Abstract
One of the hallmarks of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is inflammation of the synovial membrane, and oxidative stress is a mediator of tissue damage. RA is characterized by persistent joint inflammation, which leads to pain, edema, and finally joint destruction. Numerous biochemical markers can cause RA because of their impact on systemic and local inflammation. Numerous biomarkers have been investigated for their potential application in the diagnosis and prognosis of RA. In this review article, we evaluate the role of RA factor or rheumatoid factor (RF), uric acid, C-reactive protein (CRP), and adenosine deaminases (ADAs) as biomarkers in patients with and without arthritis. Studies that analyze and compare the levels of uric acid, ADAs, CRP, and RF in patients with and without arthritis. Although recent research has shown higher levels of uric acid, ADA, CRP, and RA in patients with RF compared to healthy controls, these findings may indicate a role for these markers in reflecting inflammation and disease activity. In the metabolism of purines, the enzyme ADA is involved. The liver produces CRP, which is then released into the bloodstream. In inflammatory situations, there is a rise in CRP levels. This biomarker is frequently used for systemic inflammatory assessment in RA. The pathophysiology and severity of RA have both been connected to uric acid, which has historically been linked to gout. One particular biomarker for RA is RF. When compared to a healthy control group of individuals with arthritis, this review provides valuable insights into the diagnostic and prognostic use of uric acid, CRP, ADAs, and RF.

Abstract
Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is a Zn2+-containing enzyme that catalyzes the irreversible deamination of adenosine to inosine or deoxyadenosine to deoxyinosine. In addition to this enzymatic function, ADA mediates cell-to-cell interactions involved in lymphocyte co-stimulation or endothelial activation. ADA is implicated in cardiovascular pathologies such as atherosclerosis and certain types of cancers, including lymphoma and leukemia. To date, only two drugs (pentostatin and cladribine) have been approved for the treatment of hairy cell leukemia. In search of natural ADA inhibitors, we demonstrated the binding of selected phenolic compounds to the active site of ADA using molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation. Our results show that phenolic compounds (chlorogenic acid, quercetin, and hyperoside) stabilized the ADA complex by forming persistent interactions with the catalytically essential Zn2+ ion. Furthermore, MM-GBSA ligand binding affinity calculations revealed that hyperoside had a comparable binding energy score (ΔG = - 46.56 ± 8.26 kcal/mol) to that of the cocrystal ligand in the ADA crystal structure (PDB ID: 1O5R) (ΔG = - 51.97 ± 4.70 kcal/mol). Similarly, chlorogenic acid exhibited a binding energy score (ΔG = - 18.76 ± 4.60 kcal/mol) comparable to those of the two approved ADA inhibitor drugs pentostatin (ΔG = - 14.54 ± 2.25 kcal/mol) and cladribine (ΔG = - 25.52 ± 4.10 kcal/mol) while quercetin was found to have modest binding affinity (ΔG = - 8.85 ± 7.32 kcal/mol). This study provides insights into the possible inhibitory potential of these phenolic compounds against ADA.

