Current knowledge on the nucleotide agonists for the P2Y2 receptor

P2Y receptors are G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) for extracellular nucleotides. There are eight mammalian P2Y receptor subtypes (P2Y1, P2Y2, P2Y4, P2Y6, P2Y11, P2Y12, P2Y13, and P2Y14). P2Y2 receptors are widely expressed and play important roles in multiple functionalities. Diquafosol tetrasodium, known as INS365, which was the first P2Y2 receptor agonists that had been approved in April 2010 and launched in Japan by Santen Pharmaceuticals. Besides, a series of similar agonists for the P2Y2 receptor are undergoing development to cure different diseases related to the P2Y2 receptor. This article illustrated the structure and functions of the P2Y2 receptor and focused on several kinds of agonists about their molecular structures, research progress and chemical synthesis methods. Last but not the least, we summarized the structures-activity relationship (SAR) of agonists for the P2Y2 receptor and expected more efficient agonists for the P2Y2 receptor.

Chromosomes of Phagocata kawakatsui and Bdellocephala annandalei from Lake Biwa-ko in Honshú, central Japan

Two lake-dwelling species of paludicolen triclads from Lake Biwa-ko (Honshû, Japan) were studied taxonomically and karyologically. (1) Phagocata kawakatsui Okugawa, 1956, is an epigean species usually inhabiting shallow springs and spring-fed streams in Central Japan. In Lake Biwa-ko, animals were obtained from several bottom stations of the littoral area in the southern part of the northern basin (3–70 m in depth). Chromosome numbers and karyotype: 2x=24 (2m+2sm+2sm+2m+2sm+2m+2sm+2m+2m+2sm+2m+2m). The first pair of metacentric chromosomes is very large in size. (2) Bdellocephala annandalei Ijima et Kaburaki, 1916, an endemic species, is distributed widely in the deep areas of the northern basin (30 to over 100 m in depth). Chromosome numbers and karyotype: 2x=28 (2m+2sm+2sm+2sm+2sm+2m+2m+2m+2m+2m+2m+2m+2m+2m) with the first pair of metacentric chromosomes very long.     

Biosynthetic studies on the alpha-glucosidase inhibitor acarbose: the chemical synthesis of isotopically labeled 2-epi-5-epi-valiolone analogs

2-epi-5-epi-valiolone is a cyclization product of the C(7) sugar phosphate, sedoheptulose 7-phosphate, involved in the biosynthesis of the aminocyclitol moieties of acarbose, validamycin, and pyralomicin. As part of our investigation into the pathway from 2-epi-5-epi-valiolone to the valienamine moiety of acarbose, we prepared 1-epi-5-epi-(6-(2)H(2))valiolol [(6-(2)H(2))-6], 5-epi-(6-(2)H(2))valiolol [(6-(2)H(2))-17], 1-epi-2-epi-5-epi-(6-(2)H(2))valiolol [(6-(2)H(2))-12] and 2-epi-5-epi-(6-(2)H(2))valiolamine [(6-(2)H(2))-11]. Compounds (6-(2)H(2))-6 and (6-(2)H(2))-17 were synthesized from 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-D-glucopyranose in 10 and seven steps, respectively, whereas (6-(2)H(2))-12 and (6-(2)H(2))-11 were synthesized from 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-D-mannopyranose in eight and 10 steps, respectively.

P2X2, P2X2–2 and P2X5 receptor subunit expression and function in rat thoracolumbar sympathetic neurons

