Synthesis and Structure-Activity Relationships of Pyridoxal-6-arylazo-5'-phosphate and Phosphonate Derivatives as P2 Receptor Antagonists. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Novel analogs of the P2 receptor antagonist pyridoxal-5'-phosphate-6-phenylazo-2',4'-disulfonate (PPADS) were synthesized. Modifications were made through functional group substitution on the sulfophenyl ring and at the phosphate moiety through the ...

Multiple P2Y receptors couple to calcium-dependent, chloride channels in smooth muscle cells of the rat pulmonary artery

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2005
Background Uridine 5'-triphosphate (UTP) and uridine 5'-diphosphate (UDP) act via P2Y receptors to evoke contraction of rat pulmonary arteries, whilst adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) acts via P2X and P2Y receptors.

Resetting intrinsic purinergic modulation of neural activity: an associative mechanism? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The purines, ATP and adenosine, control the rundown and termination of swimming in the Xenopus embryo. This intrinsic purinergic modulation, unavoidably present during every swimming episode, could lead to stereotyped inflexible behavior and consequently

P2Y11 Purinoceptor Mediates the ATP-Enhanced Chemotactic Response of Rat Neutrophils

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2012
ATP and hydrolysis products of ATP like adenosine regulate the chemotaxis of neutrophils by activating purinoceptors and adenosine receptors. The present study was designed to examine exogenous ATP, activation of purinoceptors, and activation of A3 ...

Cell Deformation at the Air-Liquid Interface Evokes Intracellular Ca2+ Increase and ATP Release in Cultured Rat Urothelial Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2021
Urothelial cells have been implicated in bladder mechanosensory transduction, and thus, initiation of the micturition reflex. Cell deformation caused by tension forces at an air-liquid interface (ALI) can induce an increase in intracellular Ca2 ...

P2Y Receptor-Mediated Ca2+ Signaling Increases Human Vascular Endothelial Cell Permeability

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2004
We investigated the effects of P2-receptor agonists on cell size, intracellular calcium levels ([Ca2+]i), and permeation of FITC-labeled dextran (FD-4) as well as the relationship between these effects in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC ...

Extracellular ATP-Induced Alterations in Extracellular H+ Fluxes From Cultured Cortical and Hippocampal Astrocytes

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021
Small alterations in the level of extracellular H+ can profoundly alter neuronal activity throughout the nervous system. In this study, self-referencing H+-selective microelectrodes were used to examine extracellular H+ fluxes from individual astrocytes.

Constant rank bimatrix games are PPAD-hard [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the forty-sixth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing, 2014
The rank of a bimatrix game (A,B) is defined as rank(A+B). Computing a Nash equilibrium (NE) of a rank-$0$, i.e., zero-sum game is equivalent to linear programming (von Neumann'28, Dantzig'51). In 2005, Kannan and Theobald gave an FPTAS for constant rank games, and asked if there exists a polynomial time algorithm to compute an exact NE.

A Purinergic P2 Receptor Family-Mediated Increase in Thrombospondin-1 Bolsters Synaptic Density and Epileptic Seizure Activity in the Amygdala-Kindling Rat Model

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
Previous studies suggested that the thrombospondin-1/transforming growth factor-β1 (TSP-1/TGF-β1) pathway might be critical in synaptogenesis during development and that the purinergic P2 receptor family could regulate synaptogenesis by modulating TSP-1 ...

Detrusor overactivity induced by intravesical application of adenosine 5 '-triphosphate under different delivery conditions in rats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Objectives. We investigate the effects of intravesical application of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) on bladder activity to elucidate the role of urothelial barrier function and ecto-ATPase activity in the ATP-mediated mechanism inducing detrusor ...