Abstract
The vesicular nucleotide transporter (VNUT) is critical for sympathetic co-transmission and purinergic transmission maintenance. To examine this proposal, we assessed whether the bisphosphonate clodronate, claimed as a potent in vitro VNUT blocker, modified spontaneous and/or the electrically evoked overflow of ATP/metabolites and NA from mesentery sympathetic perivascular nerve terminals. Additionally, in primary endothelial cell cultures derived from this tissue, we also evaluated whether clodronate interfered with ATP/metabolite cell outflow and metabolism of N6-etheno adenosine 5'-triphosphate (eATP), N6-etheno adenosine (eADO), and adenosine deaminase enzyme activity. Rat mesenteries were perfused in the absence or presence of .01-1,000 nM clodronate, 1-1,000 nM Evans blue (EB), and 1-10 µM DIDS; tissue perfusates were collected to determine ATP/metabolites and NA before, during, and after perivascular electrical nerve terminal depolarization. An amount of 1-1,000 nM clodronate did not modify the time course of ATP or NA overflow elicited by nerve terminal depolarization, and only 10 nM clodronate significantly augmented perfusate adenosine. Electrical nerve terminal stimulation increased tissue perfusion pressure that was significantly reduced only by 10 nM clodronate [90.0 ± 18.6 (n = 8) to 35.0 ± 10.4 (n = 7), p = .0277]. As controls, EB, DIDS, or reserpine treatment reduced the overflow of ATP/metabolites and NA in a concentration-dependent manner elicited by nerve terminal depolarization. Moreover, mechanical stimulation of primary endothelial cell cultures from the rat mesentery added with 10 or 100 nM clodronate increased adenosine in the cell media. eATP was metabolized by endothelial cells to the same extent with and without 1-1,000 nM clodronate, suggesting the bisphosphonate did not interfere with nucleotide ectoenzyme metabolism. In contrast, extracellular eADO remained intact, indicating that this nucleoside is neither metabolized nor transported intracellularly. Furthermore, only 10 nM clodronate inhibited (15.5%) adenosine metabolism to inosine in endothelial cells as well as in a commercial crude adenosine deaminase enzyme preparation (12.7%), and both effects proved the significance (p < .05). Altogether, present data allow inferring that clodronate inhibits adenosine deaminase activity in isolated endothelial cells as in a crude extract preparation, a finding that may account for adenosine accumulation following clodronate mesentery perfusion.

Abstract
In plants, guanosine deaminase (GSDA) catalyzes the deamination of guanosine for nitrogen recycling and re-utilization. We previously solved crystal structures of GSDA from Arabidopsis thaliana (AtGSDA) and identified several novel substrates for this enzyme, but the structural basis of the enzyme activation/inhibition is poorly understood. Here, we continued to solve 8 medium-to-high resolution (1.85-2.60 Å) cocrystal structures, which involved AtGSDA and its variants bound by a few ligands, and investigated their binding modes through structural studies and thermal shift analysis. Besides the lack of a 2-amino group of these guanosine derivatives, we discovered that AtGSDA's inactivity was due to the its inability to seclude its active site. Furthermore, the C-termini of the enzyme displayed conformational diversities under certain circumstances. The lack of functional amino groups or poor interactions/geometries of the ligands at the active sites to meet the precise binding and activation requirements for deamination both contributed to AtGSDA's inactivity toward the ligands. Altogether, our combined structural and biochemical studies provide insight into GSDA.

Abstract
Adenosine is a potent signaling molecule that has paradoxical effects on lung diseases. We have previously demonstrated that sustained adenosine exposure by inhibition of adenosine degradation impairs lung endothelial barrier integrity and causes intrinsic apoptosis through equilibrative nucleoside transporter1/2-mediated intracellular adenosine signaling. In this study, we further demonstrated that sustained adenosine exposure increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and reduced mitochondrial respiration via equilibrative nucleoside transporter1/2, but not via adenosine receptor-mediated signaling. We have previously shown that sustained adenosine exposure activates p38 and c-Jun N-terminal kinases in mitochondria. Here, we show that activation of p38 and JNK partially contributed to sustained adenosine-induced mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production. We also found that sustained adenosine exposure promoted mitochondrial fission and increased mitophagy. Finally, mitochondria-targeted antioxidants prevented sustained adenosine exposure-induced mitochondrial fission and improved cell survival. Our results suggest that inhibition of equilibrative nucleoside transporter1/2 and mitochondria-targeted antioxidants may be potential therapeutic approaches for lung diseases associated with sustained elevated adenosine.

