Abstract
The purinergic activation of P2 receptors initiates a powerful and rapid signaling cascade that contributes to the regulation of an array of physiological and pathophysiological processes in many organs, including the kidney. P2 receptors are broadly distributed in both epithelial and vascular renal cells. Disturbances of purinergic signaling can lead to impairments in renal function. A growing body of evidence indicates changes in P2 receptor expression and nucleotide metabolism in chronic renal injury and inflammatory diseases. Increasing attention has focused on purinergic P2X7 receptors, which are not normally expressed in healthy kidney tissue but are highly expressed at sites of tissue damage and inflammation. Under hyperglycemic conditions, several mechanisms that are linked to purinergic signaling and involve nucleotide release and degradation are disrupted, resulting in the accumulation of adenosine 5'-triphosphate in the bloodstream in diabetes. Dysfunction of the purinergic system might be associated with serious vascular complications in diabetes, including diabetic nephropathy. This review summarizes our current knowledge of the role of P2 receptors in diabetes-related glomerular injury and its implications for new therapeutics for diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Renal collecting ducts maintain NaCl homeostasis by fine-tuning urinary excretion to balance dietary salt intake. This review focuses on recent studies on transcellular Cl secretion by collecting ducts, its regulation and its role in cyst growth in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). RECENT FINDINGS Lumens of nonperfused rat medullary collecting ducts collapse in control media but expand with fluid following treatment with cAMP, demonstrating the capacity for both salt absorption and secretion. Recently, inhibition of apical epithelial Na channels (ENaC) unmasked Cl secretion in perfused mouse cortical collecting ducts (CCDs), involving Cl uptake by basolateral NKCC1 and efflux through apical Cl channels. AVP, the key hormone for osmoregulation, promotes cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)-mediated Cl secretion. In addition, prostaglandin E2 stimulates Cl secretion through both CFTR and Ca-activated Cl channels. SUMMARY Renal Cl secretion has been commonly overlooked because of the overwhelming capacity for the nephron to reabsorb NaCl from the glomerular filtrate. In ADPKD, Cl secretion plays a central role in the accumulation of cyst fluid and the remarkable size of the cystic kidneys. Investigation of renal Cl secretion may provide a better understanding of NaCl homeostasis and identify new approaches to reduce cyst growth in PKD.

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

Abstract
Dysregulation of urinary sodium chloride (NaCl) excretion can result in extracellular fluid (ECF) volume expansion and hypertension. Recent studies demonstrated that urinary nucleotide excretion increases in mice ingesting a high-salt diet and that these increases in extracellular nucleotides can signal through P2Y(2) receptors in the kidney collecting duct to inhibit epithelial Na(+) channels (ENaC). However, under conditions of ECF volume expansion brought about by high-dietary salt intake, ENaC activity should already be suppressed. We hypothesized that alternative pathways exist by which extracellular nucleotides control renal NaCl excretion. We used an inner medullary collecting duct (mIMCD-K2) cell line in an Ussing chamber system as a model to study additional ion transport pathways that are regulated by extracellular nucleotides. When ENaC was inhibited, the addition of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to the basal side of cell sheets activated both P2Y(1) and P2Y(2) receptors, inducing a transient increase in short-circuit current (I(sc)); addition of ATP to the apical side activated only P2Y(2) receptors, inducing first a transient and then a sustained increase in I(sc). The ATP-induced increases in I(sc) were blocked by pretreatment with a phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor, a calcium (Ca(2+)) chelator, or Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channel (CACC) inhibitors, suggesting that ATP signals through both PLC and intracellular Ca(2+) to activate CACC. We propose that P2Y(1) and P2Y(2) receptors operate in tandem in IMCD cells to provide an adaptive mechanism for enhancing urinary NaCl excretion in the setting of high-dietary NaCl intake.

