The role of the purinergic P2X7 receptor in inflammation [PDF]
Journal of Inflammation, 2007 AbstractThe inflammatory process, orchestrated against a variety of injurious stimuli, is composed of three inter-related phases; initiation, propagation and resolution. Understanding the interplay between these three phases and harnessing the beneficial properties of inflammation whilst preventing its damaging effects, will undoubtedly lead to the ...

Extracellular ATP drives systemic inflammation, tissue damage and mortality [PDF]
, 2014 Systemic inflammatory response syndromes (SIRS) may be caused by both infectious and sterile insults, such as trauma, ischemia-reperfusion or burns. They are characterized by early excessive inflammatory cytokine production and the endogenous release of ...

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 ...

ATP Released by Injured Neurons Activates Schwann Cells [PDF]
, 2016 Injured nerve terminals of neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) can regenerate. This remarkable and complex response is governed by molecular signals that are exchanged among the cellular components of this synapse: motor axon nerve terminal (MAT ...

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.

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.

Activation of the P2Y2 receptor regulates bone cell function by enhancing ATP release [PDF]
, 2017 Bone cells constitutively release ATP into the extracellular environment where it acts locally via P2 receptors to regulate bone cell function. Whilst P2Y2 receptor stimulation regulates bone mineralisation, the functional effects of this receptor in ...

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.
