Adenosine 5'-[alpha beta-methylene]triphosphate potentiates the oscillatory cytosolic Ca2+ responses of hepatocytes to ATP, but not to ADP.

ABSTRACT: Single rat hepatocytes microinjected with aequorin generate oscillations in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) when stimulated with agonists acting through the phosphoinositide signalling pathway. The duration of these transients has been shown to be characteristic of the stimulating agonist, so that transients of very different duration can be induced in the same individual hepatocyte by different agonists. In a previous study we have shown that ADP and ATP, which are believed to act through a single P2y-purinoceptor species, elicit very different [Ca2+]i responses in most of the hepatocytes. We have interpreted this as evidence for two Ca(2+)-mobilizing purinoceptors. The methylated derivative of ATP, adenosine 5'-[alpha beta-methylene]-triphosphate (pp[CH2]pA), is only a weak P2y-purinoceptor agonist. When 100 microM pp[CH2]pA was supplied to aequorin-injected hepatocytes, there was no effect on [Ca2+]i. However, 25 microM pp[CH2]pA co-supplied with ATP causes a potentiation of the [Ca2+]i response in most of the hepatocytes. The effect was specific for ATP-induced transients; [Ca2+]i transients induced by other agonists, and importantly by ADP, were not affected by addition of pp[CH2]pA. This further illustrates differences in the actions of ADP and ATP, strengthening the argument for separate receptors for these nucleotides.

Imaging changes in the cytosolic ATP-to-ADP ratio.

Project description:Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a central metabolite that plays fundamental roles as an energy transfer molecule, a phosphate donor, and a signaling molecule inside the cells. The phosphoryl group transfer potential of ATP provides a thermodynamic driving force for many metabolic reactions, and phosphorylation of both small metabolites and large proteins can serve as a regulatory modification. In the process of phosphoryl transfer from ATP, the diphosphate ADP is produced, and as a result, the ATP-to-ADP ratio is an important physiological control parameter. The ATP-to-ADP ratio is directly proportional to cellular energy charge and phosphorylation potential. Furthermore, several ATP-dependent enzymes and signaling proteins are regulated by ADP, and their activation profiles are a function of the ATP-to-ADP ratio. Finally, regeneration of ATP from ADP can serve as an important readout of energy metabolism and mitochondrial function. We, therefore, developed a genetically encoded fluorescent biosensor tuned to sense ATP-to-ADP ratios in the physiological range of healthy mammalian cells. Here, we present a protocol for using this biosensor to visualize energy status using live-cell fluorescence microscopy.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) sampling algorithm for monitoring the cleanliness of surgical instruments.

Project description:BackgroundTimely detection of cleaning failure is critical for quality assurance within Sterilising Service Units (SSUs). Rapid Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) testing provides a real time and quantitative indication of cellular contaminants, when used to measure surface or device cleanliness. The aim of this study was to investigate the use of an ATP algorithm and to whether it could be used as a routine quality assurance step, to monitor surgical instruments cleanliness in SSUs prior to sterilisation.MethodsCleanliness monitoring using rapid ATP testing was undertaken in the SSUs of four hospitals located in the western (Amazonia) region of Brazil. ATP testing was conducted (Clean Trace, 3M) on 163 surgical instruments, following manual cleaning. A sampling algorithm using a duplicate swab approach was applied to indicate surgical instruments as (i) very clean, (ii) clean, (iii) equivocal or (iv) fail, based around a 'clean' cut-off of 250 Relative Light Units (RLU) and a 'very clean' <100 RLU.ResultsThe four cleanliness categories were significantly differentiated (P≤0.001). The worst performing locations (hospitals A & C) had failure rates of 39.2% and 32.4%, respectively, and were distinctly different from hospitals B & D (P≤0.001). The best performing hospitals (B & D) had failure rates of 7.7% and 2.8%, respectively.ConclusionThe ATP testing algorithm provides a simple to use method within SSUs. The measurements are in real time, quantitative and useful for risk-based quality assurance monitoring, and the tool can be used for staff training. The four-tiered approach to the grading of surgical instrument cleanliness provides a nuanced approach for continuous quality improvement within SSU than does a simple pass/fail methodology.

Mitochondrial free [Ca2+] increases during ATP/ADP antiport and ADP phosphorylation: exploration of mechanisms.

