Central Role of P2Y6 UDP Receptor in Arteriolar Myogenic Tone.

چکیده
OBJECTIVE Myogenic tone (MT) of resistance arteries ensures autoregulation of blood flow in organs and relies on the intrinsic property of smooth muscle to contract in response to stretch. Nucleotides released by mechanical strain on cells are responsible for pleiotropic vascular effects, including vasoconstriction. Here, we evaluated the contribution of extracellular nucleotides to MT. APPROACH AND RESULTS We measured MT and the associated pathway in mouse mesenteric resistance arteries using arteriography for small arteries and molecular biology. Of the P2 receptors in mouse mesenteric resistance arteries, mRNA expression of P2X1 and P2Y6 was dominant. P2Y6 fully sustained UDP/UTP-induced contraction (abrogated in P2ry6(-/-) arteries). Preventing nucleotide hydrolysis with the ectonucleotidase inhibitor ARL67156 enhanced pressure-induced MT by 20%, whereas P2Y6 receptor blockade blunted MT in mouse mesenteric resistance arteries and human subcutaneous arteries. Despite normal hemodynamic parameters, P2ry6(-/-) mice were protected against MT elevation in myocardial infarction-induced heart failure. Although both P2Y6 and P2Y2 receptors contributed to calcium mobilization, P2Y6 activation was mandatory for RhoA-GTP binding, myosin light chain, P42-P44, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase phosphorylation in arterial smooth muscle cells. In accordance with the opening of a nucleotide conduit in pressurized arteries, MT was altered by hemichannel pharmacological inhibitors and impaired in Cx43(+/-) and P2rx7(-/-) mesenteric resistance arteries. CONCLUSIONS Signaling through P2 nucleotide receptors contributes to MT. This mechanism encompasses the release of nucleotides coupled to specific autocrine/paracrine activation of the uracil nucleotide P2Y6 receptor and may contribute to impaired tissue perfusion in cardiovascular diseases.

Extracellular UDP and P2Y6 function as a danger signal to protect mice from vesicular stomatitis virus infection through an increase in IFN-β production.
Extracellular nucleotides that constitute a "danger signal" play an important role in the regulation of immune responses. However, the function and mechanism of extracellular UDP and P2Y6 in antiviral immunity remain unknown. In this study, we demonstrated the in vitro and in vivo protection of UDP/P2Y6 signaling in vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infection. First, we demonstrated that VSV-inf...
متن کاملTyrosine phosphorylation modulates arteriolar tone but is not fundamental to myogenic response.
The present study investigated the role of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in myogenic responsiveness of rat skeletal muscle arterioles. Arteriolar segments were cannulated and pressurized without intraluminal flow. All vessels studied developed spontaneous tone and demonstrated significant myogenic constriction to step changes in pressure with a resultant increase in myogenic tone over an int...

متن کاملEvidence that the p2y3 receptor is the avian homologue of the mammalian P2Y6 receptor.
A P2Y receptor with 65% identity to mammalian P2Y6 receptors, termed the p2y3 receptor, was recently cloned from a chick brain cDNA library and was proposed to represent a novel P2Y receptor subtype [Mol Pharmacol 50:258-265 (1996)]. We cloned the turkey homologue of the chick p2y3 receptor, which shares high sequence identity (97.6%) with the chick receptor, and we stably expressed this recept...
متن کاملInhibition of UDP/P2Y6 purinergic signaling prevents phagocytosis of viable neurons by activated microglia in vitro and in vivo
Microglia activated through Toll-like receptor (TLR)-2 or -4 can cause neuronal death by phagocytosing otherwise-viable neurons-a form of cell death called "phagoptosis." UDP release from neurons has been shown to provoke microglial phagocytosis of neurons via microglial P2Y6 receptors, but whether inhibition of this process affects neuronal survival is unknown. We tested here whether inhibitio...
