Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic representation of the role of P2X7Rs in pro-angiogenic signaling in response to hypoxic cardiomyocytes. ( a ) Hypoxic cardiomyocytes activate P2X7R, which stimulates cardiac pro-angiogenic signaling through HIF-1α/VEGF. ( b ) A740003, a P2X7R antagonist, inhibits pro-angiogenic signaling in hypoxic cardiomyocytes by inhibiting the HIF-1α/VEGF pathway. Abbreviations: eATP, extracellular adenosine 5-triphosphate; iATP, intracellular adenosine 5-triphosphate; HIF-1α, Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor. Blue circles represent ATP, while the red circle represents the P2X7R antagonist A740003. (Created with BioRender.com ).

Article Title: Poly (I:C)-induced inflammation requires the activation of toll-like receptor 3/Ca 2+ /CaMKII/pannexin 1-dependent signaling

doi: 10.7150/thno.100687

Figure Lengend Snippet: Poly (I:C)-induced activation of pannexin1 hemichannel depends on toll-like receptor 3, Ca 2+ mobilization, and P2X 7 R activity in RAW cells. A-C. Representative records of Fura-2 fluorescence in RAW cells stimulated with Poly (I:C) (A) or assayed in combination with 30 µM TLR3i (B), or 20 µM A740003 (C). In B and C, 5 µM A23187 Ca 2+ ionophore was used for demonstrating membrane integrity. Cells were loaded with Fura-2 and recording was made in the presence of 1 mM Na 3 VO 4 (n = 3). D . RAW cells were transfected with Lck-GcamP6 and 24 h later GcamP6 fluorescence was evaluated in response to Poly (I:C) or 0.5 mM ATP (n = 3). E . Area under the curve from A-C. F . DAPI uptake rates of RAW cells assayed in response to 10 µg/mL Poly (I:C) or preincubated with 30 µM TLR3i, 20 µM A740003, 5 µM XeC or 10 µM BAPTA ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001.
