Extracellular ATP induces albuminuria in pregnant rats.
BACKGROUND As circulating plasma ATP concentrations are increased in pre-eclampsia, we tested whether increased plasma ATP is able to induce albuminuria during pregnancy. METHODS Pregnant (day 14) and non-pregnant rats were infused with ATP (3000 microg/kg bw) via a permanent jugular vein cannula. Albuminuria was determined, and blood samples were taken for leukocyte counts, plasma ATP and pl...
متن کاملExtracellular ATP induces nitric oxide production in tomato cell suspensions.
In plant as well as in animal systems, extracellular ATP (eATP) regulates a broad range of physiological processes. In animals, downstream signaling events regulated by eATP have been described before. Among the second messengers reported to be involved in eATP signaling, there are inositol phosphates, Ca, cAMP, and nitric oxide (NO; Abbracchio and Burnstock, 1998; Shen et al., 2005), but in pl...
متن کاملActivation of retinal glial (Müller) cells by extracellular ATP induces pronounced increases in extracellular H+ flux
Small alterations in extracellular acidity are potentially important modulators of neuronal signaling within the vertebrate retina. Here we report a novel extracellular acidification mechanism mediated by glial cells in the retina. Using self-referencing H+-selective microelectrodes to measure extracellular H+ fluxes, we show that activation of retinal Müller (glial) cells of the tiger salamand...
متن کاملExtracellular ATP signaling in plants.
Extracellular adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) induces a number of cellular responses in plants and animals. Some of the molecular components for purinergic signaling in animal cells appear to be lacking in plant cells, although some cellular responses are similar in both systems [e.g. increased levels of cytosolic free calcium, nitric oxide (NO), and reactive oxygen species (ROS)]. The purpose ...
متن کاملPolyclonal Antibody against Different Extracellular Subdomains of HER2 Induces Tumor Growth Inhibition in vitro
Background: Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) has a crucial role in several malignancies. The extracellular domain of HER2 (HER2-ECD) has been extensively employed as an important target in passive and active immunotherapy. Isolated recombinant prokaryotic HER2-ECD subdomains were previously found to be ineffective in inducing anti-tumor antibody response. Objective: To employ rec...
