Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2024; 1870:166895. [PMID: 37748566 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2023.166895] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Revised: 09/05/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/27/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracellular adenosine triphosphate (eATP) is an important inflammatory mediator that can boost the antitumour immune response, but its role in endometriosis remains unknown. We hypothesized that eATP could inhibit endometriosis cell function both directly and indirectly through macrophages. METHODS Peritoneal and cyst fluid from endometriosis patients and non-endometriosis controls was collected to measure eATP levels. The addition of eATP was performed to explore its effects on endometriotic cell and macrophage functions, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, pyroptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential, phagocytosis, and the production of inflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygen species. A coculture of endometriotic epithelial cells and U937 macrophages was established, followed by P2X7 antagonist and eATP treatment. Endometriosis model eATP-treated rats were used to evaluate in situ cell death and macrophage marker expression. RESULTS The pelvic microenvironment of endometriosis patients shows high eATP levels, which could induce endometriotic epithelial cell apoptosis and pyroptosis and significantly inhibit cell growth via the MAPK/JNK/Akt pathway. eATP treatment ameliorated endometriosis-related macrophage dysfunction and promoted macrophage recruitment. eATP treatment in the presence of macrophages exerted a stronger cytotoxic effect on endometriotic epithelial cells by regulating P2X7. eATP treatment effectively induced cell death in an endometriosis rat model and prominently increased the macrophage number without affecting the eutopic endometrium. CONCLUSION eATP induces endometriotic epithelial cell death and enhances the immune function of macrophages to inhibit the progression of endometriosis, while eutopic endometrium is not affected. eATP treatment may serve as a nonhormonal therapeutic strategy for endometriosis.

Purinergic Signal 2023:10.1007/s11302-023-09966-7. [PMID: 37843749 DOI: 10.1007/s11302-023-09966-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2023] [Accepted: 09/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Nucleosides and purine nucleotides serve as transmitter and modulator agents that extend their functions beyond the cell. In this context, purinergic signaling plays a crucial role in regulating energy homeostasis and modulating metabolic alterations in tumor cells. Therefore, it is essential to consider the pharmacological targeting of purinergic receptors (PUR), which encompass the expression and inhibition of P1 receptors (metabotropic adenosine receptors) as well as P2 receptors (extracellular ATP/ADP) comprising P2X and P2Y receptors. Thus, the pharmacological interaction between inhibitors (such as RNA, monoclonal antibodies, and small molecules) and PUR represents a key aspect in facilitating the development of therapeutic interventions. Moreover, this review explores recent advancements in pharmacological inhibitors and the regulation of innate and adaptive immunity of PUR, specifically in relation to immunological and inflammatory responses. These responses encompass the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (PIC), the production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS), the regulation of T cells, and the activation of inflammasomes in all human leukocytes.

Abstract
Acetaminophen overdose is one of the leading causes of acute liver failure and liver transplantation in the Western world. Magnesium is essential in several cellular processess. The Cyclin M family is involved in magnesium transport across cell membranes. Herein, we identify that among all magnesium transporters, only Cyclin M4 expression is upregulated in the liver of patients with acetaminophen overdose, with disturbances in magnesium serum levels. In the liver, acetaminophen interferes with the mitochondrial magnesium reservoir via Cyclin M4, affecting ATP production and reactive oxygen species generation, further boosting endoplasmic reticulum stress. Importantly, Cyclin M4 mutant T495I, which impairs magnesium flux, shows no effect. Finally, an accumulation of Cyclin M4 in endoplasmic reticulum is shown under hepatoxicity. Based on our studies in mice, silencing hepatic Cyclin M4 within the window of 6 to 24 h following acetaminophen overdose ingestion may represent a therapeutic target for acetaminophen overdose induced liver injury.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC) is unclear, while genetic factors have been confirmed to play an important role in its development. P2RY13 is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCRs), which are involved in the pathogenesis of inflammation and immune disorders. According to GEO database analysis, we first observed that the expression of P2Y13 was increased in UC patients. Therefore, we sought to determine the role of P2Y13 in the development of colitis. Our data showed that P2RY13 was highly expressed in the inflamed intestinal tissues of UC patients. In mice, pharmacological antagonism of P2Y13 can significantly attenuate the intestinal mucosal barrier disruption. In LPS-induced NCM460 cell, knockdown or pharmacological inhibition of P2RY13 increased the expression of intestinal tight junction protein and reduced apoptosis. In addition, we found that the effect of P2Y13 on colitis is related to the activation of the IL-6/STAT3 pathway. Activation of P2Y13 increases IL-6 expression and promotes STAT3 phosphorylation and nuclear transport. Deletion of the STAT3 gene in the intestinal epithelial cells of mice significantly mitigated the exacerbation of colitis due to P2Y13 activation. Thus, P2Y13 can aggravate intestinal mucosal barrier destruction by activating the IL-6/STAT3 pathway. P2Y13 might be a potential drug target for UC.

Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:582. [PMID: 35631408 PMCID: PMC9143145 DOI: 10.3390/ph15050582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2022] [Revised: 04/27/2022] [Accepted: 04/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-conjugated biogenic selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) for P2 (purinoceptors) receptor-targeted anti-colon cancer activity were developed in this study. First, the SeNPs were synthesized using Trichoderma extracts (TE) and then conjugated with ATP to enhance their anticancer activity. The developed SeNPs had an oval crystalline structure with an average diameter size of 26.45 ± 1.71 d. nm, while the ATP-SeNPs were 78.6 ± 2.91 d. nm. The SeNPs contain Se, and less persistence of P while the ATP-SeNPs have high level of P, and Se in the energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Further, both nanoparticles exhibited larger sizes in the dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis than in the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. The DLS and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results provide evidence that the amine group (-NH2) of ATP might bind with the negatively charged SeNPs through covalent bonding. The IC50 concentration was 17.25 ± 1.16 µg/mL for ATP-SeNPs and 61.24 ± 2.08 µg/mL against the caco-2 cell line. The IC50 results evidenced the higher cytotoxicity of ATP-SeNPs in the caco-2 cell line than in HEK293 cells. ATP-SeNPs trigger the anticancer activity in the caco-2 cell line through the induction of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) loss and nucleus damage. The biocompatibility test of hemolysis and the egg CAM assay confirmed the non-toxicity of these nanoparticles. Overall, the results proved that the newly developed ATP-SeNPs exhibited higher cytotoxicity in the caco-2 cell line than SeNPs. However, further molecular and in vivo experiments are required to develop the ATP-SeNPs as a candidate drug for cancer-targeted therapeutics.

