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 ...

Exocytosis of ATP from astrocytes modulates phasic and tonic inhibition in the neocortex [PDF]

, 2014
Communication between neuronal and glial cells is important for many brain functions. Astrocytes can modulate synaptic strength via Ca2+-stimulated release of various gliotransmitters, including glutamate and ATP. A physiological role of ATP release from

Delineating Purinergic Signaling in Drosophila

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Simplistic models can aid in discovering what is important in the context of normal and pathological behavior. First recognized as a genetic model more than 100 years ago, to date, fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) still remain an astonishingly good laboratory stand-in for scientists to study development and physiology and to investigate the ...

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.

Purinergic mechanosensory transduction and visceral pain [PDF]

, 2009
In this review, evidence is presented to support the hypothesis that mechanosensory transduction occurs in tubes and sacs and can initiate visceral pain.

NPP1 is responsible for potent extracellular ATP hydrolysis as NTPDase1 in primary cultured murine microglia [PDF]

, 2018
The movement of microglia is regulated mainly by P1 and P2 purinergic receptors, which are activated by various nucleotides and their metabolites.

Purinergic stimulation of K+-dependent Na+/Ca2+ exchanger isoform 4 requires dual activation by PKC and CaMKII

Bioscience Reports, 2013
K+-dependent Na+/Ca2+-exchanger isoform 4 (NCXK4) is one of the most broadly expressed members of the NCKX (K+-dependent Na+/Ca2+-exchanger) family.

A Systematic Review of the Expression, Signalling and Function of P2 Receptors in Primary Bone Cancer

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2022
Primary bone cancers are rare malignant diseases with significant morbidity and mortality. The treatment regimen relies on a combination of surgery (often involving amputation), chemotherapy and radiotherapy with outcomes dependent on localization of the

New insights into purinergic receptor signaling in neuronal differentiation, neuroprotection, and brain disorders [PDF]

, 2007
Ionotropic P2X and metabotropic P2Y purinergic receptors are expressed in the central nervous system and participate in the synaptic process particularly associated with acetylcholine, GABA, and glutamate neurotransmission. As a result of activation, the

Purinergic signaling in scarring

The FASEB Journal, 2015
ABSTRACT Adenosine (ADO) and nucleotides such as ATP, ADP, and uridine 5'‐triphosphate (UTP), among others, may serve as extracellular signaling molecules. These mediators activate specific cell‐surface receptors—namely, purinergic 1 and 2 (P1 and P2)—to modulate crucial pathophysiological responses. Regulation of
