Abstract
Extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) increases human eosinophil intracellular Ca(2+) concentration; the mechanism of action is not fully known. ATP, a physiologic regulator, acts through 2 purinergic receptor types: cation channels (P2X) and G protein-coupled receptors (P2Y). This study is aimed at identifying the functional purinergic receptors in human eosinophils. The relative potency of ATP, uridine (UTP), cytidine (CTP), and inosine (ITP) 5'-triphosphates (P2Y agonists); 2-methylthio-ATP (P2Y(1) agonist); and 2 P2X agonists, alpha,beta-methylene-ATP and beta,gamma-methylene-ATP on intracellular Ca(2+) concentration was examined in Ca(2+)-sensitive Fura-2-labeled human eosinophils. For comparison, ATP effects were similarly studied in human neutrophils. P2X/P2Y mRNA expression in cells was examined by reverse transcription and PCR. The nucleotide potency order was UTP > or = ATP > ITP > 2-methylthio-ATP > alpha,beta-methylene-ATP = beta,gamma-methylene-ATP = CTP = 0 in eosinophils. Pertussis toxin (500 ng/mL) pretreatment abolished the effect of lower (10(-6) mol/L) but not higher (10(-5) mol/L) concentrations of ATP in eosinophils, whereas it attenuated the effects of 10(-4) mol/L ATP in neutrophils. The phospholi...Continue Reading
