Fig 1 (A) Concentration-dependent contractions to αβ-MeATP (αβ-methylene-adenosine triphosphate) in saphenous vein (solid circles) and internal mammary artery (open circles). (B) Concentration-dependent contractions to UDPβS (uridine 5’-O-thiodiphosphate) in saphenous vein (solid circles) and internal mammary artery (open circles). The UDPβS was added after desensitization of P2X1-receptors with αβ-MeATP (10−5 M). (C) Concentration-dependent contractions to UTPγS (uridine 5’-O-3-thiotriphosphate) in saphenous vein (solid circles) and internal mammary artery (open circles). The UTPγS was added after desensitization of P2X1-receptors with αβ-MeATP (10−5 M). Contractions are expressed as percentage of an initial contraction induced by 60 mmol/L K+. Data are shown as mean ± SEM of 6 or 7 patients. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , 50-57DOI: ( /S (03) )

Fig 2 Representative example of contractions induced by single doses of αβ-MeATP (αβ-methylene-adenosine triphosphate), UTPγS (uridine 5’-O-3-thiotriphosphate), and UDPβS (uridine 5’-O-thiodiphosphate). The UTPγS, and UDPβS were added after desensitization of P2X1-receptors with αβ-MeATP (10−5 M). Contractions are expressed as percentage of an initial contraction induced by 60 mmol/L K+.

Fig 3 Representative example of contraction induced by single dose of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) after desensitization of P2X1 receptors and P2Y2/4 receptors. The P2X1 receptors were desensitized with αβ-MeATP ([αβ-methylene-adenosine triphosphate] 10−5 M) and the P2Y2/4 receptors were desensitized with UTPγS ([uridine 5’-O-3-thiotriphosphate] 10-4 M). Contractions are expressed as percentage of an initial contraction induced by 60 mmol/L K+. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , 50-57DOI: ( /S (03) )

Fig 4 The mRNA expression profiles of P2 receptors in saphenous vein (open bars) and internal mammary artery (solid bars). Data are shown as the ratios of targets/GAPDH (glyceraldehyde-3phosphate dehydrogenase; see methods) and the mean values are given over each column. *p less than 0.05 versus other target genes in each tissue.
