P2 purinergic receptors of human eosinophils: characterization and coupling to oxygen radical production

, 2000
Extracellular nucleotides elicit multiple responses in eosinophils but no information on expression of purinergic receptors in these cells is available so far. In the present study we show that human eosinophils express the following P2Y and P2X subtypes:

ATP Release and Purinergic Signaling Potentiate β‐Adrenergic Effects on Brown Adipocytes

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Brown adipose tissue (BAT) specializes in energy consumption and thermogenesis in response to cold stress. Brown adipocytes (BA) express purinergic receptors, yet little is known about the source of extracellular ATP and the role of purinergic signaling, and the potential interaction with β‐adrenergic signaling.

Cancer‐related pain: A bidirectional modulator of cancer progression

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
CRP and tumour progression engage in a dynamic, bidirectional circuit mediated by multiple mechanisms involving neuroimmunology and cancer ‐neuroscience. Analgesic interventions may affect tumour progression, while anticancer therapies can influence pain. Targeting pain in cancer may have promising therapeutic value in cancer progression.

Migraine: Epidemiology, Risk Factors, Pathophysiology, and Treatment

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.
Migraine is a highly prevalent, female‐predominant, and disabling brain disorder shaped by genetic susceptibility, hormonal influences, modifiable attack factors, and comorbidity‐related progression. This review integrates current evidence on migraine epidemiology, phase‐specific neurovascular and neuroglial mechanisms, including CGRP signaling and ...

Age-dependent remodelling of ionotropic signalling in cortical astroglia [PDF]

, 2011
Cortical astrocytes express fast ionotropic receptors for glutamate and ATP, although their role in neurone-glia communication remains controversial.

The P2X receptor mediated regulation of inhibitory synaptic transmission [PDF]

In the central nervous system ATP can be released by neurons and glial cells through similar pathways as other neurotransmitters. Extracellular ATP targets P2X purinoreceptors, causing an influx of Ca2+ ions which transmit very important messages for ...

Nucleotide Metabolism in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Nucleotide metabolism, including de novo synthesis, salvage pathways, and catabolism, when dysregulated contributes to cancer, immune disorders, metabolic and urological diseases, and radiation injury. Metabolites such as adenosine, cGAMP, NAD, and cAMP and enzymes like RNR are promising therapeutic targets and biomarkers.

Release of ATP in the ventral medulla during hypoxia in rats: role in hypoxic ventilatory response [PDF]

, 2005
P2X2 receptor subunits of the ATP-gated ion channels are expressed by physiologically identified respiratory neurons in the ventral respiratory column, implicating ATP in the control of respiratory activity.
