The aim: This study was carried out to examine the presence of P2Y4 receptors in rat epidermal tissue and how their in vivo activation leads to histological and genetic changes. Materials and methods: Thirty-six Wistar rats were separated into six groups each of six rats, the control group and five injected groups with increasing concentrations of ATP intradermally (0.1, 5.0, 10.0, 50.0, 100.0 μg/ml). The histological and genetic examination was performed from excised tissues. Results: Noticeable histological thickening of the epidermal layer in rats injected with high concentrations of ATP. No apparent histological damage was seen in all injected groups. The genetic expression seems to also increase following exposure to variable concentrations of ATP. Conclusions: Purinergic receptors activated by ATP molecules are highly involved in the development of adult tissues. Their precise location within the epidermal layer indicated their importance in cellular proliferation and differentiation of epidermal cells. Excessive exposure to ATP results in their robust genetic ectopic over expression indicative of increased cellular activity.
