Inhibition of IMP-specific cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase and adenosine formation in rat polymorphonuclear leucocytes by 5'-deoxy-5'-isobutylthio derivatives of adenosine and inosine.

ABSTRACT: 1. The partially purified IMP-specific cytosolic 5'-nucleotidases from rat liver, polymorphonuclear leucocytes and heart were inhibited by 50% by 2-6 mM-5'-deoxy-5'-isobutylthioadenosine (IBTA) or 7-10 mM-5'-deoxy-5'-isobutylthioinosine (IBTI). IBTA and IBTI inhibited the rat liver and polymorphonuclear-leucocyte enzymes non-competitively. IBTA, but not IBTI, also inhibited the ecto-5'-nucleotidase of polymorphonuclear leucocytes. IBTI was, by contrast, a more potent inhibitor than IBTA of the AMP-specific soluble 5'-nucleotidase from pigeon heart. 2. During 2-deoxyglucose-induced ATP-catabolism in rat polymorphonuclear leucocytes, adenosine formation was inhibited by approx. 80% by 3 mM-IBTA and by approx. 70% by 7 mM-IBTI. 3. The results show that 5'-modified nucleosides are inhibitors of cytosolic 5'-nucleotidases and that they penetrate to inhibit their target enzymes in intact cells. Such inhibitors may be useful to clarify the mechanisms of adenosine formation and to prevent mononucleotide hydrolysis during ATP breakdown.

Adenosine production inside rat polymorphonuclear leucocytes.

Project description:Adenosine synthesis was studied during 2-deoxyglucose-induced ATP catabolism in intact rat polymorphonuclear leucocytes. When both adenosine kinase (EC 2.7.1.20) and adenosine deaminase (EC 3.5.4.4) were selectively inhibited, adenosine accumulated. Adenosine formation took place inside the intact cells by a metabolic pathway independent of the ecto-5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5). Distinct metabolic pathways are proposed for adenosine production from intracellular or extracellular nucleotides.

Role of adenosine deaminase, ecto-(5'-nucleotidase) and ecto-(non-specific phosphatase) in cyanide-induced adenosine monophosphate catabolism in rat polymorphonuclear leucocytes.

Project description:1. The role of adenosine deaminase (EC 3.5.4.4), ecto-(5'-nucleotidase) (EC 3.1.3.5) and ecto-(non-specific phosphatase) in the CN-induced catabolism of adenine nucleotides in intact rat polymorphonuclear leucocytes was investigated by inhibiting the enzymes in situ. 2. KCN (10mM for 90 min) induced a 20-30% fall in ATP concentration accompanied by an approximately equimolar increase in hypoxanthine, ADP, AMP and adenosine concentrations were unchanged, and IMP and inosine remained undetectable ( less than 0.05 nmol/10(7) cells). 3. Cells remained 98% intact, as judged by loss of the cytoplasmic enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27). 4. Pentostatin (30 microM), a specific inhibitor of adenosine deaminase, completely inhibited hypoxanthine production from exogenous adenosine (55 microM), but did not black CN-induced hypoxanthine production or cause adenosine accumulation in intact cells. This implied that IMP rather than adenosine was an intermediate in AMP breakdown in response to cyanide. 5. Antibodies raised against purified plasma-membrane 5'-nucleotidase inhibited the ecto-(5'-nucleotidase) by 95-98%. Non-specific phosphatases were blocked by 10 mM-sodium beta-glycerophosphate. 6. These two agents together blocked hypoxanthine production from exogenous AMP and IMP (200 microM) by more than 90%, but had no effect on production from endogenous substrates. 7. These data suggest that ectophosphatases do not participate in CN-induced catabolism of intracellular AMP in rat polymorphonuclear leucocytes. 8. A minor IMPase, not inhibited by antiserum, was detected in the soluble fraction of disrupted cells.

The mechanism of adenosine production in rat polymorphonuclear leucocytes.

Project description:Adenosine production in intact rat polymorphonuclear leucocytes was studied during 2-deoxyglucose-induced ATP catabolism. A cell-free system containing the cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) as the only phosphohydrolase was also studied. The rate of adenosine formation in both intact cells and the cell-free system showed a similar dependence on energy charge (([ATP] + 1/2 [ADP]/([ATP] + [ADP] + [AMP])), being maximal only at values close to 0.8. Sufficient cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase was present in intact cells to explain the observed rate of adenosine formation. We conclude that the cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase is responsible for adenosine production in rat polymorphonuclear leucocytes. This mechanism provides a direct biochemical link between the energy status of a cell and the rate of adenosine formation.

Metabolic fingerprint of insulin resistance in human polymorphonuclear leucocytes.

