Purines, Purinergic Receptors, and Cancer [PDF]
Cancer Research, 2012 Abstract Purines were long thought to be restricted to the intracellular compartment, where they are used for energy transactions, nucleic acid synthesis, and a multiplicity of biochemical reactions. However, it is now clear that both adenosine and adenosine triphosphate are (i) abundant biochemical components of the tumor ...

Purine and purinergic receptors in health and disease
MedComm, 2023 AbstractPurines and purinergic receptors are widely distributed throughout the human body. Purine molecules within cells play crucial roles in regulating energy metabolism and other cellular processes, while extracellular purines transmit signals through specific purinergic receptors.

Purinergic Receptors in Thrombosis and Inflammation [PDF]
Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2015 Under various pathological conditions, including thrombosis and inflammation, extracellular nucleotide levels may increase because of both active release and passive leakage from damaged or dying cells. Once in the extracellular compartment, nucleotides interact with plasma membrane receptors belonging to the P2 purinergic family, which ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Y332D, a bispecific antibody that simultaneously blockades VEGF and TGF‐β, counteracted negative RT effects that are attributed to the upregulation of TGF‐β and VEGF, as well as further enhanced the immunostimulatory effects of RT, thereby reprograming the TME from immune “cold” to inflamed state and forming an effective in‐situ vaccine that eradicate ...

Blood DDIT4 and TRIM13 Transcript Levels Mark the Early Stages of Machado–Joseph Disease
Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.Objective An abundance of select transcripts and proteins has been found to be dysregulated in blood samples of Machado–Joseph disease (MJD) carriers. Here, we aimed to: (1) identify blood transcriptional changes as potential biomarkers of MJD; (2) correlate levels of differentially expressed blood transcripts with MJD carriers features; and (3 ...

Purinergic receptors on blood platelets
Platelets, 1996 Extracellular adenine nucleotides interact with P2 purinergic receptors to regulate a broad range of physiological processes among which platelet aggregation P2 purinoceptors were divided into two main groups: the G-protein coupled receptor or 'metabotropic' superfamily termed P2Y and the ligand-gated ion channel or 'ionotropic receptor' superfamily ...

Characterization of ionotrophic purinergic receptors in hepatocytes [PDF]
Hepatology, 2008 Ionotrophic purinergic (P2X) receptors function as receptor-gated cation channels, where agonist binding leads to opening of a nonselective cation pore permeable to both Na+ and Ca2+. Based on evidence that extracellular adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) stimulates glucose release from liver ...

Gout and NLRP3 inflammasome biology
Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.This review describes the three broad stages of acute inflammation in the context of gout: initiation, leucocyte mobilisation, and self‐resolution. A typical case of a gout flare is presented. The role of the NLRP3 inflammasome in acute monosodium urate crystal‐induced inflammation is reviewed in detail.

The role of the purinergic P2X7 receptor in inflammation [PDF]
Journal of Inflammation, 2007 AbstractThe inflammatory process, orchestrated against a variety of injurious stimuli, is composed of three inter-related phases; initiation, propagation and resolution. Understanding the interplay between these three phases and harnessing the beneficial properties of inflammation whilst preventing its damaging effects, will undoubtedly lead to the ...

Exosome as bioactive nanovesicle for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in periodontitis
BMEMat, 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 ...