Project description:ADP influx and ADP phosphorylation may alter mitochondrial free [Ca2+] ([Ca2+](m)) and consequently mitochondrial bioenergetics by several postulated mechanisms. We tested how [Ca2+](m) is affected by H2PO4(-) (P(i)), Mg2+, calcium uniporter activity, matrix volume changes, and the bioenergetic state. We measured [Ca2+](m), membrane potential, redox state, matrix volume, pH(m), and O2 consumption in guinea pig heart mitochondria with or without ruthenium red, carboxyatractyloside, or oligomycin, and at several levels of Mg2+ and P(i). Energized mitochondria showed a dose-dependent increase in [Ca2+](m) after adding CaCl2 equivalent to 20, 114, and 485 nM extramatrix free [Ca2+] ([Ca2+](e)); this uptake was attenuated at higher buffer Mg2+. Adding ADP transiently increased [Ca2+](m) up to twofold. The ADP effect on increasing [Ca2+](m) could be partially attributed to matrix contraction, but was little affected by ruthenium red or changes in Mg2+ or P(i). Oligomycin largely reduced the increase in [Ca2+](m) by ADP compared to control, and [Ca2+](m) did not return to baseline. Carboxyatractyloside prevented the ADP-induced [Ca2+](m) increase. Adding CaCl2 had no effect on bioenergetics, except for a small increase in state 2 and state 4 respiration at 485 nM [Ca2+](e). These data suggest that matrix ADP influx and subsequent phosphorylation increase [Ca2+](m) largely due to the interaction of matrix Ca2+ with ATP, ADP, P(i), and cation buffering proteins in the matrix.

Elevated intracellular cyclic AMP exerts different modulatory effects on cytosolic free Ca2+ oscillations induced by ADP and ATP in single rat hepatocytes.

Project description:Single aequorin-injected hepatocytes respond to agonists acting via the phosphoinositide signalling pathway by the generation of oscillations in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]free). The duration of [Ca2+]free transients is characteristic of the stimulating agonist. We have previously reported that ADP and ATP, which are believed to act through a single P(2y)-purinoceptor species, induce very different oscillatory [Ca2+]free responses in the majority of hepatocytes. We have interpreted these data as evidence for two separate Ca(2+)-mobilizing purinoceptors for these nucleotides. We show here that the elevation of intracellular cyclic AMP concentration, by the co-application of either dibutyryl cyclic AMP or 7 beta-desacetyl-7 beta-[gamma-(N-methylpiperazino)butyryl]- forskolin (L858051), exerts different modulatory effects on [Ca2+]free oscillations induced by ADP and ATP in single rat hepatocytes. Elevated intracellular cyclic AMP levels enhance the frequency and peak [Ca2+]free of transients induced by ADP. In contrast, the elevation of intracellular cyclic AMP levels in hepatocytes producing [Ca2+]free oscillations in response to ATP stimulates either an increase in the duration of transients or a sustained rise in [Ca2+]free. The data illustrate a further difference between the oscillatory [Ca2+]free responses of hepatocytes to ADP and ATP, thus further arguing against ADP and ATP acting via a single purinoceptor species.

Oscillations in cytosolic free Ca2+ induced by ADP and ATP in single rat hepatocytes display differential sensitivity to application of phorbol ester.

Project description:We have previously described differences in the oscillatory responses of cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in hepatocytes to ADP and ATP, which we have interpreted as evidence that these two nucleotides are acting at distinct receptors. We show here that ADP- and ATP-induced oscillations are differentially sensitive to application of the phorbol ester 4 beta-phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDB). ADP-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations are abolished by low concentrations of PDB (5-10 nM), whereas ATP-induced oscillations of long duration are refractory to PDB, even at greatly elevated concentrations (100 nM). The data illustrate a further difference in the actions of ADP and ATP, strengthening the argument that these agonists are not acting at the same receptor on rat hepatocytes.

Cytosolic free Ca2+ oscillations induced by diadenosine 5',5"'-P1,P3-triphosphate and diadenosine 5',5"'-P1,P4-tetraphosphate in single rat hepatocytes are indistinguishable from those induced by ADP and ATP respectively.

Project description:Diadenosine 5',5"'-P1,P3-triphosphate (Ap3A) and diadenosine 5',5"'-P1,P4-tetraphosphate (Ap4A) induce distinctive patterns of [Ca2+]i oscillations in single rat hepatocytes. We show here that [Ca2+]i oscillations induced by Ap3A and ADP are indistinguishable and that [Ca2+]i oscillations induced by Ap4A closely resemble those induced by ATP. These similarities embrace the following: (1) ADP and Ap3A invariably induce [Ca2+]i transients of short duration (approx. 9 s). Ap4A, like ATP, can induce, depending upon the individual cell, either transients of short duration (approx. 9 s), transients of much longer duration or a mixture of short and long transients within a single response. We show here that the pattern of oscillations induced by Ap4A is similar to that induced by ATP in the same hepatocyte. (2) Elevated intracellular cyclic AMP concentration modulates Ap3A-induced transients, like ADP-induced transients, through an increase in both the peak [Ca2+]i and the frequency of the transients. In contrast, Ap4A-induced transients, like ATP-induced transients, develop an increased duration or a sustained rise in [Ca2+]i, with no rise in peak [Ca2+]i. (3) Ap3A-induced transients, like ADP-induced transients, are abolished by low concentrations of the phorbol ester 4 beta-phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDB; 5-10 nM), whereas long Ap4A-induced transients, like long ATP-induced transients, are refractory to high concentrations of PDB (100 nM). We propose that the [Ca2+]i oscillations induced in rat hepatocytes by Ap3A are mediated by the same purinoceptor that mediates the effects of ADP, whereas the oscillations induced by Ap4A are mediated by the same purinoceptor(s) that mediate the effects of ATP.

