Potential Mechanisms Connecting Purine Metabolism and Cancer Therapy

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Unrestricted cell proliferation is a hallmark of cancer. Purines are basic components of nucleotides in cell proliferation, thus impaired purine metabolism is associated with the progression of cancer.

Purine Metabolism Dysfunctions: Experimental Methods of Detection and Diagnostic Potential

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Purines, such as adenine and guanine, perform several important functions in the cell. They are found in nucleic acids; are structural components of some coenzymes, including NADH and coenzyme A; and have a crucial role in the modulation of energy ...

Targeting purine metabolism in ovarian cancer

open access: yesJournal of Ovarian Research, 2022
Purine, an abundant substrate in organisms, is a critical raw material for cell proliferation and an important factor for immune regulation. The purine de novo pathway and salvage pathway are tightly regulated by multiple enzymes, and dysfunction in ...

Metabolomics and mass spectrometry imaging reveal channeled de novo purine synthesis in cells

open access: yesScience, 2020
Signs of a metabolon in action Eukaryotic cells have a heterogeneous cytoplasm, with compartments large and small, membrane bound or not. Enzymes that catalyze the de novo synthesis of purine nucleotides, which are needed in rapidly dividing cells, are ...

The Intersection of Purine and Mitochondrial Metabolism in Cancer

open access: yesCells, 2021
Nucleotides are essential to cell growth and survival, providing cells with building blocks for DNA and RNA, energy carriers, and cofactors. Mitochondria have a critical role in the production of intracellular ATP and participate in the generation of ...

Coagulase-negative staphylococci release a purine analog that inhibits Staphylococcus aureus virulence

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Coagulase-negative staphylococci and Staphylococcus aureus colonize similar niches in mammals and conceivably compete for space and nutrients. Here, we report that a coagulase-negative staphylococcus, Staphylococcus chromogenes ATCC43764, synthesizes and

The purine nucleoside phosphorylase pnp-1 regulates epithelial cell resistance to infection in C. elegans

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2021
Intestinal epithelial cells are subject to attack by a diverse array of microbes, including intracellular as well as extracellular pathogens. While defense in epithelial cells can be triggered by pattern recognition receptor-mediated detection of microbe-

Rhein modulates host purine metabolism in intestine through gut microbiota and ameliorates experimental colitis

open access: yesTheranostics, 2020
Background: Gut microbiota, which plays a crucial role in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), might have therapeutic benefits for ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. Targeting gut microbiota represents a new treatment strategy for IBD patients.

Purine metabolism regulates DNA repair and therapy resistance in glioblastoma

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Intratumoral genomic heterogeneity in glioblastoma (GBM) is a barrier to overcoming therapy resistance. Treatments that are effective independent of genotype are urgently needed.

Purine and Purine Isostere Derivatives of Ferrocene: An Evaluation of ADME, Antitumor and Electrochemical Properties

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
Novel purine and purine isosteres containing a ferrocene motif and 4,1-disubstituted (11a−11c, 12a−12c, 13a−13c, 14a−14c, 15a−15c, 16a, 23a−23c, 24a−24c, 25a−25c) and 1,4-disubstituted (34a−34c and 35a−35c) 1,2,3-triazole rings were synthesized. The most