Abstract
P2Y receptors are metabotropic G-protein-coupled receptors, which are involved in many important biologic functions in the central nervous system including retina. Subtypes of P2Y receptors in retinal tissue vary according to the species and the cell types. We examined the molecular and pharmacologic profiles of P2Y purinoceptors in retinoblastoma cell, which has not been identified yet. To achieve this goal, we used Ca(2+) imaging technique and western blot analysis in WERI-Rb-1 cell, a human retinoblastoma cell line. ATP (10 µM) elicited strong but transient [Ca(2+)](i) increase in a concentration-dependent manner from more than 80% of the WERI-Rb-1 cells (n=46). Orders of potency of P2Y agonists in evoking [Ca(2+)](i) transients were 2MeS-ATP>ATP>>UTP=αβ-MeATP, which was compatible with the subclass of P2Y(1) receptor. The [Ca(2+)](i) transients evoked by applications of 2MeS-ATP and/or ATP were also profoundly suppressed in the presence of P2Y(1) selective blocker (MRS 2179; 30 µM). P2Y(1) receptor expression in WERI-Rb-1 cells was also identified by using western blot. Taken together, P2Y(1) receptor is mainly expressed in a retinoblastoma cell, which elicits Ca(2+) release from internal Ca(2+) storage sites via the phospholipase C-mediated pathway. P2Y(1) receptor activation in retinoblastoma cell could be a useful model to investigate the role of purinergic [Ca(2+)](i) signaling in neural tissue as well as to find a novel therapeutic target to this lethal cancer.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to investigate the effects of cytidine-5'-diphosphocholine (CDP-choline), an endogenous lipid precursor, on the reactivity of the mouse gastric fundus and to determine the mechanism(s) mediating its effects. MAIN METHODS Possible contractile effect of CDP-choline (10(-5)-10(-2)M) was investigated in the absence and presence of a muscarinic receptor antagonist, atropine (3 × 10(-6)M), an acetylcholine esterase inhibitor, physostigmine (10(-6)M), a Na(+) channel blocker, tetrodotoxin (TTX, 3 × 10(-6)M), a Rho-kinase inhibitor, Y-27632 (10(-5) M), a purinoceptor antagonist, suramin (2 × 10(-4)M), a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, N(G)-nitro-L-arginine (L-NA, 3 × 10(-4)M), a Ca(2+) channel blocker, nifedipine (10(-6)M), an α(7) nicotinic receptor antagonist, methyllycaconitine citrate (MLA, 10(-6)M) and a G protein (G(i/o)) inhibitor, pertussis toxin (PTX, 2 μg/ml). The metabolites of CDP-choline, namely choline (10(-4)-10(-2)M), cytidine 5'-triphosphate (CTP, 10(-5)-10(-2)M), cytidine (10(-5)-10(-2)M) and cytidine monophosphate (CMP, 10(-3)-10(-2)M) were also tested. Besides, phosphorylation of MYPT1, which indicates Rho-kinase activity, was also detected. KEY FINDINGS CDP-choline produced contractions in a concentration-dependent manner. The contractions were not affected by atropine, physostigmine, TTX, PTX, MLA or L-NA. However, Y-27632, suramin or nifedipine partly reduced these contractions. CDP-choline increased phosphorylation of MYPT1. Among CDP-choline metabolites, cytidine had no contractile effects. However, choline induced considerable contractions, which were sensitive to atropine. CMP and CTP had also contractile activity, comparable to that of CDP-choline. SIGNIFICANCE These results suggest that CDP-choline produced contraction through, at least in part, purinoceptors and Rho/Rho-kinase signalling in the mouse gastric fundus.

