Abstract We measured adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity in a guinea pig model of Legionella pneumophila infection. Female Hartley guinea pigs were inoculated intraperitoneally with one-quarter of the LD50 dose of L. pneumophila Philadelphia-1 strain. Control groups were inoculated with clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae or Klebsiella pneumoniae . Each group consisted of 5 animals. ADA activity in plasma was assayed calorimetrically before and at various intervals after infection by measuring the amount of ammonia produced after adnosine was added to plasma samples. ADA activity before inoculation was 25.6±6.0 IU/1, it reached 174.4±60.0 IU/1 on day 3 after inoculation of L. pneumophila . ADA activity returned to normal levels on day 14. ADA activity did not increase significantly in guinea pigs infected with the other types of bacteria. These findings suggest that measurement of plasma ADA activity may be useful for the diagnosis of Legionella infection. 相似文献

Blood samples from 718 unrelated individuals born in municipalities of the 'Alto Maceratese' region in central Italy were examined for adenosine deaminase (ADA). The allele frequencies for ADA*1 and ADA*2 were 92.48 and 7.45%, respectively. One case of the rare ADA 5-1 phenotype was observed. The observed phenotype distribution agreed well with the one expected assuming a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Enzyme activity was measured in red blood cells from individuals with different phenotypes. The relationships between the enzyme activity of the phenotypes was found to be ADA 1 greater than ADA 2-1 greater than ADA 2 greater than ADA 5-1. 相似文献

Summary Induction of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) capsid antigen synthesis in 59.6% of P3HR-1 cells was followed by a decrease to 70% in adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity. In Daudi cells synthesizing EBV early antigen, ADA activity did not decrease. 相似文献

Adenosine deaminase (ADA) plays an important role in the immune system, and its activity is composed of two kinetically distinct isozymes, ADA1 and ADA2. ADA2 is a major component of human plasma total ADA activity and ADA2 activity is significantly elevated in patients with various diseases such as HIV infection and chronic hepatitis. However, relatively little is known about ADA2 because of difficulties in purifying this enzyme. In this study we succeeded in purifying human plasma ADA2 and demonstrate the extracellular secretion of ADA2 from human peripheral blood monocytes stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and calcium ionophore. 相似文献

Automated enzymatic measurement of adenosine deaminase isoenzyme activities in serum 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
We developed a simple, rapid, and automated method for simultaneous measurement of adenosine deaminase (ADA, EC 3.5.4.4) isoenzymes in human serum, based on their apparent difference in Ki values for erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)adenine (EHNA) as inhibitor. Serum ADA was partially purified by CM-Sephadex, gel-filtration, and affinity chromatography into two types of isoenzymes, designated ADA1 (300 kDa) and ADA2 (120 kDa). Because ADA2 has a higher Km for adenosine and higher Ki values for EHNA than does ADA1, the activity of ADA1 is almost completely inhibited by EHNA at 0.1 mM (analytical recovery 4.1%), whereas ADA2 is practically unaffected (analytical recovery 94.8%) by that concentration of EHNA. We measured the activities of ADA2 and total ADA in the presence and absence of 0.1 mM EHNA. ADA1 activities were calculated by subtracting the activity of ADA2 from that of total ADA. The mean within-assay CV was 5.7% for ADA1 and 2.7% for ADA2. The interassay CV was 2.8% for ADA1 and 3.1% for ADA2. Results of the present method correlated well (r = 0.9026 for ADA1, 0.9438 for ADA2) with those of the ion-exchange chromatography method. The upper limits of the reference intervals, as calculated from data for 320 healthy donors, are 7.2 U/liter for ADA1, and 14.6 U/liter for ADA2. This method is suitable for analysis of large numbers of samples in clinical laboratories for routine monitoring of the activities of ADA isoenzymes in serum. 相似文献

Swiss Albino (Rat rattus norvegicus) rats were intraperitoneally injected with a 100 mg kg(-1) dosage of benzene, a toxic and carcinogenic agent widely used for industrial purposes. Changes in the adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity in the liver, kidney and serum of rats were investigated at 0, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 h following injection. Serum physiological was administered to each control group. Enzyme activities were measured spectrophotometrically. Our purpose was to further investigations of some diseases caused by benzene, and present evidence of variations in the activity of ADA enzyme effected by benzene. While benzene caused significant inhibitions in ADA activity in the liver at 16 and 32 h and at 0.05 probability level, no significant inhibition or activation occurred at other test periods (hours). ADA activity did not present any significant variation in the kidneys. It was observed that ADA activity displayed similar patterns in the control groups. Comparisons of ADA activities in the two groups showed a statistically significant decrease between 4(th) and 64(th) hours (p< 0.05), demonstrating a direct correlation between benzene and its effects on ADA enzymes. 相似文献

