Abstract Efforts to use transcriptomics for toxicity testing have classically relied on the assumption that chemicals consistently produce characteristic transcriptomic signatures that are reflective of their mechanism of action. However, the degree to which transcriptomic responses are conserved across different test methodologies has seldom been ...

Bradykinin increases resensitization of purinergic receptor signaling in glioma cells
Background Purinergic receptor-mediated signaling plays an important role in the function of glial cells, including glial tumor cells. Bradykinin is also an important paracrine mediator which is highly expressed in brain tumors and may correlate with ...

Isolation and characterization of Pisum sativum apyrases, PsNTP9 and PsNTP9-DM, cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli [PDF]
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is widely known as a fuel source for many biochemical processes, and to a lesser degree also as a signaling molecule in plants and animals.

Building Immunocompetent Cerebral Organoids From a Developmental Perspective
Conventional cerebral organoids do not contain microglia, which must be added. We propose recommendations to assess microglial immunocompetence using quantitative approaches and stringent statistical analysis to help develop standardized protocols. ABSTRACT Cerebral organoids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are increasingly ...

Simultaneous quantification of 12 different nucleotides and nucleosides released from renal epithelium and in human urine samples using ion-pair reversed-phase HPLC [PDF]
Nucleotides and nucleosides are not only involved in cellular metabolism but also act extracellularly via P1 and P2 receptors, to elicit a wide variety of physiological and pathophysiological responses through paracrine and autocrine signalling pathways.

The extracellular nuclear proteins, histone H4 (H4) and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), released by injured cells during the activation of inflammation and coagulation pathways provoke potent inflammatory responses through interaction with pathogen ...

Unraveling the Role of Ensheathing Cells and Perineural Fibroblasts in Olfactory Neurogenesis
OECs are similar to satellite glial cells. OECs react to neuronal injury by promoting lipid metabolism, but do not proliferate. OECs reduce gap junctions upon neuronal injury. Perineural fibroblasts also contribute to the injury response. ABSTRACT During development and following injury‐induced neurogenesis, olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) envelope ...

The bumpy road of purinergic inhibitors to clinical application in immune-mediated diseases
Purinergic signaling plays important roles throughout the body in the regulation of organ functions during and following the disruption of homeostasis. This is also reflected by the widespread expression of two families of purinergic receptors (P1 and P2)

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

ABSTRACT The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has significantly improved the efficacy of cancer therapy, but their associated immune‐related adverse events (irAEs) can severely compromise treatment safety. This review systematically summarizes the core mechanisms underlying irAEs, which include multi‐organ damage resulting from T‐cell ...
