Adenosine is generated at sites of tissue injury where it serves to regulate inflammation and damage. Adenosine signaling has been implicated in the regulation of pulmonary inflammation and damage in diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; however, the contribution of specific adenosine receptors to key immunoregulatory processes in these diseases is still unclear. Mi...
Adenosine is an endogenous hypnotic molecule. However, the mechanism by which the level of extracellular adenosine is regulated remains to be elucidated. We found by Northern hybridization and enzyme assay that ecto-5(')-nucleotidase and adenosine deaminase (ADA), major enzymes responsible for the production and degradation of adenosine, respectively, were localized most abundantly in the lepto...
Increased proportions of CD8 T lymphocytes lacking expression of the CD28 costimulatory receptor have been documented during both aging and chronic infection with HIV-1, and their abundance correlates with numerous deleterious clinical outcomes. CD28-negative cells also arise in cell cultures of CD8(+)CD28(+) following multiple rounds of Ag-driven proliferation, reaching the end stage of replic...
Adenosine deaminase-deficient severe combined immunodeficiency (ADA-SCID) is characterized by impaired T-, B- and NK-cell function. Affected children, in addition to early onset of infections, manifest non-immunologic symptoms including pulmonary dysfunction likely attributable to elevated systemic adenosine levels. Lung disease assessment has primarily employed repetitive radiography and effor...
We employed intracoronary infusions of calf intestine adenosine deaminase (ADA) to test the hypothesis that adenosine regulates coronary blood flow during myocardial reactive hyperemia (RH). Infusions of 4.5 U ADA/min per kg body weight into the left circumflex coronary artery of 10 open-chest dogs reversibly reduced repayment of flow debt by 30-39% (P less than 0.05) following 5-, 10-, 15-, 20...
Co-infection with cryptococcus and tuberculosis has rarely been reported. We herein report a case of an 80-year-old man with cryptococcal pleuritis concurrent with pulmonary tuberculosis. He was admitted for progression of left pleural effusion and consolidation in the left upper lobe. Culture for Mycobacterium tuberculosis was positive in sputum, and analyses of pleural effusion revealed lymph...
Serum adenosine deaminase (ADA) levels reflect activity of stimulated T lymphocytes and its levels are raised whenever cell mediated immunity is stimulated. One hundred term normal newborns were studied to evaluate effect of BCG vaccination on serum ADA levels. Serum ADA was measured at birth and 6 weeks after BCG vaccination. Only 67 subjects came for follow up after 6 weeks. The levels were 6...
Abstract Objective: It has been reported that adenosine deaminase (ADA) is a good marker for insulin function but its clinical significance in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is not yet characterized. This study aims to assess the association of ADA with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and uric acid (UA) in T2DM patients. Materials and Methods: The study population consisted of 120 subjects divi...
The molecular mechanisms of chronic pain are poorly understood and effective mechanism-based treatments are lacking. Here, we report that mice lacking adenosine deaminase (ADA), an enzyme necessary for the breakdown of adenosine, displayed unexpected chronic mechanical and thermal hypersensitivity due to sustained elevated circulating adenosine. Extending from Ada(-/-) mice, we further discover...
Background Adenosine deaminase (ADA) deficiency is a disorder where the accumulation of purine metabolites, which are particularly toxic to lymphocytes, can lead to severe, life threatening infections. In addition, ADA deficiency also affects other tissues. Few reports describe the presence of neutropenia in these patients, primarily in older patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantati...
