Secretion of IL-2 and IFN-gamma, but not IL-4, by antigen-specific T cells requires extracellular ATP.
    Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950), 2003, Mar-15, Volume: 170, Issue:6

    Extracellular ATP and other nucleotides transmit signals to cells via surface-associated molecules whose binding sites face the extracellular milieu. Ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase is such an ATP-binding enzyme that is expressed by activated lymphocytes. We have previously shown that nonhydrolyzable ATP analogs block the lytic activity of NK cells and CD8(+) T cells as well as their E-NTPDase activity. These results suggest that the hydrolysis of ATP may play a role in lymphocyte function. Here we report that E-NTPDase activity is up-regulated within 15 min of T cell stimulation and that reversible and irreversible enzyme inhibitors profoundly reduce secretion of IL-2 and IFN-gamma, but not IL-4. TNF-alpha, IL-10, and IL-5 production showed intermediate sensitivity to these ATP analogs. Depletion of extracellular ATP also inhibited secretion of IFN-gamma, but not IL-4, supporting the interpretation that extracellular ATP is required for secretion of some, but not all, cytokines. E-NTPDase antagonists reduced transcription of IL-2 mRNA and inhibited TCR-mediated intracellular calcium flux. These results suggest that extracellular ATP plays an essential role in the TCR-mediated signal transduction cascade for expression of certain cytokine genes.

Ecto-ATPase activity in cytolytic T-lymphocytes. Protection from the cytolytic effects of extracellular ATP.
    The Journal of biological chemistry, 1990, Jan-05, Volume: 265, Issue:1

    Addition of ATP or ATP analog to the incubation media is shown to result in cell death in experiments with different cultured cell lines as evidenced by the results of several independent assays, both in the absence or presence of extracellular Ca2+. Cytolytic T-lymphocyte (CTL) clone itself was not only resistant to cytolytic effects of ATP, but was able to "rescue" antigen-nonbearing 51Cr-labeled cells from lytic effects of extracellular ATP (but not from lytic effects of adenosine 5'-thiotriphosphate) when present during assay. To test whether the resistance of CTL to ATP is due to a high activity of ecto-ATPase, four independent assays of ATPase activity were utilized to demonstrate the presence and relatively high activity of the ecto-ATPase(s) on CTL surface. Studies of substrate specificity of CTL ecto-ATPase suggest that there is more than one nucleoside 5'-triphosphatase on the surface of CTL. The enzyme(s) activity is Ca2+- and Mg2+-dependent and in this respect is similar to recently described hepatic cells ecto-ATPase. We tested effects of known ATP-binding site-specific reagents fluorescein 5'-isothiocyanate (FITC) and 5'-fluorosulfonylbenzoyladenosine (FSBA) to find covalent modification procedures to be used in studies of functional role of ecto-ATPase. FSBA, but not FITC, inhibits lymphocyte ecto-ATPase but addition of ATP together with FSBA protects ecto-ATPase activity. Inactivation of CTL ecto-ATPase by pretreatment with FSBA makes CTL susceptible to lytic effects of extracellular ATP, as was hypothesized for the functional role of this enzyme in CTL.
