Extracellular ATP signaling affects the cells of renal glomeruli via activation of P2-purinoceptors, denoted as P2X and P2Y. Through either of these purinoceptors, ATP is able to stimulate an increase in intracellular [Ca2+]. P2Y-receptors are expressed on mesangial and endothelial cells, thus may participate in contraction and relaxation of glomeruli, respectively. Moreover, P2Y-receptors possess activity of ecto-ATPase which may lead to dephosphorylation of ATP and generation of adenosine. The aim of the present study was to investigate the involvement of P2Y-receptors in responses of renal glomeruli to extracellular ATP.
