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

open access: yesCell 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]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Purinergic Signaling in Spermatogenesis

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Mitochondria Synergize With P2 Receptors to Regulate Human T Cell Function

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
Intracellular ATP is the universal energy carrier that fuels many cellular processes. However, immune cells can also release a portion of their ATP into the extracellular space.

Metabolic Changes Induced by Purinergic Signaling: Role in Food Intake

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
The purinergic signalling has a well-established role in the regulation of energy homeostasis, but there is growing evidence of its implication in the control of food intake.

Pathophysiological Role of Extracellular Purinergic Mediators in the Control of Intestinal Inflammation

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2015
Purinergic mediators such as adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) are released into the extracellular compartment from damaged tissues and activated immune cells. They are then recognized by multiple purinergic P2X and P2Y receptors.

Mechanisms of astrocytic and microglial purinergic signaling in homeostatic regulation and implications for neurological disease [PDF]

open access: yesExploration of Neuroscience
Purinergic signaling, mediated by ATP and adenosine receptors, plays a crucial role in cellular communication and homeostasis within the central nervous system (CNS), particularly by regulating synaptic activity, glial cell functions, and neuroplasticity.

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

P2X1 and P2X5 subunits form the functional P2X receptor in mouse cortical astrocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

mGluR1 receptors contribute to non-purinergic slow excitatory transmission to submucosal VIP neurons of guinea-pig ileum

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2009
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) immunoreactive secretomotor neurons in the submucous plexus are involved in mediating bacterial toxin-induced hypersecretion leading to diarrhoea.
