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


ABSTRACT: 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.
