Purinergic signalling in neuroregeneration

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2015
Purinergic signalling, adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) as an extracellular signalling molecule, was proposed in 1972 (Burnstock, 1972). However, it was not generally accepted until the early 1990s when receptors for ATP and its breakdown product adenosine were cloned and characterised (Ralevic and Burnstock, 1998).

Purinergic Signalling: Pathophysiological Roles

open access: diamondJapanese 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 in the Cochlea. [PDF]

open access: yesInt J Mol Sci, 2022
The mammalian cochlea is the sensory organ of hearing with a delicate, highly organised structure that supports unique operating mechanisms. ATP release from the secretory tissues of the cochlear lateral wall (stria vascularis) triggers numerous physiological responses by activating P2 receptors in sensory, supporting and neural tissues.

Purinergic Signaling in Neuroinflammation [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
ATP is stored in millimolar concentrations within the intracellular medium but may be released to extracellular sites either through the damaged plasma membrane or by means of various transporters [...]

Peripheral and Spinal Mechanisms Involved in Electro-Acupuncture Therapy for Visceral Hypersensitivity

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
One of the important characteristic features of clinically significant gastrointestinal disorders is visceral hypersensitivity (VH). Pain sensitization or VH is a big challenge for clinicians and becomes a very thorny work in clinical practices; the ...

Association of the ADORA2A receptor and CD73 polymorphisms with epilepsy

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms are connected with the risk of epilepsy on occurrence, progress, and the individual response to drugs. Progress in genomic technology is exposing the complex genetic architecture of epilepsy.

Metabolic Changes Induced by Purinergic Signaling: Role in Food Intake

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
The purinergic signalling has a well-established role in the regulation of energy homeostasis, but there is growing evidence of its implication in the control of food intake.

Astrocytes in human central nervous system diseases: a frontier for new therapies

open access: yesSignal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, 2023
Astroglia are a broad class of neural parenchymal cells primarily dedicated to homoeostasis and defence of the central nervous system (CNS). Astroglia contribute to the pathophysiology of all neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders in ways that can ...
