The effects of extracellular ATP on cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) and cell membrane potentials (Vb) of rabbit renal proximal tubules were investigated using fura 2 and microelectrodes. ATP transiently increased [Ca2+]i without an apparent sustained phase, and the maximum effect was obtained at 10 microM. ADP, adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate), and 2-methylthioadenosine 5'-triphosphate were equally effective as ATP, whereas UTP, adenosine, and alpha beta-methyleneadenosine 5'-triphosphate were far less effective. The [Ca2+]i responses to ATP were strongly inhibited by reactive blue 2, a P2-purinergic receptor antagonist. The removal of extracellular Ca2+ as well as the addition of thapsigargin also markedly attenuated the responses to ATP. In addition, ATP had virtually no effect on Vb, except for the occasional small depolarization by 300 microM ATP. These results indicate that extracellular ATP increases [Ca2+]i through a P2-purinergic receptor and that this effect of ATP is dependent on both extracellular and intracellular Ca2+.
