Adenosine and acute low oxygen conditions suppress urinary bladder contractility through the activation of adenosine 2B receptors and large‐conductance calcium‐activated potassium channels

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 1, Page 379-394, 1 January 2026.
Abstract figure legend Detrusor smooth muscle surrounding the urinary bladder produces transient pressure events essential for sensing bladder fullness during the filling phase. We investigated the role of adenosine, a ubiquitous signalling molecule, in regulating bladder smooth muscle function.

P2X7 Receptor Mediated Increase In Cell Membrane Permeability

open access: yesAnkara Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Mecmuası, 2018
Purinergic receptors consist of two main families; P2X and P2Y. P2Y receptors are G protein coupled receptors (GPCR), whereas P2X receptors are non-selective cation channels. P2X7 receptors which is a member of P2X receptors, have been found myriad types

Purinergic signalling: past, present and future [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The discovery of non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic neurotransmission in the gut and bladder in the early 1960's is described as well as the identification of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) as a transmitter in these nerves in the early 1970's.

Dinucleoside polyphosphates : newly detected uraemic compounds with an impact on leucocyte oxidative burst [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background. Dinucleoside polyphosphates (NpnN) have pathophysiologic roles in cardiovascular disease and are newly detected uraemic retention solutes. They were retrieved in human plasma, tissues and cells.

Functional distribution of Ca2+-coupled P2 purinergic receptors among adrenergic and noradrenergic bovine adrenal chromaffin cells

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2007
Background Adrenal chromaffin cells mediate acute responses to stress through the release of epinephrine. Chromaffin cell function is regulated by several receptors, present both in adrenergic (AD) and noradrenergic (NA) cells.

Emerging key roles for P2X receptors in the kidney [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
P2X ionotropic non-selective cation channels are expressed throughout the kidney and are activated in a paracrine or autocrine manner following the binding of extracellular ATP and related extracellular nucleotides. Whilst there is a wealth of literature

mGluR1 receptors contribute to non-purinergic slow excitatory transmission to submucosal VIP neurons of guinea-pig ileum

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2009
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) immunoreactive secretomotor neurons in the submucous plexus are involved in mediating bacterial toxin-induced hypersecretion leading to diarrhoea.
