Purinergic Signalling in the Cochlea

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 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.

Neonatal Seizures and Purinergic Signalling [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Neonatal seizures are one of the most common comorbidities of neonatal encephalopathy, with seizures aggravating acute injury and clinical outcomes. Current treatment can control early life seizures; however, a high level of pharmacoresistance remains among infants, with increasing evidence suggesting current anti-seizure medication potentiating brain ...

Purinergic Signalling and Inflammation-Related Diseases

Cells, 2022
While acute inflammation is widely accepted as an important response mechanism of cells against tissue injury, sustained inflammatory processes are increasingly recognized as one of the main contributors to numerous diseases, including central-nervous ...

Long-term (trophic) purinergic signalling: purinoceptors control cell proliferation, differentiation and death [PDF]

, 2010
The purinergic signalling system, which uses purines and pyrimidines as chemical transmitters, and purinoceptors as effectors, is deeply rooted in evolution and development and is a pivotal factor in cell communication.

Evolutionary origins of taste buds: phylogenetic analysis of purinergic neurotransmission in epithelial chemosensors [PDF]

Open Biology, 2013
Taste buds are gustatory endorgans which use an uncommon purinergic signalling system to transmit information to afferent gustatory nerve fibres. In mammals, ATP is a crucial neurotransmitter released by the taste cells to activate the afferent nerve ...

Alterations of Purinergic Receptors Levels and Their Involvement in the Glial Cell Morphology in a Pre-Clinical Model of Autism Spectrum Disorders

Brain Sciences, 2023
Recent data suggest that defects in purinergic signalling are a common denominator of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), though nothing is known about whether the disorder-related imbalance occurs at the receptor level.

A model for the generation of localized transient Na+ elevations in vascular smooth muscle [PDF]

Biochem Biophys Res Commun 389, 461-465 (2009), 2009
We present a stochastic computational model to study the mechanism of signalling between a source and a target ionic transporter, both localized on the plasma membrane (PM) and in intracellular nanometre-scale subplasmalemmal signalling compartments comprising the PM, the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), Ca2+ and Na+ transporters, and the intervening ...

Purinergic receptor mediated calcium signalling in urothelial cells [PDF]

, 2019
Non-neuronal ATP released from the urothelium in response to bladder stretch is a key modulator of bladder mechanosensation. Whilst non-neuronal ATP acts on the underlying bladder afferent nerves to facilitate sensation, there is also the potential for ...

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 ...
