    Immunology today·2014

    Normal human lymphocytes synthesize and release 2'-deoxyadenosine during mitogenesis, a process not fully understood in purine metabolism. This finding is crucial for understanding immune cell activation and purine pathway regulation.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Immunology
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Adenosine deaminase deficiency in children leads to elevated 2 -deoxyadenosine and adenosine levels.
    • Limited data exists on endogenous 2 -deoxyadenosine and adenosine synthesis in normal human hematopoietic cells.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To quantify 2 -deoxyadenosine and adenosine production during human lymphocyte activation (mitogenesis).
    • To investigate the role of these nucleosides in normal immune cell function.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for sensitive nucleoside quantification.
    • Stimulated human T and non-T lymphocytes using phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and Staphylococcus aureus Cowan strain I, respectively.
    • Employed the adenosine deaminase inhibitor deoxycoformycin.

    Main Results:

    • Mitogen-stimulated lymphocytes excreted 2 -deoxyadenosine into the cell medium, detectable within 20 hours.
    • 2 -deoxyadenosine excretion correlated with [methyl-3H]thymidine uptake, indicating synthesis during DNA replication.
    • Minimal adenosine production was observed in stimulated lymphocytes.

    Conclusions:

    • Increased 2 -deoxyadenosine synthesis and release are normal occurrences during human lymphocyte mitogenesis.
    • These findings contribute to understanding purine metabolism in activated immune cells.
