Abstract
Infectious agents such as human immune deficiency virus-1 (HIV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) use host proteins to infect, replicate, and induce inflammation within the host. A critical component of these diseases is the axis between pannexin-1 channels, extracellular ATP, and purinergic receptors. Here, we describe the potential therapeutic role of Pannexin-1/purinergic approaches to prevent or reduce the devastating consequences of these pathogens.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) rapidly rampaged worldwide, causing a pandemic of coronavirus disease (COVID -19), but the biology of SARS-CoV-2 remains under investigation. We demonstrate that both SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and human coronavirus 229E (hCoV-229E) or its purified S protein, one of the main viruses responsible for the common cold, induce the transient opening of Pannexin-1 (Panx-1) channels in human lung epithelial cells. However, the Panx-1 channel opening induced by SARS-CoV-2 is greater and more prolonged than hCoV-229E/S protein, resulting in an enhanced ATP, PGE2, and IL-1β release. Analysis of lung lavages and tissues indicate that Panx-1 mRNA expression is associated with increased ATP, PGE2, and IL-1β levels. Panx-1 channel opening induced by SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2), endocytosis, and furin dependent. Overall, we demonstrated that Panx-1 channel is a critical contributor to SARS-CoV-2 infection and should be considered as an alternative therapy.

Abstract
Extracellular ATP works as an autocrine and/or paracrine signaling molecule by activating plasma membrane-localized purinergic receptors. Stimulation of purinergic P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) increases cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]c), which in turn activates Pannexin 1 (Panx1) channel. In earlier studies, Panx1 and P2X7R have been shown to interact physically. Also, both the channels have been implicated in similar pathophysiological processes. In this study, we investigated the effect of Panx1 on P2X7R-mediated Ca2+influx. Panx1 attenuated P2X7R-mediated [Ca2+]c rise in CHO-K1 and HEK-293 cells. [Ca2+]c rise was higher in Panx1 knockdown astrocytes. The inhibitory effect was unaffected in the presence of Panx1 blocker, carbenoxolone. The region between 350th and 386th amino acid residues in the carboxyl terminus (CT) of Panx1 was found to be crucial for inhibiting P2X7R. Like full-length Panx1, the CT (350th to 426th amino acids) alone was able to attenuate the [Ca2+]c rise. Further, CT prevented cell death caused by P2X7R overactivation. Based on our results, we propose a novel pro-survival role of Panx1 exerted by modulating P2X7R.

Abstract
Microglia, the resident immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS), constantly survey the surrounding neural parenchyma and promptly respond to brain injury. Activation of purinergic receptors such as P2Y12 receptors (P2Y12R) in microglia has been implicated in chemotaxis toward ATP that is released by injured neurons and astrocytes. Activation of microglial P2Y12R elicits outward potassium current that is associated with microglial chemotaxis in response to injury. This study aimed at investigating the identity of the potassium channel implicated in microglial P2Y12R-mediated chemotaxis following neuronal injury and understanding the purinergic signaling pathway coupled to the channel. Using a combination of two-photon imaging, electrophysiology and genetic tools, we found the ATP-induced outward current to be largely dependent on P2Y12R activation and mediated by G-proteins. Similarly, P2Y12R-coupled outward current was also evoked in response to laser-induced single neuron injury. This current was abolished in microglia obtained from mice lacking P2Y12R. Dissecting the properties of the P2Y12R-mediated current using a pharmacological approach revealed that both the ATP and neuronal injury-induced outward current in microglia was sensitive to quinine (1mM) and bupivacaine (400μM), but not tetraethylammonium (TEA) (10mM) and 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) (5mM). These results suggest that the quinine/bupivacaine-sensitive potassium channels are the functional effectors of the P2Y12R-mediated signaling in microglia activation following neuronal injury.

Would calcium or potassium channels be responsible for cardiac arrest produced by adenosine and ATP in the right atria of Wistar rats? Eur J Pharmacol 2015; 768:199-206.

