Purinergic P2X(7) receptor regulates lung surfactant secretion in a paracrine manner

Alveolar epithelium is composed of alveolar epithelial cells of type I (AEC I) and type II (AEC II). AEC II secrete lung surfactant by means of exocytosis. P2X(7) receptor (P2X(7)R), a P2 purinergic receptor, has been implicated in the regulation of synaptic transmission and inflammation. Here, we r...
