Simultaneous quantification of 12 different nucleotides and nucleosides released from renal epithelium and in human urine samples using ion-pair reversed-phase HPLC [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Nucleotides and nucleosides are not only involved in cellular metabolism but also act extracellularly via P1 and P2 receptors, to elicit a wide variety of physiological and pathophysiological responses through paracrine and autocrine signalling pathways.

Purinergic Regulation of Neutrophil Function

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Purinergic signaling, which utilizes nucleotides (particularly ATP) and adenosine as transmitter molecules, plays an essential role in immune system. In the extracellular compartment, ATP predominantly functions as a pro-inflammatory molecule through ...

Purinergic Signaling During Hyperglycemia in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
The activation of purinergic receptors by nucleotides and/or nucleosides plays an important role in the control of vascular function, including modulation of vascular smooth muscle excitability, and vascular reactivity.

Dysregulation of Astrocytic ATP/Adenosine Release in the Hippocampus Cause Cognitive and Affective Disorders: Molecular Mechanisms, Diagnosis, and Therapy

open access: yesMedComm
The gliotransmitter adenosine 5'‐triphosphate (ATP) and its enzymatic degradation product adenosine play a major role in orchestrating in the hippocampus cognitive and affective functions via P2 purinoceptors (P2X, P2Y) and P1 adenosine receptors (A1 ...

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

Imeglimin attenuates liver fibrosis by inhibiting vesicular ATP release from hepatic stellate cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Imeglimin, at clinically relevant concentrations, inhibits vesicular ATP accumulation and release from hepatic stellate cells, thereby attenuating purinergic signaling and reducing fibrogenic activation. This mechanism reveals a newly identified antifibrotic action of imeglimin beyond glycemic control.

ENTPDase inhibitors: therapeutic potential in infectious, inflammatory, and neuroinflammatory diseases [PDF]

open access: yesExploration of Neuroscience
Ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases (ENTPDases), members of the cluster of differentiation 39 (CD39) family, are key regulators of purinergic signaling through the hydrolysis of tri and diphosphate nucleotides.

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

open access: yes, 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.

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

Calhm6 Governs Macrophage Polarization Through Chp1‐Camk4‐Creb1 Axis and Ectosomal Delivery in Inflammatory Responses

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Calhm6 drives M2 macrophage polarization via the Chp1‐Camk4‐Creb1 axis, suppressing inflammation through calcium‐dependent ectosomal delivery. Calhm6 deficiency enhances M1 responses, boosting bactericidal activity but exacerbating tissue damage. LPS/IFNγ upregulate Calhm6 via Irf1, while IL‐4/Stat6 inhibits it, balancing immune outcomes.