Abstract
Autonomic nerves release ATP, which is processed into adenosine in the synaptic cleft. Adenosine and ATP exert a negative chronotropic effect in the heart. This study aims to evaluate adenosine and P2 receptors and cellular signalling in cardiac arrest produced by purines in the heart. Right atria of adult Wistar rats were used to evaluate the effects of adenosine, ATP and CPA (an adenosine A1 receptor agonist), in the presence and absence of DPCPX, an adenosine A1 receptor antagonist. Effects of adenosine A2 and A3 receptors agonists and antagonists were also investigated. Finally, involvement of calcium and potassium channels in these responses was assessed using BayK 8644 and 4-Aminopyridine. Cumulative concentration-effect curves of adenosine and CPA resulted in a negative chronotropic effect culminating in cardiac arrest at 1000μM (adenosine) and 1µM (CPA). Furthermore, ATP produced a negative chronotropic effect at 1-300µM and cardiac arrest at 1000μM in the right atrium. ATPγS (a non-hydrolysable analogue of ATP) reduced chronotropism only. The effects of adenosine, CPA and ATP were inhibited by DPCPX, a selective adenosine A1 receptor antagonist. The selective adenosine A2 and A3 receptors antagonists did not alter the chronotropic response of adenosine. 4-Aminopyridine, a blocker of potassium channels at 10mM, prevented the cardiac arrest produced by adenosine and ATP, while BayK 8644, activator of calcium channels, did not prevent cardiac arrest. Adenosine A1 receptor activation by adenosine and ATP produces cardiac arrest in the right atrium of Wistar rats predominantly through activation of potassium channels.

Abstract
The G protein β subunit Gβ5 uniquely forms heterodimers with R7 family regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins (RGS6, RGS7, RGS9, and RGS11) instead of Gγ. Although the Gβ5-RGS7 complex attenuates Ca(2+) signaling mediated by the muscarinic M3 receptor (M3R), the route of Ca(2+) entry (i.e., release from intracellular stores and/or influx across the plasma membrane) is unknown. Here, we show that, in addition to suppressing carbachol-stimulated Ca(2+) release, Gβ5-RGS7 enhanced Ca(2+) influx. This novel effect of Gβ5-RGS7 was blocked by nifedipine and 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate. Experiments with pertussis toxin, an RGS domain-deficient mutant of RGS7, and UBO-QIC {L-threonine,(3R)-N-acetyl-3-hydroxy-L-leucyl-(aR)-a-hydroxybenzenepropanoyl-2,3-idehydro-N-methylalanyl-L-alanyl-N-methyl-L-alanyl-(3R)-3-[[(2S,3R)-3-hydroxy-4- methyl-1-oxo-2-[(1-oxopropyl)amino]pentyl]oxy]-L-leucyl-N,O-dimethyl-,(7→1)-lactone (9CI)}, a novel inhibitor of Gq, showed that Gβ5-RGS7 modulated a Gq-mediated pathway. These studies indicate that Gβ5-RGS7, independent of RGS7 GTPase-accelerating protein activity, couples M3R to a nifedipine-sensitive Ca(2+) channel. We also compared the action of Gβ5-RGS7 on M3R-induced Ca(2+) influx and release elicited by different muscarinic agonists. Responses to Oxo-M [oxotremorine methiodide N,N,N,-trimethyl-4-(2-oxo-1-pyrrolidinyl)-2-butyn-1-ammonium iodide] were insensitive to Gβ5-RGS7. Pilocarpine responses consisted of a large release and modest influx components, of which the former was strongly inhibited whereas the latter was insensitive to Gβ5-RGS7. McN-A-343 [(4-hydroxy-2-butynyl)-1-trimethylammonium-3-chlorocarbanilate chloride] was the only compound whose total Ca(2+) response was enhanced by Gβ5-RGS7, attributed to, in part, by the relatively small Ca(2+) release this partial agonist stimulated. Together, these results show that distinct agonists not only have differential M3R functional selectivity, but also confer specific sensitivity to the Gβ5-RGS7 complex.

Abstract
Calcium signaling represents one of the most important signaling cascades in cells and regulates diverse processes such as exocytosis, muscle contraction and relaxation, gene expression and cell growth. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the most important family of receptors that activate calcium signaling. Since calcium signaling regulates a large number of physiological responses, it is intriguing that how changes in cytosolic calcium levels by a wide range of stimuli lead to signal-specific physiological responses in the cellular interior. In order to address this issue, we have analyzed temporal calcium profiles induced by two GPCRs, the serotonin(1A) and purinergic receptors. In this work, we have described a set of parameters for the analysis of calcium transients that could provide novel insight into mechanisms responsible for maintaining signal specificity by shaping calcium transients. An interesting feature of calcium signaling that has emerged from our analysis is that the profile of individual transients in a calcium response could play an important role in maintaining downstream signal specificity. In summary, our analysis offers a novel approach to identify differences in calcium response patterns induced by various stimuli.

