P2Y₂ and P2X4 Receptors Mediate Ca²⁺ Mobilization in DH82 Canine Macrophage Cells.

ABSTRACT: Purinergic receptors of the P2 subclass are commonly found in human and rodent macrophages where they can be activated by adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) or uridine 5'-triphosphate (UTP) to mediate Ca²⁺ mobilization, resulting in downstream signalling to promote inflammation and pain. However, little is understood regarding these receptors in canine macrophages. To establish a macrophage model of canine P2 receptor signalling, the expression of these receptors in the DH82 canine macrophage cell line was determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunocytochemistry. P2 receptor function in DH82 cells was pharmacologically characterised using nucleotide-induced measurements of Fura-2 AM-bound intracellular Ca²⁺. RT-PCR revealed predominant expression of P2X4 receptors, while immunocytochemistry confirmed predominant expression of P2Y₂ receptors, with low levels of P2X4 receptor expression. ATP and UTP induced robust Ca²⁺ responses in the absence or presence of extracellular Ca²⁺. ATP-induced responses were only partially inhibited by the P2X4 receptor antagonists, 2',3'-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-ATP (TNP-ATP), paroxetine and 5-BDBD, but were strongly potentiated by ivermectin. UTP-induced responses were near completely inhibited by the P2Y₂ receptor antagonists, suramin and AR-C118925. P2Y₂ receptor-mediated Ca²⁺ mobilization was inhibited by U-73122 and 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB), indicating P2Y₂ receptor coupling to the phospholipase C and inositol triphosphate signal transduction pathway. Together this data demonstrates, for the first time, the expression of functional P2 receptors in DH82 canine macrophage cells and identifies a potential cell model for studying macrophage-mediated purinergic signalling in inflammation and pain in dogs.

Project description:There are three subtypes of mammalian Ins(1,4,5)P(3) (InsP(3)) receptor, each of which forms an intracellular Ca(2+) channel. Biphasic regulation of InsP(3) receptors by cytosolic Ca(2+) is well documented in cells expressing predominantly type 1 or type 2 InsP(3) receptors and might contribute to the regenerative recruitment of Ca(2+) release events and to limiting their duration in intact cells. The properties of type 3 receptors are less clear. Bilayer recording from InsP(3) receptors of RIN-5F cells, cells in which the InsP(3) receptors are likely to be largely type 3, recently suggested that the receptors are not inhibited by Ca(2+) [Hagar, Burgstahler, Nathanson and Ehrlich (1998) Nature (London) 296, 81-84]. By using antipeptide antisera that either selectively recognized each InsP(3) receptor subtype or interacted equally well with all subtypes, together with membranes from Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cells expressing only single receptor subtypes to calibrate the immunoblotting, we quantified the relative levels of expression of type 1 (17%) and type 3 (77%) InsP(3) receptors in RINm5F cells. In unidirectional (45)Ca(2+) efflux experiments from permeabilized RINm5F cells, submaximal concentrations of InsP(3) released only a fraction of the InsP(3)-sensitive Ca(2+) stores, indicating that responses to InsP(3) are quantal. Increasing the cytosolic free [Ca(2+)] ([Ca(2+)](i)) from approx. 4 to 186 nM increased the sensitivity of the Ca(2+) stores to InsP(3): the EC(50) decreased from 281+/-15 to 82+/-2 nM. Further increases in [Ca(2+)](i) massively decreased the sensitivity of the stores to InsP(3), by almost 10-fold when [Ca(2+)](i) was 2.4 microM, and by more than 3000-fold when it was 100 microM. The inhibition caused by 100 microM Ca(2+) was fully reversed within 60 s of the restoration of [Ca(2+)](i) to 186 nM. The effect of submaximal InsP(3) concentrations on Ca(2+) mobilization from permeabilized RINm5F cells is therefore biphasically regulated by cytosolic Ca(2+). We conclude that type 3 InsP(3) receptors of RINm5F cells mediate quantal Ca(2+) release and they are biphasically regulated by cytosolic Ca(2+), either because a single type 1 subunit within the tetrameric receptor confers the Ca(2+) inhibition or because the type 3 subtype is itself directly inhibited by Ca(2+).

Project description:Research has been undertaken to understand the host immune response to Brucella canis infection because of the importance of the disease in the public health field and the clinical field. However, the previous mechanisms governing this infection have not been elucidated. Therefore, in vitro models, which mimic the in vivo infection route using a canine epithelial cell line, D17, and a canine macrophage, DH82, were established to determine these mechanisms by performing an analysis of the transcriptomes in the cells. In this study, a coculture model was constructed by using the D17 cell line and DH82 cell line in a transwell plate. Also, a single cell line culture system using DH82 was performed. After the stimulation of the cells in the two different systems infected with B. canis, the gene expression in the macrophages of the two different systems was analyzed by using RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq), and a transcriptomic analysis was performed by using the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). Gene expression patterns were analyzed in the DH82 cell line at 2, 12, and 24 h after the stimulation with B. canis. Changes in the upregulated or downregulated genes showing 2-fold or higher were identified at each time point by comparing with the non-stimulated group. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the two culture models were identified by using the IPA program. Generally, the number of genes expressed in the single cell line culture was higher than the number of genes expressed in the coculture model for all-time points. The expression levels of those genes were higher in the single cell line culture (p < 0.05). This analysis indicated that the immune response-related pathways, especially, the dendritic cell maturation, Triggering receptor expression on myeloid cells 1 (TREM1) signaling, and Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathway, were significantly induced in both the culture systems with higher p-values and z-scores. An increase in the expression level of genes related to the pathways was observed over time. All pathways are commonly associated with a manifestation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and early immune responses. However, the Peroxisome proliferator-activation receptor (PPAR) signaling and Liver X Receptor/Retinoid X Receptor (LXR/RXR) signaling associated with lipid metabolism were reduced. These results indicate that early immune responses might be highly activated in B. canis infection. Therefore, these results might suggest clues to reveal the early immune response of the canine to B. canis infection, particularly TLR signaling.

Project description:Gastric cancer (GC) is a major health concern worldwide, presenting a complex pathophysiology that has hindered many therapeutic efforts so far. In this context, purinergic signaling emerges as a promising pathway for intervention due to its known role in cancer cell proliferation and migration. In this work, we explored in more detail the role of purinergic signaling in GC with several experimental approaches. First, we measured extracellular ATP concentrations on GC-derived cell lines (AGS, MKN-45, and MKN-74), finding higher levels of extracellular ATP than those obtained for the non-tumoral gastric cell line GES-1. Next, we established the P2Y2 and P2X4 receptors (P2Y2R and P2X4R) expression profile on these cells and evaluated their role on cell proliferation and migration after applying overexpression and knockdown strategies. In general, a P2Y2R overexpression and P2X4R downregulation pattern were observed on GC cell lines, and when these patterns were modified, concomitant changes in cell viability were observed. These modifications on gene expression also modified transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER), showing that higher P2Y2R levels decreased TEER, and high P2X4R expression had the opposite effect, suggesting that P2Y2R and P2X4R activation could promote and suppress epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), respectively. These effects were confirmed after treating AGS cells with UTP, a P2Y2R-agonist that modified the expression patterns towards mesenchymal markers. To further characterize the effects of P2Y2R activation on EMT, we used cDNA microarrays and observed that UTP induced important transcriptional changes on several cell processes like cell proliferation induction, apoptosis inhibition, cell differentiation induction, and cell adhesion reduction. These results suggest that purinergic signaling plays a complex role in GC pathophysiology, and changes in purinergic balance can trigger tumorigenesis in non-tumoral gastric cells.
