y2 but not P2Y4 receptors. While ATP and UTP induced similar increases in [Ca2+]i, pre-addition by one of these two agonists desensitized the response for the other, suggesting that ATP- and UTP-induced [Ca2+]i increases were mediated by a common receptor, which was identified as the P2Y2 subtype. CFTR activity was reduced by ATP and UTP but not by ADP or adenosine applications. This inhibitory effect of ATP on CFTR activity was not due to a change in cAMP level. Furthermore, CFTR activation by forskolin or IBMX failed to promote [Ca2+]i increase, suggesting that CFTR activation did not generate an ATP release large enough to stimulate P2Y2 receptors. Taken together, our results show that endogenous P2Y2 receptor activation downregulates CFTR activity in a cAMP-independent manner in CHO cells.

Abstract
Signalling via m3 and m2 receptors in smooth muscles involved activation of two G-protein-dependent pathways by each receptor. m2 receptors were coupled via Gbetagammai3 with activation of phospholipase C-beta3, phosphoinositide 3-kinase and Cdc42/Rac1 (where Cdc stands for cell division cycle) and p21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1), resulting in phosphorylation and inactivation of myosin light chain kinase (MLCK). Each step was inhibited by methoctramine and pertussis toxin. PAK1 activity was abolished in cells expressing both Cdc42-DN (where DN stands for dominant negative) and Rac1-DN. MLCK phosphorylation was inhibited by PAK1 antibody, and in cells expressing Cdc42-DN and Rac1-DN. m3 receptors were coupled via Galpha(q/11) with activation of phospholipase C-beta1 and via RhoA with activation of Rho-associated kinase (Rho kinase), phospholipase D and protein kinase C (PKC). Rho kinase and phospholipase D activities were inhibited by C3 exoenzyme and in cells expressing RhoA-DN. PKC activity was inhibited by bisindolylmaleimide, and in cells expressing RhoA-DN; PKC activity was also inhibited partly by Y27632 (44+/-5%). PKC-induced phosphorylation of PKC-activated 17 kDa inhibitor protein of type 1 phosphatase (CPI-17) at Thr38 was abolished by bisindolylmaleimide and inhibited partly by Y27632 (28+/-3%). Rho-kinase-induced phosphorylation of myosin phosphatase targeting subunit (MYPT1) and was abolished by Y27632. Sustained phosphorylation of 20 kDa regulatory light chain of myosin II (MLC20) and contraction were abolished by bisindolylmaleimide Y27632 and C3 exoenzyme and in cells expressing RhoA-DN. The results suggest that Rho-kinase-dependent phosphorylation of MYPT1 and PKC-dependent phosphorylation and enhancement of CPI-17 binding to the catalytic subunit of MLC phosphatase (MLCP) act co-operatively to inhibit MLCP activity, leading to sustained stimulation of MLC20 phosphorylation and contraction. Because Y27632 inhibited both Rho kinase and PKC activities, it could not be used to ascertain the contribution of MYPT1 to inhibition of MLCP activity. m2-dependent phosphorylation and inactivation of MLCK precluded its involvement in sustained MLC20 phosphorylation and contraction.

Abstract
A mathematical account is given of the processes governing the time courses of calcium ions (Ca2+), inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) in single cells following the application of external agonist to metabotropic receptors. A model is constructed that incorporates the regulation of metabotropic receptor activity, the G-protein cascade and the Ca2+ dynamics in the cytosol. It is subsequently used to reproduce observations on the extent of desensitization and sequestration of the P(2)Y(2) receptor following its activation by uridine triphosphate (UTP). The theory predicts the dependence on agonist concentration of the change in the number of receptors in the membrane as well as the time course of disappearance of receptors from the plasmalemma, upon exposure to agonist. In addition, the extent of activation and desensitization of the receptor, using the calcium transients in cells initiated by exposure to agonist, is also predicted. Model predictions show the significance of membrane PIP(2) depletion and resupply on the time course of IP(3) and Ca2+ levels. Results of the modelling also reveal the importance of receptor recycling and PIP(2) resupply for maintaining Ca2+ and IP(3) levels during sustained application of agonist.

Abstract
Tubulin modifies G-protein signaling and heterotrimeric G-proteins regulate microtubule assembly. Here we report an interplay among G-protein-coupled receptor and receptor tyrosine kinase (such as nerve growth factor-NGF) signaling systems in PC12 pheochromocytoma cells that resulted in a translocation of Galpha(s), Galpha(i1), and Galpha(o) from cell bodies to cellular processes where they appear to localize with tubulin-containing structures. This relocation appeared to depend on the integrity of microtubules, as it was blocked and reversed by nocodazole. Latrunculin, which promotes actin filament depolymerization, had no effect. Both deconvolution microscopy and immunoprecipitation showed a significant increase of Galpha association with microtubules that was coincident with the extension of "neurites." There were distinctions among the Galpha subtypes, with Galpha(s) showing the most profound NGF-induced colocalization with tubulin. Translocation of Galpha was blocked by agents that inhibit the MAP kinases required for neuronal differentiation, suggesting that G-protein relocation is triggered by the intracellular signals for differentiation. Consistent with this, Galpha in Neuro-2A cells, which spontaneously differentiate, showed a similar translocation coincident with differentiation. Thus, diverse signals that promote neuronal differentiation and changes in cell morphology may use specific G-proteins to evoke cytoskeletal rearrangement.

