ADP regulation of insulin secretion and beta-cell apoptosis
… in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) through ectonucleotidase or ATP release under the effect of high glucose. The expression of the ADP receptors P2Y1 and P2Y13 were shown in both mouse pancreatic islets and isolated β-cells using real-time PCR quantification. Insulin and glucagon secretion …

Integrated modulation of sympathetic tone in the microcirculation by oxygen, adenosine, and nitric oxide
… constriction. In the presence of the 5'-ectonucleotidase inhibitor alpha,beta-methyleneadenosine 5'-diphosphate (4.5 x 10-5 M), the enhancing effects of L-NMMA and the high-O2 superfusate on sympathetic constriction were preserved. None of these treatments had an effect on vascular smooth …

Regulation of blood platelet function by the AGC family of protein kinases
… (NO); (2) prostacyclin (PGI₂ ); and (3) the ectonucleotidase CD39. NO and PGI2 stimulate signalling cascades that result in the activation of the AGC family of Ser/Thr protein kinases (PKA, PKG and PKC). Once activated these kinase blunt platelet function through the phosphorylation of …

Immunotolerance regeneration by T regulatory cells in autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation for multiple sclerosis
… T regulatory cells (Tregs). Tregs expressing the ectonucleotidase enzyme CD39 exert immunoregulatory function by suppressing T helper (Th)17-related immune responses, which has been significantly associated with MS pathogenesis. However, this immunoregulatory function was reported to be decreased …

Neuroepithelial Signalling in the Colon
… response to GSK1016790A in the presence of ectonucleotidase inhibition and the release of ATP and glutamate in the supernatant of colonic tissue treated with GSK1016790A. Furthermore, the co-culture of DRG sensory neurons with mucosal cells derived from the colon enhanced the proportion of …

Novel Modulators of CD39 and CD73
CD39 and CD73 are crucial in purinergic signalling, converting triphosphate and diphosphate nucleotides such as ATP and ADP into AMP, which CD73 further degrades into adenosine. CD39 and CD73 dysregulation is linked to various diseases. In cancer, their upregulation is associated with immune …
