Immunopharmacology Comments
P2X ligand-gated ion channels elicit pro-inflammatory immune responses upon activation by extracellular ATP that acts as a DAMP when released from damaged or infected cells [3-4]. In plasma cells in the bone marrow niche, P2X4 signalling is required for generating mature protective plasma cells, and is also implicated in production of autoantibodies in autoimmune models [7].
Cell Type Associations
Immuno Cell Type:  B cells
Cell Ontology Term:   B cell (CL:0000236)
Comment:  Human B cells express all P2 receptor subtypes.
References:  14
Immuno Cell Type:  T cells
Comment:  T cells express P2X receptors 1, 4 and 5. ATP-induced activation of these receptors in T cells is associated with proliferation, cytokine production and thymocyte apoptosis.
