Testosterone Enhances K V Currents and Airway Smooth Muscle Relaxation Induced by ATP and UTP through P2Y 4 Receptors and Adenylyl Cyclase Pathway. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:4652. [PMID: 38731872 PMCID: PMC11083821 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25094652] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 04/07/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Numerous studies suggest the involvement of adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) and similar nucleotides in the pathophysiology of asthma. Androgens, such as testosterone (TES), are proposed to alleviate asthma symptoms in young men. ATP and uridine-5'-triphosphate (UTP) relax the airway smooth muscle (ASM) via purinergic P2Y2 and P2Y4 receptors and K+ channel opening. We previously demonstrated that TES increased the expression of voltage-dependent K+ (KV) channels in ASM. This study investigates how TES may potentiate ASM relaxation induced by ATP and UTP. Tracheal tissues treated with or without TES (control group) from young male guinea pigs were used. In organ baths, tracheas exposed to TES (40 nM for 48 h) showed enhanced ATP- and UTP-evoked relaxation. Tetraethylammonium, a K+ channel blocker, annulled this effect. Patch-clamp experiments in tracheal myocytes showed that TES also increased ATP- and UTP-induced K+ currents, and this effect was abolished with flutamide (an androgen receptor antagonist). KV channels were involved in this phenomenon, which was demonstrated by inhibition with 4-aminopyridine. RB2 (an antagonist of almost all P2Y receptors except for P2Y2), as well as N-ethylmaleimide and SQ 22,536 (inhibitors of G proteins and adenylyl cyclase, respectively), attenuated the enhancement of the K+ currents induced by TES. Immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry studies revealed that TES did not modify the expression of P2Y4 receptors or COX-1 and COX-2, while we have demonstrated that this androgen augmented the expression of KV1.2 and KV1.5 channels in ASM. Thus, TES leads to the upregulation of P2Y4 signaling and KV channels in guinea pig ASM, enhancing ATP and UTP relaxation responses, which likely limits the severity of bronchospasm in young males.

Action of natural products on p2 receptors: a reinvented era for drug discovery. Molecules 2012; 17:13009-25. [PMID: 23117439 PMCID: PMC6268057 DOI: 10.3390/molecules171113009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2012] [Revised: 10/12/2012] [Accepted: 10/24/2012] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Natural products contribute significantly to available drug therapies and have been a rich source for scientific investigation. In general, due to their low cost and traditional use in some cultures, they are an object of growing interest as alternatives to synthetic drugs. With several diseases such as cancer, and inflammatory and neuropathic diseases having been linked to the participation of purinergic (P2) receptors, there has been a flurry of investigations on ligands within natural products. Thirty-four different sources of these compounds have been found so far, that have shown either agonistic or antagonistic effects on P2 receptors. Of those, nine different plant sources demonstrated effects on P2X2, P2X3, P2X7, and possibly P2Y12 receptor subtypes. Microorganisms, which represent the largest group, with 26 different sources, showed effects on both receptor subtypes, ranging from P2X1 to P2X4 and P2X7, and P2Y1, P2Y2, P2Y4, and P2Y6. In addition, there were seventeen animal sources that affected P2X7 and P2Y1 and P2Y12 receptors. Natural products have provided some fascinating new mechanisms and sources to better understand the P2 receptor antagonism. Moreover, current investigations should clarify further pharmacological mechanisms in order to consider these products as potential new medicines.

