Abstract
P2 purinergic receptor expression is dysregulated in multiple cancer subtypes and is associated with worse outcomes. Studies identify roles for P2 purinergic receptors in tumor cells that drive disease aggressiveness. There is also sufficient evidence that P2 purinergic receptor expression within the tumor microenvironment (TME) is critical for disease initiation and progression. Immune cells constitute a significant component of the TME and display both tumorigenic and anti-tumorigenic potential. Studies pre-dating the investigation of P2 purinergic receptors in cancer identify P2 receptor expression on multiple immune cells including macrophages, neutrophils, T-cells, and dendritic cells; all of which are implicated in tumor initiation, tumor promotion, or response to treatment. Herein, we discuss P2 purinergic receptor expression and function in tumor-related immune cells. We provide a rationale for further investigations of P2 purinergic receptors within the TME to better define the mechanistic pathways of inflammation-mediate tumorigenesis and explore P2 purinergic receptors as potential targets for novel immunotherapeutic approaches.
期刊介绍:
Nucleotides and nucleosides are primitive biological molecules that were utilized early in evolution both as intracellular energy sources and as extracellular signalling molecules. ATP was first identified as a neurotransmitter and later as a co-transmitter with all the established neurotransmitters in both peripheral and central nervous systems. Four subtypes of P1 (adenosine) receptors, 7 subtypes of P2X ion channel receptors and 8 subtypes of P2Y G protein-coupled receptors have currently been identified. Since P2 receptors were first cloned in the early 1990’s, there is clear evidence for the widespread distribution of both P1 and P2 receptor subtypes in neuronal and non-neuronal cells, including glial, immune, bone, muscle, endothelial, epithelial and endocrine cells.