Ca2+ Effects on ATP Production and Consumption Have Regulatory Roles on Oscillatory Islet Activity.

Project description:Pancreatic islets respond to elevated blood glucose by secreting pulses of insulin that parallel oscillations in ?-cell metabolism, intracellular Ca(2+) concentration, and bursting electrical activity. The mechanisms that maintain an oscillatory response are not fully understood, yet several models have been proposed. Only some can account for experiments supporting that metabolism is intrinsically oscillatory in ?-cells. The dual oscillator model (DOM) implicates glycolysis as the source of oscillatory metabolism. In the companion article, we use recently developed biosensors to confirm that glycolysis is oscillatory and further elucidate the coordination of metabolic and electrical signals in the insulin secretory pathway. In this report, we modify the DOM by incorporating an established link between metabolism and intracellular Ca(2+) to reconcile model predictions with experimental observations from the companion article. With modification, we maintain the distinguishing feature of the DOM, oscillatory glycolysis, but introduce the ability of Ca(2+) influx to reshape glycolytic oscillations by promoting glycolytic efflux. We use the modified model to explain measurements from the companion article and from previously published experiments with islets.

Mitochondria supply ATP to the ER through a mechanism antagonized by cytosolic Ca2.

Project description:The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) imports ATP and uses energy from ATP hydrolysis for protein folding and trafficking. However, little is known about how this vital ATP transport occurs across the ER membrane. Here, using three commonly used cell lines (CHO, INS1 and HeLa), we report that ATP enters the ER lumen through a cytosolic Ca2+-antagonized mechanism, or CaATiER (Ca2+-Antagonized Transport into ER). Significantly, we show that mitochondria supply ATP to the ER and a SERCA-dependent Ca2+ gradient across the ER membrane is necessary for ATP transport into the ER, through SLC35B1/AXER. We propose that under physiological conditions, increases in cytosolic Ca2+ inhibit ATP import into the ER lumen to limit ER ATP consumption. Furthermore, the ATP level in the ER is readily depleted by oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) inhibitors and that ER protein misfolding increases ATP uptake from mitochondria into the ER. These findings suggest that ATP usage in the ER may increase mitochondrial OxPhos while decreasing glycolysis, i.e. an 'anti-Warburg' effect.

A calcium ion-dependent adenosine triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase in plasma membrane from rat liver. Demonstration that the adenosine triphosphate analogues adenosine 5'-[betagamma-imido]triphosphate and adenosine 5'-[betagamma-methylene]-triphosphate are substrates for the enzyme.

Project description:An ATP pyrophosphohydrolase in a rat liver plasma-membrane subfraction was studied with respect to specific Ca2+ activation of the beta-phosphate bond hydrolysis. ATP and, in addition, adenosine 5'-[betagamma-imido]triphosphate and adenosine 5'-[betagamma-methlylene]triphosphate were substrates for Ca2+-stimulated enzymic hydrolysis of the beta-phosphate bond. A 15-fold activation was observed by raising the free Ca2+ concentration from 10(-7) to 10(-5) M. Mg2+ had little effect. Solubilization in 1% deoxycholate and partial purification on a sucrose density gradient resulted in a 5-fold increase in specific activity with unaltered Ca2+-stimulation pattern. The possible importance of the enzyme in Ca2+ transport is discussed.

Glutamine triggers and potentiates glucagon-like peptide-1 secretion by raising cytosolic Ca2+ and cAMP.

Project description:L-glutamine stimulates glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) secretion in human subjects and cell lines. As recent advances have enabled the study of primary GLP-1-releasing L cells, this study aimed to characterize glutamine-sensing pathways in native murine L cells. L cells were identified using transgenic mice with cell-specific expression of fluorescent markers. Cells were studied in primary colonic cultures from adult mice, or purified by flow cytometry for expression analysis. Intracellular Ca(2+) was monitored in cultures loaded with Fura2, and cAMP was studied using Förster resonance energy transfer sensors expressed in GLUTag cells. Asparagine, phenylalanine, and glutamine (10 mm) triggered GLP-1 release from primary cultures, but glutamine was the most efficacious, increasing secretion 1.9-fold with an EC(50) of 0.19 mm. Several amino acids triggered Ca(2+) changes in L cells, comparable in magnitude to that induced by glutamine. Glutamine-induced Ca(2+) responses were abolished in low Na(+) solution and attenuated in Ca(2+) free solution, suggesting a role for Na(+) dependent uptake and Ca(2+) influx. The greater effectiveness of glutamine as a secretagogue was paralleled by its ability to increase cAMP in GLUTag cells. Glutamine elevated intracellular cAMP to 36% of that produced by a maximal stimulus, whereas asparagine only increased intracellular cAMP by 24% and phenylalanine was without effect. Glutamine elevates both cytosolic Ca(2+) and cAMP in L cells, which may account for the effectiveness of glutamine as a GLP-1 secretagogue. Therapeutic agents like glutamine that target synergistic pathways in L cells might play a future role in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
