NCI-H295R, a human adrenal cortex-derived cell line, expresses purinergic receptors linked to Ca²⁺-mobilization/influx and cortisol secretion. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
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 (

The epithelial barrier theory proposes a comprehensive explanation for the origins of allergic and other chronic noncommunicable diseases

FEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 22, Page 3208-3243, November 2025.
Exposure to common noxious agents (1), including allergens, pollutants, and micro‐nanoplastics, can cause epithelial barrier damage (2) in our body's protective linings. This may trigger an immune response to our microbiome (3). The epithelial barrier theory explains how this process can lead to chronic noncommunicable diseases (4) affecting organs ...

The Purinome and the preBötzinger Complex – A Ménage of Unexplored Mechanisms That May Modulate/Shape the Hypoxic Ventilatory Response

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
Exploration of purinergic signaling in brainstem homeostatic control processes is challenging the traditional view that the biphasic hypoxic ventilatory response, which comprises a rapid initial increase in breathing followed by a slower secondary ...

Comprehensive Genome‐Wide Analysis of Shared Genetic Factors in Gastrointestinal and Neurodegenerative Diseases

Brain and Behavior, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
GI and ND GWAS and blood eQTL data were analyzed using LDSC, HDL, LAVA, GPA, PLACO, FUMA, MAGMA, SMR, HEIDI, and two‐sample MR to assess genetic correlations, pleiotropy, functional annotation, shared gene expression, and causal relationships. ABSTRACT Background This study investigates the shared genetic basis between gastrointestinal (GI) diseases ...

The NLRP3 inflammasome is activated by nanoparticles through ATP, ADP and adenosine.

, 2015
International audienceThe NLR pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a major component of the innate immune system, but its mechanism of activation by a wide range of molecules remains largely unknown.

Purinergic receptor mediated calcium signalling in urothelial cells [PDF]

, 2019
Non-neuronal ATP released from the urothelium in response to bladder stretch is a key modulator of bladder mechanosensation. Whilst non-neuronal ATP acts on the underlying bladder afferent nerves to facilitate sensation, there is also the potential for ...

Adrenergic Control of P2Y6 Receptor‐Dependent Phagocytosis in Rodent and Human Microglia

Glia, Volume 73, Issue 10, Page 2025-2034, October 2025.
Main Points Adrenergic signaling through ADRB2 modulates phagocytosis in microglia Crosstalk between ADRB2 and P2Y6 receptors conserved in rodent and human microglia ADRB2 activation inhibits both P2Y6 function and gene expression ABSTRACT Microglia, the resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), are in constant survey of their ...
