P2X purinoceptor 7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the P2RX7 gene.[3][4]

The product of this gene belongs to the family of purinoceptors for ATP. Multiple alternatively spliced variants which would encode different isoforms have been identified although some fit nonsense-mediated decay criteria.[5]

The receptor is found in the central and peripheral nervous systems, in microglia, in macrophages, in uterine endometrium, and in the retina.[6][7][8][9] The P2X7 receptor also serves as a pattern recognition receptor for extracellular ATP-mediated apoptotic cell death,[10] regulation of receptor trafficking,[11] mast cell degranulation,[12][13] and inflammation.[12][13][14]

Structure and kinetics[edit]

The P2X7 subunits can form homomeric receptors only with a typical P2X receptor structure.[15] The P2X7 receptor is a ligand-gated cation channel that opens in response to ATP binding and leads to cell depolarization. The P2X7 receptor requires higher levels of ATP than other P2X receptors; however, the response can be potentiated by reducing the concentration of divalent cations such as calcium or magnesium.[16] Continued binding leads to increased permeability to N-methyl-D-glucamine (NMDG+).[16] P2X7 receptors do not become desensitized readily and continued signaling leads to the aforementioned increased permeability and an increase in current amplitude.[16]

Pharmacology[edit]

Agonists[edit]

P2X7 receptors respond to BzATP more readily than ATP.[16] ADP and AMP are weak agonists of P2X7 receptors, but a brief exposure to ATP can increase their effectiveness.[16] Glutathione has been recently proposed to act as a P2X7 receptor agonist when present at milimolar levels, inducing calcium transients and GABA release from retinal cells.[17][18]

Antagonists[edit]

The P2X7 receptor current can be blocked by zinc, calcium, magnesium, and copper.[16] P2X7 receptors are sensitive to pyridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulphonic acid (PPADS) and relatively insensitive to suramin, but the suramin analog, NF279, is much more effective. Other blockers include the large organic cations calmidazolium (a calmodulin antagonist) and KN-62 (a CaM kinase II antagonist).[16]

Receptor trafficking[edit]

In microglia, P2X7 receptors are found mostly on the cell surface.[19] Conserved cysteine residues located in the carboxyl terminus seem to be important for receptor trafficking to the cell membrane.[20] These receptors are upregulated in response to peripheral nerve injury.[21]

In melanocytic cells P2X7 gene expression may be regulated by MITF.[22]

Recruitment of pannexin[edit]

Activation of the P2X7 receptor by ATP leads to recruitment of pannexin pores[23] which allow small molecules such as ATP to leak out of cells. This allows further activation of purinergic receptors and physiological responses such a spreading cytoplasmic waves of calcium.[24] Moreover, this could be responsible for ATP-dependent lysis of macrophages through the formation of membrane pores permeable to larger molecules.

Clinical significance[edit]

Neuropathic pain[edit]

Microglial P2X7 receptors are thought to be involved in neuropathic pain because blockade or deletion of P2X7 receptors results in decreased responses to pain, as demonstrated in vivo.[25][26] Moreover, P2X7 receptor signaling increases the release of proinflammatory molecules such as IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α.[27][28][29] In addition, P2X7 receptors have been linked to increases in proinflammatory cytokines such as CXCL2 and CCL3.[30][31] Interestingly, P2X7 receptors are also linked to P2X4 receptors, which are also associated with neuropathic pain mediated by microglia.[19]

Osteoporosis[edit]

Mutations in this gene have been associated to low lumbar spine bone mineral density and accelerated bone loss in post-menopausal women.[32]

Diabetes[edit]

The ATP/P2X7R pathway may trigger T-cell attacks on the pancreas, rendering it unable to produce insulin. This autoimmune response may be an early mechanism by which the onset of diabetes is caused.[33][34]

Researches[edit]

Possible link to hepatic fibrosis[edit]

One study in mice showed that blockade of P2X7 receptors attenuates onset of liver fibrosis.[35]
