Preventing ATP Degradation by ASO-Mediated Knockdown of CD39 and CD73 Results in A2aR-Independent Rescue of T Cell Proliferation

The adenosine axis contributes to the suppression of antitumor immune responses. The ectonucleotidase CD39 degrades extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to adenosine monophosphate (AMP), which is degraded to adenosine by CD73. Adenosine binds to, e.g., the A2a receptor (A2aR), which reportedly...
