Liver functionality is modulated by ionotropic P2X and metabotropic P2Y receptors, specifically P2Y1, P2Y2, and P2Y6 subtypes, which physiologically exert their influence through calcium signaling, a key second messenger controlling glucose and fat metabolism in hepatocytes. Purinergic receptors, acting through calcium signaling, play an important role in a range of liver diseases. Ionotropic P2X receptors, such as the P2X7 subtype, and certain metabotropic P2Y receptors can induce aberrant intracellular calcium transients that impact normal hepatocyte function and initiate the activation of other liver cell types, including Kupffer and stellate cells. These P2Y- and P2X-dependent intracellular calcium increases are particularly relevant in hepatic disease states, where stellate and Kupffer cells respond with innate immune reactions to challenges, such as excess fat accumulation, chronic alcohol abuse, or infections, and can eventually lead to liver fibrosis. This review explores the consequences of excessive extracellular ATP accumulation, triggering calcium influx through P2X4 and P2X7 receptors, inflammasome activation, and programmed cell death. In addition, P2Y2 receptors contribute to hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance, while inhibiting the expression of P2Y6 receptors can alleviate alcoholic liver steatosis. Adenosine receptors may also contribute to fibrosis through extracellular matrix production by fibroblasts. Thus, pharmacological modulation of P1 and P2 receptors and downstream calcium signaling may open novel therapeutic avenues.</p>","PeriodicalId":20952,"journal":{"name":"Purinergic Signalling","volume":" ","pages":"69-81"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11958897/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142352832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bozepinib (BZP), a purine-derived molecule, is a potential compound for the treatment of cancer. Purinergic signaling consists of the activity of nucleosides and nucleotides present in the extracellular environment, modulating a variety of biological actions. In cancer, this signaling is mainly controlled by the enzymatic cascade involving the NTPDase/E-NPP family and ecto-5'-nucleotidase/CD73, which hydrolyze extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to adenosine (ADO). The aim of this work is to evaluate the activity of BZP in the purinergic system in BC cell lines and to compare its in vitro antitumor activity with cisplatin, a chemotherapeutic drug widely used in the treatment of BC. In this study, two different BC cell lines, grade 1 RT4 and the more aggressive grade 3 T24, were used along with a human fibroblast cell line MRC-5, a cell used to predict the selectivity index (SI). BZP shows strong antitumor activity, with notable IC<sub>50</sub> values (8.7 ± 0.9 µM for RT4; 6.7 ± 0.7 µM for T24), far from the SI for cisplatin (SI for BZP: 19.7 and 25.7 for RT4 and T24, respectively; SI for cisplatin: 1.7 for T24). BZP arrests T24 cells in the G<sub>2</sub>/M phase of the cell cycle, inducing early apoptosis.

Acute defence response induced by pathogen- and danger/damage-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs and DAMPs) triggers the NF-κB pathway in pinealocytes and blocks the transcription of Snat.

NAS is released in the plasma and the cerebral spinal fluid. NAS also blocks the rolling and adhesion of leukocytes to endothelial cells. Otherwise, it is metabolised specifically in each brain area to provide the requested concentration of MLT as a neuroprotector. As observed in physiological conditions, high extracellular ATP, different from the other DAMPs, reports the environmental light/dark cycle rhythm because NAS substitutes MLT as the nocturnal chemical indicator, the darkness hormone.

These receptors are activated when astrocytic and neuronal populations release adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in an autocrine and paracrine manner, following sustained patterns of neuronal activity. The modulation by these receptors of GABAergic transmission has only recently been studied. Through their ramifications, astrocytes and GABAergic interneurons reach large groups of excitatory pyramidal neurons. Their inhibitory effect establishes different synchronization patterns that determine gamma frequency rhythms, which characterize neural activities related to cognitive processes. During early life, GABAergic-mediated synchronization of excitatory signals directs the experience-driven maturation of cognitive development, and dysfunctions concerning this process have been associated with neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases. Purinergic receptors timely modulate GABAergic control over ongoing neural activity and deeply affect neural processing in the hippocampal and neocortical circuitry. Stimulation of A<sub>2</sub> receptors increases GABA release from presynaptic terminals, leading to a considerable reduction in neuronal firing of pyramidal neurons. A<sub>1</sub> receptors inhibit GABAergic activity but only act in the early postnatal period when GABA produces excitatory signals.

Guanosine, an endogenous nucleoside, is safe and exerts neuroprotective effects in preclinical models of excitotoxicity, along with cytotoxic effects on tumour cells. However, the lack of well-defined mechanisms of action for guanosine hinders a comprehensive understanding of its physiological effects. In fact, the absence of specific receptors for guanosine impedes the development of structure-activity research programs to develop guanosine derivatives for therapeutic purposes. Alternatively, given its apparent interaction with the adenosinergic system, it is plausible that guanosine exerts its neuroprotective and anti-tumorigenic effects by modulating adenosine transmission through undisclosed mechanisms involving adenosine receptors, transporters, and purinergic metabolism. Here, several potential molecular mechanisms behind the protective actions of guanosine will be discussed.
