Probenecid blocks human P2X7 receptor-induced dye uptake via a pannexin-1 independent mechanism. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 P2X7 is a ligand-gated ion channel which is activated by ATP and displays secondary permeability characteristics. The mechanism of development of the secondary permeability pathway is currently unclear, although a role for the hemichannel protein ...

Pannexin 1 activation and inhibition is permeant‐selective [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 2020 Key points The large‐pore channel pannexin 1 (Panx1) is expressed in many cell types and can open upon different, yet not fully established, stimuli. Panx1 permeability is often inferred from channel permeability to fluorescent dyes, but it is currently unknown whether dye permeability translates to permeability to other molecules. Cell shrinkage and C‐

Physiological Reports, 2023 Development of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) involves renal epithelial cell abnormalities. Cystic fluid contains a high level of ATP that, among other effects, leads to a reduced reabsorption of electrolytes in cyst‐lining cells ...

P2X4 assembles with P2X7 and pannexin-1 in gingival epithelial cells and modulates ATP-induced reactive oxygen species production and inflammasome activation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 We have previously reported that Porphyromonas gingivalis infection of gingival epithelial cells (GEC) requires an exogenous danger signal such as ATP to activate an inflammasome and caspase-1, thereby inducing secretion of interleukin (IL)-1β ...

Pannexin 1 regulates postnatal neural stem and progenitor cell proliferation
Neural Development, 2012 Background Pannexin 1 forms ion and metabolite permeable hexameric channels and is abundantly expressed in the brain. After discovering pannexin 1 expression in postnatal neural stem and progenitor cells we sought to elucidate its functional role in ...

Novel Naphthyridones Targeting Pannexin 1 for Colitis Management. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Abstract Pannexin 1 (PANX1) forms cell-surface channels capable of releasing signaling metabolites for diverse patho-physiological processes. While inhibiting dysregulated PANX1 is proposed as a therapeutic strategy for many pathological conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), low efficacy or poor ...

Identification of Pannexins in Rat Nasal Mucosa
Allergy & Rhinology, 2013 Pannexins are a second family of gap-junction proteins in vertebrates, classified as pannexin-1, pannexin-2, and pannexin-3. Pannexin-1 is one of the candidates for channel-mediated ATP release into the extracellular space.

Perspectives on the role of Pannexin 1 in neural precursor cell biology
Neural Regeneration Research, 2016 We recently reported that targeted deletion of Pannexin 1 in neural precursor cells of the ventricular zone impairs the maintenance of these cells in healthy and stroke-injured brain. Here we frame this exciting new finding in the context of our previous

Single-cell dynamics of pannexin-1-facilitated programmed ATP loss during apoptosis
eLife, 2020 ATP is essential for all living cells. However, how dead cells lose ATP has not been well investigated. In this study, we developed new FRET biosensors for dual imaging of intracellular ATP level and caspase-3 activity in single apoptotic cultured human ...
