Regulation of the T Cell Response by CD39 [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Immunology, 2016
The ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 1 (ENTPD1, or CD39) catalyzes the phosphohydrolysis of extracellular ATP (eATP) and ADP (eADP) released under conditions of inflammatory stress and cell injury. CD39 generates AMP, which is in turn used by the ecto-5'-nucleotidase CD73 to synthesize adenosine.

Reducing Lung ATP Levels and Alleviating Asthmatic Airway Inflammation through Adeno-Associated Viral Vector-Mediated CD39 Expression

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2021
Asthma is a chronic respiratory inflammatory disease. Patients usually suffer long-term symptoms and high medical expenses. Extracellular ATP (eATP) has been identified as a danger signal in innate immunity and serves as a potent inflammatory mediator ...

Expansion in CD39⁺ CD4⁺ immunoregulatory t cells and rarity of Th17 cells in HTLV-1 infected patients is associated with neurological complications. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013
HTLV-1 infection is associated with several inflammatory disorders, including the neurodegenerative condition HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). It is unclear why a minority of infected subjects develops HAM/TSP.

Host CD39 Deficiency Affects Radiation-Induced Tumor Growth Delay and Aggravates Radiation-Induced Normal Tissue Toxicity

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2020
The ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase (CD39)/5′ ectonuclotidase (CD73)-dependent purinergic pathway emerges as promising cancer target. Yet, except for own previous work revealing a pathogenic role of CD73 and adenosine in radiation-induced ...

A Novel Prognostic Biomarker of Luminal Breast Cancer: High CD39 Expression Is Related to Poor Survival

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
BackgroundCD39 is one of the functional surface markers for T regulatory cells, the prognostic role and immune-related effects of CD39 in luminal breast cancer (BC) patients has not been evaluated yet.

Development of aortic endothelial cells to express CD37 and CD73 isolated from alpha 1,3-galactosyltransferase knock-out and MCP expressing pig

open access: yesJournal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2018
Acute vascular rejection has been known as a main barrier occurring in a xenograted tissue of alpha 1,3-galactosyltransferase knock-out (GalT KO) pig into a non-human primate (NHP). Adenosine which is a final metabolite following sequential hydrolysis of

A gut feeling for CD39 [PDF]

open access: yesScience-Business eXchange, 2009
American and German researchers have reported that enhancing CD39 activity in the gut could help treat inflammatory bowel disease. The researchers are now developing a soluble form of CD39 that they hope could become an infusible therapeutic to treat colitis and Crohn's disease.

A humanized monoclonal antibody targeting CD39 with novel mechanism for cancer treatment

open access: yesMedicine in Drug Discovery, 2021
ATP-adenosine signal axis plays an import role in tumor immune regulation. ATP released by tumor cells can promote antitumor immunity, and adenosine can suppress the immune response.

Purinergic Signaling as a Regulator of Th17 Cell Plasticity. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
T helper type 17 (Th17) lymphocytes, characterized by the production of interleukin-17 and other pro-inflammatory cytokines, are present in intestinal lamina propria and have been described as important players driving intestinal inflammation.

Identification and Characterization of CD39/Vascular ATP Diphosphohydrolase [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1996
Vascular ATP diphosphohydrolase (ATPDase) is a plasma membrane-bound enzyme that hydrolyses extracellular ATP and ADP to AMP. Analysis of amino acid sequences available from various mammalian and avian ATPDases revealed their close homology with CD39, a putative B-cell activation marker.
