The role of the CD39–CD73–adenosine pathway in liver disease

Extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a danger signal released by dying and damaged cells, and it functions as an immunostimulatory signal that promotes inflammation. The ectonucleotidases CD39/ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase‐1 and CD73/ecto‐5′‐nucleotidase are cell‐surface enzymes that breakdown extracellular ATP into adenosine. This drives a shift from an ATP‐driven proinflammatory environment to an anti‐inflammatory milieu induced by adenosine. The CD39–CD73–adenosine pathway changes dynamically with the pathophysiological context in which it is embedded. Accumulating evidence suggests that CD39 and CD73 play important roles in liver disease as critical components of the extracellular adenosinergic pathway. Recent studies have shown that the modification of the CD39–CD73–adenosine pathway alters the liver's response to injury. Moreover, adenosine exerts different effects on the pathophysiology of the liver through different receptors. In this review, we aim to describe the role of the CD39–CD73–adenosine pathway and adenosine receptors in liver disease, highlighting potential therapeutic targets in this pathway, which will facilitate the development of therapeutic strategies for the treatment of liver disease.     

Influence of NSAIDs and methotrexate on CD73 expression and glioma cell growth

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most malignant and deadly brain tumor. GBM cells overexpress the CD73 enzyme, which controls the level of extracellular adenosine, an immunosuppressive molecule. Studies have shown that some nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and methotrexate (MTX) have antiproliferative and modulatory effects on CD73 in vitro and in vivo. However, it remains unclear whether the antiproliferative effects of MTX and NSAIDS in GBM cells are mediated by increases in CD73 expression and adenosine formation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the NSAIDs, naproxen, piroxicam, meloxicam, ibuprofen, sodium diclofenac, acetylsalicylic acid, nimesulide, and ketoprofen on CD73 expression in GBM and mononuclear cells. In addition, we sought to understand whether the effects of MTX may be mediated by CD73 expression and activity. Cell viability and CD73 expression were evaluated in C6 and mononuclear cells after exposure to NSAIDs. For analysis of the mechanism of action of MTX, GBM cells were treated with APCP (CD73 inhibitor), dipyridamole (inhibitor of adenosine uptake), ABT-702 (adenosine kinase enzyme inhibitor), or caffeine (P1 adenosine receptor antagonist), before treatment with MTX and AMP, in the presence or not of mononuclear cells. In summary, only MTX increased the expression of CD73 in GBM cells decreasing cells viability by mechanisms independent of the adenosinergic system. Further studies are needed to understand the role of MTX in the GBM microenvironment.

     

CD73; a key ectonucleotidase in the development of breast cancer: Recent advances and perspectives

Tumor cell invasion and metastasis are the definitive cause of mortality in breast cancer (BC). Hypoxia and pro-inflammatory cytokines upregulate the CD73 gene in the tumor microenvironment. Subsequently, CD73 triggers molecular and cellular signaling pathways by both enzymatic and nonenzymatic pathways, which finally leads to breast tumor progression and development. In this paper, we summarize current advances in the understanding of CD73-driven mechanisms that promote BC development and mortality. Furthermore, we evaluate the therapeutic potential of CD73 targeting in BC.     

CD73 acts as a prognostic biomarker and promotes progression and immune escape in pancreatic cancer

CD73 is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐anchored protein that attenuates tumour immunity via cooperating with CD39 to generate immunosuppressive adenosine. Therefore, CD73 blockade has been incorporated into clinical trials for cancers based on preclinical efficacy. However, the biological role and underlying mechanism of CD73 in pancreatic cancer (PC) microenvironment and its prognostic impact have not been comprehensively studied. In this article, we found that the expression of CD73 was up‐regulated in PC tissues and patients with higher CD73 expression had poorer overall survival (OS) and disease‐free survival (DFS) in multiple publicly available databases. Higher CD73 expression was significantly associated with its reduced methylation, and only the hypomethylation of CpG site at cg23172664 was obviously correlated with poorer OS. Then, Metascape analysis and GSEA showed that CD73 may play an important role in PC progression and immune regulations. Notably, CD73 was verified to be negatively correlated with infiltrating levels of CD8⁺ T cells and γδ⁺ T cells in both TCGA and GEO cohorts via the CIBERSORT algorithm. In addition, patients with higher CD73 expression also tended to have higher PD‐L1 expression and tumour mutation load. It seemed that CD73 might be a promising biomarker for the response to the anti‐PD‐1/PD‐L1 treatment in PC. In conclusion, these results reveal that CD73 may function as a promotor in cancer progression and a regulator in immune patterns via CD73‐related pathways. Blockade of CD73 might be a promising therapeutic strategy for PC.     

Diagnostic Value of Immunohistochemical Staining of GP73, GPC3, DCP,CD34, CD31, and Reticulin Staining in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

It has been reported that Golgi protein-73 (GP73), glypican-3 (GPC3), and des-γ-carboxy prothrombin (DCP) could serve as serum markers for the early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to evaluate a panel of immunostaining markers (including GP73, GPC3, DCP, CD34, and CD31) as well as reticulin staining to distinguish HCC from the mimickers. Our results revealed that CD34 immunostaining and reticulin staining were highly sensitive for the diagnosis of HCC. A special immunoreaction pattern of GP73—a diffuse coarse-block pattern in a perinuclear region or a concentrated cluster-like or cord-like pattern in a certain part of the cytoplasm—was observed in HCC cells, in contrast to the cytoplasmic fine-granular pattern in surrounding non-tumor cells and non-malignant nodules. This coarse-block pattern correlated significantly with less differentiated HCC. In comparison, GPC3 displayed a good advantage in diagnosing well-differentiated HCC. In our study, DCP and CD31 showed little diagnostic value for HCC as an immunostaining marker. When GP73, GPC3, and CD34 were combined, the specificity improved to 96.6%. Our findings demonstrate for the first time that the immunohistochemical panel of GP73, GPC3, and CD34 as well as reticulin staining is highly specific for the pathological diagnosis of HCC.

Regulation of ecto-5'-nucleotidase (CD73) in cultured cortical astrocytes by different inflammatory factors

Ecto-5'-nucleotidase (e-5NT) is a cell-surface located, rate-limiting enzyme in the extracellular metabolism of ATP, catalyzing the final step of the conversion of AMP to adenosine. Since this enzyme shifts the balance from pro-inflammatory ATP to anti-inflammatory adenosine, it is considered to be an important regulator of inflammation. Although up-regulation of e-5NT was repeatedly reported in several in vivo models of brain injury, the regulation of its expression and function remains largely unknown. We have studied effects of several pro-inflammatory factors, namely, bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), glutamate (Glu) and hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) on e-5NT (i) activity, (ii) mRNA expression and (iii) membrane protein abundance in primary cultured cortical astrocytes. We are clearly able to demonstrate a stimulus-specific regulation of the e-5NT pathway. IFN-γ, LPS, Glu and H(2)O(2) decrease, while TNF-α increases e-5NT activity. The analysis of e-5NT gene expression and e-5NT membrane protein levels revealed that tested factors regulate e-5NT at different levels and by employing different mechanisms. In summary, we provide evidence that e-5NT activity is tightly regulated in a stimulus-specific manner.
