During exercise, skeletal muscle produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) via NADPH oxidase (NOX2) while inducing cellular adaptations associated with contractile activity. The signals involved in this mechanism are still a matter of study. ATP is released from skeletal muscle during electrical stimulation and can autocrinely signal through purinergic receptors; we searched for an influence of th...
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an important myokine that is highly expressed in skeletal muscle cells upon exercise. We assessed IL-6 expression in response to electrical stimulation (ES) or extracellular ATP as a known mediator of the excitation-transcription mechanism in skeletal muscle. We examined whether the canonical signaling cascade downstream of IL-6 (IL-6/JAK2/STAT3) also responds to muscle ...
Epithelial cells in the urinary bladder (urothelium) trigger sensory signals in micturition by releasing ATP in response to distention of the bladder wall. Our previous study revealed the distinct roles of extracellular Ca(2+) and the Ca(2+) stores in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in urothelial ATP release. In the present study, we investigated the regulation of urothelial ATP release by Ca(2+...
Identification of a G protein-coupled receptor activated by UDP-glucose led us to develop a sensitive and specific assay for UDP-glucose mass and to test whether this sugar nucleotide is released as an extracellular signaling molecule. Mechanical stimulation of 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells by a change of medium resulted in an increase in extracellular levels of both ATP and UDP-glucose. Where...
BACKGROUND Calcific aortic valve disease is a common condition and is associated with inflammatory changes and expression of osteoblast-like cell phenotypes, but the cellular mechanisms are unclear. Recent studies identified extracellular ATP and P2Y receptor cascade as important regulators of bone remodeling, whereas its breakdown product, adenosine, is known to have anti-inflammatory properti...
To reveal the involvement of extracellular nucleotides in the ossification process in ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine (OPLL), the mRNA expression profiles of P2 purinoceptors, mechanical stress-induced ATP release, and ATP-stimulated expression of osteogenic genes were analyzed in ligament cells derived from the spinal ligament of OPLL patients (OPLL cells) and ...
Diabetic encephalopathy is a recognized complication of untreated diabetes resulting in a progressive cognitive impairment accompanied by modification of hippocampal function. The purinergic system is a promising novel target to control diabetic encephalopathy since it might simultaneously control hippocampal synaptic plasticity and glucose handling. We now tested whether streptozotocin-induced...
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) regulates blood pressure mainly through the occupation of the guanylyl cyclase-coupled receptor NPR-A, which requires ATP interaction for maximal activation. This study investigates the effect of extracellular Ca(2+) on ATP-mediated regulation of NPR-A-coupled guanylyl cyclase activity in glomerular membranes from Wistar Kyoto (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensiv...
Elevated serum phosphorus has emerged as a key risk factor for pathologic calcification of cardiovascular structures, or vascular calcification (VC). To prevent the formation of calciumphosphate deposits (CPD), the body uses adenosine-5’-triphosphate (ATP) to synthesize inhibitors of calcification, including proteins and inhibitors of low molecular weight. Extracellular pyrophosphate (PPi) is a...
Amongst the many stimuli orienting the growth of plant roots, of critical importance are the touch signals generated as roots explore the mechanically complex soil environment. However, the molecular mechanisms behind these sensory events remain poorly defined. We report an impaired obstacle-avoiding response of roots in Arabidopsis lacking a heterotrimeric G-protein. Obstacle avoidance may uti...
