Abstract:
:Rat brain P2Y(1) (rP2Y(1)) receptor-transfected human embryonic kidney cells (HEK 293) were recently shown to have enhanced reactivity to both ATP and ADP (Vöhringer C, Schäfer R, Reiser G. Biochem Pharmacol 2000;59:791-800). Here, we demonstrated the usefulness of this cell line as a system for further studying novel adenine nucleotide analogues (Halbfinger et al. J Med Chem 1999;42:5325-37) and for the biochemical characterization of the P2Y(1) receptor. By measurement of intracellular Ca(2+) release, for 2-butylthio-, 2-butylamino-, and 2-butyloxy-ATP (2-BuS-, 2-BuNH-, 2-BuO-ATP), EC(50) values of 1.3, 5, and 60 nM were determined, markedly lower than the value for ATP (130 nM). The EC(50) for 2-BuSADP was 1.1 nM. The corresponding 8-substituted ATP analogues showed a substantially lower potency than ATP (ATP > 8-BuSATP > 8-BuNHATP approximately 8-BuOATP). AMP induced intracellular Ca(2+) release with a very low potency; 2- and 8-substitutions on AMP caused no significant potency shift, except for 2-BuSAMP (EC(50) = 180 nM). Another new P2Y receptor probe, 2-[(6-biotinylamido)-hexylthio]ATP, was 22-fold more potent than ATP (EC(50) = 6 nM), revealing that even more bulky substituents linked to the C-2 position bind with high affinity at the P2Y(1) receptor. This biotinylated probe was successfully used for the enrichment of the P2Y(1) receptor tagged with green fluorescent protein from a crude membrane fraction. This one-step enrichment provides a substantial advance for P2Y(1) receptor purification. Thus, human embryonic kidney 293 cells stably transfected with the rP2Y(1) receptor represent a powerful model system for pharmacological characterization of the P2Y(1) receptor, circumventing problems associated with natural systems. They provide a means for the development of P2Y(1) ligands of high potency and a good source for obtaining purified P2Y(1) receptor.
