| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
ATP is now recognized as a ubiquitous extracellular messenger in whole body. ATP-releases are often induced by mechanical stresses, implying important roles of ATP in mechano-transduction. We had developed a real-time ATP luminescence imaging system with simultaneous DIC imaging using infrared under an upright microscope. Herein, the system was improved to enable a simultaneous or fast exchangable imaging of luminescence and fluorescence images. Using this system, we found that wound closure was accelerated by stretch stimulation in keratinocytes and the acceleration was due to ATP release via hemichannels and sustained Ca2+ increase via TRPC6 activation. We also found that in several types of cells and tissues, ATP was released by stretch or mechanical stimulations and its time courses and spatial distribution were depended on the cell types. These findings demonstrate a diversity of ATP release mechanisms and confirm an effectiveness of the ATP real-time imaging.
