Purinergic signaling via ATP and adenosine produced by astrocytes is one pathway underlying neuron–glia interactions in the central nervous system (CNS). In production of purines, extracellular metabolism of released purines via ecto-enzymes is important. The expression and activities of these enzymes are altered under pathological conditions. Production of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) is increased under pathological conditions, and this has various effects on astrocytes. Here, we investigated the effects of FGF2 on purine metabolism in cultured rat spinal cord astrocytes. Astrocytes rapidly metabolized purines added to the extracellular solution. FGF2 increased extracellular metabolism of AMP to adenosine and of adenosine to inosine by upregulating ecto-5′-nucleotidase and adenosine deaminase (ADA), respectively. ADA activity and protein were detected both in the cytosol and external solution of astrocytes, and their levels were markedly increased by FGF2. FGF2 also increased metabolism of endogenously released ATP, resulting in a transient increase in adenosine and substantial accumulation of extracellular inosine. Moreover, FGF2 increased ATP release by upregulating the activity of gap junction hemichannels. These data show that FGF2 regulates purine production in astrocytes and suggest that extracellular ADA released by astrocytes plays an important role in extracellular purine metabolism in the CNS.
