| Abstract | Purinergic signal transduction mechanisms have been appreciated as a complex intercellular signalling network that plays an important regulatory role in both short- and long-term processes in practically every living cell. One of the most intriguing aspects of the field is the participation of ATP and other purine nucleotides in the determination of cell fate and the way they direct cells towards proliferation, differentiation or apoptosis, thereby possibly taking part in promoting or preventing malignant transformation. In this review, following a very brief introduction to the historical aspects of purinergic signalling and a concise overview of the structure of and signal transduction pathways coupled to P2 purinergic receptors, the current theories concerning the possible ways how extracellular ATP can alter the function of tumour cells and the effectiveness of anticancer therapies are discussed, including pharmacological, nutritional, vasoactive and ‘anti-antioxidant’ actions of the nucleotide. The effects of ATP on animals inoculated with human tumours and on patients with cancer are looked over next, and then an overview of the literature regarding the expression and presumed functions of P2 purinoceptors on tumour cells in vitro is presented, sorted out according to the relevant special clinical fields. The article is closed by reviewing the latest developments in the diagnostic use of P2 purinergic receptors as tumour markers and prognostic factors, while discussing some of the difficulties and pitfalls of the therapeutic use of ATP analogues. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
