Purinergic Signaling in Bone [PDF]
Journal of Osteoporosis, 2013 In recent years, it has become apparent that extracellular nucleotides, signalling via P2 receptors, play an important role in the regulation of bone turnover. Furthermore, purinergic signalling has been associated in the pathophysiology of several bone and cartilage diseases, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoporosis and might ...

Purinergic signaling in epilepsy [PDF]
Journal of Neuroscience Research, 2016 Until recently, analysis of the mechanisms underlying epilepsy was centered on neuron dysfunctions. Accordingly, most of the available pharmacological treatments aim at reducing neuronal excitation or at potentiating neuronal inhibition. These therapeutic options can lead to obvious secondary effects, and, moreover, seizures cannot be controlled by any

British Journal of Pharmacology, 2006 While there were early papers about the extracellular actions of purines, the role of ATP as a purinergic neurotransmitter in nonadrenergic, noncholinergic nerves in the gut and bladder in 1972 was a landmark discovery, although it met considerable resistance for the next 20 years. In the early 1990s, receptors for purines were cloned: four P1 receptor

Purinergic signalling and diabetes [PDF]
Purinergic Signalling, 2013 The pancreas is an organ with a central role in nutrient breakdown, nutrient sensing and release of hormones regulating whole body nutrient homeostasis. In diabetes mellitus, the balance is broken-cells can be starving in the midst of plenty. There are indications that the incidence of diabetes type 1 and 2, and possibly pancreatogenic diabetes, is ...

Purine and purinergic receptors in health and disease
MedComm, 2023 Purines and purinergic receptors are widely distributed throughout the human body. Purine molecules within cells play crucial roles in regulating energy metabolism and other cellular processes, while extracellular purines transmit signals through ...

Purinergic Signalling: Pathophysiological Roles
Japanese Journal of Pharmacology, 1998 In this review, after a summary of the history and current status of the receptors involved in purinergic signalling, we focus on the distribution and physiological roles of purines and pyrimidines in both short-term events such as neurotransmission, exocrine and endocrine secretion and regulation of immune cell function, and long-term events such as ...

Purinergic signalling and cancer [PDF]
Purinergic Signalling, 2013 Receptors for extracellular nucleotides are widely expressed by mammalian cells. They mediate a large array of responses ranging from growth stimulation to apoptosis, from chemotaxis to cell differentiation and from nociception to cytokine release, as well as neurotransmission.

Purinergic Signaling and Related Biomarkers in Depression
Brain Sciences, 2020 It is established that purinergic signaling can shape a wide range of physiological functions, including neurotransmission and neuromodulation. The purinergic system may play a role in the pathophysiology of mood disorders, influencing neurotransmitter ...

The Potential of Purinergic Signaling to Thwart Viruses Including SARS-CoV-2
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 A long-shared evolutionary history is congruent with the multiple roles played by purinergic signaling in viral infection, replication and host responses that can assist or hinder viral functions.
