Disease relevance of NT5C1A

  • Results: Our results show that cN-I can be transferred by recombinant retroviruses, and that enforced expression of cN-I protects murine fibroblast and hematopoietic progenitor cells from the cytotoxic effects of 2-CdA and/or 5-FU [1].
  • The role of AMP-selective 5'-nucleotidase (cN-I) in the heart, skeletal muscle and brain is highlighted. cN-I action is crucial during ischemia and important for the efficacy of some nucleoside-based drugs and in the regulation of the substrate pool for nucleic acids synthesis [2].
 

High impact information on NT5C1A

  • Messenger RNA for the cytosolic AMP-specific 5'-nucleotidase (CN-I) was not detected in human bronchial epithelial cells, suggesting that mucosal adenosine did not originate from intracellular pools [3].
  • Expression of cN-I also conferred a 22-fold increase in the IC(50) to 2',3'-difluorodeoxycytidine in HEK 293 cells and an 82-fold increase in the IC(50) to 2',3'-dideoxycytidine in Jurkat cells [4].
  • The recombinant cN-I showed high affinity toward dCMP and lower affinity toward AMP and IMP [4].
  • These data indicate that cN-I may play an important role in the regulation of physiological pyrimidine nucleotide pools and may also alter the therapeutic efficacy of certain nucleoside analogs [4].
  • Under the conditions tested in these cells, only cN-I plays a significant role in AMP breakdown to adenosine, whereas only cN-II breaks down IMP to inosine and GMP to guanosine [5].
 

Biological context of NT5C1A

  • No correlation for age, fibre type distribution and AMPD1 genotype was found for whole homogenate nucleotidase, total cN and cN-I using multiple linear regression analysis [6].
 

Anatomical context of NT5C1A

  • Using overexpression in COS-7 cells we showed that mcN-I, like the previously cloned pigeon cN-I, is activated by ADP and catalyses adenosine formation during ATP breakdown [7].
  • We report here a mouse cN-I (mcN-I) cloned from heart and testis [7].
  • The results indicate no changes in the relative expression or catalytic behaviour of cN-I in AMP deaminase-deficient human skeletal muscle, but suggest that increased turnover of AMP by cN-I in working skeletal muscle is due to higher substrate availability of AMP [6].
 

Associations of NT5C1A with chemical compounds

  • Expression of cN-I in Jurkat and HEK 293 cells conferred resistance to 2-chloro-2'-deoxyadenosine, with a 49-fold increase in the IC(50) in HEK 293 and a greater than 400-fold increase in the IC(50) in Jurkat cells [4].
  • Adenosine production catalysed by cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase (cN-I) regulates diverse physiological processes [7].
  • We also attempt to design a treatment strategy for the potential in vivo selection of cN-I-modified cells by administering 5-FU to mice prior to 2-CdA treatment [1].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of NT5C1A

  • There were no significant differences between different groups in the activities of cN-I, whole homogenate 5'-nucleotidase and ectoN, or in cN-I expression on Western blots [6].
