cellular response to purine-containing compound
Definition
Target type: biologicalprocess
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a purine-containing compound stimulus. [GOC:mah]
Cellular response to purine-containing compounds encompasses a wide range of biological processes, initiated by the interaction of purine molecules with specific cellular receptors and signaling pathways. Purines, such as adenosine, guanine, and hypoxanthine, play crucial roles in diverse cellular functions, including energy production, nucleic acid synthesis, and signal transduction.
The initial step in cellular response to purines involves the binding of these molecules to specific cell surface receptors. These receptors, known as purinergic receptors, are classified into two main families: P1 receptors, which bind adenosine, and P2 receptors, which bind ATP, ADP, and other purine nucleotides.
P1 receptors, specifically A1, A2A, A2B, and A3 subtypes, activate intracellular signaling cascades through the coupling of G proteins. Upon ligand binding, these receptors stimulate the production of second messengers such as cAMP, leading to downstream effects on gene expression, ion channel activity, and cellular metabolism.
P2 receptors, including P2X and P2Y subtypes, mediate rapid responses through the direct activation of ion channels or the activation of phospholipase C, leading to the production of inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG).
The cellular response to purines is highly context-dependent, influenced by factors such as cell type, purine concentration, and the presence of other signaling molecules. For example, adenosine can exert both inhibitory and excitatory effects on neurons depending on the specific receptor subtype involved.
In summary, cellular response to purine-containing compounds is a multifaceted process involving a complex interplay of receptors, signaling pathways, and cellular functions. These responses are essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis, regulating a wide range of biological processes, and contributing to overall organismal health.'
