Extracellular ATP stimulates a wide variety of cell types, including macrophages(MΦs), by ligating of plasma membrane purinergic receptors. Treatment of human MΦs with ATPΦ is reported to potentiate MΦ activity in killing Mycobacterium tuberculosis(MTB). We studied the effects of ATP on the in vitro and in vivo antimicrobial activity of murine MΦs against Mycobacterium avium complex(MAC). While ATP at concentration of 3-5mM up-regulated the antimicrobial activity of MΦs against MTB dose-dependently, this was not noted for MΦs infected with MAC organisms, although intramacrophage MAC growth was weakly inhibited in ATP-treated MΦs under certain conditions. When MAC-infected mice were subcutaneously given ATP at 40 mg/kg dose, once daily, 5 times per week, for up to 8 weeks after infection, bacterial growth in the lungs was inhibited significantly during the first 2 weeks compared to control mice without ATP administration. This effect on the intrapulmonary MAC growth was no longer observed after week 2, and MAC grew much more rapidly thereafter in mice given ATP than in the control mice. ATP didnot, however, affect MAC bacterial growth in the spleen. These findings show that ATP affects MTB antimicrobial activity against MAC negatively, in contrast to the positive effect against MTB. The finding that ATP administration inhibited MAC organism growth in the lungs of infected mice in the early stages of infection suggests that ATP may be useful in treating MAC infections when given in combination with anti-MAC antimicrobials.
