Tuberculous pleural effusions: advances and controversies.

Journal of thoracic disease

Vorster MJ, Allwood BW, Diacon AH, Koegelenberg CF.
PMID: 26150911
J Thorac Dis. 2015 Jun;7(6):981-91. doi: 10.3978/j.issn.2072-1439.2015.02.18.

On a global scale, tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the most frequent causes of pleural effusions. Our understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease has evolved and what was once thought to be an effusion as a result of...

CD26 expression and adenosine deaminase activity in regulatory T cells (Treg) and CD4(+) T effector cells in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Oncoimmunology

Mandapathil M, Szczepanski M, Harasymczuk M, Ren J, Cheng D, Jackson EK, Gorelik E, Johnson J, Lang S, Whiteside TL.
PMID: 22934258
Oncoimmunology. 2012 Aug 01;1(5):659-669. doi: 10.4161/onci.20387.

Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is responsible for the deamination of immunosuppressive adenosine to inosine. In human T lymphocytes, ADA is associated with dipeptidyl peptidase IV (CD26). ADA expression and activity were evaluated in regulatory T cells (Treg) and CD4(+) T...

Atypical Omenn Syndrome due to Adenosine Deaminase Deficiency.

Case reports in immunology

Joshi AY, Ham EK, Shah NB, Dong X, Khan SP, Abraham RS.
PMID: 25954555
Case Reports Immunol. 2012;2012:919241. doi: 10.1155/2012/919241. Epub 2012 May 31.

We present here a novel case of an atypical Omenn syndrome (OS) phenotype due to mutations in the ADA gene encoding adenosine deaminase. This case is noteworthy for a significant increase in circulating CD56(bright)CD16- cytokine-producing NK cells after treatment...

Serum adenosine deaminase in patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated with methotrexate.

Journal of research in pharmacy practice

Salesi M, Ghazvini RA, Farajzadegan Z, Karimifar M, Karimzadeh H, Masoumi M, Ebrahimi B.
PMID: 24991593
J Res Pharm Pract. 2012 Oct;1(2):72-6. doi: 10.4103/2279-042X.108374.

OBJECTIVE: Recently, adenosine deaminase (ADA) is introduced as helpful marker in diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of treatment in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of the serum ADA in diagnosis, prognosis, and...

A-to-I RNA Editing: Current Knowledge Sources and Computational Approaches with Special Emphasis on Non-Coding RNA Molecules.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol. 2015 Mar 25;3:37. doi: 10.3389/fbioe.2015.00037. eCollection 2015.

RNA editing is a dynamic mechanism for gene regulation attained through the alteration of the sequence of primary RNA transcripts. A-to-I (adenosine-to-inosine) RNA editing, which is catalyzed by members of the adenosine deaminase acting on RNA (ADAR) family of...

Oral administration of Lactobacillus plantarum 299v modulates gene expression in the ileum of pigs: prediction of crosstalk between intestinal immune cells and sub-mucosal adipocytes.
