    Becton Dickinson fitc murine anti-human cd73 (1/20
    (A) Representative image of Passage 3 mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), 400× magnification. (B) Flow cytometry represents BM-MSC characterization. Cells were labeled with <t>anti–CD73-FITC,</t> anti–CD29-PE, and anti–CD90-PerCP-Cy5.5. (C) Induced differentiation of BM-MSCs was performed by culturing the cells in maintenance media or differentiation media (osteogenic or adipogenic). After week 3, cells in the osteocytic media were counter stained with Von Kossa to assess calcium deposit. Representative images are shown for osteocytes (top) and adipocyte (bottom). (D) Whole-cell lysates from BM-MSCs or BM stromal cells were immunoprecipitated with anti-CDH2 or IgG (Antibody control) and then electrophorese on 12% SDS–PAGE. The proteins were transferred onto PVDF membrane for blotting with anti-Cx43. (E) Real time PCR for CDH2. The results were normalized for β-actin and then presented as the mean ± SD (n = 5) relative expression. (F) Western blot with extracts from BC cell subsets: Oct4a-GFP hi, med or lo . (G, H) Top panel: Western blot for CDH2 (F) and Cx43 (G) using whole-cell extracts from MDA-MB-231, transfected with shRNA (scramble, CDH2, or Cx43). Bottom panel: normalized band densities. (H, I, J) Dye transfer assay: M-Oct4-GFP/scramble-RFP, M-Oct4-GFP/CDH2-shRNA-RFP, and M-Oct4 GFP/Cx43-shRNA-RFP were co-cultured at 1:1 ratio with CMAC-blue–labeled BM-stroma (H) or BM-MSCs (I) in four well chamber slides. After 72 h, the cells were imaged for dye transfer. Negative control used co-cultures of M-Oct4-GFP/scramble-RFP and CMAC-blue–labeled stroma or MSCs in the presence of 300 µM 1-octanol. The white spots (white arrows) in the vehicle-treated M-Oct4-GFP/scramble-RFP indicate dye transfer. Inset: enlarged image depicts cells with dye transfer. The cells were imaged using EVOS FL2 Auto 2 at 200× magnification. (K, L) CDH2-shRNA and Cx43 shRNA MDA-MB-231 were infected with inducible lentiviral particle pLVX-CDH2/GS and pLVX-Cx43/GS, respectively. After overnight infection, the cells were induced with different concentrations of doxocycline: 0, 5, 10, 100, 500, and 1,000 ng/ml. After 24 h, proteins were isolated and Western blot performed for CDH2 and Cx43. The membranes were stripped and reprobed with anti–β-actin. Source data are available for this figure.

    Techniques:

    The unilateral administration of 6‐OHDA in the striatum of rats increases the evoked release of ATP from depolarized synapses, up‐regulates ecto‐5′‐nucleotidase (CD73) selectively in synapses, enhancing the formation of extracellular adenosine (ADO) from adenine nucleotides. (a) The high K+‐evoked release of ATP from striatal synaptosomes was greater in synaptosomes derived from mice killed 19 days after being challenged with 6‐OHDA intra‐striatally, compared with saline treated (control). (b) The density of immuno‐reactive CD73 was selectively enhanced in membranes from synaptosomes (synap), but not in total membranes (TMs), from 6‐OHDA (6OH)‐treated rats, compared with those from saline (sal)‐treated rats. (c) The extracellular catabolism of AMP (10 μM, added at Time 0) and the formation of ADO were greater in striatal synaptosomes from 6‐OHDA‐treated rats than in those from saline‐treated rats. (d) α,β‐Methylene ADP (AOPCP, 100 μM) blocked the extracellular catabolism of AMP (10 μM, added at Time 0) into adenosine in synaptosomes from 6‐OHDA‐treated rats.

    6‐Hydroxydopamine (6‐OHDA, 30 μM) leads to a rapid and sustained increase of extracellular ATP and an up‐regulation of both A2A receptors and of the ecto‐5′‐nucleotidase (CD73) responsible for an increased formation of extracellular adenosine (ADO) derived from adenine nucleotides in differentiated SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. (a) The extracellular levels of ATP were rapidly (within 5 min) increased in a sustained manner (up to 6 hr) after the exposure to 6‐OHDA. (b, c) Western blot analysis showed an increased density of immuno‐reactive A2A receptors (A2AR) and of CD73 but not of the ecto‐nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase‐1 (NTPDase1 / CD39) at 2 hr after adding 6‐OHDA. (d) The extracellular catabolism of AMP (10 μM, added at Time 0) and the formation of adenosine were greater in cells exposed for 2 hr to 6‐OHDA, compared those when cells were exposed to Krebs solution only. (e) α,β‐Methylene ADP (AOPCP, 100 μM) blocked the extracellular hydrolysis of AMP (10 μM, added at Time 0) to adenosine. (f, g) The extracellular catabolism of ATP (10 μM, added at Time 0) was similar in the control (f) and 6‐OHDA‐treated cells (g), but the formation of extracellular AMP was lower and the formation of ADO was higher in cells exposed for 2 hr to 6‐OHDA (g) compared with data from cells exposed to Krebs solution only (f).

(a) The extracellular levels of ATP were rapidly (within 5 min) increased in a sustained manner (up to 6 hr) after the exposure to 6‐OHDA. (b, c) Western blot analysis showed an increased density of immuno‐reactive A2A receptors (A2AR) and of CD73 but not of the ecto‐nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase‐1 (NTPDase1 / CD39) at 2 hr after adding 6‐OHDA. (d) The extracellular catabolism of AMP (10 μM, added at Time 0) and the formation of adenosine were greater in cells exposed for 2 hr to 6‐OHDA, compared those when cells were exposed to Krebs solution only. (e) α,β‐Methylene ADP (AOPCP, 100 μM) blocked the extracellular hydrolysis of AMP (10 μM, added at Time 0) to adenosine. (f, g) The extracellular catabolism of ATP (10 μM, added at Time 0) was similar in the control (f) and 6‐OHDA‐treated cells (g), but the formation of extracellular AMP was lower and the formation of ADO was higher in cells exposed for 2 hr to 6‐OHDA (g) compared with data from cells exposed to Krebs solution only (f). Except for the representative Western blots (b), the data shown are means ± SEM of n = 5–10 in (a), n = 5–6 in (c), n = 4 (d), n = 3 (e), and n = 4 (f, g). *P < .05, significantly different from control; Dunnett's test in (a) and a two‐tailed unpaired Student's t test in (c)

    Article Snippet: The analysis of CD73 and A 2A receptor density was carried out as previously described (Augusto et al., 2013 ) using mouse anti‐A 2A R (1:1,000, Merck‐Millipore, clone 7F6‐G5‐A2), and goat anti‐murine CD73 (1:1,000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc‐25603), followed by the appropriate secondary antibody conjugated with alkaline phosphatase (Amersham) before revealing the membranes with ECF (Amersham).

    Techniques: Derivative Assay, Western Blot, Two Tailed Test
