Sensory purinergic receptor P2X3 is elevated in burning mouth syndrome.
Recent studies show that P2X(3) may play a role in neuropathic pain, including orofacial pain. Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a chronic neuropathic pain condition affecting 0.6-12% of post-menopausal women in the Western world. This study evaluates, for the first time, P2X(3) immunoreactivity levels in lingual mucosa in BMS patients. Patients diagnosed with BMS (n=9) in accordance with Interna...
متن کاملP2X3 purinergic receptor overexpression is associated with poor recurrence-free survival in hepatocellular carcinoma patients
UNLABELLED P2 purinergic receptors are overexpressed in certain cancer tissues, but the pathophysiologic relevance of purinergic signaling in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unknown. To examine the role of P2 purinergic signaling in the pathogenesis of HCC and characterize extracellular nucleotide effects on HCC cell proliferation, two independent HCC patient cohorts were analyzed for P2...
متن کاملMechanisms underlying purinergic P2X3 receptor-mediated mechanical allodynia induced in diabetic rats
BACKGROUND Diabetic neuropathy is a common neuropathy associated with paresthaesia and pain. The mechanisms underlying the painful conditions are not well understood. The aim of this study is to investigate the participation of purinergic P2X3 receptors in painful diabetic neuropathy. RESULTS Diabetes was induced by an intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ). We showed that mechanic...
متن کاملPurinergic signaling in B cells.
Adenosine and adenosine triphosphate are involved in purinergic signaling which plays an important role in control of the immune system. Much data have been obtained regarding impact of purinergic signaling on dendritic cells, macrophages, monocytes and T lymphocytes, however less attention has been paid to purinergic regulation of B cells. This review summarizes present knowledge on ATP- and A...
متن کاملIn vitro and in vivo characterization of iris pigment epithelial cells cultured on amniotic membranes.
PURPOSE To determine whether human amniotic membranes (AMs) can induce human and rat iris pigment epithelial (IPE) cells grown on them to develop characteristics of RPE cells in situ better than IPE cells grown on plastic plates, and to determine whether subretinal transplantation of IPE cell sheets grown on AMs can protect photoreceptor cells in dystrophic Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) rats....
