Purinergic signaling: Diverse effects and therapeutic potential in cancer
Frontiers in Oncology, 2023 Regardless of improved biological insights and therapeutic advances, cancer is consuming multiple lives worldwide. Cancer is a complex disease with diverse cellular, metabolic, and physiological parameters as its hallmarks.

Activation and Regulation of Purinergic P2X Receptor Channels [PDF]
Pharmacological Reviews, 2011 Mammalian ATP-gated nonselective cation channels (P2XRs) can be composed of seven possible subunits, denoted P2X1 to P2X7. Each subunit contains a large ectodomain, two transmembrane domains, and intracellular N and C termini. Functional P2XRs are organized as homomeric and heteromeric trimers.

P2X4 assembles with P2X7 and pannexin-1 in gingival epithelial cells and modulates ATP-induced reactive oxygen species production and inflammasome activation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 We have previously reported that Porphyromonas gingivalis infection of gingival epithelial cells (GEC) requires an exogenous danger signal such as ATP to activate an inflammasome and caspase-1, thereby inducing secretion of interleukin (IL)-1β ...

Epithelial P2X purinergic receptor channel expression and function [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1999 P2X purinergic receptor (P2XR) channels bind ATP and mediate Ca(2+) influx--2 signals that stimulate secretory Cl(-) transport across epithelia. We tested the hypotheses that P2XR channels are expressed by epithelia and that P2XRs transduce extracellular ATP signals into stimulation of Cl(-) transport across epithelia.

Contribution of P2X purinergic receptor in cerebral ischemia injury
Brain Research Bulletin, 2022 The development of cerebral ischemia involves brain damage and abnormal changes in brain function, which can cause neurosensory and motor dysfunction, and bring serious consequences to patients. P2X purinergic receptors are expressed in nerve cells and immune cells, and are mainly expressed in microglia.

ATP signaling in the integrative neural center of Aplysia californica
Scientific Reports, 2021 ATP and its ionotropic P2X receptors are components of the most ancient signaling system. However, little is known about the distribution and function of purinergic transmission in invertebrates.

Purinergic signaling in the male reproductive tract
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Purinergic receptors are ubiquitously expressed throughout the body and they participate in the autocrine and paracrine regulation of cell function during normal physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

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