Acute retinal ganglion cell injury caused by intraocular pressure spikes is mediated by endogenous extracellular ATP.
Elevated intraocular pressure may lead to retinal ganglion cell injury and consequent visual deficits. Chronic intraocular pressure increase is a major risk factor for glaucoma, a leading blinding disease, and permanent visual deficits can also occur following acute pressure increments due to trauma, acute glaucoma or refractive surgery. How pressure affects retinal neurons is not firmly establ...
متن کاملMetabolism of pyrogallol to purpurogallin by human erythrocytic hemoglobin.
The aim of this study was to investigate the oxido-reductive reactions of human hemoglobin with pyrogallol and the metabolism of pyrogallol by the protein, which contains a protoporphyrin IX like cytochrome P-450. Pyrogallol, having three hydroxy groups at the adjacent positions in the benzene ring, oxidized human oxyhemoglobin to methemoglobin and reduced human methemoglobin to oxyhemoglobin. ...
متن کاملATP Release from Vascular Endothelia Occurs Across Cx43 Hemichannels and Is Attenuated during Hypoxia
BACKGROUND Extracellular ATP is an important signaling molecule for vascular adaptation to limited oxygen availability (hypoxia). Here, we pursued the contribution of vascular endothelia to extracellular ATP release under hypoxic conditions. METHODOLOGY, PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We gained first insight from studying ATP release from endothelia (HMEC-1) pre-exposed to hypoxia. Surprisingly, we found...
متن کاملAdenosine linking reduced O2 to arteriolar NO release in intestine is not formed from extracellular ATP.
We have previously reported that adenosine formed in response to reduced arteriolar and/or tissue PO(2) preserves endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthesis during sympathetic vasoconstriction in the rat intestine. To more precisely identify the site and mechanism of adenosine formation under these conditions, we tested the hypothesis that ATP released in response to reduced O(2) levels serves as ...
متن کاملThe P2X7-nonmuscle myosin membrane complex regulates phagocytosis of nonopsonized particles and bacteria by a pathway attenuated by extracellular ATP.
Phagocytosis of nonopsonized bacteria is central to innate immunity, but its regulation is less defined. We show that overexpression of the P2X(7) receptor greatly augments the phagocytosis of nonopsonized beads and heat-killed bacteria by transfected HEK-293 cells, whereas blocking P2X(7) expression by siRNA significantly reduces the phagocytic ability of human monocytic cells. An intact P2X(7...
