New insights on the regulation of the adenine nucleotide pool of erythrocytes in mouse models.

The observation that induced torpor in non-hibernating mammals could result from an increased AMP concentration in circulation led our investigation to reveal that the added AMP altered oxygen transport of erythrocytes.

description The observation that induced torpor in non-hibernating mammals could result from an increased AMP concentration in circulation led our investigation to reveal that the added AMP altered oxygen transport of erythrocytes. To further study the effect of AMP in regulation of erythrocyte function and systemic metabolism, we generated mouse models deficient in key erythrocyte enzymes in AMP metabolism. We have previously reported altered erythrocyte adenine nucleotide levels corresponding to altered oxygen saturation in mice deficient in both CD73 and AMPD3. Here we further investigate how these Ampd3-/-/Cd73-/- mice respond to the administered dose of AMP in comparison with the control models of single enzyme deficiency and wild type. We found that Ampd3-/-/Cd73-/- mice are more sensitive to AMP-induced hypometabolism than mice with a single enzyme deficiency, which are more sensitive than wild type. A dose-dependent rightward shift of erythrocyte p50 values in response to increasing amounts of extracellular AMP was observed. We provide further evidence for the direct uptake of AMP by erythrocytes that is insensitive to dipyridamole, a blocker for ENT1. The uptake of AMP by the erythrocytes remained linear at the highest concentration tested, 10mM. We also observed competitive inhibition of AMP uptake by ATP and ADP but not by the other nucleotides and metabolites tested. Importantly, our studies suggest that AMP uptake is associated with an erythrocyte ATP release that is partially sensitive to inhibition by TRO19622 and Ca++ ion. Taken together, our study suggests a novel mechanism by which erythrocytes recycle and maintain their adenine nucleotide pool through AMP uptake and ATP release.
