Purinergic signaling along the renal tubule: the current state of play.
نویسندگان
چکیده
ATP-sensitive P2 receptors have been described in all mammalian nephron segments. A reductionist approach has demonstrated purinergic control of renal transporters in cell lines and heterologous expression systems. This brief update focuses on what is known of these receptors in native nephron segments (excluding the glomerulus) and outlines recent advances and possible future directions.

Acute Toxicity of Onion Skin Quercetin and its Effect on Liver and Kidney of Mice
Quercetin is the most abundant flavonoid molecules, widely distributed in the plant kingdom and has a wide range of uses. The aim of the study was to determine the LD50 of onion skin quercetin (OSQ) and its effect on the liver and kidney of mice. The study consists of 2 phases. In phase 1, nine mice BALB/c were divided into three groups of three mice each. The mice in each group received OSQ at...
متن کاملAutocrine extracellular purinergic signaling in epithelial cells derived from polycystic kidneys.
ATP and its metabolites are potent autocrine agonists that act extracellularly within tissues to affect epithelial function. In polycystic kidneys, renal tubules become dilated and/or encapsulated as cysts, creating abnormal microenvironments for autocrine signaling. Previously, our laboratory has shown that high-nanomolar to micromolar quantities of ATP are released from cell monolayers in vit...
متن کاملActivation of P2Y receptors causes strong and persistent shrinkage of C11-MDCK renal epithelial cells.
Purinergic receptors activate diverse signaling cascades and regulate the activity of cell volume-sensitive ion transporters. However, the effects of ATP and other agonists of P2 receptors on cell volume dynamics are only scarcely studied. In the present work, we used the recently developed dual-image surface reconstruction technique to explore the influence of purinergic agonists on cell volum...
متن کاملIntraluminal autocrine purinergic signaling within cysts: implications for the progression of diseases that involve encapsulated cyst formation.
PURINERGIC LIGANDS ARE LOCAL mediators, autacoids, or paracrine factors (5, 7–10, 12, 16, 47–49, 51, 63, 70). The role of extracellular nucleotides and nucleosides in physiology and pathophysiology has been studied for decades (5, 7–10, 12, 16). However, it was slow to be appreciated because of trepidations with regard to the loss of ATP as an intracellular biochemical fuel (9, 12, 16). Before ...
متن کاملPurinergic control of apical plasma membrane PI(4,5)P2 levels sets ENaC activity in principal cells.
Activity of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) is limiting for Na(+) reabsorption at the distal nephron. Phosphoinositides, such as phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate [PI(4,5)P(2)] modulate the activity of this channel. Activation of purinergic receptors triggers multiple events, including activation of PKC and PLC, with the latter depleting plasma membrane PI(4,5)P(2). Here, we investigate...
