“…In mammalians, the P2Y subgroup includes eight GPCRs (P2Y 1,2,4,6,11-14 ) that exhibit certain specificities to nucleotides, depending on species [18,46]. The expression of purinoreceptors in MSCs was analyzed previously, and transcripts for multiple P2Y receptors were detected, namely, P2Y 1 , P2Y 2 , P2Y 4 , P2Y 6 , P2Y 11 , P2Y 13 , and P2Y 14 , while P2Y 12 transcripts were not detected in total MSC preparations [47]. Although this P2Y array is sufficient to account for MSC capability to detect ATP, ADP, and UTP, it was impossible to evaluate a contribution of a particular P2Y isoform based on MSC responses to these natural P2Y agonists ( Figure 2B, E, F).…”
