Extracellular ATP and the P2X(7 )receptor in astrocyte-mediated motor neuron death: implications for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

BACKGROUND: During pathology of the nervous system, increased extracellular ATP acts both as a cytotoxic factor and pro-inflammatory mediator through P2X(7 )receptors. In animal models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), astrocytes expressing superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1(G93A)) mutations display...
