Natural Compounds Modulating Mitochondrial Functions
Mitochondria are organelles responsible for several crucial cell functions, including respiration, oxidative phosphorylation, and regulation of apoptosis; they are also the main intracellular source of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In the last years, a particular interest has been devoted to studying the effects on mitochondria of natural compounds of vegetal origin, quercetin (Qu), resveratro...
متن کاملModulating P2X7 Receptor Signaling during Rheumatoid Arthritis: New Therapeutic Approaches for Bisphosphonates
P2X7 receptor-mediated purinergic signaling is a well-known mechanism involved in bone remodeling. The P2X7 receptor has been implicated in the pathophysiology of various bone and cartilage diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a widespread and complex chronic inflammatory disorder. The P2X7 receptor induces the release into the synovial fluid of the proinflammatory factors (e.g., inte...
متن کاملP2X2 and P2X5 subunits define a new heteromeric receptor with P2X7-like properties.
Ligand-gated ion channels are prototypic oligomeric membrane proteins whose stoichiometry determines their functional properties and subcellular localization. Deciphering the quaternary structure of such protein complexes is an arduous task and usually requires the combination of multiple approaches. ATP-gated P2X receptors are formed by the association of three subunits, but the quaternary arr...
متن کاملBlockade of human P2X7 receptor function with a monoclonal antibody.
A monoclonal antibody (MoAb) specific for the human P2X7 receptor was generated in mice. As assessed by flow cytometry, the MoAb labeled human blood-derived macrophage cells natively expressing P2X7 receptors and cells transfected with human P2X7 but not other P2X receptor types. The MoAb was used to immunoprecipitate the human P2X7 receptor protein, and in immunohistochemical studies on human ...
متن کاملP2X7 receptor antagonism in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressive disorder characterized by the degeneration and subsequent loss of upper and lower motor neurons, resulting in reduced muscle function and paralysis (Mathis et al., 2017). Current therapies are limited to the oral administration of riluzole, which improves survival by only 3 months (Mathis et al., 2017). Thus, new therapies are urgentl...
