The effect of P2 receptor antagonists and ATPase inhibition on sympathetic purinergic neurotransmission in the guinea‐pig isolated vas deferens [PDF]

British Journal of Pharmacology, 2000
Intracellular microelectrodes were used to record the transmembrane potential and excitatory junction potentials (e.j.p.s) produced by sympathetic nerve stimulation (1 Hz) in smooth muscle cells of the guinea‐pig isolated vas deferens. The symmetrical 3′‐urea of 8‐(benzamido)naphthalene‐1,3,5‐trisulphonic acid (NF023) produced a concentration ...

P2X Receptors: Potential Therapeutic Targets for Symptoms Associated With Lung Cancer — A Mini Review

Frontiers in Oncology, 2021
Symptoms associated with lung cancer mainly consist of cancer-associated pain, cough, fatigue, and dyspnea. However, underlying mechanisms of lung cancer symptom clusters remain unclear.

Besnoitia besnoiti-induced neutrophil clustering and neutrophil extracellular trap formation depend on P2X1 purinergic receptor signaling

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Bovine besnoitiosis is a re-emerging cattle disease caused by the cyst-forming apicomplexan parasite Besnoitia besnoiti. Neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation represents an efficient innate immune mechanism of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN ...

Extracellular ATP released by osteoblasts is a key local inhibitor of bone mineralisation [PDF]

, 2013
Previous studies have shown that exogenous ATP (>1µM) prevents bone formation in vitro by blocking mineralisation of the collagenous matrix. This effect is thought to be mediated via both P2 receptor-dependent pathways and a receptor-independent ...

Identification of atropine-and P2X1 receptor antagonist-reistant, neurogenic contractions of the urinary bladder [PDF]

, 2007
Acetylcholine and ATP are excitatory cotransmitters in parasympathetic nerves. We used P2X1 receptor antagonists to further characterize the purinergic component of neurotransmission in isolated detrusor muscle of guinea pig urinary bladder.

P2 Receptors as Therapeutic Targets in the Salivary Gland: From Physiology to Dysfunction

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Although often overlooked in our daily lives, saliva performs a host of necessary physiological functions, including lubricating and protecting the oral cavity, facilitating taste sensation and digestion and maintaining tooth enamel.

P2X receptors: epithelial ion channels and regulators of salt and water transport. [PDF]

, 2008
When the results from electrophysiological studies of renal epithelial cells are combined with data from in vivo tubule microperfusion experiments and immunohistochemical surveys of the nephron, the accumulated evidence suggests that ATP-gated ion ...

Bedside testing of CYP2C19 gene for treatment of patients with PCI with antiplatelet therapy

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2020
Background To mitigate the risk of stent thrombosis, patients treated by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are administered dual anti-platelet therapy comprising aspirin and a platelet P2Y12 receptor inhibitor.
