Simultaneous quantification of 12 different nucleotides and nucleosides released from renal epithelium and in human urine samples using ion-pair reversed-phase HPLC

TL;DR: The ion-pair reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography ultraviolet (UV)-coupled method was successfully and reproducibly used to quantify picomolar to nanomolar concentrations of nucleosides and nucleotides in isotonic and hypotonic cell buffers that transiently bathed M1 cells, and urine samples from normal subjects and overactive bladder patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

The relationship between P2X4 and P2X7: a physiologically important interaction?

TL;DR: This review will analyze the current literature regarding interactions between P2X4 and P2x7 and assess the potential impact of these with respect to renal function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emerging key roles for P2X receptors in the kidney

TL;DR: This review summarizes the current evidence for the involvement of P2XR in the regulation of renal tubular and vascular function, and highlights the novel data describing their putative roles in regulating physiological and pathophysiological processes in the kidney.
Journal ArticleDOI

Urinary ATP and visualization of intracellular bacteria: a superior diagnostic marker for recurrent UTI in renal transplant recipients?

TL;DR: Investigation of urinalysis techniques in a cohort of Renal transplant recipients suggests urinary ATP concentration combined with detection of intracellular bacteria in shed urinary epithelial cells may be a sensitive means by which to detect ‘occult’ infection in RTRs.
