Abstract
There are differences between osteoclasts and osteoblastic cells in their cytosolic calcium responses to purinergic receptor activation. Application of 50 or 100 microM extracellular ATP inhibits the calcium response to a second application of ATP in osteoblastic rat osteosarcoma UMR 106 cells, but not in rabbit osteoclasts. This shows that there is adaptation to the extracellular, ATP in osteoclasts, but not in the UMR 106 cells. Extracellular washing of the UMR 106 cells restores the calcium response to ATP partially but not completely, indicating that there is a purinergic receptor activation-induced desensitisation of the receptor or its linked signalling pathways. In contrast to these results, if extracellular UTP is applied first, application of ATP produces no calcium response in osteoclasts, with or without washing, while in the UMR 106 cells there is some response to the ATP, which is greatly enhanced by washing. This indicates that UTP induces a complete desensitisation of the purinergic receptor/calcium signalling system in osteoclasts, but not in the osteoblastic cells, in which there is simply competition between UTP and ATP for the same receptors. Taken together, these results demonstrate that ATP and UTP could di...Continue Reading
