Abstract

1. Increasing concentrations of ATP (0.5 microM-300 microM) produced a biphasic increase in intracellular calcium concentration [Ca]i in rat parotid acinar cells, reflecting two distinct Cai responses to extracellular ATP. 2. In the absence of Mg2+ (with 3 mM CaCl2 in the buffer solution), the more sensitive response was maximal at 3-5 microM and was not further increased by 30 microM ATP. This response to ATP was not well maintained and was blocked by ADP (0.5 mM). A second, much larger increase in Cai was observed on addition of 300 microM ATP. This larger effect, which we have described previously, appears to be mediated by ATP4-, and was selectively reversed by 4,4'-di-isothiocyanato-dihydrostilbene-2,2'-disulphonate as well as by high concentrations of alpha,beta-methylene ATP. 3. Among ATP analogues, only the putative P2Z agonist, 3'-0-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl-ATP distinguished between the two responses. This analogue was at least 10 fold more potent than ATP in stimulating the ATP(4-)-response, but did not evoke the more sensitive response. The agonist potency series for both responses to ATP was identical for other analogues examined (ATP > ATP gamma S = 2-methylthio ATP (a P2y-selective agonist) >> ADP, ITP and alpha,beta-methylene ATP (a P2x-selective agonist)). 4. Although the effect of ATP4- could best be characterized as a P2z-type purinoceptor response, this effect was strongly and selectively blocked by reactive blue 2, a putative P2y-purinoceptor antagonist. Reactive blue 2 may bind to and block P2z purinoceptors since [gamma 32P]-ATP binding to parotid cells was inhibited by this compound.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
