Research progress of P2X7 receptor in inflammatory bowel disease. Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic nonspecific inflammatory disease of the intestine. Its pathogenesis is not yet fully understood. It may be related to heredity, environmental triggers, infection, immune dysfunction and other factors. Purinergic receptor (P2X7R) ligand-gated ion channel is closely related to inflammation and widely expressed in intestinal cells. Previous studies have shown that ATP/P2X7R signal is involved in the pathogenesis of intestinal inflammation, but its specific mechanism needs further study. This article reviews the research progress of P2X7 receptor in inflammatory bowel disease.
