Purinergic Signaling in Health and Disease

, 2020
Adenosine 5’-triphosphate (ATP) is one of the most abundant molecule in living cells serving as universal energy “currency.” After slow acceptance of the concept of the release and extracellular action of ATP, purinergic signaling is recognized as a ...

Purinergic Dysfunction in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a life‐threatening disease characterized by increased pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance, which result in an increase in afterload imposed onto the right ventricle, leading to right ...

Sodium Ions Affect GPR17 Conformational States and Functionality

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sodium is an allosteric modulator of several class‐A GPCR regulating active versus inactive conformation state and may be a critical issue for the optimization of crystallization procedures. Herein, the role of Na+ in the regulation of GPR17 conformational states was studied through MD simulations of GPR17 wild‐type and mutated on two ...

Purinergic signalling in neuroregeneration

Neural Regeneration Research, 2015
Purinergic signalling, adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) as an extracellular signalling molecule, was proposed in 1972 (Burnstock, 1972). However, it was not generally accepted until the early 1990s when receptors for ATP and its breakdown product adenosine were cloned and characterised (Ralevic and Burnstock, 1998).

Impact of sleep insufficiency and recovery on cancer development

Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Sleep plays a critical role in overall health, and modern lifestyles, such as shift work and late‐night activities, can significantly impact sleep condition. Insufficient sleep has been associated with various adverse health outcomes, including an increased risk of tumor development.

Adenosine—A Regulator of Human Testicular Peritubular Cells

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Extracellular purines, in particular ATP and adenosine, are regulators of physiological and pathophysiological processes throughout the human body. Roles in the human testis are emerging and include actions on peritubular cells, which form the wall of seminiferous tubules.

Human brain matters: Navigating the neuropathology of COVID‐19

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
Severe COVID‐19 is associated with vascular dysregulation and chronic neuroinflammation, leading to axonal injury and neurodegeneration. In long COVID or PASC, persistent alterations in neuroimaging and biofluid biomarkers reflect ongoing neuronal damage and neuroinflammation, contributing to long‐term neurological symptoms including fatigue, cognitive

Antipurinergic therapy corrects the autism-like features in the poly(IC) mouse model.

PLoS ONE, 2013
BackgroundAutism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are caused by both genetic and environmental factors. Mitochondria act to connect genes and environment by regulating gene-encoded metabolic networks according to changes in the chemistry of the cell and its ...

The potential for biased signalling in the P2Y receptor family of GPCRs

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The purinergic receptor family is primarily activated by nucleotides, and contains members of both the G protein coupled‐receptor (GPCR) superfamily (P1 and P2Y) and ligand‐gated ion channels (P2X). The P2Y receptors are widely expressed in the human body, and given the ubiquitous nature of nucleotides, purinergic signalling is involved with a plethora

Post-weaning social isolation impairs purinergic signaling in rat brain.

, 2021
Early life stressors, such as social isolation (SI), can disrupt brain development contributing to behavioral and neurochemical alterations in adulthood.
