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.

Purinergic and Calcium Signaling in Macrophage Function and Plasticity
Frontiers in Immunology, 2014 In addition to a fundamental role in cellular bioenergetics, the purine nucleotide adenosine triphosphate (ATP) plays a crucial role in the extracellular space as a signaling molecule.

Purinergic Signaling and Related Biomarkers in Depression
Brain Sciences, 2020 It is established that purinergic signaling can shape a wide range of physiological functions, including neurotransmission and neuromodulation. The purinergic system may play a role in the pathophysiology of mood disorders, influencing neurotransmitter ...

Pharmacochemistry of the platelet purinergic receptors [PDF]
Purinergic Signalling, 2011 Platelets contain at least five purinergic G protein-coupled receptors, e.g., the pro-aggregatory P2Y(1) and P2Y(12) receptors, a P2Y(14) receptor (GPR105) of unknown function, and anti-aggregatory A(2A) and A(2B) adenosine receptor (ARs), in addition to the ligand-gated P2X1 ion channel.

Purinergic signaling in the modulation of redox biology
Redox Biology, 2021 Purinergic signaling is a cell communication pathway mediated by extracellular nucleotides and nucleosides. Tri- and diphosphonucleotides are released in physiological and pathological circumstances activating purinergic type 2 receptors (P2 receptors ...

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 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.

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.
