P2Z purinoceptor-associated pores induced by extracellular ATP in macrophages and J774 cells.
Millimolar concentrations of extracellular ATP (ATPo) can induce the permeabilization of plasma membranes of macrophages and other bone marrow-derived cells to low-molecular-weight solutes, a phenomenon that is the hallmark of P2Z purinoceptors. However, patch-clamp and whole cell electrophysiological experiments have so far failed to demonstrate the existence of any ATPo-induced P2Z-associated...
متن کاملBiphasic effect of extracellular ATP on human and rat airways is due to multiple P2 purinoceptor activation
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 ...
متن کاملExtracellular ATP Hydrolysis Inhibits Synaptic Transmission by Increasing pH Buffering in the Synaptic Cleft
Neuronal computations strongly depend on inhibitory interactions. One such example occurs at the first retinal synapse, where horizontal cells inhibit photoreceptors. This interaction generates the center/surround organization of bipolar cell receptive fields and is crucial for contrast enhancement. Despite its essential role in vision, the underlying synaptic mechanism has puzzled the neurosci...
متن کاملContrast sensitivity revealed by microsaccades.
Microsaccades are small rapid and involuntary eye movements that occur during fixation in an apparently stochastic manner. They are known to be inhibited in response to sensory transients, with a time course that depends on the stimulus parameters and attention. However, the temporal precision of their onsets and the degree to which they can be used to assess the response of the visual system t...
متن کاملDynamic sensitivity of ATP-sensitive K(+) channels to ATP.
ATP and MgADP regulate K(ATP) channel activity and hence potentially couple cellular metabolism to membrane electrical activity in various cell types. Using recombinant K(ATP) channels that lack sensitivity to MgADP, expressed in COSm6 cells, we demonstrate that similar on-cell activity can be observed with widely varying apparent submembrane [ATP] ([ATP](sub)). Metabolic inhibition leads to a ...
