Abstract excerpt
Nucleotides released from cells due to stress, injury or inflammation, induce mitogenic effects in monocytes via activation of P2Y(2) nucleotide receptors (P2Y(2)Rs). Here we show that P2Y(2) nucleotide receptors in U937 monocytic cells regulate the activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK 1/2) by inducing the clustering of alpha(v) integrins. The activation of phosphatidylinositol...
