Mind the GAPS: Glia associated with psychological stress

open access: yesJournal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Abstract Glial cells are an integral component of the nervous system, performing crucial functions that extend beyond structural support, including modulation of the immune system, tissue repair, and maintaining tissue homeostasis. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of glial cells as key mediators of stress responses across different organs.

Dual control of vascular tone and remodelling by ATP released from nerves and endothelial cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Purinergic signalling is important both in short-term control of vascular tone and in longer-term control of cell proliferation, migration and death involved in vascular remodelling.

Diabetes-induced alterations in urothelium function:Enhanced ATP release and nerve-evoked contractions in the streptozotocin rat bladder [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Up to 80% of patients with diabetes mellitus develop lower urinary tract complications, most commonly diabetic bladder dysfunction (DBD). The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of diabetes on the function of the inner bladder lining ...

The human colon: Evidence for degenerative changes during aging and the physiological consequences

open access: yesNeurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Reduced nociceptor innervation can explain diminished abdominal pain among the elderly. Degenerative changes occur within the colon wall, especially ascending colon. Mechanisms may include senescence‐like activity and inflammaging. Constipation is more likely to occur during age‐related challenges affecting functions of the bowel that now have reduced ...

Activity-dependent release of Adenosine: a critical re-evaluation of mechanism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Adenosine is perhaps the most important and universal modulator in the brain. The current consensus is that it is primarily produced in the extracellular space from the breakdown of previously released ATP.

Mechanisms of enteric neuropathy in diverse contexts of gastrointestinal dysfunction

open access: yesNeurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Abstract The enteric nervous system (ENS) commands moment‐to‐moment gut functions through integrative neurocircuitry housed in the gut wall. The functional continuity of ENS networks is disrupted in enteric neuropathies and contributes to major disturbances in normal gut activities including abnormal gut motility, secretions, pain, immune dysregulation,

Age- and Experience-Related Plasticity of ATP-Mediated Signaling in the Neocortex

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
There is growing recognition of the important role of interaction between neurons and glial cells for brain longevity. The extracellular ATP have been shown to bring significant contribution into bi-directional glia-neuron communications, in particular ...

The role of reactive enteric glia‐macrophage interactions in acute and chronic inflammation

open access: yesNeurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Abstract Enteric glia are a heterogeneous population of peripheral glia within the enteric nervous system and play pivotal roles in gut homeostasis, tissue integrity, coordination of motility, and intestinal immune responses. Under physiological conditions, they communicate with enteric neurons to control intestinal motility.

Integrating UHPLC-MS/MS quantitative analysis and exogenous purine supplementation to elucidate the antidepressant mechanism of Chaigui granules by regulating purine metabolism

open access: yesJournal of Pharmaceutical Analysis, 2023
Chaigui granules (CG) are a compound composed of six herbal medicines with significant antidepressant effects. However, the antidepressant mechanism of CG remains unclear. In the present study, we attempted to elucidate the antidepressant mechanism of CG

Release of ATP in the ventral medulla during hypoxia in rats: role in hypoxic ventilatory response [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
P2X2 receptor subunits of the ATP-gated ion channels are expressed by physiologically identified respiratory neurons in the ventral respiratory column, implicating ATP in the control of respiratory activity.
