چکیده

We have studied the expression of mRNA encoding adenosine deaminase (ADA; EC 3.5.4.4), purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP; EC 2.4.2.1), and terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase (TdT; EC 2.7.7.31) in different leukemic cell lines of B- and T-cell lineage. Incubation of leukemic cells in the presence of the phorbol esters, 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate or phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate, resulted in reduction of ADA and TdT mRNA levels, while PNP mRNA levels increased under the same treatment. The effect of TPA on the activity of these enzymes correlated well with its effects on their mRNA levels. TPA caused a 40% decrease in ADA and a 60% decrease in TdT enzyme activity, after 6 h of treatment. In contrast, PNP activity increased up to 200% after 12 h of incubation with the phorbol ester. The changes induced by the phorbol esters in the levels of mRNA of ADA, PNP, and TdT, and their enzyme activities in human leukemic cell lines mimic the changes in the activities of these enzymes in developing T-lymphocytes during differentiation in vivo, suggesting a role for protein kinase C in the regulation of ADA, PNP, and TdT gene expression during lymphoid cell differentiation.

Phorbol Esters Induce Changes in Adenosine Deaminase, Furine Nucleoside Phosphorylase, and Terminal Deoxynucleotidyl Transferase Messenger RNA Levels in Human Leukemic Cell Lines1

We have studied the expression of mRNA encoding adenosine deaminase (ADA; EC 3.5.4.4), purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP; EC 2.4.2.1), and terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase (TdT; EC 2.7.7.31) in different leukemic cell lines of Band T-cell lineage. Incubation of leukemic cells in the presence of the phorbol esters, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate or phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate, resulted...

Coordinate regulation of mRNAs encoding adenosine deaminase, purine nucleoside phosphorylase, and terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase by phorbol esters in human thymocytes.

Incubation of human thymocytes in the presence of phorbol esters caused a reversible decrease in the mRNAs encoding terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase (TdT; EC 2.7.7.31) and adenosine deaminase (ADA; EC 3.5.4.4) and an increase in the mRNA encoding purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP; EC 2.4.2.1). The effect of phorbol esters on TdT and ADA mRNA levels can be attributed to an apparent decrea...

Nucleotide pool imbalance and adenosine deaminase deficiency induce alterations of N-region insertions during V(D)J recombination.

Template-independent nucleotide additions (N regions) generated at sites of V(D)J recombination by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) increase the diversity of antigen receptors. Two inborn errors of purine metabolism, deficiencies of adenosine deaminase (ADA) and purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP), result in defective lymphoid development and aberrant pools of 2'-deoxynucleotides t...

Purine degradative enzymes and terminal transferase in acute myelogenous leukemia: clinical relevance.

Intracellular adenosine deaminase (ADA), purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) activities were investigated in adult patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in order to relate these enzymatic activities to the stage of differentiation and maturation and to the clinical outcome of AML. Both ADA and PNP were measured spectrophotometrically us...

Purine metabolism in cultured human fibroblasts derived from patients deficient in hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase, purine nucleoside phosphorylase, or adenosine deaminase.

Rates of purine synthesis de novo, as measured by the incorporation of [14C]formate into newly synthesized purines, have been determined in cultured human fibroblasts derived from normal individuals and from patients deficient in adenosine deaminase, purine nucleoside phosphorylase, or hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase, three consecutive enzymes of the purine salvage pathway. All four type...
