Purinergic Signaling in Health and Disease
Adenosine 5’-triphosphate (ATP) is one of the most abundant molecule in living cells serving as universal energy “currency.” After slow acceptance of the concept of the release and extracellular action of ATP, purinergic signaling is recognized as a ...

Purinergic signaling in atherosclerosis
Cell surface expression of specific receptors and ectonucleotidases makes extracellular nucleotides such as ATP, ADP, UTP, and adenosine suitable as signaling molecules for physiological and pathological events, including tissue stress and damage. Recent

Purinergic signaling, DAMPs, and inflammation
Danger sensing is one of the most fundamental evolutionary features enabling multicellular organisms to perceive potential threats, escape from risky situations, fight actual intruders, and repair damage.

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.

Experimental documentation of presence of purinergic receptors at human atria.
Our experimental data suggest the likelihood that there is a purinergic inhibition on human atria; it appears that inhibition is mediated via P1/Ri (A-1/Ri) and P-2 receptors.

The concept of purinergic neurotransmission was proposed in 1972, after it was shown that adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) was a transmitter in non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic inhibitory nerves in the guinea pig taenia coli.

Post-weaning social isolation impairs purinergic signaling in rat brain.
Early life stressors, such as social isolation (SI), can disrupt brain development contributing to behavioral and neurochemical alterations in adulthood.

Expression and distribution of ectonucleotidases in mouse urinary bladder.
BackgroundNormal urinary bladder function requires bidirectional molecular communication between urothelium, detrusor smooth muscle and sensory neurons and one of the key mediators involved in this intercellular signaling is ATP.

Pro- and anti-inflammatory macrophages express a sub-type specific purinergic receptor profile
Extracellular nucleotides act as danger signals that orchestrate inflammation by purinergic receptor activation. The expression pattern of different purinergic receptors may correlate with a pro- or anti-inflammatory phenotype.

The purinergic system in allotransplantation
The purine nucleotide adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a universal source of energy for any intracellular reaction. Under specific physiological or pathological conditions, ATP can be released into extracellular spaces, where it binds and activates the ...
