Abstract
P2X7 is a bifunctional receptor (P2X7R) for extracellular ATP that, depending on the level of activation, forms a cation-selective channel or a large conductance nonselective pore. The P2X7R has a strong proapoptotic activity but can also support growth. Here, we describe the mechanism involved in growth stimulation. Transfection of P2X7R increases resting mitochondrial potential (Δψmt), basal mitochondrial Ca2+ ([Ca2+]mt), intracellular ATP content, and confers ability to grow in the absence of serum. These changes require a full pore-forming function, because they are abolished in cells transfected with a mutated P2X7R that retains channel activity but cannot form the nonselective pore, and depend on an autocrine/paracrine tonic stimulation by secreted ATP. On the other hand, sustained stimulation of P2X7R causes a Δψmt drop, a large increase in [Ca2+]mt, mitochondrial fragmentation, and cell death. These findings reveal a hitherto undescribed mechanism for growth stimulation by a plasma membrane pore.
