This includes the cellular responses to purine nucleotides, such as ATP, and nucleosides, such as adenosine, that act as extracellular messengers playing a role through specific nucleotide and adenosine receptors in all systems. Indeed, in addition to their role in cellular metabolism, nucleotides as well as nucleosides are extracellular mediators that activate biological responses in all cells. Cells subjected to activation or shear or mechanical stress release nucleotides such as ATP, ADP, UTP, and UDP in large amounts. All cells can release nucleotides in a controlled fashion [1]. The mechanisms of nucleotide release have been the focus of intense research activities but are still not fully understood. While activated platelets and neurons release nucleotides by exocytosis, neutrophils, and T lymphocytes use pannexin-1 hemichannels for nucleotide efflux, some cells also constitutively release nucleotides.