Abstract
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and δ-opioid receptors (DORs) are both involved in controlling cell survival, energy metabolism, and food intake, but little is known on the interaction between these two signaling molecules. Here we show that activation of human DORs stably expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells increased AMPK activity and AMPK phosphorylation on Thr172. DOR-induced AMPK phosphorylation was prevented by pertussis toxin, reduced by protein kinase A (PKA) activators, and unaffected by PKA, transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1, mitogen-activated protein kinase, and protein kinase C inhibitors. Conversely, the DOR effect was reduced by Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase (CaMKK) inhibition, apyrase treatment, G(q/11) antagonism, and blockade of P2 purinergic receptors. Apyrase treatment also depressed DOR stimulation of intracellular Ca(2+) concentration, whereas P2 receptor antagonism blocked DOR stimulation of inositol phosphate accumulation. In SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells and primary olfactory bulb neurons, DOR activation failed to affect AMPK phosphorylation per se but potentiated the stimulation by either muscarinic agonists or 2-methyl-thio-ADP. Sequestration of G protein βγ subunits (Gβγ) blocked the DOR potentiation of AMPK phosphorylation induced by oxotremorine-M. In CHO cells, the AMPK activator 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide1-β-D-ribonucleoside stimulated AMPK phosphorylation and glucose uptake, whereas pharmacological inhibition of AMPK, expression of a dominant-negative mutant of AMPKα1, and P2Y receptor blockade reduced DOR-stimulated glucose uptake. The data indicate that in different cell systems, DOR activation up-regulates AMPK through a Gβγ-dependent synergistic interaction with G(q/11)-coupled receptors, potentiating Ca(2+) release and CaMKKβ-dependent AMPK phosphorylation. In CHO cells, this coincident signaling mechanism is involved in DOR-induced glucose uptake.

Abstract
In the central nervous system, the formation of the myelin sheath and the differentiation of the myelinating cells, namely oligodendrocytes, are regulated by complex signaling networks that involve purinergic receptors and the extracellular matrix. However, the exact nature of the molecular interactions underlying these networks still needs to be defined. In this respect, the data presented here reveal a signaling mechanism that is characterized by an interaction between the purinergic P2Y(12) receptor and the matricellular extracellular matrix protein autotaxin (ATX), also known as ENPP2, phosphodiesterase-Iα/ATX, or lysoPLD. ATX has been previously described by us to mediate intermediate states of oligodendrocyte adhesion and to enable changes in oligodendrocyte morphology that are thought to be crucial for the formation of a fully functional myelin sheath. This functional property of ATX is mediated by ATX's modulator of oligodendrocyte remodeling and focal adhesion organization (MORFO) domain. Here, we show that the expression of the P2Y(12) receptor is necessary for ATX's MORFO domain to exert its effects on differentiating oligodendrocytes. In addition, our data demonstrate that exogenous expression of the P2Y(12) receptor can render cells responsive to the known effects of ATX's MORFO domain, and they identify Rac1 as an intracellular factor mediating the effect of ATX-MORFO-P2Y(12) signaling on the assembly of focal adhesions. Our data further support the idea that a physical interaction between ATX and the P2Y(12) receptor provides the basis for an ATX-MORFO-P2Y(12) signaling axis that is crucial for mediating cellular states of intermediate adhesion and morphological/structural plasticity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the ability of resolvin E1 (RvE1) to regulate adenosine diphosphate (ADP) activation of platelets via specific receptors because RvE1 reduces platelet aggregation with certain agonists, including ADP. METHODS AND RESULTS RvE1 is an eicosapentaenoic acid-derived specialized proresolving mediator generated during the resolution of acute inflammation. RvE1 exhibits potent organ-protective actions in vivo and acts on specific cell types, including platelets. RvE1, 0.1 to 100 nmol/L, incubated with platelets gave reduced ADP-stimulated P-selectin mobilization (IC(50), approximately 1.6×10(-12) mol/L) and polymerized actin content compared with control platelets. RvE1, 1 to 100 nmol/L, did not stimulate or block intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization. By using a new P2Y(12)-β-arrestin-coupled cell system, ADP-activated P2Y(12) with an EC(50) of 5×10(-6) mol/L and RvE1 did not directly stimulate P2Y(12) or block the ADP-P2Y(12) signals. In this system, another eicosanoid, leukotriene E(4) (LTE(4)) (EC(50), 1.3×10(-11) mol/L), dose dependently activated P2Y(12). When recombinant P2Y(12)-expressing cells were transiently transfected with an RvE1 receptor, human ChemR23 (present on human platelets), with the addition of RvE1 (0.1-10.0 nmol/L), blocked ADP signals (IC(50), approximately 1.6×10(-11) mol/L) in P2Y(12)-ChemR23-expressing cells compared with mock transfections. CONCLUSIONS RvE1's regulatory actions (ie, reducing ADP-stimulated P-selectin mobilization and actin polymerization) are human (h)ChemR23-dependent. Moreover, specific platelet actions of RvE1 selectively engaged with ADP-activated platelets that illuminate a new cellular mechanism and affect ω-3 eicosapentaenoic acid, which may contribute to both resolution of vascular inflammation and ADP-dependent platelet activation relevant in pathological cardiovascular events.