Project description:The present study was aimed at determining the metabolic profile of PMNs in obese subjects, and to explore its potential relationship with insulin resistance (IR). To achieve this goal, a pilot clinical study was performed using PMNs from 17 patients with obesity and IR, and 17 lean controls without IR, which was validated in an additional smaller cohort (consisting of 10 patients and 10 controls). PMNs were isolated from peripheral blood and nuclear magnetic resonance was used to perform the metabolomic analysis. A total of 48 metabolites were quantified. The main metabolic change found in PMNs was a significant increase in 2-aminoisobutyric acid with a direct correlation with HOMA-IR (p<0.001), BMI (p<0.000001) and waist circumference (p<0.000001). By contrast, a decrease of 3-hydroxyisovalerate was observed with an inverse correlation with HOMA-IR (p = 0.001), BMI (p = 0.001) and waist circumference (p = 0.0001). Notably, the metabolic profile in plasma was different than that obtained in PMNs. In summary, our results suggest that the change in 3-hydroxyisovalerate and 2-aminoisobutyric is the key metabolic fingerprint in PMNs of obese subjects with IR. In addition, our methodology could be an easy and reliable tool for monitoring the effect of treatments in the setting of precision medicine.

Anti-apoptotic effects of human gingival mesenchymal stromal cells on polymorphonuclear leucocytes.

Project description:ObjectivesPolymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNs) constitute the first line of host defence and are crucial in maintaining periodontal health. Their survival and function are modulated by mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from different origin. Gingival MSCs (GMSCs) play an important role in maintaining oral health and in the initial inflammatory response. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of GMSCs on PMNs apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production.MethodsPMNs were either directly incubated with untreated, interleukin (IL)-1β- or tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α-treated GMSCs or stimulated with their conditioned media. Resulting ROS production was evaluated by dichlorofluorescin diacetate staining, whereas PMNs apoptosis was assessed by Annexin V staining, followed by flow cytometry analysis.ResultsWhile conditioned media of untreated and TNF-α-treated GMSCs did not affect apoptosis of PMNs, it was significantly delayed by conditioned media of GMSCs treated with IL-1β. In direct co-culture, GMSCs exerted anti-apoptotic effects on PMNs independently of the previous stimulation. However, the strongest impact was observed by IL-1β-treated GMSCs. ROS production of PMNs was not influenced by GMSCs or their conditioned media.ConclusionThis study demonstrates for the first time the immunomodulatory properties of GMSCs towards PMNs, revealing that IL-1β enhances anti-apoptotic effects of GMSCs.

Inhibition by adenosine of reactive oxygen metabolite production by human polymorphonuclear leucocytes.

Project description:The stimulation of reactive oxygen metabolite production from human polymorphonuclear leucocytes by chemotactic peptide (fMet-Leu-Phe) was inhibited by adenosine with a K0.5 of 0.6 microM. Dipyridamole (0.1 microM), an inhibitor of adenosine uptake, did not prevent the effect of adenosine. Non-metabolizable analogues could substitute for adenosine in the potency order N-ethoxycarboxamideadenosine greater than 2-chloroadenosine greater than adenosine greater than L-N6-(phenylisopropyl)adenosine = D-N6-(phenylisopropyl)adenosine, which is characteristic of an A2 adenosine receptor. The effects of adenosine, 2-chloroadenosine and N-ethoxycarboxamideadenosine were reversed by 8-phenyltheophylline. When endocytosis was inhibited with cytochalasin B, cells were still susceptible to adenosine receptor agonists. 2-Chloroadenosine (10 microM) reduced the activation of respiration in response to chemotactic peptide from 3.3-fold to 1.4-fold. Activation of reactive oxygen metabolite production in response to latex beads was not reversed by adenosine or its analogues. It was concluded that adenosine acts at an A2 adenosine receptor to antagonize the activation of polymorphonuclear leucocytes by those stimuli, such as chemotactic peptide, which cause an increase in the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration.

Redistribution of membrane-bound and cytosolic action in rabbit polymorphonuclear leucocytes during phagocytosis.

Project description:In the analysis of highly purified surface membrane from both resting and phagocytosing neutrophils an increase in the surface membrane associated actin has been demonstrated. This change at the cell periphery is associated with a coincident increase in the F-actin content of the cells following stimulation of the cells by exposure to opsonized Oil Red O droplets. The actin which is newly associated with the surface membrane of the phagocytosing cells was more susceptible to removal by detergent than the membrane-associated actin in resting cells and it was also noted that the F-actin associated with phagosomes was readily disrupted by detergent. A redistribution of the surface membrane glycoprotein 5'-nucleotidase was observed during phagocytosis, but no change in distribution of a 125I-labelled Lens culinaris lectin was observed during the entire phagocytic process.