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

Abstract
The transient receptor potential channel TRPC3 is exclusively expressed in the apical membrane of principal cells of the collecting duct (CD) both in vivo and in the mouse CD cell line IMCD-3. Previous studies revealed that ATP-induced apical-to-basolateral transepithelial Ca(2+) flux across IMCD-3 monolayers is increased by overexpression of TRPC3 and attenuated by a dominant negative TRPC3 construct, suggesting that Ca(2+) entry across the apical membrane occurs via TRPC3 channels. To test this hypothesis, we selectively measured the Ca(2+) permeability of the apical membrane of fura-2-loaded IMCD-3 cells using the Mn(2+) quench technique. Mn(2+) influx across the apical membrane was increased 12- to 16-fold by apical ATP and was blocked by the pyrazole derivative BTP2, a known inhibitor of TRPC3 channels, with an IC(50) value <100 nM. In contrast, Mn(2+) influx was only increased approximately 2-fold by basolateral ATP. Mn(2+) influx was also activated by apical, but not basolateral, 1-stearoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (SAG), a known activator of TRPC3 channels. Apical ATP- and SAG-induced Mn(2+) influx was increased by overexpression of TRPC3 and completely blocked by expression of the dominant negative TRPC3 construct. Mn(2+) influx was also stimulated approximately 2-fold by thapsigargin applied to either the apical or basolateral side. Thapsigargin-induced flux was blocked by BTP2 but was unaffected by overexpression of TRPC3 or by dominant negative TRPC3. Apical ATP, but not basolateral ATP, increased transepithelial (45)Ca(2+) flux. These results demonstrate that the apical membrane of IMCD-3 cells has two distinct Ca(2+) influx pathways: 1) a store-operated channel activated by thapsigargin and basolateral ATP and 2) TRPC3 channels activated by apical ATP. Only activation of TRPC3 leads to net transepithelial apical-to-basolateral Ca(2+) flux. Furthermore, these results demonstrate that native TRPC3 is not a store-operated channel in IMCD-3 cells.

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

Abstract
Vasopressin regulates water reabsorption in the collecting duct, but extracellular nucleotides modulate this regulation through incompletely understood mechanisms. We investigated these mechanisms using immortalized mouse collecting duct (mpkCCD) cells. Basolateral exposure to dDAVP induced AQP2 localization to the apical membrane, but co-treatment with ATP internalized AQP2. Because plasma membrane-bound P2 receptors (P2R) mediate the effects of extracellular nucleotides, we examined the abundance and localization of P2R in mpkCCD cells. In the absence of dDAVP, P2Y(1) and P2Y(4) receptors localized to the apical membrane, whereas P2X(2), P2X(4), P2X(5), P2X(7), P2Y(2), P2Y(11), and P2Y(12) receptors localized to the cytoplasm. dDAVP induced gene expression of P2X(1), which localized to the apical domain, and led to translocation of P2X(2) and P2Y(2) to the apical and basolateral membranes, respectively. In co-expression experiments, P2R activation decreased membrane AQP2 and AQP2-mediated water permeability in Xenopus oocytes expressing P2X(2), P2Y(2,) or P2Y(4) receptors, but not in oocytes expressing other P2R subtypes. In summary, these data suggest that AQP2-mediated water transport is downregulated not only by basolateral nucleotides, mediated by P2Y(2) receptors, but also by luminal nucleotides, mediated by P2X(2) and/or P2Y(4) receptors.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that elevation of free cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration at the time of differentiation of chondroblasts was mainly due to a Ca(2+) influx and it was indispensable to cartilage formation in chicken high density mesenchymal cell cultures (HDC) [C. Matta, J. Fodor, Z. Szijgyarto, T. Juhasz, P. Gergely, L. Csernoch, R. Zakany, Cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration exhibits a characteristic temporal pattern during in vitro cartilage differentiation: a possible regulatory role of calcineurin in Ca-signalling of chondrogenic cells, Cell Calcium 44 (2008) 310-323]. Here, we report that chondrogenic cells secreted ATP and administration of ATP to the culture medium evoked Ca(2+) transients exclusively in the presence of extracellular Ca(2+) and only on day 3 of culturing, when the final commitment of chondroblasts occurs. Moreover, ATP caused elevated protein expression of the chondrogenic transcription factor Sox9 and stimulated cartilage matrix production. Expression pattern of different types of both ionotropic and metabotropic purinergic receptors was detected. Agonists of metabotropic receptors, ADP and UDP did not evoke any Ca(2+) transients and had no influence on cartilage formation, while UTP caused transient elevation of cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration in 3-day-old HDC without stimulating matrix production. Suramin, which blocks all P2X receptors but not P2X(4) did not impede the effects of ATP, furthermore, P2X(4) appeared in the plasma membrane fraction and gave signals with immunocytochemistry only from day 3. In summary, we suggest a role of ionotropic purinergic signalling of P2X(4) in the generation of ATP-dependent Ca(2+) transients of differentiating chondroblasts.

