Description

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The mechanical stimulation induced by poking cells with a glass needle activates Piezo1 receptors and the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) autocrine pathway, thus increasing intracellular Ca<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> concentration. The differences between the increase in intracellular Ca<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> concentration induced by cell poking and by ATP‐only stimulation have not been investigated. In this study, we investigated the Ca<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> signaling mechanism induced by autocrine ATP release during Madin–Darby Canine Kidney cell membrane deformation by cell poking. The results suggest that the pathways for supplying Ca<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> into the cytoplasm were not identical between cell poking and conventional ATP stimulation. The functions of the G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) subunits (Gq, G), ATP‐activated receptor and the upstream Ca<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> release signal from the intracellular endoplasmic reticulum Ca<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> store, were investigated. The results show that Gq plays a major role in the Ca<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> response evoked by ATP‐only stimulation, while cell poking induces a Ca<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> response requiring the involvement of both Gq and G units simultaneously. These results suggest that GPCR are not only activated by ATP‐only stimulation or autocrine ATP release during Ca<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> signaling, but also activated by the mechanical effects of cell poking.</jats:p>