Recent advances in structure and function of cytosolic IMP-GMP specific 5'-nucleotidase II (cN-II).

Project description:Cytosolic 5' nucleotidase II (cN-II) catalyses both the hydrolysis of a number of nucleoside monophosphates (e.g., IMP + H₂O--> inosine + Pi), and the phosphate transfer from a nucleoside monophosphate donor to the 5' position of a nucleoside acceptor (e.g., IMP + guanosine --> inosine + GMP). The enzyme protein functions through the formation of a covalent phosphoenzyme intermediate, followed by the phosphate transfer either to water (phosphatase activity) or to a nucleoside (phosphotransferase activity). It has been proposed that cN-II regulates the intracellular concentration of IMP and GMP and the production of uric acid. The enzyme might also have a potential therapeutic importance, since it can phosphorylate some anti-tumoral and antiviral nucleoside analogues that are not substrates of known kinases. In this review we summarise our recent studies on the structure, regulation and function of cN-II. Via a site-directed mutagenesis approach, we have identified the amino acids involved in the catalytic mechanism and proposed a structural model of the active site. A series of in vitro studies suggests that cN-II might contribute to the regulation of 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP) level, through the so-called oxypurine cycle, and in the production of intracellular adenosine, formed by ATP degradation.

Bovine cytosolic IMP/GMP-specific 5'-nucleotidase: cloning and expression of active enzyme in Escherichia coli.

Project description:A cDNA coding for bovine cytosolic IMP/GMP-specific 5'-nucleotidase endowed with phosphotransferase activity was cloned from calf thymus RNA, by 5' and 3' rapid amplification of cDNA ends protocols (5' and 3' RACE). Two products were isolated: a 5' RACE 1.6 kb fragment and a 3' RACE 2.0 kb fragment, with an overlapping region of 505 bp, leading to a total length of approx. 2951 bp. The similarity in the coding region to that of the human 5'-nucleotidase cDNA sequence [Oka, Matsumoto, Hosokawa and Inoue (1994) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 205, 917-922], indirectly identified as a 5'-nucleotidase, was 94% and the deduced amino acid sequences were 99.5% identical. The bovine cDNA sequence included the sequences codifying for six peptides obtained from 5'-nucleotidase/phosphotransferase purified from calf thymus. Northern blots of human mRNA species from different tissues showed a 3.6 kb mRNA expressed at equal levels in most tissues. The cDNA was cloned into a pET-28c expression vector and the protein obtained after induction had a molecular mass of 61 kDa under SDS/PAGE. It exhibited both 5'-nucleotidase and phosphotransferase activity, as well as immunological and kinetic properties similar to those of the enzyme purified from calf thymus. This is the first time that a fully active recombinant 5'nucleotidase has been described.

Phosphorylation of ribavirin and viramidine by adenosine kinase and cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase II: Implications for ribavirin metabolism in erythrocytes.

Project description:Many nucleoside analog drugs, such as ribavirin and viramidine, are activated or metabolized in vivo through 5'-phosphorylation. In this report, we determined the steady-state kinetic parameters for 5'-monophosphorylation of ribavirin and viramidine by adenosine kinase. The apparent Km for ribavirin is 540 microM, and k(cat) is 1.8 min-1. Its catalytic efficiency of 3.3 x 10(-3) min-1 . microM-1 is 1,200-fold lower than that of adenosine. In contrast to the common belief that ribavirin is exclusively phosphorylated by adenosine kinase, cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase II was found to catalyze ribavirin phosphorylation in vitro. The reaction is optimally stimulated by the physiological concentration of ATP or 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate. In phosphate-buffered saline plus ATP and 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate, the apparent Km for ribavirin is 88 microM, and k(cat) is 4.0 min-1. These findings suggest that cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase II may be involved in ribavirin phosphorylation in vivo. Like ribavirin, viramidine was found to be phosphorylated by either adenosine kinase or cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase II, albeit with a much lower activity. The catalytic efficiency for viramidine phosphorylation is 10- to 330-fold lower than that of ribavirin, suggesting that other nucleoside kinase(s) may be involved in viramidine phosphorylation in vivo. Both ribavirin and viramidine are not phosphorylated by deoxycytidine kinase and uridine-cytidine kinase. The coincidence of presence of high concentrated 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate in erythrocytes suggests that cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase II could play an important role in phosphorylating ribavirin and contribute to anabolism of ribavirin triphosphate in erythrocytes. Elucidation of ribavirin and viramidine phosphorylation mechanism should shed light on their in vivo metabolism, especially the ribavirin-induced hemolytic anemia in erythrocytes.
