Overview of Gene Research
Entpd1, also known as CD39, is an ectonucleotidase that plays a strategic role in the purinergic signaling pathway. It is the rate-limiting enzyme in the cascade converting ADP/ATP to AMP, which can ultimately lead to the generation of immunosuppressive adenosine through the action of CD73 [1,2,3]. This pathway is crucial in calibrating the immune response, shifting from a pro-inflammatory ATP-driven environment to an anti-inflammatory adenosine-induced milieu, and thus is important in various pathophysiological events [2]. Gene knockout models have been instrumental in studying its function.
In cancer, knockout models have shown that Entpd1 plays a significant role. In hepatic metastatic cancer models, Cd39 null mice or wild-type mice with circulating Cd39 null bone marrow-derived cells had strongly inhibited hepatic growth of melanoma metastatic tumors, indicating that CD39 expression on CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) promotes tumor growth by suppressing antitumor immunity mediated by natural killer cells [6]. In colorectal cancer, disrupting the Entpd1 gene in engineered T cells targeting HER-2 conferred a functional advantage in eliminating HER-2+ patient-derived organoids in vitro and in vivo, highlighting CD39 as a major driver of T-cell exhaustion [5]. In addition, in a sepsis model, CD39-/-mice exhibited higher levels of inflammatory cytokines and more pronounced liver injury than wild-type mice, suggesting that CD39 attenuates sepsis-associated liver injury by scavenging extracellular ATP [4].
In conclusion, Entpd1 is a key enzyme in the purinergic signaling pathway, playing a crucial role in immune regulation. Gene knockout mouse models have revealed its significance in cancer, such as promoting metastatic tumor growth and being a driver of T-cell exhaustion, as well as in sepsis-induced liver injury. Understanding Entpd1 function through these models provides potential therapeutic targets for these diseases.