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

Abstract
Extracellular ATP interacts with purinergic P2 receptors to regulate a range of physiological responses, including downregulation of transport activity in the nephron. ATP is released from cells by mechanical stimuli such as cell volume changes, and autocrine signaling by extracellular ATP could occur in renal medullary cells during diuresis. This was tested in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, a model used frequently to study P1 and P2 receptor activity. ATP was released within 1 min after transfer from 500 to 300 mosmol/kgH2O medium. A 30-min incubation with ATP produced dose-dependent inhibition (0.01-0.10 mM) of the renal betaine/GABA transporter (BGT1) with little effect on other osmolyte transporters. Inhibition was reproduced by specific agonists for P2X (alpha,beta-methylene-ATP) and P2Y (UTP) receptors. Adenosine, the final product of ATP hydrolysis, also inhibited BGT1 but not taurine transport. Inhibition by ATP and adenosine was blocked by pertussis toxin and A73122, suggesting involvement of inhibitory G protein and PLC in postreceptor signaling. Both ATP and adenosine (0.1 mM) produced rapid increases in intracellular Ca2+, due to the mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ stores and Ca2+ influx. Blocking these Ca2+ increases with BAPTA-AM also blocked the action of ATP and adenosine on BGT1 transport. Finally, immunohistochemical studies indicated that inhibition of BGT1 transport may be due to endocytic accumulation of BGT1 proteins from the plasma membrane. We conclude that ATP and adenosine, through stimulation of PLC and intracellular Ca2+, may be rapidly acting regulators of BGT1 transport especially in response to a fall in extracellular osmolarity.

Abstract
The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney. Blood and plasma are continually filtered within the glomeruli that begin each nephron. Adenosine 5' triphosphate (ATP) and its metabolites are freely filtered by each glomerulus and enter the lumen of each nephron beginning at the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT). Flow rate, osmolality, and other mechanical or chemical stimuli for ATP secretion are present in each nephron segment. These ATP-release stimuli are also different in each nephron segment due to water or salt permeability or impermeability along different luminal membranes of the cells that line each nephron segment. Each of the above stimuli can trigger additional ATP release into the lumen of a nephron segment. Each nephron-lining epithelial cell is a potential source of secreted ATP. Together with filtered ATP and its metabolites derived from the glomerulus, secreted ATP and adenosine derived from cells along the nephron are likely the principal two of several nucleotide and nucleoside candidates for renal autocrine and paracrine ligands within the tubular fluid of the nephron. This minireview discusses the first principles of purinergic signaling as they relate to the nephron and the urinary bladder. The review discusses how the lumen of a renal tubule presents an ideal purinergic signaling microenvironment. The review also illustrates how remodeled and encapsulated cysts in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and remodeled pseudocysts in autosomal recessive PKD (ARPKD) of the renal collecting duct likely create an even more ideal microenvironment for purinergic signaling. Once trapped in these closed microenvironments, purinergic signaling becomes chronic and likely plays a significant epigenetic and detrimental role in the secondary progression of PKD, once the remodeling of the renal tissue has begun. In PKD cystic microenvironments, we argue that normal purinergic signaling within the lumen of the nephron provides detrimental acceleration of ADPKD once remodeling is complete.

