Disease relevance of P2RX4

 

High impact information on P2RX4

  • Homomeric P2X4 receptors are much less sensitive to antagonism by suramin and pyridoxal 5-phosphate-6-azo-2',4'-disulfonic acid [3].
  • Brief (< 1 s) applications of ATP to nodose ganglion neurons or to cells transfected with P2X2 or P2X4 receptor cDNAs induce the opening of a channel selectively permeable to small cations within milliseconds [4].
  • ATP receptor regulation of adenylate cyclase and protein kinase C activity in cultured renal LLC-PK1 cells [5].
  • Calcium wave propagation also was reduced by purinergic receptor antagonists and by Cl- channel blockers but insensitive to gap junction inhibitors [6].
  • The assembly of P2X4 with P2X6 subunits results from subunit-dependent interactions, as shown by their specific copurification from HEK-293 cells transiently transfected with various epitope-tagged P2X channel subunits [7].

Associations of P2RX4 with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of P2RX4

  • In fetal bladders the expression of P2X1 transcripts was much lower than in adult bladders, and P2X4 and P2X7 were also present [16].
  • The P2X1 receptor was highly specific for human SMC, while the P2X4 was the highest expressed receptor in EC [17].
  • A beneficial role of cardiac P2X4 receptors in heart failure: rescue of the calsequestrin overexpression model of cardiomyopathy [9].
  • Absence of the responses of alphabeta-methylene ATP and 2-methylthio-ATP excluded functionally active P2X3, P2X4, and P2Y1 receptors as far as [Ca2+]i increase is concerned [18].
  • Single-point Monks-Kaplan analysis provided evidence of association between central fat mass and SNPs in two genes - PLA2G1B (P = 0.0067) and P2RX4 (P = 0.017) [19].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of P2RX4

  • We identified the P2X subtypes present in BAECs using RT-PCR. mRNA was present for only three of seven family members: P2X4, P2X5, and P2X7 [11].
  • We confirmed, by immunocytochemistry, the presence of P2X4 and P2X7 protein [11].
  • Moreover, we have demonstrated that the increase in the P2X4 expression is yet another feature of an inflammatory response identified in DNA arrays of dystrophic muscle [13].
  • Electrophoretic mobility shift assays showed a marked decrease in binding of Sp1 to the Sp1 consensus element in shear-stressed cells, suggesting that Sp1 mediates the shear stress-induced downregulation of P2X4 gene transcription [10].
  • Radiation hybrid mapping indicated that this is within 130 kb of the gene for the homologous P2X4 receptor [20].
