Biology of Platelet Purinergic Receptors and Implications for Platelet Heterogeneity

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
Platelets are small anucleated cells present only in mammals. Platelets mediate intravascular hemostatic balance, prevent interstitial bleeding, and have a major role in thrombosis.

Purinergic Signalling and Neurological Diseases: An Update [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Purinergic signalling, i.e. ATP as an extracellular signalling molecule and cotransmitter in both peripheral and central neurons, is involved in the physiology of neurotransmission and neuromodulation.

P2X3 purinergic receptor overexpression is associated with poor recurrence-free survival in hepatocellular carcinoma patients

open access: yesOncoTarget, 2015
P2 purinergic receptors are overexpressed in certain cancer tissues, but the pathophysiologic relevance of purinergic signaling in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unknown.

From Genome to Geroscience: How DNA Damage Shapes Systemic Decline

open access: yesBioEssays, EarlyView.
Persistent DNA damage triggers systemic secretory responses including damage‐associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), the senescence‐associated secretory phenotype (SASP), and extracellular vesicles (EVs). This non‐cell‐autonomous signaling disrupts intercellular communication, driving organism‐wide dysfunction and aging, and offering new therapeutic ...

ATP- and Adenosine-Mediated Signaling in the Central Nervous System: Purinergic Receptor Complex: Generating Adenine Nucleotide-Sensitive Adenosine Receptors

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2004
Adenosine A1 receptors (A1R) are able to form a heteromeric complex with P2Y1 receptors (P2Y1R) that generates A1R with P2Y1R-like agonistic pharmacology.

Purinergic and Cholinergic Drugs Mediate Hyperventilation in Zebrafish: Evidence from a Novel Chemical Screen. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
A rapid test to identify drugs that affect autonomic responses to hypoxia holds therapeutic and ecologic value. The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a convenient animal model for investigating peripheral O2 chemoreceptors and respiratory reflexes in ...

Exosome as bioactive nanovesicle for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in periodontitis

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
This review introduces the mechanism that exosomes participate in the pathogenesis of periodontitis and their potential as biomarkers for early diagnosis and summarizes the application of cell‐ or plant‐derived exosomes or engineered exosomes in periodontitis or periodontal regeneration while proposing the perspective of translational application of ...

Purinergic System Signaling in Metainflammation-Associated Osteoarthritis

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2020
Inflammation triggered by metabolic imbalance, also called metainflammation, is low-grade inflammation caused by the components involved in metabolic syndrome (MetS), including central obesity and impaired glucose tolerance. This phenomenon is mainly due

Interaction of Purinergic P2X4 and P2X7 Receptor Subunits

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2017
P2X4 and P2X7 are members of the P2X receptor family, comprising seven isoforms (P2X1–P2X7) that form homo- and heterotrimeric non-specific cation channels gated by extracellular ATP.
