Mitochondria Synergize With P2 Receptors to Regulate Human T Cell Function
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Intracellular ATP is the universal energy carrier that fuels many cellular processes. However, immune cells can also release a portion of their ATP into the extracellular space.

Purinergic signaling in the male reproductive tract
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Purinergic receptors are ubiquitously expressed throughout the body and they participate in the autocrine and paracrine regulation of cell function during normal physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

Purinergic Signaling in Ovarian Carcinoma. [PDF]
Adv Pharm BullOvarian carcinoma (OC) is the most lethal gynecological cancer worldwide. Around 95% of patients exhibit recurrence five years after treatment; 80% experience recurrence within 18 months after first-line treatment, and progression-free survival rates have not changed over the past 40 years. New therapeutic approaches are imperative to face this complex

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

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 signaling in the ovary [PDF]
Molecular Reproduction and Development, 2015 SUMMARYAdenosine triphosphate (ATP) is released from the cell by multiple mechanisms. The extracellular form of this purine is processed by ectonucleotidases, resulting in a variety of dephosphorylated metabolites that can bind to specific receptors found in the membrane of target cells; such purinergic signaling is important as an autocrine‐paracrine ...

Highlights in Purinergic Signalling [PDF]
Purinergic Signalling, 2009 It has become increasingly clear that receptors and ion channels in the plasma membrane do not exist and function in isolation, but instead form complexes with other proteins and this can modify their expression and activity. In this study, the authors determined which proteins complex with the P2X2 receptor and characterised the influence of one ...

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

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.
