Purinergic mechanosensory transduction and visceral pain [PDF]
In this review, evidence is presented to support the hypothesis that mechanosensory transduction occurs in tubes and sacs and can initiate visceral pain.

Background Investigations of nucleotide signaling in nociception to date have focused on actions of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Both ATP-gated ion channels (P2X receptors) and G protein-coupled (P2Y) receptors contribute to nociceptive signaling in ...

Background – Itch is a common symptom in skin disorders. While the neural pathways of itch transmission from the skin to the brain are well‐understood in rodents, the same pathways in dogs remain unclear. The knowledge gap hinders the development of effective treatments for canine itch‐related disorders.

Purinergic signalling: past, present and future [PDF]
The discovery of non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic neurotransmission in the gut and bladder in the early 1960's is described as well as the identification of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) as a transmitter in these nerves in the early 1970's.

Sympathetic nerve-derived ATP regulates renal medullary vasa recta diameter via pericyte cells: a role for regulating medullary blood flow? [PDF]
Pericyte cells are now known to be a novel locus of blood flow control, being able to regulate capillary diameter via their unique morphology and expression of contractile proteins.

Blood DDIT4 and TRIM13 Transcript Levels Mark the Early Stages of Machado–Joseph Disease
Objective An abundance of select transcripts and proteins has been found to be dysregulated in blood samples of Machado–Joseph disease (MJD) carriers. Here, we aimed to: (1) identify blood transcriptional changes as potential biomarkers of MJD; (2) correlate levels of differentially expressed blood transcripts with MJD carriers features; and (3 ...

Potent P2Y(6 )receptor mediated contractions in human cerebral arteries [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Extracellular nucleotides play an important role in the regulation of vascular tone and may be involved in cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoidal haemorrhage.

ATP Mediates Pyroptosis in the Intestinal Mucosal System During Colitis
ABSTRACT Damage‐associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are molecules released from damaged or dying cells that contribute to inflammation and cell death. Extracellular ATP, a type of DAMP, has been studied primarily in the context of pyroptosis in monocytes.

Expression and function of rat urothelial P2Y receptors [PDF]
The control and regulation of the lower urinary tract are partly mediated by purinergic signaling. This study investigated the distribution and function of P2Y receptors in the rat urinary bladder. Application of P2Y agonists to rat urothelial cells evoked increases in intracellular calcium; the rank order of agonist potency (pEC50 ± SE) was ATP (5.10

P2 purinoceptors signaling in fibroblasts of rat subcutaneous tissue [PDF]
Mestrado em Biologia Molecular e CelularO tecido conjuntivo parece estar envolvido na génese de diversas condições patológicas. O aumento da rigidez do tecido conjuntivo, resultante da fibrose, pode constituir um factor importante no mecanismo patogénico