Abstract
The epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) plays a major role in the regulation of sodium balance and BP by controlling Na(+) reabsorption along the renal distal tubule and collecting duct (CD). ENaC activity is affected by extracellular nucleotides acting on P2 receptors (P2R); however, there remain uncertainties over the P2R subtype(s) involved, the molecular mechanism(s) responsible, and their physiologic role. This study investigated the relationship between apical P2R and ENaC activity by assessing the effects of P2R agonists on amiloride-sensitive current in the rat CD. Using whole-cell patch clamp of principal cells of split-open CD from Na(+)-restricted rats, in combination with immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR, we found that activation of metabotropic P2R (most likely the P2Y(2) and/or (4) subtype), via phospholipase C, inhibited ENaC activity. In addition, activation of ionotropic P2R (most likely the P2X(4) and/or (4/6) subtype), via phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase, either inhibited or potentiated ENaC activity, depending on the extracellular Na(+) concentration; therefore, it is proposed that P2X(4) and/or (4/6) receptors might function as apical Na(+) sensors responsible for local regulation of ENaC activity in the CD and could thereby help to regulate Na(+) balance and systemic BP.

Abstract
This study determined whether nucleotides that bind to purinergic receptors (P2R) regulate the expression or function of serum- and glucocorticoid-inducible kinase-1 (SGK1) in mouse renal inner medullar collecting duct cells (mIMCD-3). The SGK1 protein was detected by Western blotting. A significant reduction of cytosolic SGK1 expression was observed in the cells pretreated with P2R agonist adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (ATPgammaS), and the reduction could be reversed by P2R antagonists. This reduction was also observed in cells that were pretreated with agonists for P2R subtypes. Using ELISA, we observed a reduced SGK1 kinase activity in ATPgammaS-pretreated cells. This effect was reversed by P2R antagonists. Furthermore, an increase of SGK1 kinase activity in aldosterone-pretreated cells was suppressed by ATPgammaS. These studies demonstrate for the first time that SGK1 can be downregulated by nucleotides in renal collecting duct epithelial cells, likely via the activation of P2R, and suggest that activation of renal purinergic signaling regulates a SGK1-dependent pathway that is known to modulate ion transport in the renal collecting duct.

Abstract
We examined P2X receptor expression and distribution in the mouse collecting duct (CD) and their functional role in Ca(2+) signaling. Both P2X(1) and P2X(4) were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated apical P2X(1) and P2X(4) immunoreactivity in principal cells in the outer medullary CD (OMCD) and inner medullary CD (IMCD). Luminal ATP induced an increase in Ca(2+) signaling in native medullary CD (MCD) as measured by fluorescence imaging. ATP also induced an increase in Ca(2+) signaling in MCD cells grown in primary culture but not in the presence of P2XR antagonist PPNDS. Short circuit current (I(sc)) measurement with mouse IMCD cells showed that P2XR agonist BzATP induced a larger I(sc) than did P2YR agonist UTP in the apical membrane. Our data reveal for the first time that P2X(1) and P2X(4) are cell-specific with prominent immunoreactivity in the apical area of MCD cells. The finding that P2XR blockade inhibits ATP-induced Ca(2+) signaling suggests that activation of P2XR is a key step in Ca(2+)-dependent purinergic signaling. The result that activation of P2XR produces large I(sc) indicates the necessity of P2XR in renal CD ion transport.

