Abstract

Microglia play a variety of significant roles in the central nervous system (CNS), and in one of those roles they undergo morphological change in response to neural injury and migrate to the injured region. We previously reported that ATP/ADP promotes microglial chemotaxis via the Gi/o-coupled P2Y12 receptor; however, the intracellular signaling underlying P2Y12-receptor-mediated microglial chemotaxis is not fully understood. In this study, we examined the role of phospholipase C (PLC) and calcium signaling in ADP-induced microglial chemotaxis. A PLC inhibitor, U73122, significantly suppressed the chemotaxis and completely blocked the ADP-evoked intracellular calcium response, and a calcium chelator, BAPTA-AM, inhibited the chemotaxis. These results indicate that ADP-induced microglial chemotaxis is regulated by a PLC-mediated calcium pathway. ADP stimulation induced Akt phosphorylation in microglia, and the phosphorylation was inhibited by a P2Y12 receptor antagonist, AR-C69931MX. The Akt phosphorylation was blocked by U73122 and BAPTA-AM as well as by a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, wortmannin, and inhibition of the Akt activation resulted in failure of chemotaxis. These results indicate that Akt activation ...Continue Reading