Abstract
We found that stimulation of P2Y2 receptor (P2Y2R), which is endogenously expressed in CHO-K1 cells, induced intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) oscillation with a low frequency of 11.4 +/- 2.7 mHz. When CHO-K1 cells expressing GFP-tagged kinase-negative gammaPKC (gammaPKC-KN-GFP), which is a neuron-specific subtype of PKC, were stimulated with UDP, gammaPKC-KN-GFP, but not wild-type gammaPKC (gammaPKC-GFP) showed an oscillatory translocation. The oscillatory translocation of gammaPKC-KN-GFP corresponded with [Ca2+]i oscillation, which was not observed in the cells expressing gammaPKC-GFP. We examined the mechanism ofP2Y2R-induced [Ca2+]i oscillation pharmacologically. gammaPKC-KN-GFP oscillation was stopped by an extracellular Ca2+ chelator, EGTA, an antagonist of P2Y2R, Suramin, and store-operated calcium channel (SOC) inhibitors, SKF96365 and 2-ABP. Taken together, P2Y2R-induced [Ca2+]i oscillation in CHO-K1 cells is related with Ca2+ influx through SOC, whose function may be negatively regulated by gammaPKC. This [Ca2]i oscillation was distinct from that induced by metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) stimulation in the frequency (72.3 +/- 5.3 mHz) and in the regulatory mechanism.

Abstract
Retinal Müller glial cells, in addition to providing homeostatic support to retinal neurons, have been shown to engage in modulation of neuronal activity and regulate vasomotor responses in the retina, among other functions. Calcium-mediated signaling in Müller cells has been implicated to play a significant role in the intracellular and intercellular interactions necessary to carry out these functions. Although the basic molecular mechanisms of calcium signaling in Müller cells have been described, the dynamics of calcium responses in Müller cells have not been fully explored. Here, we provide a quantitative characterization of calcium signaling in an in vitro model of Müller cell signaling using the rMC-1 cell line, a well-established line developed from rat Müller cells. rMC-1 cells displayed robust intracellular calcium transients and the capacity to support calcium transient-mediated intercellular calcium waves with signaling dynamics similar to that reported for Müller cells in in situ retinal preparations. Furthermore, pharmacological perturbations of intracellular calcium transients with thapsigargin and intercellular calcium waves with purinergic receptor antagonists and gap junction blockers (PPADS and FFA, respectively) suggest that the molecular mechanisms that underlie calcium signaling in rMC-1 cells has been conserved with those of Müller cells. This model provides a robust in vitro system for investigating specific mechanistic hypotheses of intra- and intercellular calcium signaling in Müller cells.