Abstract
Extracellular ATP initiates potent effects on sodium transport across renal epithelia through membrane-associated purinergic receptors. Dependent on the location of these receptors, ATP either inhibits or stimulates sodium reabsorption. Using A6 cells, transepithelial electrical resistance measurements, and scanning ion conductance microscopy, we have identified the purinergic receptors involved in the stimulatory action on the epithelial cell basolateral plasma membrane. Addition of the potent P2X(4) receptor agonist 2-methylthio-ATP (2MeSATP) to the basolateral side of the A6 monolayer stimulated amiloride-sensitive sodium conductance and produced similar cell morphological changes to those found with ATPgammaS, aldosterone, or hypotonic stress. The agonist potency order determined by sodium conductance changes of the monolayer was: 2MeSATP >or= ATPgammaS > CTP, a similar agonist potency profile to that of cloned P2X(4) receptors but with higher sensitivity for beta, gamma-methylene-ATP and alpha,beta-methylene-ATP. We further demonstrated that the ATP effect on sodium transport was potentiated by ivermectin, not blocked by suramin and PPADS, enhanced by Zn(2+) but not by Cu(2+), and significantly reduced but not totally inhibited by brilliant blue G. These results led us to conclude that basolateral P2X(4)-like receptors were involved. We suggest that there is a reciprocal purinergic system acting both at a basolateral and apical location for control of Na(+) transport. This requires a mechanism within the cell that leads to either basolateral or apical ATP release to regulate renal tubular function.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of ATP and its related signal cascades on the proliferation of mouse ESCs. ATP increased the level of [(3)H]thymidine/5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine incorporation and the number of cells in both a time- and dose-dependent manner. AMP-CPP (a P2X(1) and P2X(3) agonist), ATP-gammaS (a P2Y agonist), and 2-methylthio-ATP (a P2X and P2Y agonist) stimulated [(3)H]thymidine incorporation. P2 purinoceptor antagonists (suramin, reactive blue 2) inhibited the ATP-induced increase in [(3)H]thymidine incorporation. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed P2X(3), P2X(4), P2Y(1), and P2Y(2) expression in mouse ESCs. Adenylate cyclase inhibitor (SQ 22536), phospholipase C inhibitors (neomycin or U 73122), and protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors (bisindolylmaleimide I or staurosporine) inhibited the ATP-induced increase in [(3)H]thymidine incorporation. ATP increased the level of intracellular cAMP and inositol phosphates. ATP translocated PKC alpha, delta, and zeta from the cytosol to the membrane compartment. ATP and its agonists increased [Ca(2+)](i). In addition, the ATP-induced increase in [(3)H]thymidine incorporation was completely inhibited by a combination of EGTA (extracellular Ca(2+) chelator) and 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA)-AM (intracellular Ca(2+) chelator). ATP phosphorylated Akt and p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in a time-dependent manner, and either suramin or reactive blue 2 (RB2) blocked the ATP-induced phosphorylation of Akt. Suramin, RB2, the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor (wortmannin), or the Akt inhibitor inhibited the phosphorylation of p44/42 MAPKs. The ATP-induced increase in [(3)H]thymidine incorporation was inhibited by wortmannin, the Akt inhibitor, and the MAPK kinase inhibitor (PD 98059). Suramin, RB2, PD 98059, and wortmannin blocked the ATP-induced increase in the cyclin D1, cyclin E, cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 2, and CDK4 levels. In conclusion, ATP stimulates mouse ESC proliferation through PKC, PI3K/Akt, and MAPKs via the P2 purinoceptors.

