| Abstract | Purines induce transient contraction and prolonged relaxation of detrusor muscles. Transient contraction is likely due to activation of inward currents in smooth muscle cells, and prolonged relaxation may be due to activation of small-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (SK) channels via P2Y1 receptors expressed by detrusor PDGF receptor (PDGFR) (+) cells. We investigated whether other subtypes of P2Y receptors are involved in the activation of SK channels in PDGFR (+) cells of detrusor muscles. Quantitative analysis of transcripts revealed that P2ry2, P2ry4, and P2ry14 are expressed in PDGFR (+) cells of P2ry1-deficient/enhanced green fluorescent protein (P2ry1(-/-)/eGFP) mice at similar levels as in wild-type mice. UTP, a P2Y2/P2Y4 agonist, activated large outward currents in detrusor PDGFR (+) cells. SK channel blockers and an inhibitor of phospholipase C completely abolished currents activated by UTP. In contrast, UTP activated nonselective cation currents in smooth muscle cells. Under current-clamp (current = 0), UTP induced significant hyperpolarization of PDGFR (+) cells. MRS2500, a selective P2Y1 antagonist, did not affect UTP-activated outward currents in PDGFR (+) cells from wild-type mice, and activation of outward currents by UTP was retained in P2ry1(-/-)/eGFP mice. As a negative control, we tested the effect of MRS2693, a selective P2Y6 agonist. This compound did not activate outward currents in PDGFR (+) cells, and currents activated by UTP were unaffected by MRS2578, a selective P2Y6 antagonist. The nonselective P2Y receptor blocker suramin inhibited UTP-activated outward currents in PDGFR (+) cells. Our data demonstrate that P2Y2 and/or P2Y4 receptors function, in addition to P2Y1 receptors, in activating SK currents in PDGFR (+) cells and possibly in mediating purinergic relaxation responses in detrusor muscles. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
