Purinergic Signalling and Neurological Diseases: An Update [PDF]
Purinergic signalling, i.e. ATP as an extracellular signalling molecule and cotransmitter in both peripheral and central neurons, is involved in the physiology of neurotransmission and neuromodulation.

The absence of adenosine receptor A2B on myeloid cells in Adora2B923f/f‐LysMCre mice resulted in systemic changes in myeloid and lymphoid cell populations during pregnancy. There was an increased expression of IL‐6 and a reduction of MDSC and uNK cells. However, there were only marginal differences in pregnancy outcomes.

NCI-H295R, a human adrenal cortex-derived cell line, expresses purinergic receptors linked to Ca²⁺-mobilization/influx and cortisol secretion. [PDF]
Purinergic receptor expression and involvement in steroidogenesis were examined in NCI-H295R (H295R), a human adrenal cortex cell line which expresses all the key enzymes necessary for steroidogenesis. mRNA/protein for multiple P1 (A(2A) and A(2B)), P2X (

Research progress of microglial surface receptors in perioperative neurocognitive disorders
Perioperative factors such as surgical trauma, anesthetic, and inflammatory factors act on microglia in the brain. The receptor on microglia is activated to promote or inhibit the occurrence of inflammatory reactions, which, in turn, induce or prevent the occurrence of perioperative neurocognitive disorder (PND).

Simultaneous quantification of 12 different nucleotides and nucleosides released from renal epithelium and in human urine samples using ion-pair reversed-phase HPLC [PDF]
Nucleotides and nucleosides are not only involved in cellular metabolism but also act extracellularly via P1 and P2 receptors, to elicit a wide variety of physiological and pathophysiological responses through paracrine and autocrine signalling pathways.

P2X7 expression patterns in the developing Fmr1‐knockout mouse hippocampus
Abstract Fragile‐X Syndrome (FXS) is the leading monogenetic cause of intellectual disability among children but remains without a cure. Using the Fmr1 KO mouse model of FXS, much work has been done to understand FXS hippocampus dysfunction. Purinergic signaling, where ATP and its metabolites are used as signaling molecules, participates in hippocampus

Short- and long-term (trophic) purinergic signalling [PDF]
There is long-term (trophic) purinergic signalling involving cell proliferation, differentiation, motility and death in the development and regeneration of most systems of the body, in addition to fast purinergic signalling in neurotransmission ...
