Purinergic signaling has emerged as an important player in cancer progression and is regulated by a series of nucleotidases. Among the enzyme cascade, CD73, which catelyzes AMP breakdown to adenosine, has been found to be overexpressed in many types of cancer. Various factors and mechanisms are employed to regulate expression of CD73.

Unlocking new frontiers: novel immune targets for next-generation cancer immunotherapy [PDF]
Cancer immunotherapy represents a transformative strategy in modern oncology, utilizing the body’s immune system to recognize and eliminate malignant cells with precision. Unlike traditional therapies, which often directly target the tumor, immunotherapy

CD73: Friend or Foe in Lung Injury
Ecto-5′-nucleotidase (CD73) plays a strategic role in calibrating the magnitude and chemical nature of purinergic signals that are delivered to immune cells. Its primary function is to convert extracellular ATP to adenosine in concert with ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase-1 (CD39) in normal tissues to limit an excessive immune response in

Evidence for coordinated induction and repression of ecto-5'-nucleotidase (CD73) and the A2a adenosine receptor in a human B cell line [PDF]
In the human B cell line P493-6 two mitogenic signals, the EpsteinBarr virus nuclear antigen 2 (EBNA2) and myc, can be independently regulated by means of an estrogen receptor fusion construct or an inducible expression vector, respectively.

NT5E (CD73) is epigenetically regulated in malignant melanoma and associated with metastatic site specificity [PDF]
Background:Novel prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic strategies are urgently required for malignant melanoma. Ecto-5-prime-nucleotidase (NT5E; CD73) overexpression has been reported in several human cancers.

CD73: A Key Player in HIV Persistence [PDF]
Replication of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is suppressed to undetectable levels by effective antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, current therapeutic regimens fail to completely eradicate HIV due to the persistence of latently-infected cells ...

Graft-versus-host disease is enhanced by selective CD73 blockade in mice. [PDF]
CD73 functions as an ecto-5'-nucleotidase to produce extracellular adenosine that has anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive activity. We here demonstrate that CD73 helps control graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in mouse models.