Characterization of P2Y receptors mediating ATP induced relaxation in guinea pig airway smooth muscle: involvement of prostaglandins and K+ channels. Pflugers Arch 2011; 462:573-85. [PMID: 21800025 DOI: 10.1007/s00424-011-0997-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2011] [Revised: 06/14/2011] [Accepted: 07/15/2011] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
In airway smooth muscle (ASM), adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) induces a relaxation associated with prostaglandin production. We explored the role of K(+) currents (I (K)) in this relaxation. ATP relaxed the ASM, and this effect was abolished by indomethacin. Removal of airway epithelium slightly diminished the ATP-induced relaxation at lower concentration without modifying the responses to ATP at higher concentrations. ATPγS and UTP induced a concentration-dependent relaxation similar to ATP; α,β-methylene-ATP was inactive from 1 to 100 μM. Suramin or reactive blue 2 (RB2), P2Y receptor antagonists, did not modify the relaxation, but their combination significantly reduced this effect of ATP. The relaxation was also inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide (NEM; which uncouples G proteins). In myocytes, the ATP-induced I (K) increment was not modified by suramin or RB2 but the combination of both drugs abolished it. This increment in the I (K) was also completely nullified by NEM and SQ 22,536. 4-Amynopyridine or iberiotoxin diminished the ATP-induced I (K) increment, and the combination of both substances diminished ATP-induced relaxation. The presence of P2Y(2) and P2Y(4) receptors in smooth muscle was corroborated by Western blot and confocal images. In conclusion, ATP: (1) produces relaxation by inducing the production of bronchodilator prostaglandins in airway smooth muscle, most likely by acting on P2Y(4) and P2Y(2) receptors; (2) induces I (K) increment through activation of the delayed rectifier K(+) channels and the high-conductance Ca(2+)-dependent K(+) channels, therefore both channels are implicated in the ATP-induced relaxation; and (3) this I (K) increment is mediated by prostaglandin production which in turns increase cAMP signaling pathway.

Abstract
Background Extracellular ATP may modulate airway responsiveness. Studies on ATP-induced contraction and [Ca2+]i signalling in airway smooth muscle are rather controversial and discrepancies exist regarding both ATP effects and signalling pathways. We compared the effect of extracellular ATP on rat trachea and extrapulmonary bronchi (EPB) and both human and rat intrapulmonary bronchi (IPB), and investigated the implicated signalling pathways. Methods Isometric contraction was measured on rat trachea, EPB and IPB isolated rings and human IPB isolated rings. [Ca2+]i was monitored fluorimetrically using indo 1 in freshly isolated and cultured tracheal myocytes. Statistical comparisons were done with ANOVA or Student's t tests for quantitative variables and χ2 tests for qualitative variables. Results were considered significant at P < 0.05. Results In rat airways, extracellular ATP (10-6–10-3 M) induced an epithelium-independent and concentration-dependent contraction, which amplitude increased from trachea to IPB. The response was transient and returned to baseline within minutes. Similar responses were obtained with the non-hydrolysable ATP analogous ATP-γ-S. Successive stimulations at 15 min-intervals decreased the contractile response. In human IPB, the contraction was similar to that of rat IPB but the time needed for the return to baseline was longer. In isolated myocytes, ATP induced a concentration-dependent [Ca2+]i response. The contractile response was not reduced by thapsigargin and RB2, a P2Y receptor inhibitor, except in rat and human IPB. By contrast, removal of external Ca2+, external Na+ and treatment with D600 decreased the ATP-induced response. The contraction induced by α-β-methylene ATP, a P2X agonist, was similar to that induced by ATP, except in IPB where it was lower. Indomethacin and H-89, a PKA inhibitor, delayed the return to baseline in extrapulmonary airways. Conclusion Extracellular ATP induces a transient contractile response in human and rat airways, mainly due to P2X receptors and extracellular Ca2+ influx in addition with, in IPB, P2Y receptors stimulation and Ca2+ release from intracellular Ca2+ stores. Extracellular Ca2+ influx occurs through L-type voltage-dependent channels activated by external Na+ entrance through P2X receptors. The transience of the response cannot be attributed to ATP degradation but to purinoceptor desensitization and, in extrapulmonary airways, prostaglandin-dependent PKA activation.

