Purinergic receptor expression in neuronal, bladder smooth muscle and urothelial cells: characterization and inhibition by low molecular weight antagonists [PDF]
, 2009 P2 purinoceptors comprise ionotropic (P2X) and metabotropic (P2Y) receptor families, responsive to nucleotide ligands and diversely distributed on virtually every mammalian cell. Most cells and tissues co-express multiple subtypes of purinoceptor; thus,

Pharmacological Separation of Mechanosensory Mechanisms in Rat Urinary Bladder Ex Vivo
Pharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 14, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT The local response of the bladder wall to stretch is believed to result from the coordinated activation of mechanosensitive ion channels located in the plasma membrane of the cells that form the wall's urothelial and detrusor smooth muscle (DSM) layers.

Astrocyte Regulation of Spinal Circuit Function
Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 2, February 2026.Spinal cord astrocytes exist as an additional component of the computational framework that governs both sensory perceptions and motor outputs (left). By integrating local synaptic activity together with signals that reflect whole‐body state (e.g., neuromodulators, immune signals, and vascular signals) into defined input states (Sn), astrocytes adapt ...

Editorial: Purinergic Pharmacology [PDF]
, 2020 The purine nucleotides and nucleosides constitute important extracellular signaling molecules acting as neurotransmitters and neuromodulators. Indeed, extracellular adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine, tightly controlled by nucleotidases ...

The P2X receptor mediated regulation of inhibitory synaptic transmission [PDF]
In the central nervous system ATP can be released by neurons and glial cells through similar pathways as other neurotransmitters. Extracellular ATP targets P2X purinoreceptors, causing an influx of Ca2+ ions which transmit very important messages for ...

Expression and distribution of ectonucleotidases in mouse urinary bladder.
PLoS ONE, 2011 BackgroundNormal urinary bladder function requires bidirectional molecular communication between urothelium, detrusor smooth muscle and sensory neurons and one of the key mediators involved in this intercellular signaling is ATP.

Release of ATP in the ventral medulla during hypoxia in rats: role in hypoxic ventilatory response [PDF]
, 2005 P2X2 receptor subunits of the ATP-gated ion channels are expressed by physiologically identified respiratory neurons in the ventral respiratory column, implicating ATP in the control of respiratory activity.
