The Role of Purine Metabolism and Uric Acid in Postnatal Neurologic Development

Molecules
This review explores the essential roles of purine metabolism including the catabolic product, uric acid, in the development of dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta. The high energy requirements of the substantia nigra pars compacta

Integrative analysis of circadian transcriptome and metabolic network reveals the role of de novo purine synthesis in circadian control of cell cycle.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2015
Metabolism is the major output of the circadian clock in many organisms. We developed a computational method to integrate both circadian gene expression and metabolic network.

Purine metabolism in Echinococcus multilocularis

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1998
The activities of the enzymes in Echinococcus multilocularis metacestodes involved in purine salvage were studied by HPLC. As in most parasites, this cestode relies entirely on salvage of preformed bases and nucleosides for its purine requirement. Therefore, these enzymes may be targets for drugs in the chemotherapeutic treatment of diseases caused by ...

Purine metabolism in plant pathogenic fungi

Frontiers in Microbiology
In eukaryotic cells, purine metabolism is the way to the production of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) and plays key roles in various biological processes.

Integrated Microbiome and Metabolome Analysis Reveals Hypothalamic‐Comorbidities Related Signatures in Craniopharyngioma

Advanced Science
Craniopharyngioma (CP) is an intracranial tumor with high mortality and morbidity. Though biologically benign, CP will damage the hypothalamus, inducing comorbidities such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, and cognitive impairments.

Metformin improves HPRT1-targeted purine metabolism and repairs NR4A1-mediated autophagic flux by modulating FoxO1 nucleocytoplasmic shuttling to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis

Cell Death and Disease
Osteoporosis is a major degenerative metabolic bone disease that threatens the life and health of postmenopausal women. Owing to limitations in detection methods and prevention strategy awareness, the purpose of osteoporosis treatment is more to delay ...

Complex coordinated extracellular metabolism: Acid phosphatases activate diluted human leukocyte proteins to generate energy flow as NADPH from purine nucleotide ribose

Redox Biology, 2016
Complex metabolism is thought to occur exclusively in the crowded intracellular environment. Here we report that diluted enzymes from lysed human leukocytes produce extracellular energy.

Differential metabolic responses of mouse Leydig and spermatogonia cells to radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure

Frontiers in Public Health
IntroductionAlthough existing studies have shown that radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) have a variety of effects on living organisms, the specific impact of RF-EMFs on the metabolism of reproductive cells and their underlying mechanisms ...

Fibroblast growth factor 2 modulates extracellular purine metabolism by upregulating ecto-5′-nucleotidase and adenosine deaminase in cultured rat spinal cord astrocytes

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2019
Purinergic signaling via ATP and adenosine produced by astrocytes is one pathway underlying neuron–glia interactions in the central nervous system (CNS). In production of purines, extracellular metabolism of released purines via ecto-enzymes is important.
