title: Effects of P(1) and P2 receptor antagonists on beta, gamma-methyleneATP- and CGS21680-induced cyclic AMP formation in NG108-15 cells.
abstract: 1. We have previously shown that ATP increased cyclic AMP in NG108-15 cells, which was inhibited by P(1) receptor antagonist methylxanthines. In the present study, we examined the effects of P(1) and P2 receptor antagonists on cyclic AMP formation induced by beta,gamma-methyleneATP (beta,gamma-MeATP) and CGS21680, an A(2A) adenosine receptor agonist, in NG108-15 cells. 2. beta,gamma-MeATP and CGS21680 increased intracellular cyclic AMP with EC(50) values of 8. 0+/-0.98 microM (n=4) and 42+/-7.5 nM (n=4), respectively. 3. Several P(1) receptor antagonists inhibited both beta,gamma-MeATP- and CGS21680-induced cyclic AMP increase with a similar rank order of potency; ZM241385>CGS15943>XAC>DPCPX. However, the pK(i) values of these antagonists for beta,gamma-MeATP were larger than those for CGS21680. 4. Alloxazine, a P(1) receptor antagonist, and several P2 receptor antagonists (PPADS, iPPADS, reactive blue-2) inhibited beta, gamma-MeATP-induced response, while these antagonists little affected CGS21680-induced one. Suramin was effective only for beta, gamma-MeATP-induced response at 1 mM. 5. 2-chloroadenosine (2CADO) and 2-chloroATP (2ClATP) increased cyclic AMP with similar potencies. The effects of these agonists were both inhibited by ZM241385, but only 2ClATP-induced response was inhibited by PPADS. 6. ATP- and beta, gamma-MeATP-induced responses were little affected by alpha, beta-methyleneADP, a 5'-nucleotidase inhibitor. 7. These results clearly demonstrate that ATP-stimulated cyclic AMP formation can be distinguished from the A(2A) receptor agonist-induced one by using the several P(1) and P2 receptor antagonists.
