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 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 کاملGemcitabine sensitivity factors, hENT1 and RRM1 as potential prognostic biomarker for advanced biliary tract cancer.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Biliary tract caner (BTC) is one of rare malignant disease with poor prognosis. Gemcitabine has been widely used as chemotherapeutic agent for advanced BTC treatment. Several molecules involved in gemcitabine metabolism, including human equilibrative nucleoside transporter (hENT1) and ribonucleotide reductase subunit M1 (RRM1), have been investigated as predictive biomarkers...
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 کاملA predictive analysis of the SP120 and 10D7G2 antibodies for human equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (hENT1) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma treated with adjuvant gemcitabine
Expression of human equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (hENT1) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has been postulated to be a marker of sensitivity to gemcitabine. However, heterogeneity in the studies attempting to quantify hENT1 expression in patients with PDAC treated with gemcitabine has yielded inconclusive results that impede the adoption of hENT1 expression as a predictive bi...
