Roles of P2X receptors and Ca2+ sensitization in extracellular adenosine triphosphate‐induced hyperresponsiveness in airway smooth muscle

Abstract: Pre-treatment with ATP induces hyperresponsiveness to MCh mediated by Ca2+ sensitization via the P2X receptor in airway smooth muscle. The present findings suggest the possible involvement of both the Rho-kinase and Src pathways in the intracellular mechanism of this phenomenon.

“…The differences between that study and ours may be due to the use of mouse and human endothelial cells in the previous study, which also used a long-lasting ATP preparation (ATP␥S). Lung endothelial and epithelial cells have several receptors that could interact with extracellular ATP, including those of the P2Y and P2X families (19,20,27). Particular attention has been paid to the role of P2X 7 in the response to ATP.…”

“…ATP modulates airway smooth muscle contractility, exacerbates neurogenic bronchoconstriction via the stimulation of lung afferent nerve terminals, and activates immune cells [2][3][4][5]. Extracellular ATP has been described to play a role in the inflammatory process [6], and the increase in extracellular ATP concentration has been suggested to precipitate exacerbations in COPD [7].…”

“…Measurement of adenosine, ATP, and AMP in sputum or exhaled breath condensate has been used as a noninvasive method to track airway inflammation (Huszá r et al, 2002;Esther et al, 2008). Extracellular ATP was reported to sensitize airway smooth muscle cells to contractile agonists (e.g., metacholine) via P2X receptor activation, without enhancing the induced [Ca 2ϩ ] i rise, and the resulting hyper-responsiveness was referred to as "Ca 2ϩ sensitization" (Oguma et al, 2007). Erythromycin therapy has been used to decrease airway secretion in chronic inflammatory airway diseases (Kondo et al, 1998), perhaps by selectively inhibiting Ca 2ϩ influx through P2X receptor channels (Zhao et al, 2000).…”