Abstract
Adenosine deaminase is involved in adenosine degradation and salvage pathway, and plays important physiological roles in purine metabolism. Recently, a novel type of adenosine deaminase-like protein has been identified, which displays deamination activity toward N6-methyl-adenosine monophosphate but not adenosine or AMP, and was consequently named N6-methyl-AMP deaminase (MAPDA). The underlying structural basis of MAPDA recognition and catalysis is poorly understood. Here, we present the crystal structures of MAPDA from Arabidopsis thaliana in the free and in the ligand-bound forms. The protein contains a conserved (β/α)8 Tim-barrel domain and a typical zinc-binding site, but it also exhibits idiosyncratic local differences for two flexible helices important for substrate binding. The extensive interactions between the N6-methyl-AMP substrate or the inosine monophosphate product and the enzyme were identified, and subsequently evaluated by the deamination activity assays. Importantly, each structure reported here represents a different stage of the catalytic pathway and their structural differences suggested that the enzyme can exist in two distinct conformational states. The open state switches to the closed one upon the binding of ligands, brought about by the two critical helices. Our structural studies provide the first look of this important metabolic enzyme and shed lights on its catalytic pathway, which holds promise for the structure-based drug design for MAPDA-related diseases.

Abstract
Adenosine deaminase is a critical enzyme in purine metabolism that regulates intra and extracellular adenosine concentrations by converting it to inosine. Adenosine is an important purine that regulates numerous physiological functions by interacting with its receptors. Adenosine and consequently adenosine deaminase can have pro or anti-inflammatory effects on tissues depending on how much time has passed from the start of the injury. In addition, an increase in adenosine deaminase activity has been reported for various diseases and the significant effect of deaminase inhibition on the clinical course of different diseases has been reported. However, the use of inhibitors is limited to only a few medical indications. Data on the increase of adenosine deaminase activity in different diseases and the impact of its inhibition in various cases have been collected and are discussed in this review. Overall, the evidence shows that many studies have been done to introduce inhibitors, however, in vivo studies have been much less than in vitro, and often have not been expanded for clinical use.

Abstract
To better understand detection and monitoring of the important neurotransmitter adenosine at physiological levels, this study combines quantum chemical density functional modeling and ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic (SERS) measurements. Combined simulation results and experimental data for an analyte concentration of about 10-11 molar indicate the presence of all known molecular forms resulting from adenosine's complex redox-reaction. Detailed analysis presented here, besides assessing potential Raman signatures of these adenosinic forms, also sheds light on the analytic redox process and voltammetric detection. Examples of adenosine Raman fingerprints for different molecular orientations with respect to the SERS substrate are the vibrational line around 920 ± 10 cm-1 for analyte physisorption through the carbinol moiety and around 1600 ± 20 cm-1 for its fully oxidized form. However, both hydroxyl/oxygen sites and NH₂/nitrogen sites contribute to molecule's interaction with the SERS environment. Our results also reveal that contributions of partially oxidized adenosine forms and of the standard form are more likely to be detected with the first recorded voltammetric oxidation peak. The fully oxidized adenosine form contributes mostly to the second peak. Thus, this comparative theoretical⁻experimental investigation of adenosine's vibrational signatures provides significant insights for advancing its detection, and for future development of opto-voltammetric biosensors.

Abstract
A series of emissive ribonucleoside purine mimics, all comprised of an isothiazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine core, was prepared using a divergent pathway involving a key Thorpe-Ziegler cyclization. In addition to an adenosine and a guanosine mimic, analogues of the noncanonical xanthosine, isoguanosine, and 2-aminoadenosine were also synthesized and found to be emissive. Isothiazolo 2-aminoadenosine, an adenosine surrogate, was found to be particularly emissive and effectively deaminated by adenosine deaminase. Competitive studies with adenosine deaminase with each analogue in combination with native adenosine showed preference for the native substrate while still deaminating the isothiazolo analogues.

