15331767 Mason HS, Bourke S, Kemp PJ: Selective modulation of ligand-gated P2X purinoceptor channels by acute hypoxia is mediated by reactive oxygen species. Mol Pharmacol. 2004 Dec;66(6):1525-35. Epub 2004 Aug 26.

Inhibitors of the mitochondrial electron transport chain that reduce (rotenone and myxothiazol) or increase (antimycin A) the production of ROS altered the magnitude of P2X2-mediated currents.
Purinergic excitatory synapses use ATP to mediate fast synaptic transmission via activation of P2X receptor cation channels, and this response can be altered by acute hypoxia.

P2X receptor channels (P2XRs) are allosterically modulated by several compounds, mainly acting at the ectodomain of the receptor.
Because mercury could act as an oxidative stress inducer, we also tested whether hydrogen peroxide (H (2) O (2)) and mitochondrial stress inducers myxothiazol and rotenone mimicked mercury effects.
