Abstract:
1. A model is presented for adenosine transport and metabolism in different steady states. The model considers steady-state equations for metabolic enzymes based on information from the literature on their kinetic behaviour. 2. Assuming that extracellular adenosine and inosine are translocated by three transporters, we have devised rate equations for these nucleoside transporters which are valid when both nucleosides are present. Since the Na(+)-independent transporter can either incorporate nucleosides into the cell or release them, various conditions have been simulated in which inosine was

AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) is a major regulator of energy metabolism and a promising target for development of new treatments for type 2 diabetes and cancer. 5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-d-ribofuranoside (AICAR), an adenosine analog, is a standard positive control for AMPK activation in cell-based assays. Some broadly used cell culture media, such as minimal essential medium α (MEMα), contain high concentrations of adenosine and other nucleosides. We determined whether such media alter AICAR action in skeletal muscle and cancer cells. In nucleoside-free media, AICAR stimulated AMPK acti

Abstract:
Abstract Cytotoxic nucleoside analogues are largely used in the treatment of hematological malignancies and solid tumors. Their mechanism of action, based on interference with the metabolism of physiological nucleosides, targets well known gene products involved in transmembrane transport and intracellular metabolism. Several studies have shown correlations between the expression level of some of these genes and the clinical response to nucleoside analogue-based treatments. We proposed to study the potential involvement of genomic sequence variation in inter-individual heterogeneity of the exp

Abstract:
The catabolism of adenine nucleotides (AdN) in rat soleus muscle (predominantly slow twitch) is very different from that in fast-twitch muscle. AMP deaminase is highly inhibited during brief (3 min) intense (120 tetani/min) in situ stimulation, resulting in little inosine 5'-monophosphate (IMP) accumulation (0.21 mumol/g). Even with ligation of the femoral artery during the same brief intense contraction conditions there is surprisingly little increase in IMP (0.37 mumol/g), although AdN depletion is evident (-1.30 mumol/g). We have tested the hypothesis that accumulation of purine nucleosides

In this study, we investigated for the first time the phosphorylation of NRTI in human RBC.

Abstract:
Pyrimidine nucleoside uridine plays a critical role in maintaining cellular function and energy metabolism. In addition to its role in nucleoside synthesis, uridine and its derivatives contribute to reduction of cytotoxicity and suppression of drug-induced hepatic steatosis. Uridine is mostly present in blood and cerebrospinal fluid, where it contributes to the maintenance of basic cellular functions affected by UPase enzyme activity, feeding habits, and ATP depletion. Uridine metabolism depends on three stages: de novo synthesis, salvage synthesis pathway and catabolism, and homeostasis, whic

Abstract Diamond-Blackfan Anemia (DBA) is a rare childhood bone marrow failure disorder, characterized by the presence of red cell aplasia, congenital abnormalities, and increased levels of adenosine deaminase (ADA). Haploinsufficiency of ribosomal proteins (RPs) due to mutations in RPS19 and RPL11 occurs approximately 25% and 5% of DBA patients, respectively. The pathogenesis of DBA has been associated with activation of p53, but the mechanism of how this leads to the erythroid defect in DBA patients is not well understood.

Purine salvage pathways in cultured endothelial cells of macrovascular (pig aorta) and microvascular (guinea pig coronary system) origin were investigated by measuring the incorporation of radioactive purine bases (adenine or hypoxanthine) or nucleosides (adenosine or inosine) into purine nucleotides. These precursors were used at initial extracellular concentrations of 0.1, 5, and 500 μM. In both types of endothelial cells, purine nucleotide synthesis occurred with all four substrates. Aortic endothelial cells salvaged adenine best among purines and nucleosides when applied at 0.1 μM. At 5 an

Sterile alpha motif and histidine-aspartate domain-containing protein 1 (SAMHD1) is a recently discovered enzyme that plays a central role in nucleotide metabolism and innate immunity. SAMHD1 has deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) triphosphohydrolase activity that depletes the dNTP substrates required for DNA synthesis in cells. The involvement of SAMHD1 in biological processes as varied as viral restriction, endogenous retroelement control, cancer, and modulation of anticancer/antiviral nucleoside drug efficacy makes it a valuable target for the development of small-molecule inhibitors.

The livers were freeze-clamped after 30 min, and extracts were made for the analysis of metabolites, cofactors, purine bases, and nucleosides; homogenates were made for the measurement of the activities and kinetic parameters of seven enzymes that participate in purine salvage.
