Folia Neuropathologica, 2022 Purinergic signalling is involved in the control of several processes related to brain development, such as neurogenesis and gliogenesis, migration and differentiation of neuronal precursors, synaptogenesis and synaptic elimination to achieve a fully ...

Sympathetic nerve-derived ATP regulates renal medullary vasa recta diameter via pericyte cells: a role for regulating medullary blood flow? [PDF]
, 2013 Pericyte cells are now known to be a novel locus of blood flow control, being able to regulate capillary diameter via their unique morphology and expression of contractile proteins.

Ethanol upregulates the P2X7 purinergic receptor in human macrophages
Fundamental & Clinical Pharmacology, 2018 Alcohol consumption is considered to be the third leading cause of death in the United States. In addition to its direct toxicity, ethanol has two contrasting effects on the immune system: the nucleotide oligomerization domain‐like receptor pyrin domain ...

The relationship between P2X4 and P2X7: a physiologically important interaction? [PDF]
, 2013 Purinergic signaling within the kidney is becoming an important focus in the study of renal health and disease. The effectors of ATP signaling, the P2Y and P2X receptors, are expressed to varying extents in and along the nephron.

Expression of P2 nucleotide receptors varies with age and sex in murine brain microglia
Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2009 Microglia are implicated in multiple neurodegenerative disorders, many of which display sexual dimorphisms and have symptom onsets at different ages. P2 purinergic receptors are critical for regulating various microglial functions, but little is known ...

P2X1 and P2X5 subunits form the functional P2X receptor in mouse cortical astrocytes [PDF]
, 2008 ATP plays an important role in signal transduction between neuronal and glial circuits and within glial networks. Here we describe currents activated by ATP in astrocytes acutely isolated from cortical brain slices by non-enzymatic mechanical ...

Purinergic receptors in cognitive disturbances
Neurobiology of Disease, 2023 Purinergic receptors (Rs) of the ATP/ADP, UTP/UDP (P2X, P2Y) and adenosine (A1, A2A)-sensitive classes broadly interfere with cognitive processes both under quasi normal and disease conditions. During neurodegenerative illnesses, high concentrations of ATP are released from the damaged neuronal and non-neuronal cells of the brain; then, this ATP is ...

The Potential of Purinergic Signaling to Thwart Viruses Including SARS-CoV-2
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 A long-shared evolutionary history is congruent with the multiple roles played by purinergic signaling in viral infection, replication and host responses that can assist or hinder viral functions.

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