Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020 It is well established that altered purinergic signaling contributes to vascular dysfunction in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Red blood cells (RBCs) serve as an important pool for circulating ATP and the release of ATP from RBCs in response to physiological ...

The CD73 immune checkpoint promotes tumor cell metabolic fitness
eLife, 2023 CD73 is an ectonucleotidase overexpressed on tumor cells that suppresses anti-tumor immunity. Accordingly, several CD73 inhibitors are currently being evaluated in the clinic, including in large randomized clinical trials.

Modern Rheumatology, 2010 Adenosine is an endogenous autocoid that regulates a multitude of bodily functions. Its anti-inflammatory actions are well known to rheumatologists since it mediates many of the anti-inflammatory effects of a number of antirheumatic drugs such as methotrexate.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Erythrocytes enhance oxygen-carrying capacity through self-regulation
Frontiers in PhysiologyOnce considered passive carriers of oxygen, erythrocytes are now understood to play active roles in regulating oxygen homeostasis and redox balance. This review examines the molecular mechanisms through which red blood cells adapt to hypoxic conditions ...

The role of adenosine in preconditioning by brief pressure overload in rats
Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2015 Brief pressure overload of the left ventricle reduced myocardial infarct (MI) size in rabbits has been previously reported. Its effects in other species are not known. This study investigates effects of pressure overload and the role of adenosine in rats

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates as molecular glues
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Inositol phosphates (IPs) and phosphoinositides (PIPs) regulate diverse eukaryotic processes. Beyond recruiting signaling proteins or acting as structural cofactors, recent studies suggest they mediate protein–protein interactions as natural molecular glues.

Autoimmunity, 2007 T cells must integrate multiple environmental cues when deciding whether to mount an immunogenic or tolerogenic response. Since not all self-reactive T cells are eliminated during thymic development, mechanisms of peripheral tolerance such as T cell anergy contribute to preventing autoimmunity. Recent studies have implicated extracellular adenosine and
