Diabetes-induced alterations in urothelium function:Enhanced ATP release and nerve-evoked contractions in the streptozotocin rat bladder [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Up to 80% of patients with diabetes mellitus develop lower urinary tract complications, most commonly diabetic bladder dysfunction (DBD). The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of diabetes on the function of the inner bladder lining ...

Purinergic receptor X7 is a key modulator of metabolic oxidative stress-mediated autophagy and inflammation in experimental nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physiology - Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology, 2013
Recent studies indicate that metabolic oxidative stress, autophagy, and inflammation are hallmarks of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) progression. However, the molecular mechanisms that link these important events in NASH remain unclear.

Pharmacological evaluation of non‐nucleotide purine derivatives as P2X7 antagonists for the treatment of neuroinflammation in traumatic brain injury

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and purpose Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is considered to be a leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide. After TBI, innate immunity is rapidly activated in response to damage‐associated molecular patterns, such as ATP release, recognised by P2X7 receptors.

Purinergic signaling in schistosomal infection

open access: yesBiomedical Journal, 2016
Human schistosomiasis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by blood fluke worms belonging to the genus Schistosoma. Health metrics indicate that the disease is related to an elevated number of years lost-to-disability and years lost-to-life ...

Inhibition of REV-ERBs stimulates microglial amyloid-beta clearance and reduces amyloid plaque deposition in the 5XFAD mouse model of Alzheimer\u27s disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
A promising new therapeutic target for the treatment of Alzheimer\u27s disease (AD) is the circadian system. Although patients with AD are known to have abnormal circadian rhythms and suffer sleep disturbances, the role of the molecular clock in ...

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

Implications of purinergic receptor-mediated intracellular calcium transients in neural differentiation

open access: yesCell Communication and Signaling, 2013
Purinergic receptors participate, in almost every cell type, in controlling metabolic activities and many physiological functions including signal transmission, proliferation and differentiation. While most of P2Y receptors induce transient elevations of

Structure–activity relationship of the allosteric effects of ivermectin at human P2X4 and GABAA receptors

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and purpose Positive allosteric modulation of the P2X4 receptor is a potential route to providing cardiovascular benefit through enhancing flow‐dependent arterial vasodilation and providing cardioprotection. However, ligands that selectively enhance P2X4 activity are absent.

Activity-dependent release of Adenosine: a critical re-evaluation of mechanism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Adenosine is perhaps the most important and universal modulator in the brain. The current consensus is that it is primarily produced in the extracellular space from the breakdown of previously released ATP.

Effects of the P2RX4 antagonist BR11595 in a guinea pig model of chronic asthma

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Asthma is characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), allergic inflammation, and airway remodelling. Although recent studies have shown that asthma pathophysiology involves P2X4 receptor activation, a potential link with chronic asthma remains to be explored.
