Concomitant activation of P2Y(2) and P2Y(6) receptors on monocytes is required for TLR1/2-induced neutrophil migration by regulating IL-8 secretion.

ABSTRACT: Extracellular nucleotides regulate a variety of cellular responses involved in inflammation via the activation of P2 receptors. Here, we show that nucleotides regulate TLR2-induced neutrophil migration both in vivo and in vitro. The nucleotide scavenger apyrase inhibited neutrophil recruitment in murine air pouches injected with the TLR2 agonist Pam(3)CSK(4). In agreement, the supernatants of either human primary monocytes or monocytic cells (THP-1 and U937) treated with Pam(3)CSK(4) recruited significantly fewer neutrophils when the former cells were treated in the presence of apyrase. As demonstrated with inhibitory Ab, these supernatants induced neutrophil migration due to IL-8 secretion. In addition, IL-8 secretion was markedly diminished by the non-selective P2 receptor antagonists re
