Pharmacological and Molecular Characterisation of P2Y Receptors in Endothelial and Epithelial Cells [PDF]
, 2007 Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Wolverhampton for the degree of Doctor of PhilosophyIn light of the significant modulation of receptor activity previously shown by a peptide (designated L247), designed to mimic ...

Emerging key roles for P2X receptors in the kidney [PDF]
, 2013 P2X ionotropic non-selective cation channels are expressed throughout the kidney and are activated in a paracrine or autocrine manner following the binding of extracellular ATP and related extracellular nucleotides.

Purinergic signaling in schistosomal infection
Biomedical Journal, 2016 Human schistosomiasis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by blood fluke worms belonging to the genus Schistosoma. Health metrics indicate that the disease is related to an elevated number of years lost-to-disability and years lost-to-life ...

Changes in P2Y Purinergic Receptor Expression in the Ciliary Body in a Murine Model of Glaucoma
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2017 Glaucoma is a neuropathology, often accompanied by an elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), which can lead to blindness. Since DBA/2J mice develop glaucoma, several studies of the physiopathology of glaucoma have been reported in this animal model.

Purinergic signaling: A gatekeeper of blood-brain barrier permeation
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2023 This review outlined evidence that purinergic signaling is involved in the modulation of blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. The functional and structural integrity of the BBB is critical for maintaining the homeostasis of the brain microenvironment.

Purines, Purinergic Receptors, and Cancer [PDF]
Cancer Research, 2012 AbstractPurines 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 microenvironment, (ii) potent ...

Role of Pannexin-1 hemichannels and purinergic receptors in the pathogenesis of human diseases
Frontiers in Physiology, 2014 In the last decade several groups have determined the key role of hemichannels formed by pannexins or connexins, extracellular ATP and purinergic receptors in physiological and pathological conditions.
