Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2009
There is a brief summary of the early background literature about purinergic signalling and its involvement in pain, of ATP storage, release and ectoenzymatic breakdown and of the current classification of receptor subtypes for purines and pyrimidines. The review then focuses on purinergic mechanosensory transduction involved in visceral, cutaneous and

Variation in the purinergic P2RX7 receptor gene and schizophrenia
Schizophrenia Research, 2008 The purinergic receptor gene P2RX(7) is located in a major linkage hotspot for schizophrenia and bipolar disorders, 12q21-33. It has previously been associated with bipolar disorder but has never been analysed in relation to schizophrenia, although it is

Purinergic receptors in airway hydration
Biochemical Pharmacology, 2021Airway epithelial purinergic receptors control key components of the mucociliary clearance (MCC), the dominant component of pulmonary host defense. In healthy airways, the periciliary liquid (PCL) is optimally hydrated, thus acting as an efficient lubricant layer over which the mucus layer moves by ciliary force.

Purinergic receptors, prostacyclin and atherosclerosis
Pharmacological Research, 1992Over the last decade, evidence has been provided that endothelial cells have a metabolic function in order to maintain blood vessel homeostasis. The endothelium releases relaxing and contracting factors in response to endogenous or exogenous substances such as acetylcholine, calcimycine, adenosine 5'triphosphate (ATP), bradykinin, arachidonic acid and ...

Purinergic and Glutamatergic Receptors on Astroglia
2014Astroglial cells express many neurotransmitter receptors; the receptors to glutamate and ATP being the most abundant. Here, we provide a concise overview on the expression and main properties of astroglial glutamate receptors (ionotropic receptors represented by AMPA and NMDA subtypes) and metabotropic (mainly mGluR5 and mGluR3 subtypes) and ...

Journal of Neuroscience Research, 2008 In the rat brain, a heteromeric association between adenosine A(1) and purinergic P2Y(1) receptors has been demonstrated. It is suggested that this association plays an important role in the control of purine-mediated responses during pathophysiological ...

Abstract The term purinergic receptor (or purinoceptor ) was first introduced to describe classes of membrane receptors that, when activated by either neurally released ATP (P2 purinoceptor ) or its breakdown product adenosine (P1 purinoceptor ), mediated relaxation of gut smooth muscle (Burnstock 1972, 1978).

PET Imaging of Purinergic Receptors
2020Over the recent years, interest in the purinergic signaling system has sparked in the field of positron emission tomography (PET). Purinergic receptors play key roles in physiological and pathological processes, although the exact role in these processes is not always fully understood.

Purinergic receptors in auditory neurotransmission
Hearing Research, 2003The effects of ATP (adenosine 5' triphosphate) analogs on gross cochlear potentials and single primary afferent discharge properties were studied by intracochlear perfusion in anesthetized guinea pigs. ATP-gamma-S was most potent, with betagammamethylene-ATP and Bz-ATP being significantly less effective.

Purinergic receptors in gastrointestinal inflammation
American Journal of Physiology-Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology, 2008Purinergic receptors comprise a family of transmembrane receptors that are activated by extracellular nucleosides and nucleotides. The two major classes of purinergic receptors, P1 and P2, are expressed widely in the gastrointestinal tract as well as immune cells.
