Lack of the nucleoside transporter ENT1 results in the Augustine-null blood type and ectopic mineralization.
The Augustine-negative alias At(a-) blood type, which seems to be restricted to people of African ancestry, was identified half a century ago but remains one of the last blood types with no known genetic basis. Here we report that a nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphism in SLC29A1 (rs45458701) is responsible for the At(a-) blood type. The resulting p.Glu391Lys variation in the last extra...
متن کاملEquilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 plays an essential role in cardioprotection.
To better understand the role of equilibrative nucleoside transporters (ENT) in purine nucleoside-dependent physiology of the cardiovascular system, we investigated whether the ENT1-null mouse heart was cardioprotected in response to ischemia (coronary occlusion for 30 min followed by reperfusion for 2 h). We observed that ENT1-null mouse hearts showed significantly less myocardial infarction c...
متن کاملType 1 equilibrative nucleoside transporter regulates astrocyte-specific glial fibrillary acidic protein expression in the striatum
BACKGROUND Adenosine signaling has been implicated in several neurological and psychiatric disorders. Previously, we found that astrocytic excitatory amino acid transporter 2 (EAAT2) and aquaporin 4 (AQP4) are downregulated in the striatum of mice lacking type 1 equilibrative nucleoside transporter (ENT1). METHODS To further investigate the gene expression profile in the striatum, we preforme...
متن کاملAberrant Bone Density in Aging Mice Lacking the Adenosine Transporter ENT1
Adenosine is known to regulate bone production and resorption in humans and mice. Type 1 equilibrative nucleoside transporter (ENT1) is responsible for the majority of adenosine transport across the plasma membrane and is ubiquitously expressed in both humans and mice. However, the contribution of ENT1-mediated adenosine levels has not been studied in bone remodeling. With the recent identifica...
متن کاملIdentification of First Patient with Rh null Phenotype in Southeast Iran
Background and Aims: Rhnull, with an estimated incidence of one per 6,000,000 individuals, is an extremely rare disorder with an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance that is more common in societies with a high rate of consanguinity. Materials and Methods: In this study, we report the first case with Rhnull, a blood group phenotype in southeast Iran, which was diagnosed during pretransf...
