Purinoreceptors and ectonucleotidases control ATP-induced calcium waveforms and calcium-dependent responses in microglia: Roles of P2 receptors and CD39 in ATP-stimulated microglia

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and its metabolites drive microglia migration and cytokine production by activating P2X- and P2Y- class purinergic receptors.

Alterations of Purinergic Receptors Levels and Their Involvement in the Glial Cell Morphology in a Pre-Clinical Model of Autism Spectrum Disorders

Brain Sciences, 2023
Recent data suggest that defects in purinergic signalling are a common denominator of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), though nothing is known about whether the disorder-related imbalance occurs at the receptor level.

Purinergic Receptors: Elucidating the Role of these Immune Mediators in HIV-1 Fusion

Viruses, 2020
Purinergic receptors are inflammatory mediators activated by extracellular nucleotides released by dying or injured cells. Several studies have described an important role for these receptors in HIV-1 entry, particularly regarding their activity on HIV-1

Traditional Chinese medicine alleviating neuropathic pain targeting purinergic receptor P2 in purinergic signaling: A review

Brain Research Bulletin, 2023
Past studies have suggested that Chinese herbal may alleviate neuropathic pain, and the mechanism might target the inhibition of purinergic receptor P2.

Identification of atropine-and P2X1 receptor antagonist-reistant, neurogenic contractions of the urinary bladder [PDF]

, 2007
Acetylcholine and ATP are excitatory cotransmitters in parasympathetic nerves. We used P2X1 receptor antagonists to further characterize the purinergic component of neurotransmission in isolated detrusor muscle of guinea pig urinary bladder.

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

Journal 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 Receptors in the Airways: Potential Therapeutic Targets for Asthma?

Frontiers in Allergy, 2021
Extracellular ATP functions as a signaling messenger through its actions on purinergic receptors, and is known to be involved in numerous physiological and pathophysiological processes throughout the body, including in the lungs and airways. Consequently,

ATP as a presynaptic modulator [PDF]

, 2000
© 2000 Elsevier Science Inc.There is considerable evidence that ATP acts as a fast transmitter or co-transmitter in autonomic and sensory nerves mostly through activation of ionotropic P2X receptors but also through metabotropic P2Y receptors. By analogy,

Synthesis, Biological Evaluation and Molecular Modeling Studies of Naphthoquinone Sulfonamides and Sulfonate Ester Derivatives as P2X7 Inhibitors

Molecules, 2023
ATP acts in the extracellular environment as an important signal, activating a family of receptors called purinergic receptors. In recent years, interest in the potential therapeutics of purinergic components, including agonists and antagonists of ...
