Purinergic Regulation of Neutrophil Function
Purinergic signaling, which utilizes nucleotides (particularly ATP) and adenosine as transmitter molecules, plays an essential role in immune system. In the extracellular compartment, ATP predominantly functions as a pro-inflammatory molecule through activation of P2 receptors, whereas adenosine mostly functions as an anti-inflammatory molecule through activation of P1 receptors. Neutrophils ar...
متن کاملPurinergic regulation of glomerular microvasculature and tubular function.
Purinergic molecules: ATP, ADP and adenosine regulate physiological processes through activation of purinoceptors in the plasma membrane. Experimental evidence supports the view that purinergic molecules affect glomerular and tubular functions. Purinergic molecule-induced changes of tension of mesangial cells and/or podocytes may influence GFR by affecting the glomerular ultrafiltration coeffic...
متن کاملChemokine regulation of neutrophil function in surgical inflammation.
BACKGROUND Morbidity and even mortality correlate closely with major injury that causes a systemic inflammatory response. Cytokines and bioactive molecules present at the inflammatory site induce this response and regulate neutrophil proinflammatory responses. The CXC chemokines, important for neutrophil recruitment and activation, include interleukin 8 (IL-8), granulocyte chemotactic protein 2...
متن کاملPurinergic regulation of the epithelial Na+ channel.
1. The epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC) is a major conductive pathway that transports Na(+) across the apical membrane of the distal nephron, the respiratory tract, the distal colon and the ducts of exocrine glands. The ENaC is regulated by hormonal and humoral factors, including extracellular nucleotides that are available from the epithelial cells themselves. 2. Extracellular nucleotides, via ...
متن کاملPurinergic regulation of vascular tone and remodelling.
1 Purinergic signalling is involved both in short-term control of vascular tone and in longer-term control of cell proliferation, migration and death involved in vascular remodelling. 2 There is dual control of vascular tone by adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) released from perivascular nerves and by ATP released from endothelial cells in response to changes in blood flow (shear stress) and hypo...
