Purinergic and Calcium Signaling in Macrophage Function and Plasticity [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers 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 in the gastrointestinal tract [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Geoffrey Burnstock completed a BSc at King's College London and a PhD at University College London. He held postdoctoral fellowships with Wilhelm Feldberg (National Institute for Medical Research), Edith Bülbring (University of Oxford) and C.

Changes in murine anorectum signaling across the life course [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background: Increasing age is associated with an increase in the incidence of chronic constipation and fecal impaction. The contribution of the natural aging process to these conditions is not fully understood.

Long-term (trophic) purinergic signalling: purinoceptors control cell proliferation, differentiation and death [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The purinergic signalling system, which uses purines and pyrimidines as chemical transmitters, and purinoceptors as effectors, is deeply rooted in evolution and development and is a pivotal factor in cell communication.

Understanding the role of P2X7 in affective disorders—are glial cells the major players? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Pathophysiology associated with several psychiatric disorders has been linked to inflammatory biomarkers. This has generated a theory of major depressive disorders as an inflammatory disease.

Deficiency of the purinergic receptor 2X7 attenuates nonalcoholic steatohepatitis induced by high-fat diet. possible role of the NLRP3 Inflammasome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Molecular mechanisms driving transition from simple steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a critical step in the progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to cirrhosis, are poorly defined. This study aimed at investigating the

Purinergic mechanosensory transduction and visceral pain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In this review, evidence is presented to support the hypothesis that mechanosensory transduction occurs in tubes and sacs and can initiate visceral pain.

Extracellular ATP drives systemic inflammation, tissue damage and mortality [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Co-Expression of Wild-Type P2X7R with Gln460Arg Variant Alters Receptor Function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The P2X7 receptor is a member of the P2X family of ligand-gated ion channels. A single-nucleotide polymorphism leading to a glutamine (Gln) by arginine (Arg) substitution at codon 460 of the purinergic P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) has been associated with mood ...

Purinergic receptor mediated calcium signalling in urothelial cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Non-neuronal ATP released from the urothelium in response to bladder stretch is a key modulator of bladder mechanosensation. Whilst non-neuronal ATP acts on the underlying bladder afferent nerves to facilitate sensation, there is also the potential for ...
