Expression of P2 nucleotide receptors varies with age and sex in murine brain microglia
Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2009 Microglia are implicated in multiple neurodegenerative disorders, many of which display sexual dimorphisms and have symptom onsets at different ages. P2 purinergic receptors are critical for regulating various microglial functions, but little is known ...

Purinergic Signaling and Related Biomarkers in Depression
Brain Sciences, 2020 It is established that purinergic signaling can shape a wide range of physiological functions, including neurotransmission and neuromodulation. The purinergic system may play a role in the pathophysiology of mood disorders, influencing neurotransmitter ...

Exocytosis of ATP from astrocytes modulates phasic and tonic inhibition in the neocortex [PDF]
, 2014 Communication between neuronal and glial cells is important for many brain functions. Astrocytes can modulate synaptic strength via Ca2+-stimulated release of various gliotransmitters, including glutamate and ATP. A physiological role of ATP release from

The bumpy road of purinergic inhibitors to clinical application in immune-mediated diseases
Neural Regeneration ResearchPurinergic signaling plays important roles throughout the body in the regulation of organ functions during and following the disruption of homeostasis. This is also reflected by the widespread expression of two families of purinergic receptors (P1 and P2)

Role of Nucleotide P2 Receptors in the Immune System: Focus on Effector T Cells
CellsThe emergence of purinergic signaling has given ATP and other extracellular nucleotides a whole new perspective. This concept refers to the fact that extracellular nucleotides released by most cells act as signaling molecules via specific membrane ...

Biology of Platelet Purinergic Receptors and Implications for Platelet Heterogeneity
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2018 Platelets are small anucleated cells present only in mammals. Platelets mediate intravascular hemostatic balance, prevent interstitial bleeding, and have a major role in thrombosis.

Purinergic Signaling in Liver Pathophysiology
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021 Extracellular nucleosides and nucleotides activate a group of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) known as purinergic receptors, comprising adenosine and P2Y receptors. Furthermore, purinergic P2X ion channels are activated by ATP.

Purinergic signaling in the peripheral vestibular system [PDF]
, 2022 The inner ear comprises the cochlea and vestibular system, which detect sound and acceleration stimulation, respectively. The function of the inner ear is regulated by ion transport activity among sensory epithelial cells, neuronal cells, non-sensory ...

ATP drives eosinophil effector responses through P2 purinergic receptors
Allergology International, 2015 Background: Eosinophils recognize various stimuli, such as cytokines, chemokines, immunoglobulins, complement, and external pathogens, resulting in their accumulation in mucosal tissues and the progression of inflammation.