Abstract
P2Y purinoceptor 6 (P2RY6) is highly expressed in skin keratinocytes, but its function in skin diseases is unclear. We use two-step chemical induction method to induce mouse skin tumor formation. Multiple in vitro and in vivo assays were used to explore the role of P2RY6 in skin tumor. We report that P2ry6-deficient mice exhibit marked resistance to DMBA/TPA-induced skin papilloma formation compared with wild-type mice. Consistent with these findings, epidermal hyperplasia in response to TPA was suppressed in the P2ry6 knockout or MRS2578 (P2RY6 antagonist)-treated mice. The dramatic decrease in hyperplasia and tumorigenesis due to P2ry6 disruption was associated with the suppression of TPA-induced keratinocyte proliferation and inflammatory reactions. Notably, P2ry6 deletion prevented the TPA-induced increase in YAP nuclear accumulation and its downstream gene expression in an MST/LATS1-dependent manner. Upon TPA stimulation, enhanced activation of MEK1 and β-catenin were also impaired in P2ry6 knockout primary keratinocytes, tumor tissues or MRS2578-treated HaCaT cells. Moreover, mutual promotion of the YAP and β-catenin signaling pathways was observed in normal skin cells treated with TPA, while P2ry6 deletion could inhibit their crosstalk by regulating MEK1. Thus, P2RY6 is a critical positive regulator of skin tumorigenesis via modulation of the Hippo/YAP and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is a heterogeneous, slow growing asymptomatic cancer that predominantly affects man. A purinergic G-protein coupled receptor, P2Y1R, is targeted for its therapeutic value since it plays a crucial role in many key molecular events of cancer progression and invasion. Our previous study demonstrated that indoline derivative, 1 ((1-(2-Hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl) (4-hydroxyphenyl) methyl)indoline-4‑carbonitrile; HIC), stimulates prostate cancer cell (PCa) growth inhibition via P2Y1R. However, the mode of interaction of P2Y1R with HIC involved in this process remains unclear. Here, we have reported the molecular interactions of HIC with P2Y1R. Molecular dynamics simulation was performed that revealed the stable specific binding of the protein-ligand complex. In vitro analysis has shown increased apoptosis of PCa-cells, PC3, and DU145, upon specific interaction of P2Y1R-HIC. This was further validated using siRNA analysis that showed a higher percentage of apoptotic cells in PCa-cells transfected with P2Y-siRNA-MRS2365 than P2Y-siRNA-HIC treatment. Decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) activity and reduced glutathione (GSH) level show their role in P2Y1R-HIC mediated apoptosis. These in silico and in vitro results confirmed that HIC could induce mitochondrial apoptotic signaling through the P2Y1R activation. Thus, HIC being a potential ligand upon interaction with P2Y1R might have therapeutic value for the treatment of prostate cancer.

Expression Pattern of Purinergic Signaling Components in Colorectal Cancer Cells and Differential Cellular Outcomes Induced by Extracellular ATP and Adenosine. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222111472. [PMID: 34768902 PMCID: PMC8583864 DOI: 10.3390/ijms222111472] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2021] [Revised: 10/19/2021] [Accepted: 10/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
The purine nucleotide adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is known for its fundamental role in cellular bioenergetics. However, in the last decades, different works have described emerging functions for ATP, such as that of a danger signaling molecule acting in the extracellular space on both tumor and stromal compartments. Beside its role in immune cell signaling, several studies have shown that high concentrations of extracellular ATP can directly or indirectly act on cancer cells. Accordingly, it has been reported that purinergic receptors are widely expressed in tumor cells. However, their expression pattern is often associated with contradictory cellular outcomes. In this work, we first investigated gene expression profiles through "RNA-Sequencing" (RNA Seq) technology in four colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines (HT29, LS513, LS174T, HCT116). Our results demonstrate that CRC cells mostly express the A2B, P2X4, P2Y1, P2Y2 and P2Y11 purinergic receptors. Among these, the P2Y1 and P2Y2 coding genes are markedly overexpressed in all CRC cells compared to the HCEC-1CT normal-like colonic cells. We then explored the cellular outcomes induced by extracellular ATP and adenosine. Our results show that in terms of cell death induction extracellular ATP is consistently more active than adenosine against CRC, while neither compound affected normal-like colonic cell survival. Intriguingly, while for the P2Y2 receptor pharmacological inhibition completely abolished the rise in cytoplasmic Ca2+ observed after ATP exposure in all CRC cell lines, Ca2+ mobilization only impacted the cellular outcome for HT29. In contrast, non-selective phosphodiesterase inhibition completely abolished the effects of extracellular ATP on CRC cells, suggesting that cAMP and/or cGMP levels might determine cellular outcome. Altogether, our study provides novel insights into the characterization of purinergic signaling in CRC.

