Expression of Purinergic and Endothelial Activation Markers in Brain Tissue From Fatal Microcephaly Associated With ZIKV. [PDF]
Immun Inflamm DisABSTRACT Background Zika virus (ZIKV) is a flavivirus that has gained global attention due to its association with congenital microcephaly and neuroinflammatory responses. Markers of endothelial activation and purinergic signaling have been identified in the context of ZIKV neuropathogenesis, although the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.

The FASEB Journal, 2012 Up4A is a potent endothelium‐derived contracting factor that contains purine and pyrimidine moieties and activates purinergic P2X and P2Y receptors. Up4A has recently been found to also have vasodilator effects. Here, we evaluated Up4A in isolated coronary small arteries from normal (N) swine and swine after myocardial infarction ...

Adenosine-mediated modulation of ventral horn interneurons and spinal motoneurons in neonatal mice [PDF]
, 2015 The authors are grateful for support from the Wellcome Trust.Neuromodulation allows neural networks to adapt to varying environmental and biomechanical demands. Purinergic signalling is known to be an important modulatory system in many parts of the CNS,

Hypoxia induces purinergic receptor signaling to disrupt endothelial barrier function
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Blood-brain-barrier permeability is regulated by endothelial junctional proteins and is vital in limiting access to and from the blood to the CNS. When stressed, several cells, including endothelial cells, can release nucleotides like ATP and ADP that ...

Purinergic Signalling: Therapeutic Developments
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2017 Purinergic signalling, i.e., the role of nucleotides as extracellular signalling molecules, was proposed in 1972. However, this concept was not well accepted until the early 1990’s when receptor subtypes for purines and pyrimidines were cloned and ...

Impact of sleep insufficiency and recovery on cancer development
Sleep Research, EarlyView.Abstract Sleep plays a critical role in overall health, and modern lifestyles, such as shift work and late‐night activities, can significantly impact sleep condition. Insufficient sleep has been associated with various adverse health outcomes, including an increased risk of tumor development.

Editorial: Purinergic pharmacology, Volume II [PDF]
, 2023 Extracellular purine nucleotides and nucleosides serve as crucial signalling molecules, acting as neurotransmitters and neuromodulators. Tightly regulated extracellular levels of adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine, which are controlled by ...

Adenosine—A Regulator of Human Testicular Peritubular Cells
Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Extracellular purines, in particular ATP and adenosine, are regulators of physiological and pathophysiological processes throughout the human body. Roles in the human testis are emerging and include actions on peritubular cells, which form the wall of seminiferous tubules.

Purinergic receptors in skeletal muscles in health and in muscular dystrophy [PDF]
, 2014 The P2 purinergic (nucleotide) receptor super-family comprises of two families of protein. The P2X, which are channel-forming ionotropic receptors and the P2Y metabotropic receptors activating G protein-mediated signalling pathways.
