ATP as a cotransmitter in sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves-another Burnstock legacy

Charles Kennedy

Summary: Geoff Burnstock's scientific legacy includes the identification of ATP as a neurotransmitter in the gut, the discovery of a large family of receptors, and the demonstration of ATP's role as an excitatory cotransmitter in autonomic nerves. The potential therapeutic application of cotransmission in treating dysfunctional bladder disorders is a promising area of research.

The discovery and development of gefapixant

Anthony P. Ford et al.

Summary: Gefapixant, also known as MK-7264, is the first clinically developed antagonist for the P2X3 subtype of ionotropic purinergic receptors. It has successfully completed Phase 3 investigations for the treatment of cough and is now under review for approval by the US FDA. Developed initially by Roche Pharmaceuticals, clinical development was continued by Afferent Pharmaceuticals before being acquired by Merck & Co., Inc.

Purinergic neurotransmission in the gustatory system

T. Finger et al.

Summary: Taste buds are made up of specialized epithelial cells that detect specific tastants and release ATP as a neurotransmitter onto nerve fibers. Despite recent discoveries, there are still several aspects of purinergic transmission in the taste system that need further elucidation.

The role of enteric inhibitory neurons in intestinal motility

Marcello Costa et al.

Summary: The enteric nervous system controls the movement and mixing of nutrients in the digestive tract through excitatory and inhibitory motor neurons, with inhibitory motor neurons playing a role in muscle relaxation and propulsion. IMNs are located in the myenteric plexus and act by relaxing the circular muscle to facilitate propulsion, with ongoing activity to maintain muscle relaxation and respond to content for further activation of enteric pathways.

Autonomic neuromuscular junctions

Madeleine R. Di Natale et al.

Summary: Smooth muscle tissue is composed of numerous small, electrically connected muscle cells, each influenced by multiple axons. While the probability of an individual varicosity releasing transmitter onto adjacent muscle cells is low, multiple axons can influence a single muscle cell.

P2X3 receptors participate in purinergic inhibition of gastrointestinal smooth muscle

Brian F. King

Summary: The ATP analogue alpha, beta-meATP is a potent relaxant of gastrointestinal smooth muscle, acting through Ca2+-permeable P2X3 receptors to release inhibitory nucleotides like ATP and beta-NAD, leading to P2Y1-mediated brief relaxations, as well as another transmitter (possibly NO) causing prolonged relaxations. Prejunctional P2X3 receptors serve as a purinergic feed-forward mechanism to enhance the action of inhibitory nerves on gut motility.

The inevitability of ATP as a transmitter in the carotid body

Emma N. Bardsley et al.

Summary: Changes in oxygen levels have significant impact on the evolution of biological complexity, with oxygen being essential for ATP production in eukaryotic cells. Higher mammals have developed specialized organs to maintain oxygen levels for survival. Sensitivity of ATP transmission increases in the carotid body under hypoxic conditions.