Abstract
In airway smooth muscle cells (SMCs) from mouse lung slices, > or =10 microM ATP induced Ca2+ oscillations that were accompanied by airway contraction. After approximately 1 min, the Ca2+ oscillations subsided and the airway relaxed. By contrast, > or =0.5 microM adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (nonhydrolyzable) induced Ca2+ oscillations in the SMCs and an associated airway contraction that persisted for >2 min. Adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate)-induced Ca2+ oscillations occurred in the absence of external Ca2+ but were abolished by the phospholipase C inhibitor U-73122 and the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor inhibitor xestospongin. Adenosine, AMP, and alpha,beta-methylene ATP had no effect on airway caliber, and the magnitude of the contractile response induced by a variety of nucleotides could be ranked in the following order: ATP = UTP > ADP. These results suggest that the SMC response to ATP is impaired by ATP hydrolysis and mediated via P2Y(2) or P2Y(4) receptors, activating phospholipase C to release Ca2+ via the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor. We conclude that ATP can serve as a spasmogen of airway SMCs and that Ca2+ oscillations in SMCs are required to sustain airway contraction.

Abstract
Extracellular ATP and uridine triphosphate (UTP) have a range of effects on a wide variety of cells through the activation of P(2) receptors. The aim of this work was to establish if stimulation with ATP and UTP enhances airway smooth muscle (ASM) cell proliferation and to determine the type of receptor mediating this effect. Proliferation of rat ASM cells was assessed through bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) uptake and by cell counting. At concentrations of 10(-6) and 10(-5) M, ATP and UTP induced significant increases in BrdU incorporation. ATP analogs specific for the P(2X) and P(2Y1) receptor subtypes had no effect. UDP (a P(2Y6) receptor agonist) produced significant decreases in BrdU incorporation and cell counts. Adenosine, the metabolite of ATP, produced an increase in cell proliferation through stimulation of the A(1) receptor. A(2) and A(3) receptor stimulation had no effect. Reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that mRNA transcripts for the P(2Y2), P(2Y4), P(2Y6), A(1), A(2), and A(3) receptor subtypes were present in cultured ASM cells. These data show that extracellular UTP, ATP, and their metabolites may affect airway remodeling by increasing or by reducing (P(2Y6) receptor) ASM cell proliferation.

Abstract
ATP and UTP have been proposed for use as therapeutic treatment of the abnormal ion transport in the airway epithelium in cystic fibrosis (CF), the most characteristic feature of which is permanent infection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. As for diverse gram-negative bacteria, this pathogenic bacterium accumulates diffusible N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) signal molecules, and when a threshold concentration is reached, virulence factor genes are activated. Human submucosal tracheal gland serous (HTGS) cells are believed to play a major role in the physiopathology of CF. Since ATP and UTP stimulate CF epithelial cells through P2Y receptors, we sought to determine whether CF HTGS cells are capable of responding to the AHLs N-butanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (BHL), N-hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (HHL), N-(3-oxododecanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (OdDHL), and N-(3-oxohexanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (OHHL), with special reference to P2Y receptors. All AHLs inhibited ATP- and UTP-induced secretion by CF HTGS cells. The 50% inhibitory concentrations were as high as 10 and 5 microM for BHL and HHL, respectively, but were only 0.3 and 0.4 pM for OdDHL and OHHL, respectively. Furthermore, all AHLs down-regulated the expression of the P2Y2 and P2Y4 receptors. Ibuprofen and nordihydroguaiaretic acid were able to prevent AHL inhibition of the responses to nucleotides, but neither dexamethasone nor indomethacin was able to do this. These data indicate that AHLs may alter responsiveness to ATP and UTP by CF HTGS cells and suggest that, in addition to ATP and/or UTP analogues, ibuprofen may be of use for a combinational pharmacological therapy for CF.