The present study investigated the pharmacological properties of excitatory P2X receptors and P2X(2) and P2X(5) receptor subunit expression in rat-cultured thoracolumbar sympathetic neurons. In patch-clamp recordings, ATP (3-1000 microM; applied for 1 s) induced inward currents in a concentration-dependent manner. Pyridoxal-phosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulfonate (PPADS; 30 microM) counteracted the ATP response. In contrast to ATP, alpha,beta-meATP (30 microM; for 1 s) was virtually ineffective. Prolonged application of ATP (100 microM; 10 s) induced receptor desensitization in a significant proportion of sympathetic neurons in a manner typical for P2X(2-2) splice variant-mediated responses. Using single-cell RT-PCR, P2X(2), P2X(2-2) and P2X(5) mRNA expression was detectable in individual tyrosine hydroxylase-positive neurons; coexpression of both P2X(2) isoforms was not observed. Laser scanning microscopy revealed both P2X(2) and P2X(5) immunoreactivity in virtually every TH-positive neuron. P2X(2) immunoreactivity was largely distributed over the cell body, whereas P2X(5) immunoreactivity was most distinctly located close to the nucleus. In summary, the present study demonstrates the expression of P2X(2), P2X(2-2) and P2X(5) receptor subunits in rat thoracolumbar neurons. The functional data in conjunction with a preferential membranous localization of P2X(2)/P2X(2-2) compared with P2X(5) suggest that the excitatory P2X responses are mediated by P2X(2) and P2X(2-2) receptors. Apparently there exist two types of P2X(2) receptor-bearing sympathetic neurons: one major population expressing the unspliced isoform and another minor population expressing the P2X(2-2) splice variant.     

Intracellular-produced hydroxyl radical mediates H2O2-induced Ca2+ influx and cell death in rat beta-cell line RIN-5F

The melastatin-related transient receptor potential channel TRPM2 is a Ca(2+)-permeable channel that is activated by H(2)O(2), and the Ca(2+) influx through TRPM2 mediates cell death. However, the responsible oxidants for TRPM2 activation remain to be identified. In the present study, we investigated the involvement of hydroxyl radical on TRPM2 activation in TRPM2-expressing HEK293 cells and the rat beta-cell line RIN-5F. In both cell types, H(2)O(2) induced Ca(2+) influx in a concentration-dependent manner. However, the addition of hydroxyl radical, which was produced by mixing FeSO(4) and H(2)O(2), to the cells, did not increase intracellular Ca(2+) concentration. Interestingly, when H(2)O(2) was added to the cells under intracellular Fe(2+)-accumulated conditions, Ca(2+) influx was markedly enhanced compared to H(2)O(2) alone. In addition, the H(2)O(2)-induced Ca(2+) influx was reduced by hydroxyl radical scavengers and an iron chelator. Under intracellular Fe(2+)-accumulated conditions, H(2)O(2)-induced RIN-5F cell death through TRPM2 activation was also markedly enhanced. Hydroxyl radical scavengers and an iron chelator suppressed the RIN-5F cell death by H(2)O(2). These results strongly suggest that the intracellular hydroxyl radical plays a key role in the activation of TRPM2 during H(2)O(2) treatment, and TRPM2 activation mediated by hydroxyl radical is implicated in H(2)O(2)-induced cell death in the beta-cell line RIN-5F.     

Hydrogen peroxide suppresses U937 cell death by two different mechanisms depending on its concentration

To investigate the mechanisms of H2O2 adaptation in mammalian cells, we exposed human U937 leukemia cells to 0.05 mM H2O2. This treatment significantly suppressed cell death and DNA fragmentation induced by a subsequent challenge with 1 mM H2O2. A more dramatic protection was observed when cells were pretreated with 0.25 mM H2O2. Pretreatment with either 0.05 or 0.25 mM H2O2 also imparted cells with a survival advantage against serum withdrawal and C2-ceramide treatment. H2O2 was found to be a mediator of cell death induced by serum withdrawal, but not by the addition of C2-ceramide. Interestingly, 0.25 mM H2O2 greatly induced glutathione peroxidase, a H2O2-consuming enzyme, whereas 0.05 mM H2O2 did not. Consistent with observation, pretreatment with 0.25 mM H2O2 resulted in a great reduction of cellular oxidant levels as determined by 2'7'-dichlorofluorescein fluorescence, and it also prevented elevation of oxidant levels upon subsequent challenge with 1 mM H2O2 or with serum withdrawal. These effects were not observed in cells pretreated with 0.05 mM H2O2. The sum of the data indicated that H2O2 suppresses cell death by two different mechanisms depending on its concentration: Relatively high concentrations enhance cellular antioxidant capacity, and lower concentrations block the lethal action of H2O2.
