Ectonucleotidases in Acute and Chronic Inflammation

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Ectonucleotidases are extracellular enzymes with a pivotal role in inflammation that hydrolyse extracellular purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, e.g., ATP, UTP, ADP, UDP, AMP and NAD+. Ectonucleotidases, expressed by virtually all cell types, immune cells

SARM1 is a multi-functional NAD(P)ase with prominent base exchange activity, all regulated bymultiple physiologically relevant NAD metabolites

open access: yesiScience, 2022
Summary: SARM1 is an NAD(P) glycohydrolase and TLR adapter with an essential, prodegenerative role in programmed axon death (Wallerian degeneration). Like other NAD(P)ases, it catalyzes multiple reactions that need to be fully investigated.

Prevention of Postischemic Neurological Deficit by Modulating the Cerebral Cell Expression of ADP-Ribosyl Cyclase (Experimental Study)

open access: yesОбщая реаниматология, 2007
Objective: to study the mechanism that is responsible for impaired neuronal cell electroexcitability and viability, which is associated with modification of ADP-ribosyl cyclase in cerebral ischemic lesion, as well as the possibilities of pathogenet ...

Enzymatic and Chemical Syntheses of Vacor Analogs of Nicotinamide Riboside, NMN and NAD

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2021
It has recently been demonstrated that the rat poison vacor interferes with mammalian NAD metabolism, because it acts as a nicotinamide analog and is converted by enzymes of the NAD salvage pathway. Thereby, vacor is transformed into the NAD analog vacor

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of a New Structural Simplified Analogue of cADPR, a Calcium-Mobilizing Secondary Messenger Firstly Isolated from Sea Urchin Eggs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Herein, we reported on the synthesis of cpIPP, which is a new structurally-reduced analogue of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), a potent Ca2+-releasing secondary messenger that was firstly isolated from sea urchin eggs extracts.

Impaired NAD+ Metabolism in Neuronal Dysfunction in Critical Conditions

open access: yesОбщая реаниматология, 2008
The present views of the pathogenesis of neuronal dysfunction in critical conditions are analyzed, by taking into account of impairments of cellular NAD+ metabolism, the activity of NAD+-converting enzymes, including ADP-ribosyl cyclase/CD38, the ...

CD38: An Immunomodulatory Molecule in Inflammation and Autoimmunity

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
CD38 is a molecule that can act as an enzyme, with NAD-depleting and intracellular signaling activity, or as a receptor with adhesive functions. CD38 can be found expressed either on the cell surface, where it may face the extracellular milieu or the ...

Flavonoid Apigenin Is an Inhibitor of the NAD+ase CD38: Implications for Cellular NAD+ Metabolism, Protein Acetylation, and Treatment of Metabolic Syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Metabolic syndrome is a growing health problem worldwide. It is therefore imperative to develop new strategies to treat this pathology. In the past years, the manipulation of NAD+ metabolism has emerged as a plausible strategy to ameliorate metabolic ...

Changes in NAD/ADP-ribose metabolism in rectal cancer

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2005
The extent of ADP-ribosylation in rectal cancer was compared to that of the corresponding normal rectal tissue. Twenty rectal tissue fragments were collected during surgery from patients diagnosed as having rectal cancer on the basis of pathology results.
