Purinergic signalling plays a major role in intercellular communication between neurons and
glial cells. Glial cells express metabotropic receptors for ATP and adenosine, the latter being …

J. Neurochem.(2010) 113, 1676–1684. Abstract Purinergic signaling is critical for neuron‐
glia communication. Glial cells participate in synaptic transmission and express …

ATP plays an important role in signal transduction between neuronal and glial circuits and
within glial networks. Here we describe currents activated by ATP in astrocytes acutely …

P2X7 receptors have been suggested to be located both on neurons and astrocytes of the
central and peripheral nervous systems. In the present Ca 2+-imaging and patch-clamp …

Recent evidence suggested that ATP acting via ionotropic (P2X) and metabotropic (P2Y)
purinergic receptors might be involved in signaling between glial cells and within glial …

Whole-cell patch clamp recordings demonstrated that in the dentate gyrus (DG) as well as in
the CA3 area of mouse hippocampal slices the prototypic P2X7 receptor (R) agonist …

Background and purpose: P2X7 receptors are ATP‐gated cation channels mediating
important functions in microglial cells, such as the release of cytokines and phagocytosis …

ATP is an important neuronal and astroglial signaling molecule in the brain. In the present
study, brain slices were prepared from the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of Wistar rats and 2 lines …

Astrocytes express purinergic receptors that are involved in glial–neuronal cell
communication. Experiments were conducted to characterize the expression of functional …

In this study we revealed the participation of P2X 7 receptors in the modulation of electrical
stimulation and ATP-evoked GABA and glutamate release from mouse hippocampal slices …