Abstract
In addition to its role as a vasoconstrictor, angiotensin II also acts as a potent growth factor by activating several tyrosine kinases, including Jak2. Interestingly, Jak2 has been linked to similar cardiovascular pathologies as have been previously linked to the renin-angiotensin system. Identifying the downstream targets of Jak2 via the AT(1) receptor may therefore elucidate its role in the progression of various pathologies. Previously, microarray analysis from our laboratory identified the Type 1 inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptor as a potential target of Jak2 following chronic stimulation by angiotensin II. Therefore, we hypothesized that Jak2 regulates IP(3) receptor expression in response to angiotensin II. To test this hypothesis, rat aortic smooth muscle (RASM) cells over-expressing a dominant negative (DN) Jak2 protein were used. The Jak2-dependent signaling in these cells is reduced approximately 90% when compared to RASM control cells. Analysis of protein expression showed that the IP(3) receptor was degraded approximately 2-fold (P<0.05) in cells lacking functional Jak2 within 1 h of treatment by angiotensin II. Notably, degradation of the IP(3) receptor was reversible since protein levels were restored to normal following 2 h of recovery from angiotensin II. To eliminate the possibility of clonal artifact in the DN cells, wild type RASM cells were treated with the Jak2 pharmacological inhibitor, AG490. We found that angiotensin II treatment degraded IP(3) receptor in AG490-treated cells, but not in the vehicle controls. Treatment with lactacystin, a proteasome inhibitor, completely blocked angiotensin II-mediated degradation of IP(3) receptor, thereby suggesting that the degradation occurs through a proteasome-dependent mechanism. Moreover, the degradation of IP(3) receptor in DN cells correlated with a significant loss of intracellular calcium mobilization when treated with angiotensin II (DN 27.4+/-1.1% vs. WT 42.2+/-4.7%; n=5, P=0.002). We next examined through what mechanism Jak2 regulates the IP(3) receptor. When wild type RASM cells were treated with PP2, an Src-family inhibitor, IP(3) receptor expression was markedly reduced. Since previous data show that Fyn, a downstream target of Jak2, is able to phosphorylate the IP(3) receptor at Tyr 353, we believe our data suggest that Jak2 prevents the angiotensin II-mediated IP(3) receptor degradation through the activation of Fyn. In conclusion, these data suggest that Jak2 has a protective role in maintaining IP(3) receptor expression, potentially through activation of Fyn and subsequent phosphorylation of the IP(3) receptor.

Abstract
Hypertension and sodium retention are features of a diminished 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11beta-HSD2). The activity of this enzyme is reduced in various disease states with abnormal renal sodium retention and hypertension, including preeclampsia. ATP release to the extracellular compartment is observed with shear stress, inflammation, and placental ischemia. It was hypothesized that ATP downregulates 11beta-HSD2 activity. For that purpose, cell lines from different tissues that previously were used to study the regulation of 11beta-HSD2 were investigated: JEG-3, a vascular trophoblastic; LLCPK1, a renal tubular; and SW620, a colonic epithelial cell line. The 11beta-HSD2 activity, assessed by the conversion of 3H-cortisol to cortisone, was reversibly reduced during incubation with ATP or its stable analogue ATPgammaS in intact JEG-3 and LLCPK1, but not in SW620 cells. In JEG-3 cells, the purinergic antagonist pyridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulphonic acid but not suramin reversed the inhibition. Incubation with UTP and ADP and their degradation products including adenosine and alpha,beta-methylene-ATP did not inhibit 11beta-HSD2 activity. In contrast, 11beta-HSD2 activity increased almost 2.5-fold after incubation with 2'-methylthio-ATP. This indicates a bidirectional regulation by nucleotides via purinergic receptors. In JEG-3 cells, ATP/ATPgammaS did not alter 11beta-HSD2 promoter activity but reduced 11beta-HSD2 protein and mRNA concentration and half-life, suggesting a posttranscriptional regulation. In conclusion, ATP inhibits cell type specifically via purinergic receptors the expression and activity of the 11beta-HSD2 by a posttranscriptional mechanism.

Abstract
The umbrella cells that line the bladder are mechanosensitive, and bladder filling increases the apical surface area of these cells; however, the upstream signals that regulate this process are unknown. Increased pressure stimulated ATP release from the isolated uroepithelium of rabbit bladders, which was blocked by inhibitors of vesicular transport, connexin hemichannels, ABC protein family members, and nucleoside transporters. Pressure-induced increases in membrane capacitance (a measure of apical plasma membrane surface area where 1 microF approximately equals 1 cm2) were inhibited by the serosal, but not mucosal, addition of apyrase or the purinergic receptor antagonist PPADS. Upon addition of purinergic receptor agonists, increased capacitance was observed even in the absence of pressure. Moreover, knockout mice lacking expression of P2X2 and/or P2X3 receptors failed to show increases in apical surface area when exposed to hydrostatic pressure. Treatments that prevented release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores or activation of PKA blocked ATPgammaS-stimulated changes in capacitance. These results indicate that increased hydrostatic pressure stimulates release of ATP from the uroepithelium and that upon binding to P2X and possibly P2Y receptors on the umbrella cell, downstream Ca2+ and PKA second messenger cascades may act to stimulate membrane insertion at the apical pole of these cells.

