Popis: The lytic release of ATP due to cell and tissue injury constitutes an important source of extracellular nucleotides and may have physiological and pathophysiological roles by triggering purinergic signalling pathways. In the lungs, extracellular ATP can have protective effects by stimulating surfactant and mucus secretion. However, excessive extracellular ATP levels, such as observed in ventilator-induced lung injury, act as a danger-associated signal that activates NLRP3 inflammasome contributing to lung damage. Here, we discuss examples of lytic release that we have identified in our studies using real-time luciferin-luciferase luminescence imaging of extracellular ATP. In alveolar A549 cells, hypotonic shock-induced ATP release shows rapid lytic and slow-rising non-lytic components. Lytic release originates from the lysis of single fragile cells that could be seen as distinct spikes of ATP-dependent luminescence, but under physiological conditions, its contribution is minimal
