Purinergic signaling as a basis of acupuncture-induced analgesia

Purinergic Signalling Purinergic Signalling, 2020
This review summarizes experimental evidence indicating that purinergic mechanisms are causally involved in acupuncture (AP)-induced analgesia. Electroacupuncture (EAP) and manual AP release at pain-relevant acupoints ATP which may activate purinergic ...

Ontogeny of purinergic receptor-regulated Ca2+ signaling in mouse cortical collecting duct epithelium [PDF]

, 2002
Changes in ATP-induced increase in {[}Ca2+], during collecting duct ontogeny were studied in primary monolayer cultures of mouse ureteric bud (UB) and cortical collecting duct (CCD) cells by Fura-PE3 fluorescence ratio imaging.

G protein‐coupled receptor‐mediated autophagy in health and disease

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest and most diverse superfamily of mammalian transmembrane proteins. These receptors are involved in a wide range of physiological functions and are targets for more than a third of available drugs in the market. Autophagy is a cellular process involved in degrading damaged proteins and organelles

Mechanisms of sensorineural cell damage, death and survival in the cochlea. [PDF]

, 2015
The majority of acquired hearing loss, including presbycusis, is caused by irreversible damage to the sensorineural tissues of the cochlea. This article reviews the intracellular mechanisms that contribute to sensorineural damage in the cochlea, as well ...

ERNEST COST action overview on the (patho)physiology of GPCRs and orphan GPCRs in the nervous system

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large family of cell surface receptors that play a critical role in nervous system function by transmitting signals between cells and their environment. They are involved in many, if not all, nervous system processes, and their dysfunction has been linked to various neurological disorders representing important

Purinergic Signaling Controls Spontaneous Activity in the Auditory System throughout Early Development

Journal of Neuroscience, 2020
Spontaneous bursts of electrical activity in the developing auditory system arise within the cochlea before hearing onset and propagate through future sound-processing circuits of the brain to promote maturation of auditory neurons.

Regional differences in store-operated Ca2+ entry in the epithelium of the intact human lens [PDF]

, 2009
An elevated level of Ca2+ is an important factor in cataract, yet precisely how Ca2+ enters the lens is unknown. Lens epithelial cells contain a range of G-protein–coupled receptors and receptor tyrosine kinases that induce increases in intracellular Ca2+

Progress on the development of Class A GPCR‐biased ligands

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Class A G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) continue to garner interest for their essential roles in cell signalling and their importance as drug targets. Although numerous drugs in the clinic target these receptors, over 60% GPCRs remain unexploited. Moreover, the adverse effects triggered by the available unbiased GPCR modulators, limit their use and

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.
