Extracellular nucleotides induce cellular responses in the central nervous system (CNS) through the activation of ionotropic P2X and metabotropic P2Y nucleotide receptors. Activation of these receptors regulates a wide range of physiological and pathological processes. In this review, we present an overview of the current literature regarding P2X and P2Y receptors in the CNS with a focus on the contribution of P2X7 and P2Y(2) receptor-mediated responses to neuroinflammatory and neuroprotective mechanisms.
细胞外核苷酸通过激活中枢神经系统 (CNS) 中的离子型 P2X 和代谢型 P2Y 核苷酸受体诱导细胞反应。这些受体的激活调节广泛的生理和病理过程。在这篇综述中,我们概述了关于 CNS 中 P2X 和 P2Y 受体的当前文献,重点介绍了 P2X7 和 P2Y(2)受体介导的反应对神经炎症和神经保护机制的贡献。
