Histological assessment and pathogen burden after eATP treatment. C57BL/6 mice were intratracheally infected with 107 M. pneumoniae for 2 h. Thereafter, 40 µL of CM (or <t>200-µmol</t> <t>ATP)</t> was nasally instilled (once daily for 3 days) or mice were intraperitoneally administered <t>oxATP</t> (6mg/kg) (30 min prior to CM administration). The mice were euthanized, and their lung tissues were subsequently analyzed using histological techniques (A); the BALF was examined for IL-1β and IL-18 concentrations (B).(C and D) M. pneumoniae burden in lung and CFUs in BALF were quantified using quantitative PCR (qPCR) for the Mp P1-adhesin gene relative to GAPDH and cultured on solid pleuropneumonia-like organism (PPLO) agar plates, respectively. (E and F) Mice were nasally instilled 107 M. pneumoniae plus 0.25-µmol 2-DG. The tissue was obtained for qPCR or cultured on PPLO agar 72 h after infection. Data are derived from the results of one experiment representative of three independent experiments performed with n = 4–6 mice per group. *P < 0.05, as compared with indicated groups.

Article Snippet: This paper focuses on the production of a high-affinity monoclonal antibody (mAb) that can efficiently detect and block purinergic ligand-gated ion channel 7 receptor (P2X7R).. To achieve this goal, the extracellular domain of human P2X7R, P2X7R-ECD, was used as an immunogen for BALB/c mice, inducing them to produce spleen lymphocytes that were subsequently fused with myeloma cells.. Screening of the resultant hybridoma clones resulted in the selection of one stable positive clone that produced a qualified mAb, named 4B3A4.

Treatment with antagonists of the purinergic purinoreceptor 7 (P2X7R) in macrophages enhanced intracellular multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis growth in cells treated with active vitamin D 3 (vitD) + phenylbutyrate (PBA) in combination with isoniazid (INH).

Intracellular growth inhibition was determined using colony-forming unit counts and presented as the percentage M. tuberculosis growth in macrophages (with the M. tuberculosis –infected untreated control defined as 100% growth). MDMs were preincubated for 1 hour with KN62 <t>(100</t> <t>nmol/L)</t> or oxATP (10 µmol/L) before M. tuberculosis infection and treatment with vitD+PBA and RIF or INH.

Results were obtained from 6 donors. Data (means with standard deviations) are presented in bar graphs showing groups with ( light gray bars ) or without ( white bars ) vitD+PBA treatment and groups with RIF and vitD+PBA ( medium gray bars ) as well as INH and vitD+PBA (dark gray bars).

PI3K/Akt is involved in P2X7 receptor-mediated migration and invasion of A549 cells. A549 cells were pretreated with or without A438079 (100 µM) or oxATP (150 µM) for 2 h and then treated with or without ATP (1 mM) or BzATP (200 µM). (a) The protein expression of Akt, p-Akt and GAPDH was detected by western blotting. (b) The relative expression levels of p-Akt under different treatment conditions were analyzed. A549 cells were pretreated with or without PI3K inhibitor LY294002 (10 µM) for 1 h and then treated with ATP (1 mM) or BzATP (200 µM) for 24 h. (c, d) The migration ability of A549 cells was detected by wound healing assay. (e, f) Transwell migration assay was used to detect the migration ability of A549 cells.

P2X7 receptor affects the expression of EMT-related markers and the activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathways in vivo. (a) Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin in the transplanted tumor tissues. (b) Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression of E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin in the transplanted tumor tissues. (c) The relative protein expression levels of E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin under different treatment conditions were analyzed. (d) Western blotting was used to analyze the relative expression level of p-Akt in the transplanted tumor tissues.

Treatment with antagonists of the purinergic purinoreceptor 7 (P2X7R) in macrophages enhanced intracellular multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis growth in cells treated with active vitamin D 3 (vitD) + phenylbutyrate (PBA) in combination with isoniazid (INH). Intracellular growth in Mycobacterium tuberculosis –infected macrophages was assessed on treatment with vitD+PBA alone or in combination with rifampicin (RIF) or INH and in the presence or absence of antagonists of the P2X7 receptor, KN62, and oxidized ATP (oxATP). Monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) were infected with the MDR tuberculosis strain resistant to RIF+INH+ pyrazinamide (PZA) + ethambutol (EMB) ( A ) or the laboratory strain H37Rv ( B ) and treated with vitD+PBA alone or together with RIF or INH, in the presence or absence of KN62 or oxATP. Intracellular growth inhibition was determined using colony-forming unit counts and presented as the percentage M. tuberculosis growth in macrophages (with the M. tuberculosis –infected untreated control defined as 100% growth). MDMs were preincubated for 1 hour with KN62 (100 nmol/L) or oxATP (10 µmol/L) before M. tuberculosis infection and treatment with vitD+PBA and RIF or INH. Fixed concentrations of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 (10 nmol) and PBA (2 mmol/L) as well as the indicated doses of RIF and INH or synthetic LL-37 (1 µg/mL) were used ( black bars ). Results were obtained from 6 donors. Data (means with standard deviations) are presented in bar graphs showing groups with ( light gray bars ) or without ( white bars ) vitD+PBA treatment and groups with RIF and vitD+PBA ( medium gray bars ) as well as INH and vitD+PBA (dark gray bars). Statistical significance was determined using 1-way analysis of variance and Sidak multiple-comparisons test. * P < .05; ** P < .01; *** P < .0005; **** P < .0001.
