De Novo Gene Transcription of Connexin Mediates Cytoplasmic Fluid Exchange and Flocking Transitions in Physiological and Cancerous Epithelial Systems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
EGF‐induced de novo transcription of connexins Cx26 and Cx31 promotes flocking behavior that fluidizes epithelia and enables coordinated collective migration. Connexin‐driven cytoplasmic exchange mechanistically links growth‐factor signaling to invasive dynamics.

Mesenchymal stem cells from tumor microenvironment favour breast cancer stem cell proliferation, cancerogenic and metastatic potential, via ionotropic purinergic signalling

Scientific Reports, 2017
Interaction between tumor cells and the microenvironment is key in initiation, progression, and invasiveness of cancer. In particular, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are recruited to the sites of developing tumors, thus promoting metastasis formation ...

T Cell Exhaustion in Cancer Immunotherapy: Heterogeneity, Mechanisms, and Therapeutic Opportunities

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
T cell exhaustion limits immunotherapy efficacy. This article delineates its progression from stem‐like to terminally exhausted states, governed by persistent antigen, transcription factors, epigenetics, and metabolism. It maps the exhaustion landscape in the TME and proposes integrated reversal strategies, providing a translational roadmap to overcome

Beneficial effect of electroacupuncture on the distribution of foreign substances in the brain of rats developing depression-like behavior

IBRO Neuroscience Reports, 2023
We used low and high molecular weight fluorescence tracers to investigate the entry of foreign solutes into the brain parenchyma and their exit from it by the glymphatic system, during experimentally induced depressive-like behavior in rats.

Polydatin alleviates mitochondrial damage and apoptosis of lung epithelial cells by inhibiting toll‐like receptor 4‐dependent macrophage activation in asthma

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The alleviation of asthma by polydatin is dependent on the blockage of the toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4)/P2X7R synergy in macrophages. The blockage of the TLR4/P2X7R synergy results in decreased release and secretion of interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β) and IL‐18. In epithelial cells, low IL‐1β and IL‐18 levels inhibit mitochondrial damage and apoptosis.

Endogenous Repair in Vanishing White Matter

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Vanishing white matter is a leukodystrophy with remarkable regional variation in disease severity. The cerebral and cerebellar white matter chronically degenerates, while stress‐induced episodes of rapid neurological deterioration coincide with the appearance of acute focal lesions in the deep gray structures and brainstem.

Purinergic signaling in hepatic disease [PDF]

Purinergic Signalling, 2019
Extracellular purines (ATP and adenosine) are ubiquitous intercellular messengers. During tissular damage, they function as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). In this context, purines announce tissue alterations to initiate a reparative response that involve the formation of the inflammasome complex and the recruitment of specialized cells ...

Purinergic signalling links mechanical breath profile and alveolar mechanics with the pro-inflammatory innate immune response causing ventilation-induced lung injury

Purinergic Signalling Purinergic Signalling, 2017
Severe pulmonary infection or vigorous cyclic deformation of the alveolar epithelial type I (AT I) cells by mechanical ventilation leads to massive extracellular ATP release.

Prothrombotic Activation of Platelet Pannexin 1 Channels in Antiphospholipid Syndrome

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Background ATP is released from platelets through both degranulation and pannexin‐1 (PANX1) channels. ATP then activates P2X receptors to amplify platelet activation via calcium‐dependent signaling. Objective To evaluate the role of platelet PANX1 channels in the pathophysiology of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), an acquired thrombo‐inflammatory ...

Purinergic signalling in osteoblasts

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2012
The skeleton is maintained throughout life via the finely tuned actions of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, with disruption in this balance eventually leading to bone disease. The exact mechanisms balancing these actions are not fully known, although several regulatory systems are known to be involved.
