1. ADP is a potent agonist of rat and human P2Y1 purinoceptors. ATP is a weak competitive antagonist. This study analyses the situation in which P2Y1 receptors are exposed to ATP in the presence of exogenous ecto-nucleotidases (apyrases) that have high or low ATPase/ADPase activity ratio. 2. Rat brain capillary endothelial cells of the B10 clone express P2Y1 receptors that couple to intracellular Ca2+ mobilization. They have low endogenous ecto-ATPase and ecto-ADPase activities. 3. ATP did not raise intracellular Ca2+ in B10 cells. Addition of apyrases III or VII (1 u ml(-1)) to ATP treated cells induced large intracellular Ca2+ transients. Apyrases had no action in the absence of ATP. 4. A 1 u ml(-1) apyrase III solution generated 20 microM ADP from 0.1 mM ATP within 15 s. This concentration of ADP was sufficient to produce maximal activation of P2Y1 receptors. 5. ATP was a full agonist of P2Y1 receptors in the presence of 1 u ml(-1) apyrase III. Dose response curves for the apparent actions of ATP were bell shaped in the presence of 0.1 u ml(-1) apyrase III. Apyrase III did not alter ADP dose response curves when coincubated with ADP for 15 s. 6. Apyrase VII (1 u ml(-1)) shifted dose response curves for the actions of ADP to larger concentrations. It induced a bell shaped ATP dose response curve. 7. Results suggest that ATPDases prevent P2Y1 receptor activation by degrading ADP but may contribute to P2Y1 receptor activation by generating ADP from ATP. |
