摘要
Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) stimulates a [Ca2+](i) increase via specific ionotropic receptors, termed P2X receptors, in rat midbrain presynaptic terminals. A microfluorimetric technique enabled study of the [Ca2+](i) increase in isolated single synaptic terminals, showing that 33.4 +/- 2.5% of them responded to ATP. Immunological studies carried out, after functional studies, with specific anti-P2X receptor subunit antibodies showed only positive labelling with anti-P2X(3) antibodies in 23.5 +/- 1.7% Of the terminals. All positively P2X(3) labelled synaptic terminals responded to ATP. Nevertheless, not all of them responded to alpha,beta -meATP, these representing 6.7 +/- 1.5% of the total. In addition, 9.8 +/- 2.3% of the terminals responded to ATP but exhibit negative P2X(3)-labelling. These results demonstrate the existence of a heterogeneous population of ionotropic ATP receptors at the presynaptic level. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
