Targeting CD39 in cancer reveals an extracellular ATP- and inflammasome-driven tumor immunity [PDF]
We explored the mechanism of action of CD39 antibodies that inhibit ectoenzyme CD39 conversion of extracellular ATP (eATP) to AMP and thus potentially augment eATP-P2-mediated proinflammatory responses.

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 ...

P2Y6 receptor inhibition perturbs CCL2-evoked signalling in human monocytic and peripheral blood mononuclear cells [PDF]
This work is supported the British Heart Foundation [grant number PG/13/22/ 30077]. Deposited in PMC for immediate release.The chemokine CCL2 serves to target circulating monocytes and other leukocytes to tissue during innate immune responses, and ...

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

CD39 Modulates Endothelial Cell Activation and Apoptosis [PDF]
CD39 is the dominant vascular nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase (NTPDase) that exerts major effects on platelet reactivity by the regulated hydrolysis of extracellular adenine nucleotides. The effects of NTPDases on endothelial cell (EC) activation and apoptosis remain unexplored.Recombinant replication-deficient adenoviruses were constructed ...

Deletion of CD39 on natural killer cells attenuates hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury in mice [PDF]
Natural killer (NK) cells play crucial roles in innate immunity and express CD39 (Ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 1 [E-NTPD1]), a rate-limiting ectonucleotidase in the phosphohydrolysis of extracellular nucleotides to adenosine.

CD39 and CD161 Modulate Th17 Responses in Crohn's Disease [PDF]
CD39 (ENTPD1) is expressed by subsets of pathogenic human CD4+ T cells, such as T helper type 17 (Th17) cells. These Th17 cells are considered important in intestinal inflammation, such as seen in Crohn’s disease. Recently, CD161 (NKR-P1A) has been shown

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

Low expression of CD39 and CD73 genes in centenarians compared with octogenarians [PDF]
Ageing involves a progressive decline of the body’s regulatory systems including immune system. Adenosine regulates immune function by interaction with its receptors, mainly adenosine A2A receptor, present on the surface of immune cells.
