## Abstract Activation of P2Y~2~ receptors by extracellular nucleotides has been shown to induce phenotypic differentiation of human promonocytic U937 cells that is associated with the inflammatory response. The P2Y~2~ receptor agonist, UTP, induced the phosphorylation of the MAP kinases MEK1/2 and
Cell wall compounds of gram-positive bacteria are capable of inducing the biosynthesis of proinflammatory cytokines in CNS cells in a similar way as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of gram-negative bacteria does. Astrocytes, which lack the CD14 LPS receptor, have also been shown to respond to LPS-stimulati
