title: The P2Y11 receptor mediates the ATP-induced maturation of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells.
abstract: Recently, it has been shown that ATP and TNF-alpha synergize in the activation and maturation of human dendritic cells (DC); the effect of ATP was reproduced by hydrolysis-resistant derivatives of ATP and was blocked by suramin, suggesting the involvement of a P2 receptor, but the particular subtype involved was not identified. In this report we confirm that ATP and various derivatives synergize with TNF-alpha and LPS to induce the maturation of human monocyte-derived DC, as revealed by up-regulation of the CD83 marker and the secretion of IL-12. The rank order of potency of various analogs (AR-C67085 > adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) = 2'- and 3'-O-(4-benzoyl-benzoyl) ATP > ATP > 2-methylthio-ATP) was close to that of the recombinant human P2Y11 receptor. Furthermore, these compounds activated cAMP production in DC, in a xanthine-insensitive way, consistent with the involvement of the P2Y11 receptor, which among P2Y subtypes has the unique feature of being dually coupled to phospholipase C and adenylyl cyclase activation. The involvement of the P2Y11/cAMP/protein kinase A signaling pathway in the nucleotide-induced maturation of DC is supported by the inhibitory effect of H89, a protein kinase A inhibitor. Taken together, our results demonstrate that ATP activates DC through stimulation of the P2Y11 receptor and subsequent increase in intracellular cAMP.
