Abstract
Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP+) is an intracellular second messenger releasing Ca2+ from intracellular stores in different cell types. In addition, it is also active in triggering [Ca2+](i) increase when applied extracellularly and various underlying mechanisms have been proposed. Here, we used hP2Y(11)-transfected 1321N1 astrocytoma cells to unequivocally establish whether extracellular NAADP+ is an agonist of the P2Y(11) receptor, as previously reported for beta-NAD+ [I. Moreschi, S. Bruzzone, R.A. Nicholas, et al., Extracellular NAD+ is an agonist of the human P2Y11 purinergic receptor in human granulocytes, J. Biol. Chem. 281 (2006) 31419-31429]. Extracellular NAADP+ triggered a concentration-dependent two-step elevation of [Ca2+](i) in 1321N1-hP2Y(11) cells, but not in wild-type 1321N1 cells, secondary to the intracellular production of IP(3), cAMP and cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR).

In conclusion, we provide unequivocal evidence for the activation of a member of the P2Y receptor subfamily by NAADP+.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