Abstract
The effects of concomitant P1-receptor stimulation on peak intracellular Ca2+ release by extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) were investigated in cultured airway smooth-muscle (ASM) cells. The results show that peak Ca2+ release to ATP is enhanced by preincubation with adenosine (ADO) and with the specific A3 receptor agonist 1-Deoxy-1-(6-([(3-iodophenyl)methyl] amino)-9H-purin-9-yl)-N-methyl-beta-D-ribofuranuronamide (1B-MECA). The response to 5-HT, a smooth-muscle contractile agonist, was also enhanced after preincubation with ADO. Further measurements showed that this enhancement of the response to ATP was dependent on extracellular calcium because it was abolished by the removal of Ca2+ from the extracellular fluid and by incubation with the calcium channel blocker nifedipine. In addition, there was no difference between the levels of total inositol phosphates measured in the presence of ATP alone or of ADO + ATP. AACOCF3, a specific blocker of phospholipase A2, decreased the peak Ca2+ response to ATP and abolished the enhanced response to ATP and 5-HT produced by ADO. We conclude that stimulation of P1 and P2 receptors in ASM cells activates not only phospholipase C but also phospholipase A2. The enhancement of ATP-induced and 5-HT-induced Ca2+ release is due to Ca2+ influx from the extracellular fluid through a Ca2+ channel presumably modulated by arachidonic acid. These data show that endogenous ADO may modulate airway hyperresponsiveness by enhancing the ASM response to contractile agonists.

Abstract
1. The effects of various purinoceptor agonists on intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in swine tracheal smooth muscle cells in primary culture were examined to investigate the subtype of purinoceptors in these cells. 2. ATP (1 microM to 1 mM) concentration-dependently increased [Ca2+]i which was measured by monitoring the fluorescence signal of fura2. 3. alpha, beta-Me ATP at concentrations higher than 10 microM increased [ca2+]i in the presence of extracellular Ca2+. Responses to the drug were 12 +/- 5 and 61 +/- 4% of responses to ATP (100 microM) at 100 microM and 1 mM, respectively (n = 7). The response to 100 microM ATP was inhibited by 62% in the presence of 1 mM alpha, beta-Me ATP (n = 8), though the drug at concentrations lower than that did not affect the response to ATP. 4. ATP increased [Ca2+]i in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. The response to ATP in this condition was 40% of that in the presence of extracellular Ca2+ (n = 8). 5. Neither cibacron blue 3GA (10 microM) (n = 8) nor suramin (10 and 100 microM) (n = 10) affected the response to ATP (1 microM to 100 microM). 6. The rank order of potency in the absence of extracellular Ca2+ was UTP > ATP > adenosine 5'-o-(3-thiotriphosphate) > > ADP = alpha, beta-methylene adenosine 5'-triphosphate > 2-(methylthio)-adenosine 5'-(tetrahydrogen triphosphate). 7. UTP (1 microM to 100 microM) concentration-dependently increased inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) production. 8. These results suggest that the increase in [Ca2+]i induced by purinoceptor agonists is mediated mainly via a nucleotide receptor in swine tracheal smooth muscle cells in primary culture.

Abstract
Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP), beta, gamma-methylene ATP and alpha, beta-methylene ATP produced relaxation of carbachol-precontracted isolated trachealis muscle from the guinea-pig in the presence of indomethacin (2.8 microM) and the adenosine uptake inhibitor S-(4-nitrobenzyl)-6-thioinosine (NBTI; 300 nM). The potency order for ATP and analogues was: beta, gamma-methylene ATP = ATP > alpha, beta-methylene ATP = uridine 5'-triphosphate (UTP) = 2-methylthio ATP. Adenosine and 5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA) also caused relaxation. Relaxations to ATP, beta, gamma-methylene ATP, adenosine and NECA were not inhibited by the P2 purinoceptor antagonist suramin (100 microM), but were inhibited by the P1 purinoceptor antagonist 8-sulphophenyltheophylline (140 microM). NBTI significantly potentiated adenosine and ATP but not beta, gamma-methylene ATP or NECA. The data are compatible with the idea that beta, gamma-methylene ATP could interact directly with P1 purinoceptors while ATP acts indirectly at P1 purinoceptors via conversion to adenosine.
