ATP Release from Human Airway Epithelial Cells Exposed to Staphylococcus aureus Alpha-Toxin

ATP Release from Human Airway Epithelial Cells Exposed to Staphylococcus aureus Alpha-Toxin

Airway epithelial cells reduce cytosolic ATP content in response to treatment with S. aureus alpha-toxin (hemolysin A, Hla). This study was undertaken to investigate whether this is due to attenuated ATP generation or to release of ATP from the cytosol and extracellular ATP degradation by ecto-enzym...
