  • Introduction: P2 Receptors
    Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry 2004, 4, 793-803 793 Introduction: P2 Receptors Geoffrey Burnstock* Autonomic Neuroscience Institute, Royal Free and University College, London NW3 2PF, U.K. Abstract: 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. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND It is widely recognised that purinergic signalling is a primitive system [19] involved in many non-neuronal as well The first paper describing the potent actions of adenine as neuronal mechanisms and in both short-term and long- compounds was published by Drury & Szent-Györgyi in term (trophic) events [20], including exocrine and endocrine 1929 [1]. Many years later, ATP was proposed as the secretion, immune responses, inflammation, pain, platelet transmitter responsible for non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic aggregation, endothelial-mediated vasodilatation, cell proli- transmission in the gut and bladder and the term ‘purinergic’ feration and death [8, 21-23]. introduced by Burnstock [2]. Early resistance to this concept appeared to stem from the fact that ATP was recognized first P2X Receptors for its important intracellular roles and the intuitive feeling was that such a ubiquitous and simple compound was Members of the existing family of ionotropic P2X1-7 unlikely to be utilized as an extracellular messenger.

Upon activation by cell-damaging factors, they get transformed into an amoeboid phenotype releasing various cell products including pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, proteases, reactive oxygen/nitrogen species, and the excytotoxic ATP and glutamate. In addition, they engulf pathogenic bacteria or cell debris and phagocytose them. However, already resting/surveying microglia have a number of important physiological functions in the CNS; for example, they shield small disruptions of the blood–brain barrier by their processes, dynamically interact with synaptic structures, and clear surplus synapses during development. In neurodegenerative illnesses, they aggravate the original disease by a microglia-based compulsory neuroinflammatory reaction.

  • Purinergic Receptors Brian F
    Chapter 21 Purinergic receptors Brian F. King and Geoffrey Burnstock 21.1 Introduction The term purinergic receptor (or purinoceptor) was first introduced to describe classes of membrane receptors that, when activated by either neurally released ATP (P2 purinoceptor) or its breakdown product adenosine (P1 purinoceptor), mediated relaxation of gut smooth muscle (Burnstock 1972, 1978). P2 purinoceptors were further divided into five broad phenotypes (P2X, P2Y, P2Z, P2U, and P2T) according to pharmacological profile and tissue distribution (Burnstock and Kennedy 1985; Gordon 1986; O’Connor et al. 1991; Dubyak 1991). Thereafter, they were reorganized into families of metabotropic ATP receptors (P2Y, P2U, and P2T) and ionotropic ATP receptors (P2X and P2Z) (Dubyak and El-Moatassim 1993), later redefined as extended P2Y and P2X families (Abbracchio and Burnstock 1994). In the early 1990s, cDNAs were isolated for three heptahelical proteins—called P2Y1, P2Y2, and P2Y3—with structural similarities to the rhodopsin GPCR template. At first, these three GPCRs were believed to correspond to the P2Y, P2U, and P2T receptors. However, the com- plexity of the P2Y receptor family was underestimated. At least 15, possibly 16, heptahelical proteins have been associated with the P2Y receptor family (King et al. 2001, see Table 21.1). Multiple expression of P2Y receptors is considered the norm in all tissues (Ralevic and Burnstock 1998) and mixtures of P2 purinoceptors have been reported in central neurones (Chessell et al. 1997) and glia (King et al. 1996). The situation is compounded by P2Y protein dimerization to generate receptor assemblies with subtly distinct pharmacological proper- ties from their constituent components (Filippov et al.

  • Glutamatergic and Purinergic Receptor-Mediated Calcium Transients in Bergmann Glial Cells

BGs also express Ca 2ϩ permeable AMPA receptors that may be important for maintaining the extensive coverage of Purkinje cell (PC) excitatory synapses by BG processes. Here, we examined Ca 2ϩ signals in single BGs evoked by synaptic activity in cerebellar slices. Short bursts of high-frequency stimulation of the ML elicited Ca 2ϩ transients composed of a small-amplitude fast rising phase, followed by a larger and slower rising phase. The first phase resulted from Ca 2ϩ influx through AMPA receptors, whereas the second phase required release of Ca 2ϩ from internal stores initiated by P2 purinergic receptor activation. We found that such Ca 2ϩ responses could be evoked by direct activation of neurons releasing ATP onto BGs or after activation of metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 on these neurons. Moreover, examination of BG and PC responses to various synaptic stimulation protocols suggested that ML interneurons are likely the cellular source of ATP.

