Systematic analyses of the sequence conservation and ligand interaction patterns of purinergic P1 and P2Y receptors provide a structural basis for receptor selectivity

open access: yesComputational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2023
Purinergic receptors are membrane proteins that regulate numerous cellular functions by catalyzing reactions involving purine nucleotides or nucleosides.

Purinergic Signaling and Aminoglycoside Ototoxicity: The Opposing Roles of P1 (Adenosine) and P2 (ATP) Receptors on Cochlear Hair Cell Survival [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
Purinergic signaling regulates important physiological processes and the homeostatic response to stress in the cochlea via extracellular nucleosides (adenosine) and nucleotides (ATP, UTP).

Prenatal exposure to valproic acid induces alterations in the expression and activity of purinergic receptors in the embryonic rat brain

open access: yesFolia Neuropathologica, 2022
Purinergic signalling is involved in the control of several processes related to brain development, such as neurogenesis and gliogenesis, migration and differentiation of neuronal precursors, synaptogenesis and synaptic elimination to achieve a fully ...

Mitogenic signaling from P1 and P2 purinergic receptors to mitogen-activated protein kinase in human fetal astrocyte cultures

open access: yesNeuroscience Letters, 1998
To investigate potential trophic actions of extracellular ATP in human astrocytes, we have examined mitogenic signaling by purinergic receptors in cultures prepared from first trimester rostral central nervous system tissue. We found that ATP and ATPgammaS, a hydrolysis-resistant analog, stimulated DNA synthesis, thereby indicating that P2 purinergic ...

Biology of Platelet Purinergic Receptors and Implications for Platelet Heterogeneity [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
Platelets are small anucleated cells present only in mammals. Platelets mediate intravascular hemostatic balance, prevent interstitial bleeding, and have a major role in thrombosis.

Purinergic signalling: past, present and future [PDF]

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2009
The discovery of non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic neurotransmission in the gut and bladder in the early 1960's is described as well as the identification of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) as a transmitter in these nerves in the early 1970's.

Purinergic signaling and cholangiocyte regeneration: a new frontier in ischemic liver injury [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Transplantation
Cholangiocytes—the epithelial cells lining the biliary tree—are especially vulnerable to ischemic injury, particularly in the setting of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). This susceptibility stems from their reliance on an arterial blood supply and

Alzheimer and Purinergic Signaling: Just a Matter of Inflammation?

open access: yesCells, 2021
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a widespread neurodegenerative pathology responsible for about 70% of all cases of dementia. Adenosine is an endogenous nucleoside that affects neurodegeneration by activating four membrane G protein-coupled receptor subtypes,

Purinergic Receptors in Adipose Tissue As Potential Targets in Metabolic Disorders [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2017
Extracellular nucleosides and nucleotides, such as adenosine and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), are involved in many physiological and pathological processes in adipose tissue (AT).