Abstract
Gliomas are the most common malignant brain tumors in adults, characterized by a high proliferation and invasion. The tumor microenvironment is rich in growth-promoting signals and immunomodulatory pathways, which increase the tumor's aggressiveness. In response to hypoxia and glioma therapy, the amounts of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) strongly increase in the extracellular space, and the purinergic signaling is triggered by nucleotides' interaction in P2 receptors. Several cell types are present in the tumor microenvironment and can facilitate tumor growth. In fact, tumor cells can activate platelets by the ADP-P2Y12 engagement, which plays an essential role in the cancer context, protecting tumors from the immune attack and providing molecules that contribute to the growth and maintenance of a rich environment to sustain the protumor cycle. Besides platelets, the P2Y12 receptor is expressed by some tumors, such as renal carcinoma, colon carcinoma, and gliomas, being related to tumor progression. In this context, this review aims to depict the glioma microenvironment, focusing on the relationship between platelets and tumor malignancy.

Abstract
G-protein-coupled receptors for extracellular nucleotides are known as P2Y receptors and are made up of eight members that are encoded by distinct genes and can be classified into two classes based on their affinity for specific G-proteins. P2Y receptor modulators have been studied extensively, but only a few small-molecule P2Y receptor antagonists have been discovered so far and approved by drug agencies. Derivatives of indole carboxamide have been identified as P2Y12 and P2X7 antagonist, as a result, we developed and tested a series of indole derivatives4a-lhaving thiourea moiety as P2Y receptor antagonist by using a fluorescence-based assay to measure the inhibition of intracellular calcium release in 1321N1 astrocytoma cells that had been stably transfected with the P2Y1, P2Y2, P2Y4 and P2Y6 receptors. Most of the compounds exhibited moderate to excellent inhibition activity against P2Y1 receptor subtype. The series most potent compound, 4h exhibited an IC50 value of 0.36 ± 0.01 µM selectivity against other subtypes of P2Y receptor. To investigate the ligand-receptor interactions, the molecular docking studies were carried out. Compound 4h is the most potent P2Y1 receptor antagonist due to interaction with an important amino acid residue Pro105, in addition to Ile108, Phe119, and Leu102.

Abstract
Cancer comprises a collection of diseases that occur in almost any tissue and it is characterized by an abnormal and uncontrolled cell growth that results in tumor formation and propagation to other tissues, causing tissue and organ malfunction and death. Despite the undeniable improvement in cancer diagnostics and therapy, there is an urgent need for new therapeutic and preventive strategies with improved efficacy and fewer side effects. In this context, purinergic signaling emerges as an interesting candidate as a cancer biomarker or therapeutic target. There is abundant evidence that tumor cells have significant changes in the expression of purinergic receptors, which comprise the G-protein coupled P2Y and AdoR families of receptors and the ligand-gated ion channel P2X receptors. Tumor cells also exhibit changes in the expression of nucleotidases and other enzymes involved in nucleotide metabolism, and the concentrations of extracellular nucleotides are significantly higher than those observed in normal cells. In this review, we will focus on the potential role of purinergic signaling in the ten most lethal cancers (lung, breast, colorectal, liver, stomach, prostate, cervical, esophagus, pancreas, and ovary), which together are responsible for more than 5 million annual deaths.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Perturbations of intracellular magnesium (Mg2+) homeostasis have implications for cell physiology. The cyclin M family, CNNM, perform key functions in the transport of Mg2+ across cell membranes. Herein, we aimed to elucidate the role of CNNM4 in the development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). METHODS Serum Mg2+ levels and hepatic CNNM4 expression were characterised in clinical samples. Primary hepatocytes were cultured under methionine and choline deprivation. A 0.1% methionine and choline-deficient diet, or a choline-deficient high-fat diet were used to induce NASH in our in vivo rodent models. Cnnm4 was silenced using siRNA, in vitro with DharmaFECT and in vivo with Invivofectamine® or conjugated to N-acetylgalactosamine. RESULTS Patients with NASH showed hepatic CNNM4 overexpression and dysregulated Mg2+ levels in the serum. Cnnm4 silencing ameliorated hepatic lipid accumulation, inflammation and fibrosis in the rodent NASH models. Mechanistically, CNNM4 knockdown in hepatocytes induced cellular Mg2+ accumulation, reduced endoplasmic reticulum stress, and increased microsomal triglyceride transfer activity, which promoted hepatic lipid clearance by increasing the secretion of VLDLs. CONCLUSIONS CNNM4 is overexpressed in patients with NASH and is responsible for dysregulated Mg2+ transport. Hepatic CNNM4 is a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of NASH. LAY SUMMARY Cyclin M4 (CNNM4) is overexpressed in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and promotes the export of magnesium from the liver. The liver-specific silencing of Cnnm4 ameliorates NASH by reducing endoplasmic reticulum stress and promoting the activity of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein.