Abstract
Extracellular nucleotides regulate ion transport and mucociliary clearance in human airway epithelial cells (HAECs) via the activation of P2 receptors, especially P2Y(2). Therefore, P2Y(2) receptor agonists represent potential pharmacotherapeutic agents to treat cystic fibrosis (CF). Nucleotides also modulate inflammatory properties of immune cells like dendritic cells (DCs), which play an important role in mucosal immunity. Using DNA-microarray experiments, quantitative RT-PCR and cytokine measurements, we show here that UTP up-regulated approximately 2- to 3-fold the antimicrobial chemokine CCL20 expression and release in primary HAECs cultured on permeable supports at an air-liquid interface (ALI). Both P2Y(2) (ATPgammaS, UTP, INS365) and P2Y(6) (UDP, INS48823) agonists increased CCL20 release. UTP-induced CCL20 release was insensitive to NF-kappaB pathway inhibitors but sensitive to inhibitors of ERK1/2 and p38/MAPK pathways. Furthermore, UTP had no effect on interleukin-(IL)-8 release and reduced the release of both CCL20 and IL-8 induced by TNF-alpha and LPS. Accordingly, UTP reduced the capacity of basolateral supernatants of HAECs treated with TNF-alpha or LPS to induce the chemoattraction of both CD4(+) T lymphocytes and neutrophils. In addition, we show that, in monocyte-derived DCs, ATPgammaS, and UDP but not UTP/INS365-stimulated CCL20 release. Likewise, UDP but not ATPgammaS was also able to increase CCL20 release from monocytes. Pharmacological experiments suggested an involvement of P2Y(11) or P2Y(6) receptors through NF-kappaB, ERK1/2, and p38/MAPK pathways. Altogether, our data demonstrate that nucleotides may modulate chemokine release and leukocyte recruitment in inflamed airways by acting on both epithelial and immune cells. Our results could be relevant for further clinical investigations in CF.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common lethal autosomal recessive genetic diseases in the Caucasian population, with a frequency of about 1 in 3000 livebirths. CF is due to a mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene encoding the CFTR protein, a cyclic adenosine 5'-monophosphate (cAMP)-regulated chloride channel localized in the apical membrane of epithelial cells. CFTR is a multifunctional protein which, in addition to be a Cl-channel, is also a regulator of multiple ion channels and other proteins. In particular CFTR has been reported to play a role in the outflow of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) from cells, but this remains controversial. Extracellular nucleotides are signaling molecules that regulate ion transport and mucociliary clearance by acting on P2 nucleotide receptors, in particular the P2Y(2) receptor. Nucleotides activating the P2Y(2) receptor represent thus one pharmacotherapeutic strategy to treat CF disease, via improvement of mucus hydration and mucociliary clearance in airways. Phase II clinical trials have recently shown that aerosolized denufosol (INS37217, Inspire(R)) improves pulmonary function in CF patients: denufosol was granted orphan drug status and phase III trials are planned. Here, we review what is known about the relationship between extracellular nucleotides and CFTR, the role of extracellular nucleotides in epithelial pathophysiology and their putative role as therapeutic agents.

Abstract
P2Y receptor regulation of anion secretion was investigated in porcine endometrial gland (PEG) epithelial cells. P2Y2, P2Y4, and P2Y6 receptors were detected in monolayers of PEG cells and immunocytochemistry indicated that P2Y4 receptors were located in the apical membrane. Apical membrane current measurements showed that Ca2+-dependent and PKC-dependent Cl- channels were activated following treatment with uridine triphosphate (UTP) (5 microM). Current-voltage relationships comparing calcium-dependent and PKC-dependent UTP responses under biionic conditions showed significant differences in selectivity between Cl-)and I- for the PKC-dependent conductance (P(I)/P(Cl) = 0.76), but not for Ca2+-dependent conductance (PI/P(Cl) = 1.02). The I-/Cl- permeability ratio for the PKC-dependent conductance was identical to that measured for 8-cpt cAMP. Furthermore, PKC stimulation using phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) activated an apical membrane Cl- conductance that was blocked by the CFTR selective inhibitor, CFTRinh-172. CFTR silencing, accomplished by stable expression of small hairpin RNAs (shRNA), blocked the PKC-activated conductance associated with UTP stimulation and provided definitive evidence of a role for CFTR in anion secretion. CFTR activation increased the initial magnitude of Cl- secretion, and provided a more sustained secretory response compared to conditions where only Ca2+-activated Cl- channels were activated by UTP. Measurements of [cAMP]i following UTP and PMA stimulation were not significantly different than untreated controls. Thus, these results demonstrate that UTP and PMA activation of CFTR occurs independently of increases in intracellular cAMP and extend the findings of earlier studies of CFTR regulation by PKC in Xenopus oocytes to a mammalian anion secreting epithelium.

