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.

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 signalling pathway: therapeutic target in ovarian cancer

Egyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics, 2020
Background The lack of early diagnostic tools and the development of chemoresistance have made ovarian cancer (OC) one of the deadliest gynaecological cancers.

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 ...

Simultaneous quantification of 12 different nucleotides and nucleosides released from renal epithelium and in human urine samples using ion-pair reversed-phase HPLC [PDF]

, 2012
Nucleotides and nucleosides are not only involved in cellular metabolism but also act extracellularly via P1 and P2 receptors, to elicit a wide variety of physiological and pathophysiological responses through paracrine and autocrine signalling pathways.

Purinergic Receptor Expression and Potential Association with Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cell Development

Cell Journal, 2017
Objective: Due to recent progress in production of human embryonic stem cell-derived oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (hESC-OPCs) for ameliorating myelin disease such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and the role of purinergic signaling in OPCs development,

Exocytosis of ATP from astrocytes modulates phasic and tonic inhibition in the neocortex. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2014
Communication between neuronal and glial cells is important for many brain functions. Astrocytes can modulate synaptic strength via Ca(2+)-stimulated release of various gliotransmitters, including glutamate and ATP.

Involvement of P2Y₁, P2Y₆, A₁ and A_2A Receptors in the Purinergic Inhibition of NMDA-Evoked Noradrenaline Release in the Rat Brain Cortex

Cells, 2023
In the cerebral cortex, glutamate activates NMDA receptors (NMDARs), localized in noradrenergic neurons, inducing noradrenaline release that may have a permissive effect on glutamatergic transmission, and therefore, on the modulation of long-term ...

Purinergic receptors in airway epithelia [PDF]

Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2009
Nucleotides and nucleosides within the airway surface liquid regulate mucociliary clearance (MCC) activities, the primary innate defense mechanism that removes foreign particles and pathogens from airway surfaces. Nucleotide and nucleoside actions in the airways are mediated mainly by two purinergic receptor subtypes, the Gq-coupled ATP/UTP-sensing ...

Purinergic Signaling in Spermatogenesis

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) serves as the essential source of cellular energy. Over the last two decades, however, ATP has also attracted increasing interest as an extracellular signal that activates purinergic plasma membrane receptors of the P2 family.