Abstract
1. G protein-linked P2Y nucleotide receptors are known commonly to stimulate the phosphoinositide signalling pathway. However, we have previously demonstrated that the cloned P2Y(2), P2Y(6) and P2Y(1) receptors couple to neuronal N-type Ca(2+) channels and to M-type K(+) channels. Here we investigate the coupling of recombinant, neuronally expressed rat- and human P2Y(4) receptors (rP2Y(4), hP2Y(4)) to those channels. 2. Rat sympathetic neurones were nuclear-injected with a P2Y(4) cDNA plasmid. A subsequent activation of rP2Y(4) or hP2Y(4) by UTP (100 micro M) in whole-cell (ruptured-patch) mode produced only about 12% inhibition of the N-type Ca(2+) current (I(Ca(N))). Surprisingly, in perforated patch mode, UTP produced much more inhibition of I(Ca(N)) (maximally 51%), with an IC(50) value of 273 nM. This inhibition was voltage-dependent and was blocked by co-expression of the betagamma-binding transducin Galpha-subunit. Pertussis toxin (PTX) pretreatment also suppressed I(Ca(N)) inhibition. 3. UTP inhibited the M-current, recorded in perforated patch mode, by (maximally) 52%, with IC(50) values of 21 nM for rP2Y(4) and 28 nM for hP2Y(4). This inhibition was not affected by PTX pretreatment. 4. With rP2Y(4), ATP inhibited the M-current (IC(50) 524 nM, 26 times weaker than UTP), whereas ATP had no agonist activity at hP2Y(4). This suggests a difference in agonist binding site between rP2Y(4) and hP2Y(4). 5. We conclude that, in contrast to other nucleotide receptors studied, the P2Y(4) receptor couples much more effectively to M-type K(+) channels than to Ca(2+) channels. Coupling to the Ca(2+) channels involves the betagamma-subunits of G(i/o)-proteins and requires a diffusible intracellular component that is lost in ruptured-patch recording.

Abstract
It has been known that endothelin-1 (ET-1) exerts important actions in gastrointestinal smooth muscle motility, but its precise mechanism remains unsolved. We investigated the intracellular mechanism of ET-1-induced circular smooth muscle cell contraction in cat esophagus. ET-1 produced contraction of smooth muscle cells isolated by enzymatic digestion. The contraction in response to ET-1 was concentration-dependent. Pertussis toxin (PTX) blocked contraction induced by ET-1 in intact cells. To identify the specific G protein involved in the contraction, muscle cells were permeabilized with saponin. The G(i3) or G(beta) protein antibody inhibited the contraction. Neomycin phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor inhibited the contraction, but 7,7-dimethyleicosadienoic acid (phospholipase A(2) inhibitor) and p-chloromercuribenzoic acid (phospholipase D inhibitor) had no effects. Incubation of permeabilized cells with PLC-beta(3) isozyme antibody inhibited the contraction. 1-(5-Isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine, chelerythrine [protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor], or genistein (protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor) inhibited the contraction, but not by diacylglycerol (DAG) kinase inhibitor, R59949. To test whether the contraction may be PKC isozyme-specific, we examined the effect of PKC isozymes antibodies on the contraction. PKC-epsilon antibody inhibited the contraction. To characterize further the specific PKC isozymes that mediate the contraction, we used, as an inhibitor, N-myristoylated peptides (myr-PKC) derived from the pseudosubstrate sequences of PKC-alphabetagamma, -alpha, -delta, or -epsilon. myr-PKC-epsilon inhibited the contraction, confirming that PKC-epsilon isozyme is involved in the contraction. To examine whether mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) mediate the contraction, specific MAPK inhibitors [MAPK kinase inhibitor, PD98059, (2'-amino-3'-methoxy-flavone), and p38 MAPK inhibitor, SB202190 (4-4-fluorophenyl) 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-(4-pyridyl)1H-imidazole)] were used. PD98059 or SB202190 blocked the contraction. ET-1 increased the intensity of the detection bands identified by immunological methods as MAPK monoclonal p44/p42 peptides. PD98059 decreased the intensity of the detection bands compared with ET-1. In conclusion, ET-1-induced contraction in cat esophageal circular muscle cells depends on PTX-sensitive G(i3) protein and PLC-beta(3) isozyme, resulting in the activation of PKC-epsilon- or protein-tyrosine kinase-dependent pathway, subsequently mediating the activation of p44/p42 MAPK or p38 MAPK pathway.
