Exploring P2X receptor activity: A journey from cellular impact to electrophysiological profiling
The development of in vitro pharmacological assays relies on creating genetically modified cell lines that overexpress the target protein of interest. However, the choice of the host cell line can significantly impact the experimental outcomes. This study explores the functional characterization of P2X7 and P2X4 receptor modulators through cellular assays and advanced electrophysiological techniques. The influence of different host cell lines (HEK-293, HEK-293FT, and 1321N1) on the activity of reference agonists and antagonists targeting human and murine P2X4 and P2X7 receptors was systematically investigated, highlighting the significant impact of the host cell on experimental results. The 1321N1 cell line was identified as the preferred host cell line when investigating the human P2X4 receptor due to more consistent agonist activities, antagonist potencies, and a more stable assay signal window. Furthermore, a patch-clamp protocol that allows for the repetitive recording of ATP-mediated inward currents from isolated human CD4+ T-cells was established, revealing that both P2X7 and P2X4 receptors are crucial for immune cell regulation, positioning them as promising therapeutic targets for managing inflammatory disorders.
期刊介绍:
Biochemical Pharmacology publishes original research findings, Commentaries and review articles related to the elucidation of cellular and tissue function(s) at the biochemical and molecular levels, the modification of cellular phenotype(s) by genetic, transcriptional/translational or drug/compound-induced modifications, as well as the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of xenobiotics and drugs, the latter including both small molecules and biologics.
The journal''s target audience includes scientists engaged in the identification and study of the mechanisms of action of xenobiotics, biologics and drugs and in the drug discovery and development process.
All areas of cellular biology and cellular, tissue/organ and whole animal pharmacology fall within the scope of the journal. Drug classes covered include anti-infectives, anti-inflammatory agents, chemotherapeutics, cardiovascular, endocrinological, immunological, metabolic, neurological and psychiatric drugs, as well as research on drug metabolism and kinetics. While medicinal chemistry is a topic of complimentary interest, manuscripts in this area must contain sufficient biological data to characterize pharmacologically the compounds reported. Submissions describing work focused predominately on chemical synthesis and molecular modeling will not be considered for review.
While particular emphasis is placed on reporting the results of molecular and biochemical studies, research involving the use of tissue and animal models of human pathophysiology and toxicology is of interest to the extent that it helps define drug mechanisms of action, safety and efficacy.