Abstract
In this study, we describe the presence of P2 receptor subtypes and Ca2+ signaling in erythroblasts. ATP and ADP produced a biphasic increase of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), with an initial transient phase followed by a sustained phase. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) showed the expression of P2Y1, P2Y2 and P2Y12. The selective P2Y1 receptor antagonist 2'-deoxy-N6-methyl-adenosine-3',5'-diphosphate (MRS2179) and the G(i) protein inhibitor pertussis toxin blocked Ca2+ increase. The initial transient [Ca2+]i increase phase was sensitive to the 1,4,5-inositol trisphosphate (IP3) receptor blocker 2-aminoethoxy-diphenylborate (2-APB), while the sustained phase was sensitive to the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor 2-[1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-maleimide (GF109203X) and calcium calmodulin kinase II (CaMKII) inhibitor 1-[N,O-bis(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-N-methyl-L-tyrosyl]-4-phenylpiperazine (KN-62). In addition, the PKC activator phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) produced increase of [Ca2+]i. Flow cytometry analysis showed the expression of Ca2+-dependent PKC alpha, betaI, gamma and phospho-CaMKII. These results suggest that the activation of the P2Y1 receptor triggers two different [Ca2+]i increase pathways, one IP3-dependent and the other kinase-dependent.

Abstract
Endogenous ligands acting on a human P2Y12 receptor, one of the G-protein coupled receptors, were searched by in silico screening against our own database, which contains more than 500 animal metabolites. The in silico screening using the docking software AutoDock resulted in selection of cysteinylleukotrienes (CysLTs) and 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate (PRPP), with high free energy changes, in addition to the known P2Y12 ligands such as 2MeSADP and ADP. These candidates were subjected to an in vitro Ca2+ assay using the CHO cells stably expressing P2Y12-G16alpha fusion proteins. We found that CysLTE4 and PRPP acted on the P2Y12 receptor as agonists with the EC50 values of 1.3 and 7.8 nM, respectively. Furthermore, we analyzed the phylogenetic relationship of the P2Y, P2Y-like, and CysLT receptors based on sequence alignment followed by evolutionary analyses. The analyses showed that the P2Y12, P2Y13, P2Y14, GPR87, CysLT-1, and CysLT-2 receptors formed a P2Y-related receptor subfamily with common sequence motifs in the transmembrane regions.

Abstract
Nucleotide binding to purinergic P2Y receptors contributes to the regulation of a variety of physiological functions in renal epithelial cells. Here, we investigate the regulatory mechanism of the P2Y1 receptor agonist 2-methylthioadenosine diphosphate (2-MeSADP) on Cl- transport in A6 cells, a commonly used model of the distal section of the Xenopus laevis nephron. Protein and mRNA expression analysis together with functional measurements demonstrated the basolateral location of the Xenopus P2Y1 receptor. 2-MeSADP increased intracellular [Ca2+] and cAMP and Cl- efflux, responses that were all inhibited by the specific P2Y1 receptor antagonist MRS 2179. Cl- efflux was also inhibited by the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) blocker glibenclamide. Inhibition of either protein kinase A (PKA) or the binding between A-kinase-anchoring proteins (AKAPs) and the regulatory PKA RII subunit blocked the 2-MeSADP-induced activation of CFTR, suggesting that PKA mediates P2Y1 receptor regulation of CFTR through one or more AKAPs. Further, the truncation of the PDZ1 domain of the scaffolding protein Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor-2 (NHERF-2) inhibited 2-MeSADP-dependent stimulation of Cl- efflux, suggesting the involvement of this scaffolding protein. Activation or inhibition of PKC had no effect per se on basal Cl- efflux but potentiated or reduced the 2-MeSADP-dependent stimulation of Cl- efflux, respectively. These data suggest that the X laevis P2Y1 receptor in A6 cells can increase both cAMP/PKA and Ca2+/PKC intracellular levels and that the PKC pathway is involved in CFTR activation via potentiation of the PKA pathway.
