Integrating UHPLC-MS/MS quantitative analysis and exogenous purine supplementation to elucidate the antidepressant mechanism of Chaigui granules by regulating purine metabolism

Journal of Pharmaceutical Analysis, 2023
Chaigui granules (CG) are a compound composed of six herbal medicines with significant antidepressant effects. However, the antidepressant mechanism of CG remains unclear. In the present study, we attempted to elucidate the antidepressant mechanism of CG

Purinergic receptors in neurogenic processes

Brain Research Bulletin, 2019
Neurogenesis is a process of generating functional neurons, which occurs during embryonic and adult stages in mammals. While neurogenesis during development phase is characterized by intensive proliferation activity in all regions of the brain to form the architecture and neural function of the nervous system, adult neurogenesis occurs with less ...

Inconsistent Transcriptomic Responses to Hexabromocyclododecane in Japanese Quail: A Comparative Analysis of Results From Four Different Study Designs

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract Efforts to use transcriptomics for toxicity testing have classically relied on the assumption that chemicals consistently produce characteristic transcriptomic signatures that are reflective of their mechanism of action. However, the degree to which transcriptomic responses are conserved across different test methodologies has seldom been ...

Diverse Subpopulations of Reactive Astrocytes Following Chronic Toxoplasma Infection

Glia, EarlyView.
Toxoplasma infection results in distinct astrocyte subpopulations. Chronically labeled reactive astrocytes appear transcriptionally plastic and can regain acute inflammatory responding and naive homeostatic astrocytic gene patterns in the presence of ongoing neuroinflammation.

Adrenergic Control of P2Y6 Receptor‐Dependent Phagocytosis in Rodent and Human Microglia

Glia, EarlyView.
Adrenergic signaling through ADRB2 modulates phagocytosis in microglia. Crosstalk between ADRB2 and P2Y6 receptors conserved in rodent and human microglia. ADRB2 activation inhibits both P2Y6 function and gene expression. ABSTRACT Microglia, the resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), are in constant survey of their environment ...

Purinergic signaling in schistosomal infection

Biomedical Journal, 2016
Human schistosomiasis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by blood fluke worms belonging to the genus Schistosoma. Health metrics indicate that the disease is related to an elevated number of years lost-to-disability and years lost-to-life ...

The bumpy road of purinergic inhibitors to clinical application in immune-mediated diseases

Neural Regeneration Research
Purinergic signaling plays important roles throughout the body in the regulation of organ functions during and following the disruption of homeostasis. This is also reflected by the widespread expression of two families of purinergic receptors (P1 and P2)

Building Immunocompetent Cerebral Organoids From a Developmental Perspective

Glia, EarlyView.
Conventional cerebral organoids do not contain microglia, which must be added. We propose recommendations to assess microglial immunocompetence using quantitative approaches and stringent statistical analysis to help develop standardized protocols. ABSTRACT Cerebral organoids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are increasingly ...

Deficiency of the purinergic receptor 2X7 attenuates nonalcoholic steatohepatitis induced by high-fat diet. possible role of the NLRP3 Inflammasome [PDF]

, 2017
Molecular mechanisms driving transition from simple steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a critical step in the progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to cirrhosis, are poorly defined. This study aimed at investigating the

ATP- and Adenosine-Mediated Signaling in the Central Nervous System: Purinergic Receptor Complex: Generating Adenine Nucleotide-Sensitive Adenosine Receptors

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2004
Adenosine A1 receptors (A1R) are able to form a heteromeric complex with P2Y1 receptors (P2Y1R) that generates A1R with P2Y1R-like agonistic pharmacology.
