A comparative study on the levels of erythrocyte adenosine deaminase and lipid peroxidation has been undertaken in patients with myocardial infarction before and after thrombolysis along with matched healthy individuals. Our findings show that adenosine deaminase activity is highly elevated in post-reperfused patients when compared to pre- thrombolysed and healthy persons. Malondialdehyde(MDA) levels are also significantly increased in post-thrombolysed patients. The study reveals an important role of adenosine deaminase in reperfusion injury in patients with myocardial infarction.

A spectrum of neurological diseases with elevated cerebrospinal fluid adenosine deaminase levels.
J Neurol Sci
December 2024
Department of Neurology, Graduate School of Medicine, Chiba University, Chiba, Japan.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) adenosine deaminase (ADA) levels in various neurological disorders and examine the relationships between CSF ADA levels and immunological parameters.
Methods: Overall, 276 patients whose CSF ADA levels were measured for suspected tuberculous meningitis (TBM) were evaluated. Data on baseline characteristics, final diagnoses, CSF ADA levels, and other laboratory parameters were collected.
A Wonderful Journey: The Diverse Roles of Adenosine Deaminase Action on RNA 1 (ADAR1) in Central Nervous System Diseases.
CNS Neurosci Ther
January 2025
Jiujiang Clinical Precision Medicine Research Center, Jiujiang, Jiangxi, China.
Background: Adenosine deaminase action on RNA 1 (ADAR1) can convert the adenosine in double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules into inosine in a process known as A-to-I RNA editing. ADAR1 regulates gene expression output by interacting with RNA and other proteins; plays important roles in development, including growth; and is linked to innate immunity, tumors, and central nervous system (CNS) diseases.
Results: In recent years, the role of ADAR1 in tumors has been widely discussed, but its role in CNS diseases has not been reviewed.
A Novel Differentiation Nomogram Model for Brucellar Spondylitis and Tuberculous Spondylitis.
Infect Drug Resist
December 2024
Department of Spine Surgery, The First People's Hospital of Kashi Prefecture, Kashi, Xinjiang, 844000, People's Republic of China.
Background: Tuberculous spondylitis (TS) and brucellar spondylitis (BS) exhibit certain similarities in clinical presentation and imaging characteristics, making differential diagnosis challenging. Developing a reliable differential diagnosis model can assist clinicians in distinguishing between these two conditions at an early stage, allowing for targeted prevention and treatment strategies.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with TS and BS were retrospectively collected and randomized into training and validation cohorts (ratio 7:3).
Predictive marker for response to trifluridine/tipiracil plus bevacizumab in metastatic colorectal cancer patients.
BMC Cancer
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2-5-1 Shikata-Cho, Kita-Ku, Okayama, 700-8558, Japan.
Objective: Trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) is one of the options for late-line treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the specific patient populations that would particularly benefit from it remain unclear. This study attempted to identify predictive markers of chemotherapy efficacy with trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI), focusing on the RNA-editing enzyme adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 1 (ADAR1) expression and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR).

Z-nucleic acid binding protein 1 (ZBP1) is an innate immune sensor recognizing nucleic acids in Z-conformation. Upon Z-nucleic acid sensing, ZBP1 triggers innate immune activation, inflammation, and programmed cell death during viral infections, mice development, and inflammation-associated diseases. The Zα domains of ZBP1 sense Z-nucleic acids and promote RIP-homotypic interaction motif (RHIM)-dependent signaling complex assembly to mount cell death and inflammation.
