P2Y2 receptor elevates intracellular calcium concentration in rabbit eye suprachoroid.

Effects of ATP on the intracellular free calcium ion concentration ([Ca2+]i) in the rabbit eye suprachoroid were investigated by means of fura-2 microfluorophotometry. ATP application (10 to 100 microM) elicited a dose-dependent biphasic [Ca2+]i-increase: a fast phase typically peaking within 30 s and a following slow plateau phase, which lasted during the presence of ATP. The slow plateau phase was markedly diminished by removal of extracellular Ca2+, whereas the fast phase remained. An inhibitor of Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (TMB-8), an endoplasmic Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor (thapsigargin) and a phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor (U-73122) diminished the fast phase. A P2 receptor antagonist (Suramin) inhibited the ATP-induced [Ca2+]i-response. The potency order of ATP and related substances in producing the [Ca2+]i-elevation was UTP approximately equals ATP>ATP-gamma-S>ITP>ADP. beta,gamma-MethyleneATP, 2-methylthioATP and UDP evoked no response. This order is consistent with the P2Y2 receptor characteristics. Cross-desensitization between ATP and UTP excludes the co-existence of the other types of receptors. In conclusion, the ATP-induced [Ca2+]i-elevation in the rabbit eye suprachoroid was elicited by the Ca2+ release from the PLC-dependent, thapsigargin-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ storage sites by activating P2Y2 nucleotide receptors.