Abstract
Epithelial Na+ channels (ENaC) coexist with a family of ATP-gated ion channels known as P2X receptors in the renal collecting duct. Although ENaC is itself insensitive to extracellular ATP, tubular perfusion of ATP can modify the activity of ENaC. To investigate a possible regulatory relationship between P2X receptors and ENaC, coexpression studies were performed in Xenopus oocytes. ENaC generated a persistent inward Na+ current that was sensitive to the channel blocker amiloride (I(am-s)). Exogenous ATP transiently activated all cloned isoforms of P2X receptors, which in some cases irreversibly inhibited I(am-s). The degree of inhibition depended on the P2X receptor subtype present. Activation of P2X2, P2X(2/6), P2X4, and P2X(4/6) receptor subtypes inhibited I(am-s), whereas activation of P2X1, P2X3, and P2X5 receptors had no significant effect. The degree of inhibition of I(am-s) correlated positively with the amount of ionic charge conducted by P2X receptor subtypes. ENaC inhibition required Na+ influx through I(am-s)-inhibiting P2X ion channels but also Ca2+ influx through P2X4 and P2X(4/6) ion channels. P2X-mediated inhibition of I(am-s) was found to be due to retrieval of ENaC from the plasma membrane. Maximum amplitudes of ATP-evoked P2X-mediated currents (I(ATP)) were significantly increased for P2X2, P2X(2/6), and P2X5 receptor subtypes after coexpression of ENaC. The increase in I(ATP) was due to increased levels of plasma membrane-bound P2X receptor protein, suggesting that ENaC modulates protein trafficking. In summary, ENaC was downregulated by the activation of P2X2, P2X(2/6), P2X4, and P2X(4/6) receptors. Conversely, ENaC increased the plasma membrane expression of P2X2, P2X(2/6), and P2X5 receptors.

Abstract
Circulating vasopressin levels change in hydrated and dehydrated conditions and thus control osmotic water permeability (P(f)) of the inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD). Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) antagonizes vasopressin-induced P(f) of IMCD. Previously, we showed that activation of P2Y2 receptor (P2Y2-R) in IMCD results in production and release of PGE2, and P2Y2-R mRNA and protein are significantly elevated in inner medullas of hydrated rats compared with dehydrated rats. Therefore, we examined whether the altered expression of P2Y2-R in hydrated and dehydrated states is associated with corresponding changes in P2Y2-R-mediated PGE2 release by the IMCD. Rats were hydrated by providing sucrose water as the sole drinking fluid or dehydrated by water deprivation for 2 days. This resulted in high output-low osmolality and low output-high osmolality urines in hydrated and dehydrated rats, respectively. In hydrated rats, there was a significant increase in tubular fluid PGE2, measured indirectly by assessing the urinary PGE2 metabolite. Stimulation of freshly isolated IMCD preparations in vitro with P2Y2-R agonist (ATPgammaS) showed a marked increase in the release of PGE2 in hydrated rats compared with normal rats. These responses were blunted in the IMCD prepared from dehydrated rats. The P2Y2-R-mediated PGE2 release in the IMCD of hydrated rats was mediated largely by cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 as COX-1-specific inhibitor valeroyl salicylate completely blocked the release. The COX-2-specific inhibitor N5398 had only a modest and insignificant inhibitory effect. In conclusion, the increased sensitivity of purinergic-prostanoid interaction seen in the IMCD of hydrated rats may represent a novel vasopressin-independent regulatory mechanism of IMCD function.
