Abstract

ATP is a pleiotropic molecule that promotes extra- and intracellular signaling to regulate numerous functions. This nucleotide activates purine and pyrimidine receptors at the plasma membrane, categorized as ionotropic P2X or G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) P2Y receptors. P2X are ligand-gated ion channel receptors, expressed in both retinal neurons and Müller cells leading to neuron-glia communication, calcium waves and neurovascular coupling. However, how P2X pore is formed upon ATP activation and how signaling pathways regulates the complex is still a matter of controversy. Here we studied the properties of the P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) using electrophysiology, single cell Ca imaging, and dye uptake assay in purified avian Müller glia in culture. Our data show that ATP (or benzoyl-benzoyl ATP, BzATP) evoked large inward currents in patch-clamp studies while addition of P2X7R antagonist such as brilliant Blue G (BBG), abolished these currents. Ruthenium red (RU-2), a general transient receptor potential (TRP) inhibitor, reduced currents induced by ATP. Our data also point to the involvement of mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK), phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), Ca-calmodulin kinase II (CAMKII), microtubules or protein kinase C (PKC) modulating ATP-induced ionic current in Müller cells. We show that ATP induced Ca influx, partially inhibited by P2X7R antagonists (oxidized ATP or BBG), and totally inhibited by blockers of other pores such as transient receptor potential (TRPs) or connexin hemichannel. Additionally, MAPK, PKC, PI3K or CAMKII inhibitors also are involved in the modulation of intracellular calcium signaling. Finally, ATP induced 80-90% of dye uptake in Muller glia cells, while oxidized ATP (oATP), BBG or A740003 inhibited this effect. We conclude that large conductance channel and other P2XRs are not involved in the ATP-induced dye uptake, but signaling pathways such as MAPK, PI3-K, microtubules or PKC are involved in pore formation.