The orange labeled probe spans P2RY8 and extends distally, the green labeled probe covers the 5´end of P2RY8 and extends proximally. Clinical Details Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy in children (prevalence of approximately 1:1500). Children with Down syndrome have a 10- to 20- fold increased risk of developing acute leukemia. B-Cell dependent BCR-ABL1-like ALL, also known as Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-like ALL, is a high-risk subset with a gene expression profile that shares significant overlap with that of Ph-positive (Ph+) ALL, but lacking the BCR-ABL1 fusion. In 2017, the WHO recognized BCR-ABL1-like ALL as new entity. Chromosomal rearrangements resulting in the overexpression of cytokine receptor like factor 2 (CRLF2) can be found in up to 50% of BCR-ABL1-like ALL cases.

  • The P2Y12 Receptor Regulates Microglial Activation by Extracellular Nucleotides
    ARTICLES The P2Y12 receptor regulates microglial activation by extracellular nucleotides Sharon E Haynes1, Gunther Hollopeter1,4, Guang Yang2, Dana Kurpius3, Michael E Dailey3, Wen-Biao Gan2 & David Julius1 Microglia are primary immune sentinels of the CNS. Following injury, these cells migrate or extend processes toward sites of tissue damage. CNS injury is accompanied by release of nucleotides, serving as signals for microglial activation or chemotaxis. Microglia express several purinoceptors, including a Gi-coupled subtype that has been implicated in ATP- and ADP-mediated migration in vitro. Here we show that microglia from mice lacking Gi-coupled P2Y12 receptors exhibit normal baseline motility but are unable to polarize, migrate or extend processes toward nucleotides in vitro or in vivo. Microglia in P2ry12–/– mice show significantly diminished directional branch extension toward sites of cortical damage in the living mouse. Moreover, P2Y12 http://www.nature.com/natureneuroscience expression is robust in the ‘resting’ state, but dramatically reduced after microglial activation. These results imply that P2Y12 is a primary site at which nucleotides act to induce microglial chemotaxis at early stages of the response to local CNS injury. In the spinal cord and brain, microglia migrate or project cellular candidate for mediating morphological responses of microglia to processes toward sites of mechanical injury or tissue damage1–3,where extracellular nucleotides. 4,5 they clear debris and release neurotrophic or neurotoxic agents .As The P2Y12 receptor was initially identified on platelets, where it such, microglial activation, or lack thereof, has been proposed to regulates their conversion from the inactive to active state during the influence degenerative and regenerative processes in the brain and clotting process12,14,15.

    24 The Open Neuroscience Journal, 2010, 4, 24-30 Open Access Purinergic Signalling in the CNS Geoffrey Burnstock* Autonomic Neuroscience Centre, University College Medical School, Rowland Hill Street, London NW3 2PF, UK Abstract: Purinergic neurotransmission, involving release of ATP as an efferent neurotransmitter was first proposed in 1972. Later it was recognised as a cotransmitter in peripheral nerves and more recently as a cotransmitter with glutamate, noradrenaline, GABA, acetylcholine and dopamine in the CNS. Both ion channel and G protein-coupled receptors for purines and pyrimidines are widely expressed in the brain and spinal cord. They mediate both fast signalling in neuro- transmission and neuromodulation and long-term (trophic) signalling in cell proliferation, differentiation and death. Purinergic signalling is prominent in neuron-glial cell interactions. Purinergic signalling has been implicated in learning and memory, locomotor activity and feeding behaviour. There is increasing interest in the involvement of purinergic sig- nalling in the pathophysiology of the CNS, including trauma, ischaemia, epilepsy, neurodegenerative diseases, neuropsy- chiatric and mood disorders.

Abstract Hearing loss is the most common form of sensorineural impairment, affecting 5.3% of the worldwide human population. Whereas 1 in 500 children is born with hearing disorders, sudden or progressive forms of hearing loss can appear at adult age. However, the physiological and molecular mechanisms involved in this pathological process remain unclear. Interestingly, an increasing number of studies have demonstrated that purinergic receptors could play a key role on hearing disorders and auditory pathway dysfunctions. This mini review summarizes the current data suggesting a key role of purinergic signaling in cochlear hair cell functions and their involvement in progressive hearing loss. Taken together, these studies provide new knowledge in the biochemical and physiological mechanism of purinergic receptors in cochlear cell functions and open the door for the development of new drugs candidates involved in hearing loss treatment.
