Abstract:
:The opening of pannexin-1 (Px1) hemichannels is regulated by the activity of P2X(7) receptors (P2X(7)Rs). At present, however, little is known about how extracellular ATP-sensitive P2X(7)Rs regulates the opening and closure of Px1 hemichannels. Several lines of evidence suggest that P2X(7)Rs are activated under pathological conditions such as ischemia, resulting in the opening of Px1 hemichannels responsible for the massive influx of Ca(2+) from the extracellular space and the release of ATP from the cytoplasm, leading to cell death. Here we show in cultured astrocytes that the suppression of the activity of P2X(7)Rs during simulated ischemia (oxygen/glucose deprivation, OGD) resulted in the opening of Px1 hemichannels, leading to the enhanced release of ATP. In addition, the suppression of the activity of P2X(7)Rs during OGD resulted in a significant increase in astrocytic damage. Both the P2X(7)Rs suppression-induced enhancement of the release of ATP and cell damage were reversed by co-treatment with blockers of Px1 hemichannels, suggesting that suppression of the activity of PX(7)Rs resulted in the opening of Px1 hemichannels. All these findings suggested the existence of a negative-feedback loop regulating the release of ATP via Px1 hemichannels; ATP-induced suppression of ATP release. The present study indicates that ATP, released through Px1 hemichannels, activates P2X(7)Rs, resulting in the closure of Px1 hemichannels during ischemia. This negative-feedback mechanism, suppressing the loss of cellular ATP and Ca(2+) influx, might contribute to the survival of astrocytes under ischemic stress.
