| Abstract | 1. The activation of P(2x)-receptors in the rat renal vasculature by dinucleoside polyphosphates with variable phosphate group chain length (Xp(n)X; X=Adenin (A) /Guanin (G), n=4 - 6) was studied by measuring their effects on perfusion pressure of the isolated perfused rat kidney at constant flow in an open circuit. 2. Like Ap(4)A, Ap(5)A and Ap(6)A the dinucleoside polyphosphates Ap(4)G, Ap(5)G and Ap(6)G exerted a vasoconstriction which could be blocked by suramin and pyridoxal-phosphate-6-azophenyl-2; 4-disulphonic acid (PPADS). 3. Gp(4)G, Gp(5)G and Gp(6)G showed only very weak vasoconstriction at high doses. 4. Ap(6)A and alpha, beta-meATP could not be blocked by the selective P(2x1)-receptor antagonisten NF023 (30 microM), whereas Ap(4)A, Ap(4)G, Ap(5)A, Ap(5)G and Ap(6)G were partially blocked by NF023. 5. Inhibition of endothelial NO-synthase by N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) did not affect vasoconstrictions induced by dinucleosidepolyphosphates. 6. P(2x)-receptor can only be activated if at least one adenosine moiety is present in the molecule. 7. Ap(n)G show a weaker vasoconstrictive action than corresponding Ap(n)A, concluding that two adenosine moieties enhance the P(2x)-receptor binding and activation. 8. Xp(n)X containing five phosphate groups show the most pronounced vasoconstrictive effect whereas four phosphate groups show the less effect, therefore the number of phosphate groups critically changes receptor affinity. 9. Additional experiments using permanent perfusion with alpha, beta-methylene ATP (alpha,beta-meATP) and the selective P(2x1)-receptor antagonist NF023 showed that the newly discovered human dinucleoside polyphosphates activated the vascular P(2x1)-receptor and an recently identified new P(2x)-receptor subtype. 10. The differential effects of dinucleoside polyphosphates allow a fine tuning of local perfusion via composition of Xp(n)Xs. |

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.
