AIF1+CSF1R+ MSCs, induced by TNF‐α, act to generate an inflammatory microenvironment and promote hepatocarcinogenesis

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Mesenchymal stem cells subset, educated by TNF‐α, are involved to generate inflammatory microenvironment and promote hepatocarcinogenesis Abstract Background and Aims Increasing evidence suggests that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) home to injured local tissues and the tumor microenvironment in the liver.

Estradiol regulation of nucleotidases in female reproductive tract epithelial cells and fibroblasts. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The use of topical and oral adenosine derivatives in HIV prevention that need to be maintained in tissues and cells at effective levels to prevent transmission prompted us to ask whether estradiol could influence the regulation of catabolic nucleotidase ...

Increased ATP release and CD73-mediated adenosine A2A receptor activation mediate convulsion-associated neuronal damage and hippocampal dysfunction

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2021
Extracellular ATP is a danger signal to the brain and contributes to neurodegeneration in animal models of Alzheimer's disease through its extracellular catabolism by CD73 to generate adenosine, bolstering the activation of adenosine A2A receptors (A2AR).

Some aspects of purinergic signaling in the ventricular system of porcine brain

open access: yesActa Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2011
Background Numerous signaling pathways function in the brain ventricular system, including the most important - GABAergic, glutaminergic and dopaminergic signaling. Purinergic signalization system - comprising nucleotide receptors, nucleotidases, ATP and

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

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
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 5'-nucleotidase S5nA is dispensable for evasion of phagocytosis and biofilm formation in Streptococcus pyogenes.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
5'-nucleotidases are widespread among all domains of life. The enzymes hydrolyze phosphate residues from nucleotides and nucleotide derivatives. In some pathobiontic bacteria, 5'-nucleotidases contribute to immune evasion by dephosphorylating adenosine ...

Crystal structures of the novel cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase IIIB explain its preference for m7GMP.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
5'-nucleotidases catalyze the hydrolytic dephosphorylation of nucleoside monophosphates. As catabolic enzymes they contribute significantly to the regulation of cellular nucleotide levels; misregulation of nucleotide metabolism and nucleotidase ...