Activity of adenosine deaminase (ADA) and its regulation by dietary restriction were studied in the stomach, small intestine and spleen of mice. ADA activity (U/mg protein) was highest in the stomach, followed by small intestine and spleen of mice on normal diet. The activity decreased significantly in the stomach (41%) and small intestine (45%) of 24 hr fasted mice, when compared to mice fed ad-libitum. However, ADA activity in spleen did not show any change by dietary intervention. Refeeding of fasted mice for 24 hr restored the activity of ADA in tissues. In addition, dietary restriction (alternate days of feeding for three months) had a cumulative effect, whereby ADA activity decreased significantly in the stomach (53% on the day of feeding and 60% on the day of fasting) and small intestine (50% and 54% on the day of feeding and fasting, respectively) without any change in activity in spleen. These findings indicate that dietary restriction reduces ADA activity in a tissue-specific manner. Long-term dietary restriction leads to a cumulative adaptation in lowering the ADA activity of GIT, but not in spleen. 相似文献

2''-Deoxycoformycin Inhibition of Adenosine Deaminase in Rat Brain: In Vivo and In Vitro Analysis of Specificity, Potency, and Enzyme Recovery 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
2'-Deoxycoformycin (DCF), a potent inhibitor of adenosine deaminase (ADA), is increasingly used as a tool to investigate adenosine metabolism and neuromodulation. To advance further the usefulness of DCF for studies of purines in the CNS, we determined the inhibitory potency of this compound against ADA and adenylate deaminase (AMPDA) in brain, the rate of ADA recovery in various brain regions after single or repeated intraperitoneal DCF administrations, and the effect of DCF on several neurotransmitter synthetic enzymes. In vitro, the Ki values for inhibition of ADA and AMPDA were found to be 23 pM and 233 microM, respectively. In vivo, DCF inhibited ADA with ED50 values ranging from 155 to 280 micrograms/kg at 2 h posttreatment, and 98% inhibition was achieved with 1 mg/kg. AMPDA activity was not affected by doses up to 5.0 mg/kg. In contrast to the greater than 95% inhibition of ADA seen 1 day after DCF at 5 mg/kg, the effectiveness of a second similar DCF treatment on the activity that had recovered by 14 days was dramatically reduced. Eight days after DCF treatment with doses of 5-50 mg/kg, the degree of ADA activity recovery in 10 brain regions examined was similar; it averaged 35% of control values at the low dose but showed some heterogeneity, ranging from 15 to 54% of control values, at the higher doses. Forty days after treatment with a single dose of 5 mg/kg, ADA activity recovered by 68-78% of control values in brain regions with normally high levels of activity and by 44-59% of control values in other regions. The activities of choline acetyltransferase, glutamic acid decarboxylase, and histidine decarboxylase (an enzyme colocalized with ADA in hypothalamic neurons) were unaffected by DCF treatment, a result suggesting the lack of a generalized neurotoxic effect. The very low doses of DCF required for ADA inhibition in vivo are consistent with the high potency of this drug against ADA in vitro, and any physiological effects observed at low doses might therefore be ascribed to inhibition of ADA. 相似文献

The level of adenosine deaminase (ADA; EC 3.5.4.4) was estimated at different passages in six confluent fibroblast cultures established from forearm skin biopsies of healthy adult normal volunteers. After determination of the zinc concentration in standard growth medium, ADA activity was estimated at different passages of subculture in media with different zinc concentrations. The results indicated that the specific activity of ADA in control confluent skin fibroblast cultures (passage 2) cultivated in standard growth medium containing 15.4 microM zinc (similar to that present in normal human plasma) was equal to 226.6+/-19.64 micromol min(-1) mg(-1) protein. The results showed that there were no significant changes in ADA specific activity in any of the control cultures as the zinc concentration of the medium was increased. To characterize the passage of subculture at which fibroblasts enter the ageing phase, three marker enzymes were assayed namely, phosphofructokinase, lactate dehydrogenase and glycogen phosphorylase. The result showed that the cells enter the ageing phase at passage 20 and beyond. Further investigation showed that ADA activity of serially subcultured confluent cultures cultivated in standard growth medium significantly dropped at passages 20, 25 and 30. ADA activity however was not significantly altered in cells at passage 2, 10 and 15 cultivated in standard growth medium and in the presence of higher zinc levels (23.1, 34.6, 53.8 and 73.1 microM). Furthermore there was significant lowering of ADA activities in cells at passages 20, 25 and 30 when cells were cultured in the presence of 15.4, 23.1 and 34.6 microM zinc. Such lowered activities of ADA were restored to normal when the cells were cultured in the presence of higher zinc concentration equal to 53.8 and 73.1 microM. From the results we concluded that it is possible to restore ADA activity in aged skin fibroblasts to normal levels by raising the zinc concentration in the culture medium to four or five times the control normal plasma zinc level. 相似文献

