Stem cell characteristics in glioblastoma are maintained by the ecto-nucleotidase E-NPP1 [PDF]

Cell Death & Differentiation, 2014
Glioblastomas are highly aggressive brain tumours and are characterised by substantial cellular heterogeneity within a single tumour. A sub-population of glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs) that shares properties with neural precursor cells has been described, exhibiting resistance to therapy and therefore being considered responsible for the high ...

Adenosinergic System Involvement in Ischemic Stroke Patients’ Lymphocytes

Cells, 2020
Adenosine modulates many physiological processes through the interaction with adenosine receptors (ARs) named as A1, A2A, A2B, and A3ARs. During ischemic stroke, adenosine mediates neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects through ARs activation. One

Diabetes‐Induced Dysregulation of Purinergic Signaling in the Bladder Mucosa: Accelerated ATP Hydrolysis and Impaired Adenosine Uptake Promote Underactive Bladder Phenotype

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To explore molecular mechanisms underlying excessive extracellular adenosine (ADO) accumulation in the bladder lamina propria (LP) of mice with type 2 diabetes (T2D) induced by a high‐fat, high‐sucrose diet (HFHSD), conceivably leading to bladder underactivity.

Adenosine—A Regulator of Human Testicular Peritubular Cells

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Extracellular purines, in particular ATP and adenosine, are regulators of physiological and pathophysiological processes throughout the human body. Roles in the human testis are emerging and include actions on peritubular cells, which form the wall of seminiferous tubules.

Impact of Zinc‐Dependent Enzymes on Zinc Deficiency and Inflammatory Response in Ulcerative Colitis

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Zinc (Zn) deficiency occurs in 40% of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Although Zn‐dependent enzymes are involved in intestinal immune regulation, their relationships with Zn deficiency and mucosal inflammation remain unclear.

CD73 is a major regulator of adenosinergic signalling in mouse brain.

PLoS ONE, 2013
CD73 (ecto-5'-nucleotidase) is a cell surface enzyme that regulates purinergic signalling by desphosphorylating extracellular AMP to adenosine. 5'-nucleotidases are known to be expressed in brain, but the expression of CD73 and its putative physiological

High‐altitude headache: Insights into pathophysiology and potential treatment implications

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend High‐altitude headache occurs during prolonged exposure to low oxygen, such as during ascent to high altitude. Several risk factors increase its likelihood, with the degree of hypoxia, often driven by rapid ascent to greater altitudes, being the most prominent factor.

Fluorine‐18‐Labeled Nucleotide Analogs Targeting Ecto‐5'‐Nucleotidase (CD73) for Positron Emission Tomography Imaging of Solid Tumors

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 17, 20 April 2026.
Fluorine‐18‐labeled CD73 inhibitor [18F]PSB‐19427 enables noninvasive PET mapping of CD73 overexpression in triple‐negative breast (TNBC) and pancreatic cancer. For [18F]PSB‐19427, specific binding in human tumor tissues, favorable biodistribution with prolonged blood retention, robust tumor uptake, and superiority to [18F]FDG in a TNBC model ...

The evolving landscape of the Warburg effect in gastric cancer: From molecular mechanisms to targeted therapy

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Hypoxia, oncogenic signaling, transcriptional and epigenetic remodeling, and H. pylori–microbiota interactions drive the Warburg effect in gastric cancer. Enhanced glycolysis and lactate export support biosynthesis, remodel the tumor microenvironment, promote stromal activation and immune suppression, and reveal actionable biomarkers and therapeutic ...

Ectonucleotidases CD39 and CD73 expression levels are independent and inverse predictors of survival in muscle‐invasive bladder cancer

The Journal of Pathology: Clinical Research, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Abstract Bladder cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer‐related mortality worldwide. Long‐term survival is particularly poor in patients with muscle‐invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Modulation of purinergic signaling through the ectonucleotidases CD39 and CD73 has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy in cancer medicine.
