Involvement of P2Y₁, P2Y₆, A₁ and A_2A Receptors in the Purinergic Inhibition of NMDA-Evoked Noradrenaline Release in the Rat Brain Cortex

Cells, 2023
In the cerebral cortex, glutamate activates NMDA receptors (NMDARs), localized in noradrenergic neurons, inducing noradrenaline release that may have a permissive effect on glutamatergic transmission, and therefore, on the modulation of long-term ...

P2Y purinergic receptors: New targets for analgesic and antimigraine drugs [PDF]

Biochemical Pharmacology, 2013
Millions of individuals worldwide suffer from acute and, more severely, chronic pain conditions (e.g., neuropathic pain, and migraine). The latter bear tremendous personal, familial, and social costs, since sufferers and their relatives undergo a complete turnaround of their lives with the search of relief from pain becoming their pivotal thought ...

NCI-H295R, a human adrenal cortex-derived cell line, expresses purinergic receptors linked to Ca²⁺-mobilization/influx and cortisol secretion. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Purinergic receptor expression and involvement in steroidogenesis were examined in NCI-H295R (H295R), a human adrenal cortex cell line which expresses all the key enzymes necessary for steroidogenesis. mRNA/protein for multiple P1 (A(2A) and A(2B)), P2X (

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.

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?

Frontiers 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,

The relationship between P2X4 and P2X7: a physiologically important interaction? [PDF]

, 2013
Purinergic signaling within the kidney is becoming an important focus in the study of renal health and disease. The effectors of ATP signaling, the P2Y and P2X receptors, are expressed to varying extents in and along the nephron.

Identification of a P2Y-purinergic receptor that inhibits adenylyl cyclase.

The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 1993
Adenine nucleotides inhibited isoproterenol- and forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation in C6-2B rat glioma cells. Inhibition occurred in the presence of a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, and no effect of adenine nucleotides was observed in direct measurements of phosphodiesterase activity in intact cells.

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

ASN 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 ...
