The lymphocytic ionotropic purinergic P2X receptors (P2X1R-P2X7R, or P2XRs) sense ATP released during cell damage-activation, thus regulating T-cell activation. We aim to define the role of P2XRs during islet allograft rejection and to establish a novel anti-P2XRs strategy to achieve long-term islet allograft function. Our data demonstrate that P2X1R and P2X7R are induced in islet allograft-inf...
BACKGROUND & AIMS Molecular mechanisms underlying the activated spinal microglia in association with the pain in chronic pancreatitis (CP) remain unknown. We tested whether P2X7R on spinal microglia mediates the pathogenesis of visceral pain using a CP rat model. METHODS The CP model was induced via intraductal injection of 2% trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid into male Sprague-Dawley rats. Hyper...
Parkinson's disease (PD) involves an initial loss of striatal dopaminergic terminals evolving into a degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN), which can be modeled by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) administration. Since ATP is a danger signal acting through its P2X7 receptors (P2X7R), we now tested if a blood-brain barrier-permeable P2X7R antagonist, Brilliant Blue G (BBG),...
The P2X7 receptor is a member of the P2X family of ligand-gated ion channels. A single-nucleotide polymorphism leading to a glutamine (Gln) by arginine (Arg) substitution at codon 460 of the purinergic P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) has been associated with mood disorders. No change in function (loss or gain) has been described for this SNP so far. Here we show that although the P2X7R-Gln460Arg variant ...
BACKGROUND This study was aimed at investigating the relation of P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) expression with the clinicopathological features of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) coexisting with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). METHODS We examined 170 patients (84, PTC with HT; 86, PTC without HT). P2X7R expression was examined by immunohistochemical methods. The staining intensity and patterns were e...
The aim of this study was to determine the association between P2X7R rs3751142 and CARD8 rs2043211 polymorphisms and gout susceptibility in male Korean subjects. This study enrolled a total of 242 male patients with gout and 280 healthy controls. The polymorphisms of two individual genes including rs3751142(C>A) in the P2X7R gene and rs2043211(A>T) in the CARD8 gene were assessed using Taq-Man ...
Pannexin1 (Panx1), an ortholog to invertebrate innexin gap junctions, has recently been proposed to be the pore induced by P2X7 receptor activation. We explored the pharmacological action of compounds known to block gap junctions on Panx1 channels activated by the P2X7R and the mechanisms involved in the interaction between these two proteins. Whole cell recordings revealed distinct P2X7R and P...
Human leukocytes express a receptor for extracellular nucleotides, named P2X7R, that in lymphocytes can either mediate cell death or proliferation, depending on the level of activation. The authors have investigated P2X7R expression and function in 21 patients affected by B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, 13 with an evolutive and 8 with an indolent variant of the disease. Resting cytoplasmic...

P2X7 is a bifunctional receptor (P2X7R) for extracellular ATP that, depending on the level of activation, forms a cation-selective channel or a large conductance nonselective pore. The P2X7R has a strong proapoptotic activity but can also support growth. Here, we describe the mechanism involved in growth stimulation. Transfection of P2X7R increases resting mitochondrial potential (delta psi(mt)...
