We investigated the extracellular degradation of diadenosine polyphosphates (ApnA) by cultured adrenomedullary endothelial cells using fluorogenic analogs of ApnA, the di(1,N6-ethenoadenosine) 5',5"'-P1,Pn-polyphosphates [epsilon-(ApnA)]. Kinetic parameters of epsilon-(ApnA) cleavage and effects of pH, ions, and inhibitors were determined by continuous fluorometric assays, using suspensions of endothelial cells grown on Cytodex-1 microspheres. Ecto-enzyme kinetic parameters for epsilon-(Ap3A), epsilon-(Ap4A), and epsilon-(Ap5A) hydrolysis are as follows: Michaelis-Menten constants of 0.39 +/- 0.07, 0.42 +/- 0.09, and 0.37 +/- 0.05 microM respectively, and maximal velocities of 26.1 +/- 6.8, 74.2 +/- 16.4, and 24.4 +/- 3.4 pmol.min-1.10(6) cells-1, respectively. ApnA and guanosine 5',5"'-P1,P4-tetraphosphate behave as competitor substrates of epsilon-(Ap4A) hydrolysis. The ectoenzyme is activated by Mg2+ and Mn2+ and inhibited by Ca2+, F-, adenosine 5'-tetraphosphate, adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate), and suramin. Optimum pH is around 9.0. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis reveals that the ecto-enzyme hydrolyzes epsilon-(ApnA) to give epsilon-adenosine-5'(n-1)-phosphate and epsilon-AMP, which are then further catabolized up to epsilon-adenosine via the membrane-bound nucleotidase system ecto-ATPase, ecto-ADPase (or apyrase), and ecto-5'-nucleotidase. The endothelial ecto-diadenosine polyphosphate hydrolase studied here exhibits different kinetic parameters and sensitivity to ions with respect to the enzyme from the tissue-related neurochromaffin cells. These different properties may be important in the extracellular signaling by ApnA.
