PET imaging of purinergic receptors

open access: yes, 2020
Over the recent years, interest in the purinergic signaling system has sparked in the field of positron emission tomography (PET). Purinergic receptors play key roles in physiological and pathological processes, although the exact role in these processes

Neurochemical Changes in the Mouse Hippocampus Underlying the Antidepressant Effect of Genetic Deletion of P2X7 Receptors. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Recent investigations have revealed that the genetic deletion of P2X7 receptors (P2rx7) results in an antidepressant phenotype in mice. However, the link between the deficiency of P2rx7 and changes in behavior has not yet been explored.

Nanobody-Based Biologics for Modulating Purinergic Signaling in Inflammation and Immunity

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) are released as danger signals from cells during infection and sterile inflammation.

Uridine Adenosine Tetraphosphate-Induced Coronary Relaxation Is Blunted in Swine With Pressure Overload: A Role for Vasoconstrictor Prostanoids

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
Plasma levels of the vasoactive substance uridine adenosine tetraphosphate (Up4A) are elevated in hypertensive patients and Up4A-induced vascular contraction is exacerbated in various arteries isolated from hypertensive animals, suggesting a potential ...

Coexpression of rat P2X2 and P2X6 subunits in Xenopus oocytes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Transcripts for P2X(2) and P2X(6) subunits are present in rat CNS and frequently colocalize in the same brainstem nuclei. When rat P2X(2) (rP2X(2)) and rat P2X(6) (rP2X(6)) receptors were expressed individually in Xenopus oocytes and studied under ...

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

open access: yes, 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 enzymes on extracellular vesicles: immune modulation on the go

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
An increase in the extracellular concentration of ATP as a consequence of cellular stress or cell death results in the activation of immune cells. To prevent inflammation, extracellular ATP is rapidly metabolized to adenosine, which deploys an anti ...

Astrocytic Receptor Systems of the Basal Ganglia

open access: yesReceptors
Astrocytes are increasingly recognized as active participants of synaptic communication, yet their role in the basal ganglia circuitry remains poorly defined.

Antidipsogenic effects of central adenosine-5'-triphosphate

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2009
Besides other physiological functions, adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) is also a neurotransmitter that acts on purinergic receptors. In spite of the presence of purinergic receptors in forebrain areas involved with fluid-electrolyte balance, the effect ...
