Purinergic receptors in skeletal muscles in health and in muscular dystrophy

, 2014
The P2 purinergic (nucleotide) receptor super-family comprises of two families of protein. The P2X, which are channel-forming ionotropic receptors and the P2Y metabotropic receptors activating G protein-mediated signalling pathways.

Novel therapeutic targets for chronic visceral pain in gastrointestinal disorders

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Chronic visceral pain imposes a major clinical challenge in gastroenterology and beyond, profoundly impacting patients' quality of life. However, limited understanding of its complex, multifaceted pathophysiology, encompassing both peripheral and central mechanisms, continues to impede the development of effective management strategies.

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

Exploration 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.

Nucleotide homeostasis and purinergic nociceptive signaling in rat meninges in migraine-like conditions

, 2020
© 2016, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.Extracellular ATP is suspected to contribute to migraine pain but regulatory mechanisms controlling pro-nociceptive purinergic mechanisms in the meninges remain unknown.

Neuronal and ion channel mechanisms of noxious heat sensing in mammals: A puzzle of sensory physiology and pharmacology

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) was the first noxious heat‐sensitive channel discovered. In rodents, its role is robust in the heat response of the cell body of polymodal nociceptors, but surprisingly small in that of the peripheral terminals in the skin.

Interactions between small leucine‐rich proteoglycans and proteases: implications for tissue homeostasis and pathology

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Small leucine‐rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) are key modulators of extracellular matrix structure and signaling. Their proteolytic processing by MMPs (Matrix Metalloproteinases), ADAMTS (disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin motifs), and serine proteases generates bioactive fragments that regulate collagen remodeling, inflammation, and ...

Exercise‐related microRNAs in Caenorhabditis elegans regulate calcium homeostasis and mitochondrial dynamics: Conserved pathways, divergent microRNAs

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Exercise‐related microRNAs cel‐miR‐249‐3p and cel‐miR‐77‐5p in C. elegans regulate lifespan, fitness, mitochondrial morphology and membrane potential. Although lacking direct mammalian orthologs, H2O2‐induced microRNAs mmu‐miR‐181a‐5p and mmu‐miR‐378a‐3p regulate myogenesis, autophagy, mitochondrial content and respiration in murine myoblasts ...

Proteolysis at the extracellular matrix interface: Molecular architects and regulators in health and disease

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a dynamic scaffold that orchestrates tissue architecture and cellular communication. A critical but underexplored interplay between proteases and cluster of differentiation molecules (CD) governs ECM turnover and directs cell fate.

The Role of Neuropeptide Y in Dental Pulp: Balancing Neurogenic Inflammation and Pain Modulation

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dental pulp is a densely innervated, low‐compliance tissue in which neurogenic inflammation can rapidly escalate into oedema, raised intrapulpal pressure, microvascular compromise, and pain. While Substance P (SP) and Calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) are well‐established drivers of pulp vasodilation, the Neuroopeptide Y (NPY ...
