The Interplay of Endothelial P2Y Receptors in Cardiovascular Health: From Vascular Physiology to Pathology

open access: yes, 2022
The endothelium plays a key role in blood vessel health. At the interface of the blood, it releases several mediators that regulate local processes that protect against the development of cardiovascular disease.

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.

Nucleotide Metabolism in Health and Disease

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Nucleotide metabolism, including de novo synthesis, salvage pathways, and catabolism, when dysregulated contributes to cancer, immune disorders, metabolic and urological diseases, and radiation injury. Metabolites such as adenosine, cGAMP, NAD, and cAMP and enzymes like RNR are promising therapeutic targets and biomarkers.

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.

Light‐Activated Communication Between Synthetic and Living Cells via Photoresponsive Membranes

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 14, 29 July 2026.
Light‐triggered membrane rupture of SCs enables controlled release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and histamine, which activate purinergic and histaminergic signaling in HeLa cells, leading to intracellular Ca2+ mobilization. This biomimetic communication platform provides a simple strategy for engineering remotely controlled chemical signaling ...

Kinetics of Activation of Phospholipase C by P2Y Purinergic Receptor Agonists and Guanine Nucleotides

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1989
Membranes prepared from [3H]inositol-labeled turkey erythrocytes express a phospholipase C that is markedly stimulated by stable analogs of GTP (Harden, T. K., Stephens, L., Hawkins, P. T., and Downes, C. P. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 9057-9061).

Purinergic receptors expressed in human skeletal muscle fibres

open access: yes, 2011
Purinergic receptors are present in most tissues and thought to be involved in various signalling pathways, including neural signalling, cell metabolism and local regulation of the microcirculation in skeletal muscles. The present study aims to determine

Emerging Roles of Purinergic Signaling in Diabetes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Purinergic signaling accounts for a complex network of receptors and extracellular enzymes responsible for the generation, recognition and degradation of extracellular ATP and adenosine.

Purinergic signalling in bone

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2012
Purinergic signalling in bone was first proposed in the early 1990s with the observation that extracellular ATP could modulate events crucial to the normal functioning of bone cells.

Ectonucleotidases CD39 and CD73 expression levels are independent and inverse predictors of survival in muscle‐invasive bladder cancer

open access: yesThe Journal of Pathology: Clinical Research, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Abstract Bladder cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer‐related mortality worldwide. Long‐term survival is particularly poor in patients with muscle‐invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Modulation of purinergic signaling through the ectonucleotidases CD39 and CD73 has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy in cancer medicine.
