Modulation of Phagocytosis by P2-Purinergic Receptors in Mouse Peritoneal Macrophages.
The effects of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) and other nucleotides on phagocytosis of peritoneal macrophages were examined by means of flow cytometry (FCM). ATP and uridine 5'-triphosphate (UTP) enhanced phagocytosis in a dose-dependent manner. Control phagocytosis was partially suppressed in Ca(2+)-free solution.

P2 purinoceptors comprise ionotropic (P2X) and metabotropic (P2Y) receptor families, responsive to nucleotide ligands and diversely distributed on virtually every mammalian cell. Most cells and tissues co-express multiple subtypes of purinoceptor; thus,

Labeling and tracking P2 purinergic receptors in living cells using ATP-conjugated quantum dots
It has been increasingly recognized that adenosine-5 ′ -triphosphate (ATP) signaling through P2 purinergic receptors has a diverse infl uence on cell functions and human health.

Extracellular ATP and Cancer—An Overview with Special Reference to P2 Purinergic Receptors
Purinergic signal transduction mechanisms have been appreciated as a complex intercellular signalling network that plays an important regulatory role in both short- and long-term processes in practically every living cell. One of the most intriguing aspects of the field is the participation of ATP and other purine nucleotides in the determination of ...

Immune cells express receptors for extracellular nucleotides named P2 receptors. P2 receptors transduce signals delivered by nucleotides present in the extracellular environment. Accruing evidence shows that purinergic signalling has a profound effect on

An emerging role for adenosine and its receptors in bone homeostasis
Bone is continually being remodelled and defects in the processes involved lead to bone diseases. Many regulatory factors are known to influence remodelling but other mechanisms, hitherto unknown, may also be involved.

The P2X receptor mediated regulation of inhibitory synaptic transmission [PDF]
In the central nervous system ATP can be released by neurons and glial cells through similar pathways as other neurotransmitters. Extracellular ATP targets P2X purinoreceptors, causing an influx of Ca2+ ions which transmit very important messages for ...

P2 purinergic receptors and cellular calcium metabolism in A 431 human epidermoid carcinoma cells
Stimulation of P2 purinergic receptors on A 431 human epidermoid cells with ATP rapidly mobilized intracellular calcium and increased cytosolic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i).
