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 ...

Role of the P2 × 7 receptor in neurodegenerative diseases and its pharmacological properties

open access: yesCell & Bioscience, 2023
Neurodegenerative diseases seriously affect patients’ physical and mental health, reduce their quality of life, and impose a heavy burden on society. However, their treatment remains challenging.

Membrane-mediated dimerization potentiates PIP5K lipid kinase activity

open access: yeseLife, 2022
The phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K) family of lipid-modifying enzymes generate the majority of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] lipids found at the plasma membrane in eukaryotic cells.

Extracellular ATP drives systemic inflammation, tissue damage and mortality [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Systemic inflammatory response syndromes (SIRS) may be caused by both infectious and sterile insults, such as trauma, ischemia-reperfusion or burns. They are characterized by early excessive inflammatory cytokine production and the endogenous release of ...

P2 Receptors: Novel Disease Markers and Metabolic Checkpoints in Immune Cells

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2022
Extracellular ATP (eATP) and P2 receptors are novel emerging regulators of T-lymphocyte responses. Cellular ATP is released via multiple pathways and accumulates at sites of tissue damage and inflammation. P2 receptor expression and function are affected

Ontogeny of purinergic receptor-regulated Ca2+ signaling in mouse cortical collecting duct epithelium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Changes in ATP-induced increase in {[}Ca2+], during collecting duct ontogeny were studied in primary monolayer cultures of mouse ureteric bud (UB) and cortical collecting duct (CCD) cells by Fura-PE3 fluorescence ratio imaging.

Modeling interactions among individual P2 receptors to explain complex response patterns over a wide range of ATP concentrations

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2016
EExtracellular ATP acts on the P2X family of ligand-gated ion channels and several members of the P2Y family of G protein-coupled receptors to mediate intercellular communication among many cell types including bone-forming osteoblasts.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Hemolysis in human erythrocytes by Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin requires activation of P2 receptors

open access: yesVirulence, 2018
Epsilon-toxin (ETX) is produced by types B and D strains of Clostridium perfringens, which cause fatal enterotoxaemia in sheep, goats and cattle. Previous studies showed that only a restricted number of cell lines are sensitive to ETX and ETX-induced ...

Whole Genome Sequence Analysis of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Bacteriophage P2

open access: yesPolish Journal of Microbiology, 2022
Phage P2 was isolated from failed fermentation broth carried out by Lactiplantibacillus plantarum IMAU10120. A previous study in our laboratory showed that this phage belonged to the Siphoviridae family.