Abstract
Radiation therapy for head and neck cancers causes salivary gland dysfunction leading to permanent xerostomia. Limited progress in the discovery of new therapeutic strategies is attributed to the lack of in vitro models that mimic salivary gland function and allow high-throughput drug screening. We address this limitation by combining engineered extracellular matrices with microbubble (MB) array technology to develop functional tissue mimetics for mouse and human salivary glands. We demonstrate that mouse and human salivary tissues encapsulated within matrix metalloproteinase-degradable poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogels formed in MB arrays are viable, express key salivary gland markers, and exhibit polarized localization of functional proteins. The salivary gland mimetics (SGm) respond to calcium signaling agonists and secrete salivary proteins. SGm were then used to evaluate radiosensitivity and mitigation of radiation damage using a radioprotective compound. Altogether, SGm exhibit phenotypic and functional parameters of salivary glands, and provide an enabling technology for high-content/throughput drug testing.

Abstract
Esophageal cancer is a prominent worldwide illness that is divided into two main subtypes: esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and esophageal adenocarcinoma. Mortality rates are alarming, and the understanding of the mechanisms involved in esophageal cancer development, becomes essential. Purinergic signaling is related to many diseases and among these various types of tumors. Here we studied the effects of the P2Y2 receptor activation in different types of esophageal cancer. Esophageal tissue samples of healthy controls were used for P2Y2R expression quantification. Two human esophageal cancer cell lines Kyse-450 (squamous cell carcinoma) and OE-33 (adenocarcinoma) were used to perform in vitro analysis of cell proliferation, migration, adhesion, and the signaling pathways involved in P2Y2R activation. Data showed that P2Y2R was expressed in biopsies of patients with ESCC and adenocarcinoma, as well as in the two human esophageal cancer cell lines studied. The RT-qPCR analysis demonstrated that OE-33 cells have higher P2RY2 expression than Kyse-450 squamous cell line. Results showed that P2Y2R activation, induced by ATP or UTP, promoted esophageal cancer cells proliferation and colony formation. P2Y2R blockage with the selective antagonist, AR-C 118925XX, led to decreased proliferation, colony formation and adhesion. Treatments with ATP or UTP activated ERK 1/2 pathway in ESCC and ECA cells. The P2Y2R antagonism did not alter the migration of esophageal cancer cells. Interestingly, the esophageal cancer cell lines presented a distinct profile of nucleotide hydrolysis activity. The modulation of P2Y2 receptors may be a promising target for esophageal cancer treatment.

Synthesis and preclinical validation of novel P2Y1 receptor ligands as a potent anti-prostate cancer agent. Sci Rep 2019; 9:18938. [PMID: 31831761 PMCID: PMC6908675 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-55194-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2019] [Accepted: 11/25/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Purinergic receptor is a potential drug target for neuropathic pain, Alzheimer disease, and prostate cancer. Focusing on the structure-based ligand discovery, docking analysis on the crystal structure of P2Y1 receptor (P2Y1R) with 923 derivatives of 1-indolinoalkyl 2-phenolic compound is performed to understand the molecular insights of the receptor. The structural model identified the top novel ligands, 426 (compound 1) and 636 (compound 2) having highest binding affinity with the docking score of -7.38 and -6.92. We have reported the interaction efficacy and the dynamics of P2Y1R protein with the ligands. The best hits synthesized were experimentally optimized as a potent P2Y1 agonists. These ligands exhibits anti-proliferative effect against the PC-3 and DU-145 cells (IC50 = 15 µM - 33 µM) with significant increase in the calcium level in dose- and time-dependent manner. Moreover, the activation of P2Y1R induced the apoptosis via Capase3/7 and ROS signaling pathway. Thus it is evidenced that the newly synthesized ligands, as a P2Y1R agonists could potentially act as a therapeutic drug for treating prostate cancer.

