Ecto-5′-nucleotidase/CD73 inhibition by quercetin in the human U138MG glioma cell line
چکیده انگلیسی

Gliomas are the most malignant of the primary brain tumors. Nucleotides represent an important class of extracellular molecules that are crucial for the normal function of the nervous system. ATP and adenosine can stimulate cell proliferation in different glioma cell lines; the events induced by extracellular adenine nucleotides are controlled by the action of ecto-nucleotidases, which hydrolyze ATP into adenosine in the extracellular space. Recent studies have shown that quercetin has an anti-proliferative effect on the U138MG glioma cell line. Since evidence suggests that purinergic signaling is involved in the growth and progression of glioma and, taking into consideration the anti-proliferative effect elicited by quercetin in this tumor type, the aim of the present study was to better investigate the extracellular metabolism of AMP and evaluate the effect of quercetin on this system in the human U138MG glioma cell line. The adenine products secreted by glioma cells were first characterized; extracellular AMP was efficiently metabolized by the glioma culture, demonstrating a very active ecto-5′-NT/CD73. Quercetin was able to inhibit the ecto-5′-NT/CD73 activity and modulate its expression. In addition, the cell treatment with APCP (α,β-methyleneadenosine-5′-diphosphate), an ecto-5′-NT/CD73 inhibitor, led to a significant reduction in glioma cell proliferation. We suggest that the inhibition of ecto-5′-NT/CD73 may result in a decrease in extracellular adenosine production with a consequent reduction in tumor progression.
