Nucleobase transport by human equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (hENT1).
The human equilibrative nucleoside transporters hENT1 and hENT2 (each with 456 residues) are 40% identical in amino acid sequence and contain 11 putative transmembrane helices. Both transport purine and pyrimidine nucleosides and are distinguished functionally by a difference in sensitivity to inhibition by nanomolar concentrations of nitrobenzylmercaptopurine ribonucleoside (NBMPR), hENT1 bein...
متن کاملHuman equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (hENT1) protein is associated with short survival in resected ampullary cancer.
BACKGROUND Gemcitabine is an acceptable alternative to best supportive care in the treatment of advanced biliary tract cancers. The human equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (hENT1) is a ubiquitous protein and is the major means by which gemcitabine enters human cells. Moreover, recent reports indicate a significant correlation between immunohistochemical variations of hENT1 in tumor samples...
متن کاملHuman Equilibrative Nucleoside Transporter 1 (hENT1) in Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: Towards Individualized Treatment Decisions
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal cancers, where curative surgical resections are rare and less than 5% of patients experience long-term survival. Despite numerous clinical trials, improvements in the systemic treatment of this disease have been limited. Gemcitabine, a nucleoside analogue, is still considered the standard of care chemotherapy for most patients in the advanced disease ...
متن کاملExpression of human equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (hENT1) and its correlation with gemcitabine uptake and cytotoxicity in mantle cell lymphoma.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Nucleoside transporters might play a relevant role in the intracellular targeting of many nucleoside analogs used in anticancer therapy. Two gene families (SLC28 and SLC29) encode the two types of human nucleoside transporters, concentrative nucleoside transporter (CNT) and equilibrative nucleoside transporter (ENT) proteins. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells ex...
متن کاملLocalization of broadly selective equilibrative and concentrative nucleoside transporters, hENT1 and hCNT3, in human kidney.
Nucleoside transporters in kidney mediate renal reabsorption and secretion of nucleosides. Using RT-PCR, we demonstrated mRNAs encoding hENT1, hENT2, hCNT1, hCNT2, and hCNT3 in both cortex and medulla. Immunoblotting with crude membrane preparations revealed abundant hENT1 and hCNT3 in both cortex and medulla, and little, if any, hENT2, hCNT1, or hCNT2, indicating that the latter were either ab...
