ATP and UTP increase secretion of bronchial inhibitor by human tracheal gland cells in culture

The effects of ATP and UTP on intracellular Ca2+ levels and on the secretion of the bronchial inhibitor and high-molecular-weight glycoproteins were studied in cultures of human bronchotracheal gland cells. ATP, adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (ATP gamma S), and UTP increased intracellular Ca2+ levels in a manner that was partially dependent on the presence of extracellular Ca2+. Other nucleotides (ADP, alpha,beta-methylene ATP, beta,gamma-methylene ATP, and 2-methylthio ATP) and adenosine were ineffective, thus suggesting the presence of a "nucleotide" receptor specific for ATP and UTP. At concentrations similar to those that raised intracellular Ca2+ concentration, ATP, UTP, and ATP gamma S stimulate the secretion of the bronchial inhibitor. ATP and UTP also increase the production of sulfated high-molecular-weight glycoproteins. These results indicate the presence in human tracheal gland cells of a nucleotide receptor that mediates intracellular Ca2+ mobilization and controls the secretion of macromolecules.