Adenosine diphosphate-sensitive P2Y11 receptor inhibits endothelial cell proliferation by induction of cell cycle arrest in the S phase and induces the expression of inflammatory mediators.

Abstract
Extracellular adenosine diphosphate (ADP) mediates a wide range of physiological effects as an extracellular signaling molecule, including platelet aggregation, vascular tone, cell proliferation, and apoptosis by interacting with plasma membrane P2 receptors. However, the effect of ADP on cell proliferation was contradictory. In this study, we found that ADP significantly inhibited cell proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells at high concentrations (50 to 100 µM). Treatment with ADP did not induce cell apoptosis but instead induced cell cycle arrest in the S phase, which may be partly due to the downregulation of cyclin B1. The inhibition of cell proliferation was blocked by suramin, a nonspecific antagonist of the P2 receptors, and high concentrations of ADP significantly upregulated the messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein expression of P2Y11 in endothelial cells. Moreover, the downregulation of P2Y11 by RNA interference reversed the inhibition of cell proliferation. In addition, ADP (100 µM) can induce the formation of cytosolic autophagy in endothelial cells and a rapid phosphorylation of extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2, which is a canonical signal molecule downstream of P2Y receptors, accompanied by a mRNA expression of proinflammatory cytokines such as intercellular adhesion molecule 1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1. Taken together, our study excludes a mechanism for extracellular ADP impairing endothelial cells proliferation via P2Y11 receptor by downregulating cyclin B1 and arresting cell cycle at the S phase, besides, ADP induces cell autophagy and mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines, whether it is mediated by Erk signaling pathways needs further studies to confirm.

Abstract
When cells undergo necrotic cell death in either physiological or pathophysiological settings in vivo, they release highly immunogenic intracellular molecules and organelles into the interstitium and thereby represent the strongest known trigger of the immune system. With our increasing understanding of necrosis as a regulated and genetically determined process (RN, regulated necrosis), necrosis and necroinflammation can be pharmacologically prevented. This review discusses our current knowledge about signaling pathways of necrotic cell death as the origin of necroinflammation. Multiple pathways of RN such as necroptosis, ferroptosis, and pyroptosis have been evolutionary conserved most likely because of their differences in immunogenicity. As the consequence of necrosis, however, all necrotic cells release damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) that have been extensively investigated over the last two decades. Analysis of necroinflammation allows characterizing specific signatures for each particular pathway of cell death. While all RN-pathways share the release of DAMPs in general, most of them actively regulate the immune system by the additional expression and/or maturation of either pro- or anti-inflammatory cytokines/chemokines. In addition, DAMPs have been demonstrated to modulate the process of regeneration. For the purpose of better understanding of necroinflammation, we introduce a novel classification of DAMPs in this review to help detect the relative contribution of each RN-pathway to certain physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

Abstract
Modulation of the biochemical composition of the tumour microenvironment is a new frontier of cancer therapy. Several immunosuppressive mechanisms operate in the milieu of most tumours, a condition that makes antitumour immunity ineffective. One of the most potent immunosuppressive factors is adenosine, which is generated in the tumour microenvironment owing to degradation of extracellular ATP. Accruing evidence over the past few years shows that ATP is one of the major biochemical constituents of the tumour microenvironment, where it acts at P2 purinergic receptors expressed on both tumour and host cells. Stimulation of P2 receptors has different effects depending on the extracellular ATP concentration, the P2 receptor subtype engaged and the target cell type. Among P2 receptors, the P2X purinergic receptor 7 (P2X7R) subtype appears to be a main player in host-tumour cell interactions. Preclinical studies in several tumour models have shown that P2X7R targeting is potentially a very effective anticancer treatment, and many pharmaceutical companies have now developed potent and selective small molecule inhibitors of P2X7R. In this Review, we report on the multiple mechanisms by which extracellular ATP shapes the tumour microenvironment and how its stimulation of host and tumour cell P2 receptors contributes to determining tumour fate.

