Role of P1 purinergic receptors in myocardial ischemia sensory transduction [PDF]
To characterize the role that cardiac sensory P(1) purinergic (adenosine A(1) or A(2)) receptors play in transducing myocardial ischemia.Porcine nodose ganglion cardiac sensory neuron adenosine A(1) or A(2) receptor function was studied in situ during control states as well as in the presence of the peptides bradykinin and substance P or focal ...

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

Purinergic signaling in the male reproductive tract
Purinergic receptors are ubiquitously expressed throughout the body and they participate in the autocrine and paracrine regulation of cell function during normal physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

Purinergic Signaling in Neuroinflammation
It is currently apparent that extracellular ATP's physiological effect is mediated by its interaction with specific purinergic receptors. All purinergic receptors are divided into P1-purinoreceptors and P2-purinoreceptors. Each of the subtypes is divided

Purinergic signaling in the modulation of redox biology
Purinergic signaling is a cell communication pathway mediated by extracellular nucleotides and nucleosides. Tri- and diphosphonucleotides are released in physiological and pathological circumstances activating purinergic type 2 receptors (P2 receptors ...

Purinergic Signaling in the Pathophysiology and Treatment of Huntington’s Disease
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a devastating, progressive, and fatal neurodegenerative disorder inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. This condition is characterized by motor dysfunction (chorea in the early stage, followed by bradykinesia, dystonia ...

Altered purinergic signaling in uridine adenosine tetraphosphate-induced coronary relaxation in swine with metabolic derangement [PDF]
We previously demonstrated that uridine adenosine tetraphosphate (Up(4)A) induces potent and partially endothelium-dependent relaxation in the healthy porcine coronary microvasculature.

Purinergic signaling: A new front-line determinant of resistance and susceptibility in leishmaniasis
Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease that causes several clinical manifestations. Parasites of the genus Leishmania cause this disease. Spread across five continents, leishmaniasis is a particular public health problem in developing countries ...

The role of purinergic signaling in microglial responses
Microglia, the primary immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS), are key to the maintenance of homeostasis in the brain parenchyma. In the intact brain, microglia continuously survey the microenvironment with ramified processes.
