CD36‐mediated lipid rewiring in the metabolic adaptation of tumour ecosystems

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Nutrient deprivation drives a lipid‐centric shift in tumour metabolic symbiosis and signalling network. CD36 functions as a bidirectional bridge, transferring fatty acids from stromal donors (adipocytes, CAFs) to the ecosystem tumour‐ and microenvironment‐dependently.

Radioligands targeting purinergic P2X7 receptor [PDF]

Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2020
The purinergic P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) is an adenosine triphosphate (ATP) ligand-gated cationic channel receptor. P2X7R is closely associated with various inflammatory, immune, cancer, neurological, musculoskeletal and cardiovascular disorders. P2X7R is an interesting therapeutic target as well as molecular imaging target.

Animal Models for the Investigation of P2X7 Receptors

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
The P2X7 receptor is a trimeric ligand-gated cation channel activated by extracellular adenosine 5′-triphosphate. The study of animals has greatly advanced the investigation of P2X7 and helped to establish the numerous physiological and pathophysiological roles of this receptor in human health and disease.

Synergistic Effects of Bacterial Mimetic and Mechanical Stimulation in Dental Pulp Cell Inflammatory Signalling: A Laboratory Investigation

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Mechanical and/or microbial stimuli can prompt extracellular ATP release in many cell types, where it acts as an inflammatory mediator to amplify pain signals and inflammation. This study aimed to investigate the synergistic effects of microbial and/or mechanical stimulation on ATP and cytokine release from dental pulp cells (DPCs ...

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 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 ...

Human P2X7 Receptor Causes Cycle Arrest in RPMI-8226 Myeloma Cells to Alter the Interaction with Osteoblasts and Osteoclasts

Cells, 2020
Multiple myeloma is a malignant expansion of plasma cells and aggressively affects bone health. We show that P2X7 receptor altered myeloma growth, which affects primary bone cells in vitro.

Periodontitis as a Model for Inflammatory Uncoupling of Bone Remodeling

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Periodontitis can be viewed as a state of inflammatory uncoupling of bone remodeling, in which excessive osteoclast‐mediated resorption coexists with impaired bone formation. This review integrates emerging insights from osteoimmunology, osteocyte biology, mechanobiology, aging, and resolution pathways to position periodontitis as an accessible in vivo

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 ...

Antipsychotics‐Induced Hyposalivation Mediated by Impaired Salivary Ca2+ Signaling

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Antipsychotic‐induced salivary dysfunction such as hyposalivation is a prevalent clinical challenge that severely compromises oral health and quality of life. Although typical and atypical antipsychotics have their therapeutic target in the central nervous system, their direct molecular mechanisms within the salivary glands remain ...
