Extracellular ATP activates different signalling pathways in rat Sertoli cells.
1. The present study describes effects of extracellular ATP (ATPe) on plasma membrane potential and cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) in rat Sertoli cells. Sertoli cells in suspension were stimulated with ATPe and other nucleotides and ionic changes were monitored utilizing the fluorescent dyes bis-oxonol and fura-2/AM. ATPe induced a prompt plasma membrane depolarization which was depe...
متن کاملExtracellular Atp Signalling Pathways in Detrusor Smooth Muscle
Two neurotransmitters, ACh and ATP, initiate nerve-mediated contractions in detrusor smooth muscle from guinea-pigs and humans with bladder over-activity; whereas only ACh has a role in muscle from stable human bladders. Both Acetylcholine and ATP are rapidly broken down, by acetylcholinesterases and ectonucleotidases respectively. The activity of ectonucleotidase has been shown to be reduced i...
متن کاملExtracellular ATP triggers two functionally distinct calcium signalling pathways in PC12 cells.
We have investigated the effects of extracellular ATP on Ca2+ signalling, and its relationship to secretion in rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells. In single cells, extracellular ATP evoked two very distinct subcellular distributions of intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i), only one of which could be mimicked by the pyrimidine nucleotide UTP, suggesting the involvement of more than one c...
متن کاملDatumetine Preferentially Upregulates NMDAR Signalling Pathways in Different Brain Regions of Mice
Background: We earlier reported that datumetine possesses binding affinity with NMDAR and that 14-day exposure to datumetine altered NMDAR signalling by mimicking glutamate toxicity. Here, we investigated the potential neuroprotective effect of a single shot of a low dose of datumetine administration in BALB/c mice. Results: Relative to Veh, datumetine downregulate the expression of CamKIIα i...
متن کاملExtracellular ATP activates multiple signalling pathways and potentiates growth factor-induced c-fos gene expression in MCF-7 breast cancer cells.
In the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7, the nucleotides ATP gamma S and UTP, acting extracellularly through the purinergic receptor P2Y(2), lead to elevated intracellular calcium levels and increased proliferation. ATP gamma S and UTP treatment of MCF-7 cells activated transcription of the immediate early gene c-fos, an important component in the response to proliferative stimulation. c-fos...
