Ion channel P2X7 receptor in the progression of cancer

Frontiers in Oncology
P2X7 receptor (P2X7) is a non-selective and ATP-sensitive ligand-gated cation channel. Studies have confirmed that it is expressed in a variety of cells and correlates with their function, frequently in immune cells and tumor cells.

Molecular Hybridization of Clinically Relevant P2X7 Antagonists

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
We employed a molecular hybridization strategy, combining clinically validated antagonists AZD‐9056 and JNJ‐54175446, to design and synthesize a library of novel adamantane‐containing P2X7R antagonists. Pharmacological and in silico analyses indicate that these adamantyl hybrids adopt a distinct, shallow binding mode within the P2X7R allosteric pocket,

The P2X7 Receptor Channel: Recent Developments and the Use of P2X7 Antagonists in Models of Disease

Pharmacological Reviews, 2014
The P2X7 receptor is a trimeric ATP-gated cation channel found predominantly, but not exclusively, on immune cells. P2X7 activation results in a number of downstream events, including the release of proinflammatory mediators and cell death and proliferation.

Identification of an ATP/P2X7/mast cell pathway mediating ozone-induced bronchial hyperresponsiveness

JCI Insight, 2021
Ozone is a highly reactive environmental pollutant with well-recognized adverse effects on lung health. Bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) is one consequence of ozone exposure, particularly for individuals with underlying lung disease.

Macrophage P2X7 Receptor Function Is Reduced during Schistosomiasis: Putative Role of TGF-β1

Mediators of Inflammation, 2014
Schistosomiasis is a chronic inflammatory disease whose macrophages are involved in immunopathology modulation. Although P2X7 receptor signaling plays an important role in inflammatory responses mediated by macrophages, no reports have examined the role ...

P2X7 receptors as targets for neuroprotection

Neuropharmacology
In this review we explore the potential of P2X7 receptor blockers to elicit neuroprotection. This conjecture is based on a reasonably well-established role of this receptor in activating glial cells to maintain a chronic low-level neuroinflammatory state in the brain of patients suffering some neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs).

P2X7 Receptor Induces Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Converting Enzyme Activation and Release to Boost TNF-α Production

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α is a major pro-inflammatory cytokine produced in response to toll-like receptor stimulation. TNF-α release is controlled by the activity of TNF-α converting enzyme (TACE) that cut membrane-bound TNF-α to shed its ectodomain ...

Non-canonical NLRP3 inflammasome activation and IL-1β signaling are necessary to L. amazonensis control mediated by P2X7 receptor and leukotriene B4.

PLoS Pathogens, 2019
Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease affecting millions of individuals worldwide. P2X7 receptor has been linked to the elimination of Leishmania amazonensis.

Administration of an AAV vector coding for a P2X7-blocking nanobody-based biologic ameliorates colitis in mice

Journal of Nanobiotechnology
Background The pro-inflammatory ATP-gated P2X7 receptor is widely expressed by immune and non-immune cells. Nanobodies targeting P2X7, with potentiating or antagonistic effects, have been developed.
