Effects of carbenoxolone and other P2 receptor blockers on the circadian rhythmicity of ATP release. (A) Partial inhibitory effect of the pannexin-1 hemichannel blocker carbenoxolone (CBX). (B) Inhibition by the non-specific P2 receptor blocker PPADS. (C) Lack of an effect of the P2X4R-selective antagonist 5-BDBD. (D) Circadian ATP release was significantly decreased by the P2Y1-selective inhibitor MRS2179 (left panel) and potentiated by the P2Y1R-selective agonist MRS2365 (right panel). (E) Summary graph showing the effects of the tested drugs on ATP release at the end of the incubation period. Data are presented as the means ± SEM of three to four experiments. **P < 0.01 compared to the control.
