Purinergic signalling: past, present and future [PDF]

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2009
The discovery of non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic neurotransmission in the gut and bladder in the early 1960's is described as well as the identification of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) as a transmitter in these nerves in the early 1970's.

Purinergic P2 Receptors: Novel Mediators of Mechanotransduction

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Mechanosensing and mechanotransduction are vital processes in mechanobiology and play critical roles in regulating cellular behavior and fate. There is increasing evidence that purinergic P2 receptors, members of the purinergic family, play a crucial ...

Identification of atropine-and P2X1 receptor antagonist-reistant, neurogenic contractions of the urinary bladder [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Acetylcholine and ATP are excitatory cotransmitters in parasympathetic nerves. We used P2X1 receptor antagonists to further characterize the purinergic component of neurotransmission in isolated detrusor muscle of guinea pig urinary bladder.

Traditional Chinese medicine alleviating neuropathic pain targeting purinergic receptor P2 in purinergic signaling: A review

open access: yesBrain Research Bulletin, 2023
Past studies have suggested that Chinese herbal may alleviate neuropathic pain, and the mechanism might target the inhibition of purinergic receptor P2.

P2-type purinergic signaling in the regulation of pancreatic β-cell functional plasticity as a promising novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of type 2 diabetes?

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by a chronic hyperglycemia due to an impaired insulin secretion and a decreased in peripheral insulin sensitivity. This disease is a major public health problem due to it sharp prevalence. Therefore,

Multiple P2Y receptors couple to calcium-dependent, chloride channels in smooth muscle cells of the rat pulmonary artery [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Uridine 5'-triphosphate (UTP) and uridine 5'-diphosphate (UDP) act via P2Y receptors to evoke contraction of rat pulmonary arteries, whilst adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) acts via P2X and P2Y receptors.

Purinergic Signaling in Spermatogenesis

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) serves as the essential source of cellular energy. Over the last two decades, however, ATP has also attracted increasing interest as an extracellular signal that activates purinergic plasma membrane receptors of the P2 family.

A Systematic Review of the Expression, Signalling and Function of P2 Receptors in Primary Bone Cancer

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2022
Primary bone cancers are rare malignant diseases with significant morbidity and mortality. The treatment regimen relies on a combination of surgery (often involving amputation), chemotherapy and radiotherapy with outcomes dependent on localization of the
