P2X7 Receptors: Channels, Pores and More

CNS & Neurological Disorders - Drug Targets, 2012
Purine nucleotides are well established as extracellular signaling molecules. P2X7 receptors (P2X7Rs) are members of the family of ionotropic ATP-gated receptors. Their activity can be found in a limited number of cell types, but is readily detectable in cells of hemopoietic lineage including macrophages, microglia, and certain lymphocytes, and ...

Cytokine Pathways Driving Diverse Tissue Pathologies in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex systemic disorder characterized primarily by articular inflammation and destruction with associated functional loss and reduced quality of life. RA is also associated with extra‐articular disease, such as that of the lung, with potentially devastating clinical consequences. The critical importance of comorbidities,

Exosome as bioactive nanovesicle for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in periodontitis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review introduces the mechanism that exosomes participate in the pathogenesis of periodontitis and their potential as biomarkers for early diagnosis and summarizes the application of cell‐ or plant‐derived exosomes or engineered exosomes in periodontitis or periodontal regeneration while proposing the perspective of translational application of ...

Retinal ganglion cell dysfunction in mice following acute intraocular pressure is exacerbated by P2X7 receptor knockout

Scientific Reports, 2021
There is increasing evidence for the vulnerability of specific retinal ganglion cell (RGC) types in those with glaucoma and in animal models. In addition, the P2X7-receptor (P2X7-R) has been suggested to contribute to RGC death following stimulation and ...

Traditional Chinese Medicine as an Integrative Adjunct in Oncology Perioperative Practice: Analgesia, Immune Modulation, and Translational Challenges

Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), including herbal analgesic adjuvants and acupuncture‐based interventions, has gained increasing attention as an integrative strategy for perioperative pain management in oncology. Bioactive phytochemicals—such as terpenoids, flavonoids, alkaloids, and polyphenols—exert multimodal pharmacological effects ...

P2X7 on mouse T cells: one channel, many functions

Frontiers in Immunology, 2015
The P2X7 receptor is an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-gated cation channel that is expressed by several cells of the immune system. P2X7 is best known for its proinflammatory role in promoting inflammasome formation and release of mature IL-1β by innate ...

The Mechanism of NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Its Roles in Chronic Rhinosinusitis

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT NLRP3 (NLR family pyrin domain containing 3) is one of the crucial receptors in pathogen recognition receptor (PRR) families which can recognize the pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and the damage‐associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), thus triggering innate immune response. After NLRP3 activation, it recruits the adaptor protein

P2X7 promotes metastatic spreading and triggers release of miRNA-containing exosomes and microvesicles from melanoma cells

Cell Death and Disease, 2021
Tumor growth and metastatic spreading are heavily affected by the P2X7 receptor as well as microvesicles and exosomes release into the tumor microenvironment. P2X7 receptor stimulation is known to trigger vesicular release from immune and central nervous

The potential for biased signalling in the P2Y receptor family of GPCRs

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The purinergic receptor family is primarily activated by nucleotides, and contains members of both the G protein coupled‐receptor (GPCR) superfamily (P1 and P2Y) and ligand‐gated ion channels (P2X). The P2Y receptors are widely expressed in the human body, and given the ubiquitous nature of nucleotides, purinergic signalling is involved with a plethora

Genetic Background Strongly Influences the Bone Phenotype of P2X7 Receptor Knockout Mice

Journal of Osteoporosis, 2012
The purinergic P2X7 receptor is expressed by bone cells and has been shown to be important in both bone formation and bone resorption. In this study we investigated the importance of the genetic background of the mouse strains on which the P2X7 knock-out
