Purinergic receptors in the basolateral and luminal membranes of
the pancreatic duct can act by a feedback mechanism to coordinate transport activity in the two membranes during ductal secretion. The
goal of the present work was to identify and localize the functional P2
receptors (P2R) in the rat pancreatic duct. The lack of selective
agonists and/or antagonists for any of the cloned P2R dictated the use
of molecular and functional approaches to the characterization of
ductal P2R. For the molecular studies, RNA was prepared from
microdissected pancreatic intralobular ducts and was shown to be free
of mRNA for amylase and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (markers for
acinar and endothelial cells, respectively). A new procedure is
described to obtain an enriched preparation of single duct cells
suitable for electrophysiological studies. Localization of P2R was
achieved by testing the effect of various P2R agonists on intracellular
Ca2+ concentration
([Ca2+]i)
of microperfused intralobular ducts. RT-PCR analysis suggested the
expression of six subtypes of P2R in the pancreatic duct: three P2YR
and three P2XR. Activation of
Cl
current by various
nucleotides and coupling of the receptors activated by these
nucleotides to G proteins confirmed the expression of multiple P2R in
duct cells. Measurement of
[Ca2+]i
in microperfused intralobular ducts suggested the expression of
P2X1R,
P2X4R, probably
P2X7R, and as yet unidentified
P2YR, possibly P2Y1R, in the
basolateral membrane. Expression of
P2Y2R, P2Y4R, and
P2X7R was found in the luminal
membrane. The unprecedented expression of such a variety of P2R in one
cell type, many capable of activating
Cl
channels, suggests that
these receptors may have an important role in pancreatic duct cell function.
