Abstract:
:Extracellular adenine dinucleotides are modulators of blood vessel tone. We have previously demonstrated that Ap(2)A and Ap(4)A induce the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO) from bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC) while Ap(3)A and Ap(5)A do not [FEBS Lett. 427 (1998) 320; Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 364 (1999) 280.]. In this communication we determine the effect of Ap(x)As (x=2-5) on prostacyclin (PGI(2)) synthesis and Ca(2+) mobilization in BAEC. Ap(2)A and Ap(4)A significantly enhanced the synthesis of PGI(2) while Ap(3)A and Ap(5)A do not. These data support the notion that Ap(2)A and Ap(4)A are vasodilators. All four dinucleotides significantly enhanced Ca(2+) mobilization over basal levels. Ap(5)A and Ap(3)A enhanced 2.0 and 1.6 times more Ca(2+) release than Ap(4)A, respectively. Since neither Ap(5)A nor Ap(3)A enhanced the synthesis of either PGI(2) or NO but did mobilize Ca(2+), these data support the hypothesis that in BAEC Ca(2+) release is localized or compartmentalized.
