P2Y12 Purinergic Receptor and Brain Tumors: Implications on Glioma Microenvironment [PDF]
Gliomas are the most common malignant brain tumors in adults, characterized by a high proliferation and invasion. The tumor microenvironment is rich in growth-promoting signals and immunomodulatory pathways, which increase the tumor’s aggressiveness. In response to hypoxia and glioma therapy, the amounts of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine ...

ATP-related purinergic signaling via P2Y12 contributes to airway epithelial barrier integrity [PDF]
Background The airway epithelial barrier, which defends against external pathogens, is compromised in bronchial asthma. This study investigated the roles of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and specific purinergic receptors in airway epithelial barrier ...

G-protein coupled purinergic P2Y12 receptor interacts and internalizes TauRD-mediated by membrane-associated actin cytoskeleton remodeling in microglia [PDF]
In Alzheimer’s disease, the microtubule-associated protein, Tau misfolds to form aggregates and filaments in the intra- and extracellular region of neuronal cells. Microglial cells are the resident brain macrophage cells involved in constant surveillance

Increasing evidence suggests that immunometabolism has started to unveil the role of metabolism in shaping immune function and autoimmune diseases. In this study, our data show that purinergic receptor P2Y12 (P2RY12) is highly expressed in concanavalin A (ConA)-induced immune hepatitis mouse model and serves as a potential metabolic regulator in ...

Expression and Localization of Purinergic P2Y12 Receptor in Human Nasal Mucosa
Extracellular nucleotides such as ATP and UTP are released from essentially all cells, and they interact with cell surface P2 receptors to produce a broad range of physiological responses. P2Y12 receptor is the major platelet receptor that mediates ADP-induced aggregation, P2Y12 receptor inhibitors such as clopidogrel and prasugrel inhibit platelet ...

Purinergic-Mediated Calcium Signaling in Quiescent and Activated Hepatic Stellate Cells: Evidence That P2Y1 Receptor Delays Activation [PDF]
Hepatic stellate cells (HSC) play a crucial role in the fibrotic response of the liver when they transdifferentiate from quiescent cells (qHSC) to myofibroblast (MFB).

Protease-activated receptor-4 and purinergic receptor P2Y12 dimerize, co-internalize, and activate Akt signaling via endosomal recruitment of β-arrestin [PDF]
Vascular inflammation and thrombosis require the concerted actions of several different agonists, many of which act on G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). GPCR dimerization is a well-established phenomenon that can alter protomer function. In platelets and other cell types, protease-activated receptor-4 (PAR4) has been shown to dimerize with the ...

ATP is a cotransmitter released with other neurotransmitters from sympathetic nerves, where it stimulates purinergic receptors. Purinergic adenosine P1 receptors (coupled to Gi/o proteins) produce sympatho-inhibition in several autonomic effectors by prejunctional inhibition of neurotransmitter release.
