Purine metabolism controls innate lymphoid cell function and protects against intestinal injury [PDF]

open access: hybridImmunology and Cell Biology, 2018
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a condition of chronic inflammatory intestinal disorder with increasing prevalence but limited effective therapies. The purine metabolic pathway is involved in various inflammatory processes including IBD. However, the

Nitric oxide disrupts bacterial cytokinesis by poisoning purine metabolism

open access: yesScience Advances, 2020
An inflammatory mediator interrupts early steps in bacterial cell division by inhibiting nucleoside triphosphate synthesis. Cytostasis is the most salient manifestation of the potent antimicrobial activity of nitric oxide (NO), yet the mechanism by which

Highly efficient biosynthesis of hypoxanthine in Escherichia coli and transcriptome-based analysis of the purine metabolism.

open access: yesACS Synthetic Biology, 2020
Nucleosides and purine analogs have multiple functions in cell physiology, food additives, and pharmaceuticals, and some are produced on a large scale using different microorganisms. However, biosynthesis of purines is still lacking. In the present study,

Chronic stress and antidepressant treatment alter purine metabolism and beta oxidation within mouse brain and serum

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a complex condition with unclear pathophysiology. Molecular disruptions within limbic brain regions and the periphery contribute to depression symptomatology and a more complete understanding the diversity of molecular ...

Cadmium exposure dysregulates purine metabolism and homeostasis across the gut-liver axis in a mouse model

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
Cadmium (Cd) exposure has been associated with the development of enterohepatic circulation disorders and hyperuricemia, but the possible contribution of chronic low-dose Cd exposure to disease progression is still need to be explored.

Purine metabolism in Echinococcus multilocularis

open access: yesComparative 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 ...

Investigating the Vital Role of the Identified Abietic Acid from Helianthus annuus L. Calathide Extract against Hyperuricemia via Human Embryonic Kidney 293T Cell Model

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
To explore the anti-hyperuricemia components in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) calathide extract (SCE), we identified abietic acid (AA) via liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry and found an excellent inhibitor of xanthine oxidase (IC50 = 10.60 µM ...

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 ...

5′-Nucleotidase Plays a Key Role in Uric Acid Metabolism of Bombyx mori

open access: yesCells, 2021
Uric acid (UA) is the end-product in the human purine metabolism pathway. The UA that accumulates in silkworm tissues is excreted as a nitrogen waste product.
