چکیده

To examine a possible relation between the swelling-induced ATP release pathway and the volume-sensitive Cl(-) channel, we measured the extracellular concentration of ATP released upon osmotic swelling and whole-cell volume-sensitive Cl(-) currents in a human epithelial cell line, Intestine 407, which lacks expression of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Significant release of ATP was observed within several minutes after a hypotonic challenge (56-80% osmolality) by the luciferin/luciferase assay. A carboxylate analogue Cl(-) channel blocker, 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)-benzoate, suppressed ATP release in a concentration-dependent manner with a half-maximal inhibition concentration of 6.3 microM. However, swelling-induced ATP release was not affected by a stilbene-derivative Cl(-) channel blocker, 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene at 100 microM. Glibenclamide (500 microM) and arachidonic acid (100 microM), which are known to block volume-sensitive outwardly rectifying (VSOR) Cl(-) channels, were also ineffective in inhibiting the swelling-induced ATP release. Gd(3+), a putative blocker of stretch-activated channels, inhibited swelling-induced ATP release in a concentration-dependent manner, whereas the trivalent lanthanide failed to inhibit VSOR Cl(-) currents. Upon osmotic swelling, the local ATP concentration in the immediate vicinity of the cell surface was found to reach approximately 13 microM by a biosensor technique using P2X(2) receptors expressed in PC12 cells. We have raised antibodies that inhibit swelling-induced ATP release from Intestine 407 cells. Earlier treatment with the antibodies almost completely suppressed swelling-induced ATP release, whereas the activity of VSOR Cl(-) channel was not affected by pretreatment with the antibodies. Taking the above results together, the following conclusions were reached: first, in a CFTR-lacking human epithelial cell line, osmotic swelling induces ATP release and increases the cell surface ATP concentration over 10 microM, which is high enough to stimulate purinergic receptors; second, the pathway of ATP release is distinct from the pore of the volume-sensitive outwardly rectifying Cl(-) channel; and third, the ATP release is not a prerequisite to activation of the Cl(-) channel.

Physiological regulation of ATP release at the apical surface of human airway epithelia.

Extracellular ATP and its metabolite adenosine regulate mucociliary clearance in airway epithelia. Little has been known, however, regarding the actual ATP and adenosine concentrations in the thin ( approximately 7 microm) liquid layer lining native airway surfaces and the link between ATP release/metabolism and autocrine/paracrine regulation of epithelial function. In this study, chimeric Stap...

Release of ATP from retinal pigment epithelial cells involves both CFTR and vesicular transport.

The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) faces the photoreceptor outer segments and regulates the composition of the interstitial subretinal space. ATP enhances fluid movement from the subretinal space across the RPE. RPE cells can themselves release ATP, but the mechanisms and polarity of this release are unknown. The RPE expresses the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), an...

Volume-sensitive release of organic osmolytes in the human lung epithelial cell line A549: role of the 5-lipoxygenase.

Pathophysiological conditions challenge cell volume homeostasis and perturb cell volume regulatory mechanisms leading to alterations of cell metabolism, active transepithelial transport, cell migration, and death. We report that inhibition of the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) with AA861 or ETH 615-139, the cysteinyl leukotriene 1 receptor (CysLT₁) with the antiasthmatic drug Zafirlukast, or the volume-...

Two pathways for ATP release from host cells in enteropathogenic Escherichia coli infection.

We previously reported that enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) infection triggered a large release of ATP from the host cell that was correlated with and dependent on EPEC-induced killing of the host cell. We noted, however, that under some circumstances, EPEC-induced ATP release exceeded that which could be accounted for on the basis of host cell killing. For example, EPEC-induced ATP re...

Deformation-induced ATP release from red blood cells requires CFTR activity.

Recently, it was reported that rabbit and human red blood cells (RBCs) release ATP in response to mechanical deformation. Here we investigate the hypothesis that the activity of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a member of the ATP binding cassette, is required for deformation-induced ATP release from RBCs. Incubation of rabbit RBCs with either of two inhibitors of...
