The involvement of the P2 receptor in the activation of ERK induced by a short transient fluid flow stimulation in MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts was examined in the current study. The ERK activation induced by this transient fluid flow stimulation was followed by an increase in c-fos mRNA expression. Suramin, a non-selective P2 receptor antagonist, and two different P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) antagonists, ATP analogue (oxidized ATP) and dye (Brilliant blue G), inhibited fluid flow-induced ERK activation. However, the P2Y receptor pathway inhibitor U73122 did not abolish this ERK activation. The P2X7R agonist 2',3'-O-(4-benzoylbenzoyl)-ATP (BzATP) significantly increased ERK activation and this activation could be completely inhibited by oxidized ATP and Brilliant blue G. Our results suggest that P2X7R is a highly sensitive P2 receptor for fluid flow-induced ERK activation in osteoblasts.
在本研究中,检测了P2受体在短暂瞬态流体流动刺激诱导的MC3T3-E1成骨细胞ERK激活中的作用。这种短暂瞬态流体流动刺激诱导的ERK激活之后是c-fos mRNA表达增加。苏拉明,一种非选择性P2受体拮抗剂,以及两种不同的P2X7受体(P2X7R)拮抗剂,ATP类似物(氧化ATP)和染料(亮蓝G),抑制了流体流动诱导的ERK激活。然而,P2Y受体途径抑制剂U73122并未消除这种ERK激活。P2X7R激动剂2',3'-O-(4-苯甲酰苯甲酰基)-ATP(BzATP)显著增加ERK激活,并且这种激活可被氧化ATP和亮蓝G完全抑制。我们的结果表明,P2X7R是成骨细胞中流体流动诱导的ERK激活的高度敏感的P2受体。
