Endothelial cells (ECs) release ATP in response to shear stress, a mechanical force generated by blood flow, and the ATP released modulates EC functions through activation of purinoceptors. The molecular mechanism of the shear stress-induced ATP release, however, has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we have demonstrated that cell surface ATP synthase is involved in shear stress-induced ATP release. Immunofluorescence staining of human pulmonary arterial ECs (HPAECs) showed that cell surface ATP synthase is distributed in lipid rafts and co-localized with caveolin-1, a marker protein of caveolae. Immunoprecipitation indicated that cell surface ATP synthase and caveolin-1 are physically associated. Measurement of the extracellular metabolism of [(3)H]ADP confirmed that cell surface ATP synthase is active in ATP generation. When exposed to shear stress, HPAECs released ATP in a dose-dependent manner, and the ATP release was markedly suppressed by the membrane-impermeable ATP synthase inhibitors angiostatin and piceatannol and by an anti-ATP synthase antibody. Depletion of plasma membrane cholesterol with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MbetaCD) disrupted lipid rafts and abolished co-localization of ATP synthase with caveolin-1, which resulted in a marked reduction in shear stress-induced ATP release. Pretreatment of the cells with cholesterol prevented these effects of MbetaCD. Downregulation of caveolin-1 expression by transfection of caveolin-1 siRNA also markedly suppressed ATP-releasing responses to shear stress. Neither MbetaCD, MbetaCD plus cholesterol, nor caveolin-1 siRNA had any effect on the amount of cell surface ATP synthase. These results suggest that the localization and targeting of ATP synthase to caveolae/lipid rafts is critical for shear stress-induced ATP release by HPAECs.
