Expression data from untreated and ATP treated AML blasts

In the present study, we investigated whether, and to what extent, P2Rs and their ligands are involved in the regulation of AML cells. Our findings show that AML blasts express several receptors belonging to the P2X and P2Y family. Although different samples respond differently to ATP and UTP stimulation (reflecting the variability intrinsic to the group of acute myeloid leukemias), all the tested samples appear to be responsive to purinergic signalling, as demonstrated by intracellular calcium mobilization.
