Abstract

The aims of this study were to determine (1) whether neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts (CAFB) express P2Y receptors; (2) whether CAFB respond to extracellular ATP by inducing expression of c-fos mRNA; and (3) whether extracellular ATP modulates norepinephrine (NE)-stimulated cell growth in CAFB. Expression of P2Y1 and P2Y2 receptors and induction of c-fos were examined by Northern blot analysis. CAFB growth was assessed by measuring [3H]thymidine incorporation and DNA content. P2Y receptor pharmacology was studied using various ATP analogues. Northern blot analysis of polyA enriched RNA confirmed that at least 2 subtypes of P2Y receptors (P2Y1 and P2Y2) are expressed in cultured CAFB. Extracellular ATP induced the expression of c-fos mRNA through a pathway that was sensitive to inhibitors of protein kinase C (PKC), but not to inhibitors of intracellular Ca2+ signaling. Extracellular ATP inhibited the NE-stimulated increases in DNA content and in [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA. Whereas the potency order for stimulation of c-fos expression was ATP = UTP > ADP > adenosine, the potency order to inhibit the NE-induced increase of [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA was ATP > ADP > UTP > adenosine. These data demonstrate that C...Continue Reading
