AbstractExtracellular ATP has been recognized as a danger signal that alerts the innate immune system. High extracellular concentrations of ATP can trigger the maturation and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., interleukin-1β and interleukin-18) through the inflammasome-dependent activation of caspase-1. The P2X7 receptor, an ATP-gated cation channel, plays a pivotal role in ATP-induced NLRP3 inflammasome assembly. Recently, intriguing evidence has emerged that acidic extracellular pH acts as a danger signal that activates inflammasomes. Extracellular acidification frequently occurs at sites of inflammation, infection, or injury. In addition, large amounts of ATP are readily released into the extracellular space from damaged cells at such sites. Thus, it is assumed that the ATP/P2X7 receptor pathway regulates the inflammatory response under acidic extracellular conditions. Here, we briefly discuss the mutual effects of extracellular ATP and pH on inflammasome activation and consider their roles in the regulation of inflammation.

ATP, the universal energy currency of all organisms, is released into the extracellular matrix and serves as a signal among cells, where it is referred to as an extracellular ATP. Although a signalling role for extracellular ATP has been well studied in mammals over the last 40 years, investigations of such a role in plants are at an early stage. Recently, the first plant receptor for extracellular ATP, DOes not Respond to Nucleotides (DORN1), was identified in Arabidopsis thaliana by mutant screening. DORN1 encodes a legume-type lectin receptor kinase that is structurally distinct from the mammalian extracellular ATP receptors. In the present review, we highlight the genetic and biochemical evidence for the role of DORN1 in extracellular ATP signalling, placing this within the wider context of extracellular ATP signalling during plant stress responses.
