Abstract

Oligodendrocytes (OLs) play a crucial role in myelination during the development and repair of the central nervous system. ATP serves not only as an important signaling molecule involving in the intercellular communications, but also as an energetic molecule, with its purinergic receptor subtypes widely present in neurons and glial cells. These subtypes are composed of two purinergic receptors: P1 and P2: The former are primarily activated by adenosine, and the latter mainly by ATP, ADP, and UTP. The two receptors paly their respective role in various regions of the CNS under physiological or pathological conditions through distinct mechanisms. In this paper, we review recent literature on the roles and mechanisms of the purinergic receptors in OL development, myelination, and myelin repair. It may be of great significance for further understanding the role of purinergic signaling in demyelinating diseases and myelin dysplasia and exploring potential therapeutic targets.
