Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) has been well established as an important extracellular ligand of autocrine signaling, intercellular communication, and neurotransmission with numerous physiological and pathophysiological roles.

Exocytosis of ATP from astrocytes modulates phasic and tonic inhibition in the neocortex. [PDF]
Communication between neuronal and glial cells is important for many brain functions. Astrocytes can modulate synaptic strength via Ca(2+)-stimulated release of various gliotransmitters, including glutamate and ATP.

Learning the ABCs of ATP release. [PDF]
ATP plays important roles outside the cell, but the mechanism by which it is arrives in the extracellular environment is not clear. Dunn et al now show that decreases in cellular cholesterol levels mediated by the ABCG1 transporter increase ATP release by volume-regulated anion channels under hypotonic conditions.

ATP Release Drives Inflammation with Lysophosphatidylcholine [PDF]
Abstract Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), a dominant lipid component of oxidized low-density lipoprotein, plays a major role in inflammation associated with atherosclerosis and neurodegenerative disorders. It activates inflammatory responses from macrophages, neuronal cells, and endothelial cells.

ATP‐induced ATP release from astrocytes [PDF]
AbstractPropagation of interastrocyte Ca2+waves is mediated by diffusion of extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and may require regenerative release of ATP. The ability of ATP to initiate release of intracellular ATP was assessed by labeling adenine nucleotide pools in astrocyte cultures with14C‐adenine.

Kinetics of urothelial ATP release [PDF]
Recent reports have proposed that the urothelium can sense mechanical stretch and communicate this information to sensory afferent neurons by the release of ATP into the vicinity of P2X-containing neurons. This report investigates the bidirectional release of ATP by in vitro rabbit urothelium.

Quantal Release of ATP in Mouse Cortex [PDF]
Transient currents occur at rest in cortical neurones that reflect the quantal release of transmitters such as glutamate and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). We found a bimodal amplitude distribution for spontaneously occurring inward currents recorded from mouse pyramidal neurones in situ, in acutely isolated brain slices superfused with picrotoxin.

Mitochondria regulate TRPV4‐mediated release of ATP [PDF]
Background and PurposeCa2+influx via TRPV4 channels triggers Ca2+release from the IP3‐sensitive internal store to generate repetitive oscillations. Although mitochondria are acknowledged regulators of IP3‐mediated Ca2+release, how TRPV4‐mediated Ca2+signals are regulated by mitochondria is unknown.
