Abstract
1. We have examined the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) responses in bovine aortic endothelial (BAE) cells to purines (ATP, ADP and analogues) and the pyrimidine, uridine triphosphate (UTP). 2. Exchange of medium on BAE cells in the absence of agonist was found to be a stimulus for Ins(1,4,5)P3 generation. BAE cells stimulated with 100 microM ATP, 30 microM 2MeSATP (an agonist at P2Y-purinoceptors but not nucleotide receptors) or 100 microM UTP (an agonist at nucleotide receptors but not P2Y-purinoceptors) gave Ins(1,4,5)P3 responses above that caused by exchange of medium. The time course was rapid, with peak response within the first 5 s and levels returning close to basal after 30 s of stimulation. 3. Significant differences in Ins(1,4,5)P3 responses to 100 microM UTP and 30 microM 2MeSATP stimulation were observed. The response to UTP was reproducibly more sustained than that to 2MeSATP. 4. Stimulation of BAE cells with 100 microM UTP plus 30 microM 2MeSATP produced a response statistically indistinguishable from that predicted by addition of the responses to the two agonists in isolation. 5. The Ins(1,4,5)P3 response to UTP was attenuated to 25% of control by pretreatment of BAE cells with pertussis toxin. Responses to 2MeSATP and ADP were essentially unaffected. ATP stimulation was reduced to 65% of control. 6. Activation of protein kinase C with tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate (TPA) profoundly inhibited Ins(1,4,5)P3 responses to 2MeSATP and ADP but had no effect on UTP stimulation. The protein kinase C inhibitor, Ro 31-8220, enhanced responses to 2MeSATP, ADP and ATP but no effect was observed on UTP stimulation. 7. These observations show that nucleotide and P2Y-receptors mobilise the second messenger Ins(1,4,5)P3 by separate routes resulting in different patterns of generation and suggest that while ATP activates both receptors, ADP principally influences these cells by interacting with the P2Y-purinoceptors.
