Outline of Final Research Achievements

Cellular release of ATP is a key event in purinergic signaling in animal tissues. We showed previously that the ATP release is mediated by Maxi-Cl in many cell types including cardiomyocytes. Here, we have identified SLCO2A1, which is known to be a prostaglandin transporter (PGT), as the pore component of Maxi-Cl. Also, we have shown that SLCO2A1 is involved in swelling-induced ATP release from Maxi-Cl-rich C127 cells. When Langendorff-perfused mouse hearts were subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD), ATP was released to the coronary effluent upon reperfusion. This OGD-induced heart ATP release was suppressed by in vivo pre-injection of SLCO2A1-siRNA or by application of a PGT blocker, indicating a SLCO2A1 involvement in the OGD-induced cardiac ATP release. This ATP release was associated with increased left ventricular developed pressure, in a manner sensitive to an adenosine A1 receptor antagonist, suggesting a protective role of released ATP via A1 receptor signaling.
