The trafficking and targeting of P2X receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The functional expression of P2X receptors at the plasma membrane is dependent on their trafficking along secretory and endocytic pathways. There are seven P2X receptor subunits, and these differ in their subcellular distributions because they have very ...

Remodeling of purinergic receptor-mediated Ca2+ signaling as a consequence of EGF-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition in breast cancer cells.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundThe microenvironment plays a pivotal role in tumor cell proliferation, survival and migration. Invasive cancer cells face a new set of environmental challenges as they breach the basement membrane and colonize distant organs during the process ...

Ontogeny of purinergic receptor-regulated Ca2+ signaling in mouse cortical collecting duct epithelium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Changes in ATP-induced increase in {[}Ca2+], during collecting duct ontogeny were studied in primary monolayer cultures of mouse ureteric bud (UB) and cortical collecting duct (CCD) cells by Fura-PE3 fluorescence ratio imaging.

Purinergic Receptors in Adipose Tissue As Potential Targets in Metabolic Disorders

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2017
Extracellular nucleosides and nucleotides, such as adenosine and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), are involved in many physiological and pathological processes in adipose tissue (AT).

Microglial- and Astrocyte-Specific Expression of Purinergic Signaling Components and Inflammatory Mediators in the Rat Hippocampus During Trimethyltin-Induced Neurodegeneration

open access: yesASN Neuro, 2021
The present study examined the involvement of purinergic signaling components in the rat model of hippocampal degeneration induced by trimethyltin (TMT) intoxication (8 mg/kg, single intraperitoneal injection), which results in behavioral and ...

Variability in P2X receptor composition in human taste nerves: implications for treatment of chronic cough

open access: yesERJ Open Research, 2023
Background Antagonists to the P2X purinergic receptors on airway sensory nerves relieve refractory or unexplained chronic cough (RCC/UCC) but can evoke unwanted dysgeusias because the gustatory nerves innervating taste buds express this same family of ...

Extracellular ATP drives systemic inflammation, tissue damage and mortality [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Systemic inflammatory response syndromes (SIRS) may be caused by both infectious and sterile insults, such as trauma, ischemia-reperfusion or burns. They are characterized by early excessive inflammatory cytokine production and the endogenous release of ...

Ionotropic P2X ATP Receptor Channels Mediate Purinergic Signaling in Mouse Odontoblasts [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2017
ATP modulates various functions in the dental pulp cells, such as intercellular communication and neurotransmission between odontoblasts and neurons, proliferation of dental pulp cells, and odontoblast differentiation. However, functional expression patterns and their biophysical properties of ionotropic ATP (P2X) receptors (P2X1-P2X7) in odontoblasts ...

A P2X receptor from the tardigrade species Hypsibius dujardini with fast kinetics and sensitivity to zinc and copper

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009
Background Orthologs of the vertebrate ATP gated P2X channels have been identified in Dictyostelium and green algae, demonstrating that the emergence of ionotropic purinergic signalling was an early event in eukaryotic evolution.
