Recent evidence highlights the pivotal roles of purinergic receptors in mediating the inflammatory and cellular processes associated with atherosclerosis. This review examines the roles of purinergic receptors in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis, with a particular focus on the P1 subtype (A2A and A3 receptors), the P2X subtype (P2X4 and P2X7 receptors), and the P2Y subtype (P2Y2, P2Y11, and P2Y12 receptors). The A2A and A3 receptors are involved in modulating vascular inflammation, endothelial cell function, and vascular smooth muscle cell calcification. P2X4 has been implicated in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the promotion of plaque inflammation, whereas P2X7 contributes to vascular inflammation, plaque progression, and rupture. The P2Y2 receptor plays critical roles in regulating vascular inflammation and calcification, smooth muscle cell migration, and plaque growth. Furthermore, the P2Y11 receptor has been shown to modulate endothelial cell inflammation, while P2Y12 is associated with lipid accumulation, foam cell formation, vascular smooth muscle cell migration, and plaque development. By synthesising current knowledge on the involvement of purinergic signalling in atherosclerosis, this review discusses potential therapeutic targets for intervention. Specifically, P2Y receptor antagonists present promising avenues for reducing inflammation and improving vascular function in atherosclerotic patients. However, despite the advancements in understanding purinergic receptor functions, challenges remain in translating this knowledge into clinical practice. Further research is essential to unravel the intricate signalling pathways of these receptors and to develop effective biomarker strategies and therapeutic interventions aimed at combatting atherosclerosis and its associated complications.</p>","PeriodicalId":16779,"journal":{"name":"Journal of physiology and biochemistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144642765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Beneficial effects associated with polyphenol consumption are related to their ability to prevent and/or counteract disease features: they exert anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anticancer effects, as well as protective actions against metabolic diseases. Phenolic compounds and their metabolites can modulate cell function by regulating gene expression. These effects are partially mediated through specific changes in epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation, histone modifications and microRNA (miRNA) expression. Some polyphenols affect DNA methylation and are effective in counteracting deleterious actions induced by inflammatory/pro-oxidant factors, both in in vitro and in vivo settings. Specific mechanisms include modulation of methyl-transferases, whose levels are inhibited upon polyphenols treatment. Some polyphenols are histone deacetylase inhibitors, which prevent transcriptional repression and suppress tumor and inflammation genes by affecting selective regulation of miRNA expression. Their mostly recognized actions as anti-inflammatory and antioxidants seem to be partially mediated through regulation of individual miRNAs. Due to these actions, polyphenols and polyphenol-derived metabolites are under study in clinical and interventional trials for their benefits on inflammation and/or metabolic disorders.

This review summarises the molecular mechanisms by which these junctions contribute to atherosclerosis, focusing on key proteins like VE-cadherin (AJs), ZO-1, occludin, and claudins (TJs), and connexins (GJs). Dysregulation of these junctions, driven by factors such as oxidative stress, pro-inflammatory cytokines, atheroprone shear stress (aSS), and lipid-mediated signalling pathways, leads to endothelial dysfunction, increased permeability, monocyte infiltration, and plaque instability. Furthermore, the role of signalling pathways, including NFκB, PI3K/AKT, and Wnt/β-catenin, in the regulation of junctional proteins is explored. Emerging factors, including oxygenated cholesterol, radiation, and various drugs, provide new insights into junctional modulation in atherosclerosis.

Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups, where treatment with 5α-dihydrotestosterone (5α-DHT) stimulated hyperandrogenemia (DHT groups), whereas litter size reduction induced early postnatal overfeeding and obesity (SL groups).

Our results show that postnatal overfeeding shifted the microbiota composition towards obesity-associated genera, while hyperandrogenemia led to reduced β-diversity and increased abundance of androgen-regulated genera. Interaction of treatments reduced α- and β-diversity and decreased the abundance of beneficial butyrate-producing genera Roseburia, Oscillospira, and Ruminococcus and butyric acid plasma level.

The pulp extracts of Pelota and Colorada varieties, as well as both peel and pulp extracts of Sanguinos, were effective in reducing palmitic acid-induced triglyceride accumulation in AML12 hepatocytes. The doses that caused the greatest triglyceride reduction were 50 µg/mL of the pulp of Pelota and 100 µg/mL for the other extracts. The potential mechanisms underlying these effects seem to be associated, at least in part, with the inhibition of fatty acid uptake and triglyceride assembly. The pulp extract of the Colorada variety was able to prevent triglyceride accumulation also in hepatic organoids, likely due to downregulation of fatty acid transporters.
