Purinergic Receptors As a Regulatory Process of Luminescence in Porichthys Luminous Organs

Primary tabs

Rees, Jean-François [UCL] Kaouass, M. Baguet, Fernand [UCL]

The effects of exogenous adenosine and adenine phosphorylated derivatives were tested on the adrenergic luminescence of isolated luminous organs of the fish Porichthys. Adenosine triphosphate, at concentrations ranging from 10(-5) M to 10(-2)M, strongly inhibited the two peaks of the biphasic-shaped light emission induced by adrenalin. Adenosine diphosphate mimicked the effects of ATP, whereas adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and cyclic-AMP were ineffective. Adenosine had no inhibitory effect but potentiated the first peak of light whose intensity was five times increased. It is concluded that P2-purinergic receptors might be present on photocytes and exert a negative control on the luminescent system. Adenosine-induced potentiation might be related to an intracellular effect of this compound.
