Role of purine signaling in liver immune regulation / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Purines are mainly composed of ATP, NAD + , and nucleic acid. In addition to their key intracellular functions, NAD + , ATP, and their hydrolyzed products (including ADP, AMP, and adenosine) are important extracellular signals involved in physiological processes and pathological conditions. Purine signaling plays an important role in immune regulation of liver microenvironment. This article mainly summarizes the regulatory effect of purine signaling on immune cells in the liver and the effect of purine signaling on the progression of liver diseases by regulating the inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses of immune cells in the liver.
