Apical ATP, ATP, UTP and UDP evoked transient increases in short circuit current (I(SC), a direct measure of transepithelial ion transport) in confluent Caco-2 cells grown on permeable supports. These responses were mediated by a population of at least three pharmacologically distinct receptors. Experiments using cells grown on glass coverslips showed that ATP and UTP consistently increased intracellular free calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) whilst sensitivity to UDP was variable. Cross desensitization experiments suggested that the responses to UTP and ATP were mediated by a common receptor population. Messenger RNA transcripts corresponding to the P2Y(2), P2Y(4) and P2Y(6) receptors genes were detected in cells grown on Transwell membranes by the reverse transcriptase - polymerase chain reaction. Identical results were obtained for cells grown on glass. Experiments in which I(SC) and [Ca(2+)](i) were monitored simultaneously in cells on Transwell membranes, confirmed that apical ATP and UTP increased both parameters and showed that the UDP-evoked increase in I(SC) was accompanied by a [Ca(2+)](i)-signal. Ionomycin consistently increased [Ca(2+)](i) in such polarized cells but caused no discernible change in I(SC). However, subsequent application of apical ATP or UTP evoked a small rise in I(SC) but no rise in [Ca(2+)](i). UDP evoked no such response. As well as evoking increases in [Ca(2+)](i), the ATP/UTP-sensitive receptors present in Caco-2 cells thus allow direct control over ion channels in the apical membrane. The UDP-sensitive receptors, however, appear to simply evoke a rise in [Ca(2+)](i).
