ATP‐activated Ca2+‐permeable channels in rat peritoneal macrophages

Abstract: The patch-clamp technique was used to study mechanisms of ATP-indueed Ca-" influx in rat peritoneal naacrophages. The experiments on whole-cell and patch membranes have .~hown that extracellular ATP activates channels permeable to di-and monovalent inorganic cations. Ratios of unitary channd conductanees in 105 mM Ca :~, Sr ~÷. Mn"*, Ba '÷ and normal sodium solutions were 1.0, 0.95, 0.75, 0.55 and 0.85, respectively. The channels could open in the presence of non-hydrolyzable GTP analogues in artificial intrac… Show more

“…The absence of voltage-dependent channels is not surprising given that myeloid DC, like other leukocytes, are essentially nonexcitable, and voltage-gated Ca 2ϩ channels have not been clearly demonstrated in leukocytes (4). In contrast, ATP-gated cation channels are expressed in macrophages (closely related myeloid-lineage cells) (21), mast cells (33), and T cells (22)(23)(24). ATPgated channels are Ca 2ϩ permeable.…”

“…In view of the monocytic origin of microglia it is interesting to note that ATP is able to permeabilize to cations the plasma membranes of rat (Naumov et al, 1992) and mouse peritoneal macrophages (Steinberg et al, 1987), and of the murine macrophage-like cell-line J774 (Sung et al, 1985;Steinberg et al, 1987). This effect is associated with depolarization (Sung et al, 1985;Buisman et al, 1988) and an increase in membrane conductance (Buisman et al, 1988).…”

“…Hence, these channels can be referred to as G protein-gated channels (Yatani et al 1987a) in contrast to the channels that are merely regulated by G proteins (Holz, Rane & Dunlap, 1986;Yatani et al 1987 b;Dolphin, Scott & Wooton, 1988;Schubert, VanDongen, Kirsh & Brown, 1989;Mathie, Bernheim & Hille, 1992). The G protein-gated Ca2P-permeable channels dependent on activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor have been characterized in our previous studies on A431 cells (Mozhayeva et al 1991;Naumov et al 1993;Kuryshev et al 1993 (Naumov et at. 1992) are identical to those activated under normal conditions by ATP bound to the receptor.…”
