PMID: 28848393
Front Cell Neurosci. 2017 Aug 08;11:227. doi: 10.3389/fncel.2017.00227. eCollection 2017.

Inflammatory responses play a key role in many neural pathologies, with localized signaling from the non-immune cells making critical contributions. The NLRP3 inflammasome is an important component of innate immune signaling and can link neural insult to chronic inflammation....

PMID: 19241145
Purinergic Signal. 2009 Jun;5(2):241-9. doi: 10.1007/s11302-009-9142-6. Epub 2009 Feb 25.

Retinal ganglion cells process the visual signal and transmit it along their axons in the optic nerve to the brain. Molecular, immunohistochemical, and functional analyses indicate that the majority of retinal ganglion cells express the ionotropic P2X(7) receptor. Stimulation...

Purinergic signalling in the subretinal space: a role in the communication between the retina and the RPE.

Purinergic signalling

Mitchell CH, Reigada D.
PMID: 18368526
Purinergic Signal. 2008 Jun;4(2):101-7. doi: 10.1007/s11302-007-9054-2. Epub 2007 Mar 14.

The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is separated from the photoreceptor outer segments by the subretinal space. While the actual volume of this space is minimal, the communication that occurs across this microenvironment is important to the visual process, and...

Stimulation of an alpha1-adrenergic receptor downregulates ecto-5' nucleotidase activity on the apical membrane of RPE cells.

Purinergic signalling

Reigada D, Zhang X, Crespo A, Nguyen J, Liu J, Pendrak K, Stone RA, Laties AM, Mitchell C.

Purinergic Signal. 2006 Sep;2(3):499-507. doi: 10.1007/s11302-005-3980-7. Epub 2006 Aug 11.

The purines ATP and adenosine play an important role in the communication between the photoreceptors and the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). While the RPE is known to release ATP into subretinal space, the source of extracellular adenosine is unclear....

The P2Y.

Front Pharmacol. 2018 Apr 19;9:242. doi: 10.3389/fphar.2018.00242. eCollection 2018.

The accumulation of partially degraded lipid waste in lysosomal-related organelles may contribute to pathology in many aging diseases. The presence of these lipofuscin granules is particularly evident in the autofluorescent lysosome-associated organelles of the retinal pigmented epithelial (RPE) cells,...

Microglial cells regulate neural homeostasis by coordinating both immune responses and clearance of debris, and the P2X

Rapid morphologic changes to microglial cells and upregulation of mixed microglial activation state markers induced by P2X7 receptor stimulation and increased intraocular pressure.

Journal of neuroinflammation

Campagno KE, Lu W, Jassim AH, Albalawi F, Cenaj A, Tso HY, Clark SP, Sripinun P, Gómez NM, Mitchell CH.

BACKGROUND: The identification of endogenous signals that lead to microglial activation is a key step in understanding neuroinflammatory cascades. As ATP release accompanies mechanical strain to neural tissue, and as the P2X7 receptor for ATP is expressed on microglial...

Crosstalk Between Dysfunctional Mitochondria and Inflammation in Glaucomatous Neurodegeneration.

Frontiers in pharmacology

Jassim AH, Inman DM, Mitchell CH.
PMID: 34366851
Front Pharmacol. 2021 Jul 21;12:699623. doi: 10.3389/fphar.2021.699623. eCollection 2021.

Mitochondrial dysfunction and excessive inflammatory responses are both sufficient to induce pathology in age-dependent neurodegenerations. However, emerging evidence indicates crosstalk between damaged mitochondrial and inflammatory signaling can exacerbate issues in chronic neurodegenerations. This review discusses evidence for the interaction...

Slow degradation in phagocytic astrocytes can be enhanced by lysosomal acidification.

Inefficient lysosomal degradation is central in the development of various brain disorders, but the underlying mechanisms and the involvement of different cell types remains elusive. We have previously shown that astrocytes effectively engulf dead cells, but then store, rather...