Abstract
A novel strategy for the fabrication of a colorimetric aptasensor using label free gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is proposed in this work, and the strategy has been employed for the assay of adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity. The aptasensor consists of adenosine (AD) aptamer, AD and AuNPs. The design of the biosensor takes advantage of the special optical properties of AuNPs and the interaction between AuNPs and single-strand DNA. In the absence of ADA, the AuNPs are aggregated and are blue in color under appropriate salt concentration because of the grid structure of an AD aptamer when binding to AD, while in the presence of the analyte, AuNPs remain dispersed with red color under the same concentration of salt owing to ADA converting AD into inosine which has no affinity with the AD aptamer, thus allowing quantitative investigation of ADA activity. The present strategy is simple, cost-effective, selective and sensitive for ADA with a detection limit of 1.526 U L(-1), which is about one order of magnitude lower than that previously reported. In addition, a very low concentration of the inhibitor erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl) adenine (EHNA) could generate a distinguishable response. Therefore, the AuNP-based colorimetric biosensor has great potential in the diagnosis of ADA-relevant diseases and drug screening.

Abstract
Astrocytes are acutely sensitive to 1,3-dinitrobenzene (1,3-DNB) while adjacent neurons are relatively unaffected, consistent with other chemically-induced energy deprivation syndromes. Previous studies have investigated the role of astrocytes in protecting neurons from hypoxia and chemical injury via adenosine release. Adenosine is considered neuroprotective, but it is rapidly removed by extracellular deaminases such as adenosine deaminase (ADA). The present study tested the hypothesis that ADA is inhibited by 1,3-DNB as a substrate mimic, thereby preventing adenosine catabolism. ADA was inhibited by 1,3-DNB with an IC(50) of 284 μM, Hill slope, n = 4.8 ± 0.4. Native gel electrophoresis showed that 1,3-DNB did not denature ADA. Furthermore, adding Triton X-100 (0.01-0.05%, wt/vol), Nonidet P-40 (0.0015-0.0036%, wt/vol), or bovine serum albumin (0.05 mg/ml or changing [ADA] (0.2 and 2 nM) did not substantially alter the 1,3-DNB IC(50) value. Likewise, dynamic light scattering showed no particle formation over a (1,3-DNB) range of 149-1043 μM. Kinetics revealed mixed inhibition with 1,3-DNB binding to ADA (K(I) = 520 ± 100 μM, n = 1 ± 0.6) and the ADA-adenosine complex (K(IS) = 262 ± 7 μM, n = 6 ± 0.6, indicating positive cooperativity). In accord with the kinetics, docking predicted binding of 1,3-DNB to the active site and three peripheral sites. In addition, exposure of DI TNC-1 astrocytes to 10-500 μM 1,3-DNB produced concentration-dependent increases in extracellular adenosine at 24 h. Overall, the results demonstrate that 1,3-DNB is a mixed inhibitor of ADA and may thus lead to increases in extracellular adenosine. The finding may provide insights to guide future work on chemically-induced energy deprivation.

Abstract
Adenosine deaminase is an enzyme involved in purine metabolism and its inhibitors are used as anticancer and antiviral drugs. In this study, we show that fast-scan cyclic voltammetry at carbon-fiber microelectrodes can be used to study the kinetics of adenosine deaminase by electrochemically monitoring decreases in adenosine concentration. Buffer and salt concentrations were shown to affect the enzyme kinetics and the inhibition by erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)adenine (EHNA) and deoxycoformycin (DCF). In a Tris buffer containing salts that mimic cerebrospinal fluid, EHNA and DCF showed non-competitive inhibition with a K(i) of 1.7 +/- 0.6 nM and 1.2 +/- 0.2 nM, respectively. However, removing the divalent cations from the Tris buffer caused the inhibition to be competitive and reduced the K(i) for DCF by two orders of magnitude. In phosphate-buffered saline, the K(i) was 1.0 +/- 0.2 nM for EHNA and 3.6 +/- 0.3 pM for DCF, similar to literature values. Adenosine deaminase was also competitively inhibited by AgNO(3), showing it is susceptible to silver toxicity. Caffeine was found to increase adenosine deaminase activity. This is a fast, easy method for screening drug effects on enzyme kinetics and could be applied to other enzymatic reactions where there is a significant difference in the electroactivity of the reactant and product.
