Endoplasmic Reticulum Is a Key Organella in Bradykinin-Triggered ATP Release From Cultured Smooth Muscle Cells

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2007
ATP has broad functions as an autocrine/paracrine molecule. The mode of ATP release and its intracellular source, however, are little understood. Here we show that bradykinin via B2-receptor stimulation induces the extracellular release of ATP via the ...

Extracellular ATP induces albuminuria in pregnant rats [PDF]

open access: yesNephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2010
As circulating plasma ATP concentrations are increased in pre-eclampsia, we tested whether increased plasma ATP is able to induce albuminuria during pregnancy.Pregnant (day 14) and non-pregnant rats were infused with ATP (3000 microg/kg bw) via a permanent jugular vein cannula.

P2X receptors: epithelial ion channels and regulators of salt and water transport. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
When the results from electrophysiological studies of renal epithelial cells are combined with data from in vivo tubule microperfusion experiments and immunohistochemical surveys of the nephron, the accumulated evidence suggests that ATP-gated ion ...

Genomic Analysis of ATP Efflux in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) plays an important role as a primary molecule for the transfer of chemical energy to drive biological processes. ATP also functions as an extracellular signaling molecule in a diverse array of eukaryotic taxa in a conserved ...

Release of ATP from marginal cells in the cochlea of neonatal rats can be induced by changes in extracellular and intracellular ion concentrations. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundAdenosine triphosphate (ATP) plays an important role in the cochlea. However, the source of ATP and the mechanism by which it is released remain unclear.

Homeostasis of Extracellular ATP in Human Erythrocytes [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2011
استكشفنا العمليات داخل وخارج الخلايا التي تحكم حركية ATP خارج الخلايا (ATPe) في كريات الدم الحمراء البشرية المحفزة بالعوامل التي تزيد من المخيم. باستخدام تفاعل لوسيفيرين- لوسيفيراز في قياس الإضاءة خارج الخط، وجدنا تنشيطًا مباشرًا لأنزيم الأدينيل سايكلز بواسطة فورسكولين وتنشيطًا غير مباشر من خلال التحفيز الأدرينالي بيتا مع [ATP]e المعزز بالإيزوبروتينول ...

Acidosis Is a Key Regulator of Osteoblast Ecto-Nucleotidase Pyrophosphatase/Phosphodiesterase 1 (NPP1) Expression and Activity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Previous work has shown that acidosis prevents bone nodule formation by osteoblasts in vitro by inhibiting mineralisation of the collagenous matrix.

c-Jun, Foxo3a, and c-Myc Transcription Factors are Key Regulators of ATP-Mediated Angiogenic Responses in Pulmonary Artery Vasa Vasorum Endothelial Cells

open access: yesCells, 2020
Angiogenic vasa vasorum (VV) expansion plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (PH), a cardiovascular disease.

Hepatocyte heterogeneity in response to extracellular ATP [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Biochemistry, 1987
The metabolic and hemodynamic effects of extracellular ATP in perfused rat liver were compared during physiologically antegrade (portal to hepatic vein) and retrograde (hepatic to portal vein) perfusion. ATP in concentrations up to 100 μM was completely hydrolyzed during a single liver passage regardless of the perfusion direction.

Biosensor measurement of purine release from cerebellar cultures and slices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We have previously described an action-potential and Ca2+-dependent form of adenosine release in the molecular layer of cerebellar slices. The most likely source of the adenosine is the parallel fibres, the axons of granule cells. Using microelectrode