Abstract
Purinergic receptors are implicated in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal disorders and are being explored as potential therapeutic targets. Gut inflammation releases ATP that acts on neuronal, glial, epithelial and immune cells. Purinergic signalling in glia and neurons is implicated in enteric neuropathies. Inflammation activates glia to increase ATP release and alter purinergic signalling. ATP release causes neuron death and gut motor dysfunction in colitis via a P2X7-dependent neural-glial pathway and a glial purinergic-connexin-43 pathway. The latter pathway also mediates morphine-induced constipation and gut inflammation that may differ from opioid-induced constipation. P2X7R antagonists are protective in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) models, where as AZD9056 is questionable in Crohn's disease, but is potentially beneficial for chronic abdominal pain. Drug targets under investigation for IBD, irritable bowel syndrome and motility disorders include P2X7R, P2X3R, P2Y2R, A2A/A2BAR, enzymes and transporters.

Abstract
Purinergic signalling, i.e., the role of nucleotides as extracellular signalling molecules, was proposed in 1972. However, this concept was not well accepted until the early 1990's when receptor subtypes for purines and pyrimidines were cloned and characterised, which includes four subtypes of the P1 (adenosine) receptor, seven subtypes of P2X ion channel receptors and 8 subtypes of the P2Y G protein-coupled receptor. Early studies were largely concerned with the physiology, pharmacology and biochemistry of purinergic signalling. More recently, the focus has been on the pathophysiology and therapeutic potential. There was early recognition of the use of P1 receptor agonists for the treatment of supraventricular tachycardia and A2A receptor antagonists are promising for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Clopidogrel, a P2Y12 antagonist, is widely used for the treatment of thrombosis and stroke, blocking P2Y12 receptor-mediated platelet aggregation. Diquafosol, a long acting P2Y2 receptor agonist, is being used for the treatment of dry eye. P2X3 receptor antagonists have been developed that are orally bioavailable and stable in vivo and are currently in clinical trials for the treatment of chronic cough, bladder incontinence, visceral pain and hypertension. Antagonists to P2X7 receptors are being investigated for the treatment of inflammatory disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases. Other investigations are in progress for the use of purinergic agents for the treatment of osteoporosis, myocardial infarction, irritable bowel syndrome, epilepsy, atherosclerosis, depression, autism, diabetes, and cancer.

Anti-proliferative Effects of Nucleotides on Gastric Cancer via a Novel P2Y6/SOCE/Ca 2+/β-catenin Pathway. Sci Rep 2017; 7:2459.

Abstract
Although purinegic signaling is important in regulating gastric physiological functions, it is currently unknown for its role in gastric cancer (GC). We demonstrate for the first time that the expression of P2Y6 receptors was markedly down-regulated in human GC cells and primary GC tissues compared to normal tissues, while the expression of P2Y2 and P2Y4 receptors was up-regulated in GC cells. Moreover, the expression levels of P2Y6 receptors in GC tissues were correlated to tumor size, differentiation, metastasis to lymph nodes, and the survival rate of the patients with GC. Ncleotides activated P2Y6 receptors to raise cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations in GC cells through store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), and then mediated Ca2+-dependent inhibition of β-catenin and proliferation, eventually leading to GC suppression. Furthermore, UTP particularly blocked the G1/S transition of GC cells but did not induce apoptosis. Collectively, we conclude that nucleotides activate P2Y6 receptors to suppress GC growth through a novel SOCE/Ca2+/β-catenin-mediated anti-proliferation of GC cells, which is different from the canonical SOCE/Ca2+-induced apoptosis in other tumors.
