Introduction: P2 receptors.
نویسنده
چکیده
The current status of ligand gated ion channel P2X and G protein-coupled P2Y receptor subtypes is described. This is followed by a summary of what is known of the distribution and roles of these receptor subtypes. Potential therapeutic targets of purinoceptors are considered, including those involved in cardiovascular, nervous, respiratory, urinogenital, gastrointestinal, musculo-skeletal and special sensory diseases, as well as inflammation, cancer and diabetes. Lastly, there are some speculations about future developments in the purinergic signalling field.

P2: The Role of Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase on the Anti-Seizure Effects of 5-HT1A Receptors in Perforant Pathway Kindling Model in Rat
Neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) plays a role in synaptic potentiation and kindling process.The relationship between nNOS and 5-HT1A receptors also nearly has been specified. In this research,we investigate the role of nNOS on the anticonvulsant effect of 5-HT1A receptors. 24 male (280 ± 30 g) were randomly assigned to four groups (vehicle,NI,Way 100635 and NI + Way100635) (n = 6). ...
متن کاملPurinergic Signaling during Rat Embryonic Development
Adenosine 5’-triphosphate (ATP) has been shown to be an important extracellular signaling molecule that mediates various physiological activities via the P2 (P2X and P2Y) receptors. However, information on the expression patterns of the P2 receptors during mammalian embryogenesis is limited. We therefore examined the expression patterns of different P2 receptor subtypes in rat embryos. In the h...
متن کاملLeukocyte P2 receptors: a novel target for anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor therapy.
P2 receptors are a class of plasma membrane receptors ligated by extracellular nucleotides and expressed ubiquitously throughout the body. Two main families are known: P2X and P2Y. P2X are ligand (ATP)-gated channels, while P2Y are G-protein-coupled seven membrane-spanning receptors. The P2X and the P2Y subfamilies comprise seven and eight members, respectively. While ATP is the only known phys...
متن کاملP2X and P2Y receptor signaling in red blood cells
Purinergic signaling involves the activation of cell surface P1 and P2 receptors by extracellular nucleosides and nucleotides such as adenosine and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), respectively. P2 receptors comprise P2X and P2Y receptors, and have well-established roles in leukocyte and platelet biology. Emerging evidence indicates important roles for these receptors in red blood cells. P2 recept...
متن کاملThe regulation of bone cell function by extracellular nucleotides
Extracellular nucleotides, acting via P2 receptors, modulate bone remodelling by inhibiting osteoblast and stimulating osteoclast activity. The aim of this thesis was to investigate further the effects of extracellular nucleotides on bone cell function under both normal and stress situations. Nucleotide agonists were shown to evoke intracellular Ca2+ responses in rat osteoblasts from >0.2 |nM. ...
متن کاملP2 receptors in the regulation of renal transport mechanisms.
Extracellular nucleotides (e.g., ATP) regulate physiological and pathophysiological processes through activation of nucleotide P2 receptors in the plasma membrane. Examples include such diverse processes as communication from taste buds to gustatory nerves, platelet aggregation, nociception, or neutrophil chemotaxis. Over approximately the last 15 years, evidence has also accumulated that cells...
