lymphocytes

We investigated the effect of pharmacologic modulation of the ATP receptor
on intracellular ion changes and proliferative response of human peripheral
blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and purified T lymphocytes. Extracellular ATP
(ATPe) triggered in these cells an increase in the cytoplasmic Ca2+
concentration ([Ca2+]i) and plasma membrane depolarization. Whereas both
Ca2+ release from intracellular stores and influx across the plasma
membrane were detected in the whole PBL population, only Ca2+ influx was
observed in T cells. In the presence of near physiologic extracellular Na+
concentrations (125 mmol/L), Ca2+ permeability through the ATPe-gated
channel was very low, suggesting a higher selectivity for monovalent over
divalent cations. The selective P2Z agonist benzoylbenzoic ATP (BzATP)
increased [Ca2+]i in the presence but not the absence of extracellular Ca2+
and also caused plasma membrane depolarization. The covalent blocker
oxidized ATP (oATP), an inhibitor of P2X and P2Z receptors, prevented Ca2+
influx and plasma membrane depolarization, but had no effect on Ca2+
release from stores. Stimulation with ATPe alone had no significant effects
on PBL 3H-thymidine incorporation. On the contrary, ATPe or BzATP had a
synergistic effect on DNA synthesis stimulated by selective T-cell mitogens
such as phytohemagglutinin, anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody, or allogenic PBLs
(mixed lymphocyte cultures). Treatment with oATP inhibited mitogenic
stimulation by these receptor-directed agents but not by the combined
application of the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin and phorbol myristate acetate.
Interleukin-2 partially relieved inhibition by oATP. These results suggest
that human T lymphocytes express a plasma membrane channel gated by ATPe
that is involved in mitogenic stimulation.