Adenosine deaminase (adenosine aminohydrolase, EC 3.5.4.4) has been purified from human erythrocytes using a simple chromatographic procedure. Purified enzyme was obtained from individuals who were homozygous for the principal isozyme (ADA 1) as well as from individuals who were heterogyzous for the major variant (ADA 2-1). Although ADA 1 and ADA 2-1 are electrophoretically distinguishable, they have many common physical and catalytic properties. No significant differences between the two isozymic forms were found in measurements of molecular weight, catalytic activity in the presence of various substrates and inhibitors, pH optimum, turnover number, and stability in conditions of both high and low pH. ADA 2-1 was, however, substantially less stable than ADA 1 with respect to thermal denaturation. These studies support the idea that adenosine deaminase activity in erythrocytes is lower in those individuals who possess the variant form of the enzyme. 相似文献

Characterization of normal and mutant adenosine deaminase messenger RNAs by translation and hybridization to a cDNA probe 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Summary Using both in vitro translation and hybridization to an adenosine deaminase (ADA) cDNA probe, ADA mRNA has been characterized in B lymphoblast lines established from seven ADA-deficient children, two parents of an ADA-deficient child, and three normal people. All ADA-deficient lines except GM-2825A, including those with less than 1% of normal catalytic activity, had normal or greater amounts of hybridizable, 1.6 kilobase in size, ADA mRNA. Immunoreactive ADA protein of normal size was produced by in vitro translation of the mRNAs. Deficiency of ADA activity in these lines appears secondary to synthesis of structurally altered proteins rather than to a quantitative deficiency in ADA mRNA. The GM-2825A line contains electrophoretically abnormal species of RNA which hybridize to the cDNA probe. Deficiency of ADA activity in this line appears at least in part secondary to a structural defect in the ADA mRNA or its precursors. 相似文献

The activity of adenosine deaminase (ADA) has been measured in the hypothalamus, pons medulla and cerebral cortex from 30-day-old and 100-day-old spontaneously-hypertensive rats (SHR) and age-matched WKY controls. At 100 days there was a significant reduction in ADA activity in the hypothalamus (18.0%), pons medulla (20.6%) and cerebral cortex (14.7%). In 30-day-old SHR animals (prior to the development of significant hypertension) no significant changes were seen in the cerebral cortex or pons medulla but there was a small but significant reduction in ADA activity in the hypothalamus (9.2%). There was no significant reduction in the ADA activity in heart or kidney. Extracts of 100-day-old pons medulla which had been briefly heated to destroy endogenous ADA activity did not differentially affect the activity of exogenous purified ADA. 相似文献

Adenosine deaminase (ADA) deficiency causes an autosomal recessive form of severe combined immunodeficiency and also less severe phenotypes, depending to a large degree on genotype. In general, ADA activity in cells of carriers is approximately half-normal. Unexpectedly, healthy first-degree relatives of two unrelated ADA-deficient severe combined immunodeficient patients (mother and brother in family I; mother in family II) had only 1-2% of normal ADA activity in PBMC, lower than has previously been found in PBMC of healthy individuals with so-called "partial ADA deficiency." The level of deoxyadenosine nucleotides in erythrocytes of these paradoxical carriers was slightly elevated, but much lower than levels found in immunodeficient patients with ADA deficiency. ADA activity in EBV-lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL) and T cell lines established from these carriers was 10-20% of normal. Each of these carriers possessed two mutated ADA alleles. Expression of cloned mutant ADA cDNAs in an ADA-deletion strain of Escherichia coli indicated that the novel mutations G239S and M310T were responsible for the residual ADA activity. ADA activity in EBV-LCL extracts of the paradoxical carriers was much more labile than ADA from normal EBV-LCL. Immunoblotting suggested that this lability was due to denaturation rather than to degradation of the mutant protein. These results further define the threshold level of ADA activity necessary for sustaining immune function. 相似文献
