The role of P2X7 receptors in tissue fibrosis: a brief reviewPurinergic Signalling - Tập 11 Số 4 - Trang 435-440 - 2015
Gentile, Daniela, Natale, Mariarita, Lazzerini, Pietro Enea, Capecchi, Pier Leopoldo, Laghi-Pasini, Franco
Many previous studies have demonstrated that P2X7 receptors (P2X7Rs) have a pleiotropic function in different pathological conditions and could represent a novel target for the treatment of a range of diseases. In particular, recent studies have explored the role of P2X7R in fibrosis, the pathological outcome of most chronic inflammatory diseases. The aim of this review is to discuss the biologica...... hiện toàn bộ

Purinergic signaling in the battlefield of viral infectionsPurinergic Signalling - - Trang 1-16 - 2023
Nayara Carvalho-Barbosa, Julianna Dias Zeidler, Luiz Eduardo Baggio Savio, Robson Coutinho-Silva
Purinergic signaling has been associated with immune defenses against pathogens such as bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and viruses, acting as a sentinel system that signals to the cells when a threat is present. This review focuses on the roles of purinergic signaling and its therapeutic potential for viral infections. In this context, the purinergic system may play potent antiviral roles by boosting ...... hiện toàn bộ
Purinergic mechanisms in the control of gastrointestinal motilityPurinergic Signalling - Tập 4 - Trang 197-212 - 2007
J. C. Bornstein
For many years, ATP and adenosine have been implicated in movement regulation of the gastrointestinal tract. They act through three major receptor subtypes: adenosine or P1 receptors, P2X receptors and P2Y receptors. Each of these major receptor types can be subdivided into several different classes and is widely distributed amongst various neurons, muscle types, glia and interstitial cells that r...... hiện toàn bộ
P2Y12 receptors in platelets and other hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cellsPurinergic Signalling - Tập 8 - Trang 609-619 - 2012
Christian Gachet
The P2Y12 receptor is a Gi-coupled ADP receptor first described in blood platelets where it plays a central role in the complex processes of activation and aggregation. Platelet granules store important amounts of ADP which are released upon stimulation by interaction of platelets with the damaged vessel wall. Therefore, the P2Y12 receptor is a key player in primary hemostasis and in arterial thro...... hiện toàn bộ
Prenatal expression of purinergic receptor P2X3 in human dorsal root ganglionPurinergic Signalling - Tập 8 - Trang 245-254 - 2011
Aihua Pan, Haiping Wu, Ming Li, Dahua Lu, Xu He, Xinan Yi, Xiao-Xin Yan, Zhiyuan Li
The dorsal root ganglion (DRG) is consisted of neurons that relay multiple types of spinal sensory stimuli to the central nervous system. Several neuroactive molecules may be involved in sensory modulation especially pain processing at the DRG, including the purinergic receptor P2X3 and calcitonin-gene-related peptide (CGRP). P2X3 receptor has been considered a promising pharmaceutical target for ...... hiện toàn bộ
A novel definition and treatment of hyperinflammation in COVID-19 based on purinergic signallingPurinergic Signalling - Tập 18 - Trang 13-59 - 2021

Hyperinflammation plays an important role in severe and critical COVID-19. Using inconsistent criteria, many researchers define hyperinflammation as a form of very severe inflammation with cytokine storm. Therefore, COVID-19 patients are treated with anti-inflammatory drugs. These drugs appear to be less efficacious than expected and are sometimes accompanied by serious adverse effects. SARS-CoV-2...... hiện toàn bộ
