Isolation and characterization of S49 mouse lymphoma cell mutants deficient in adenosine deaminase.
Adenosine deaminase-deficient mutants of a mouse lymphoma cell line S49 have been isolated by a two-step selection process. In the first step, we derived mutant lines containing haploid levels of adenosine deaminase activity from wild-type cells. The selective medium contained tritiated deoxyadenosine, deoxycytidine, and deoxycoformycin. Wild-type cells were killed, presumably because of suicidal incorporation of tritiated deoxyadenosine via the adenosine deaminase pathway. The second step was to derive, from the partially deficient mutants, sublines that were virtually lacking adenosine deaminase, using tritiated deoxyadenosine and deoxycytidine. Four mutant clones were found to contain less than 5% of the enzyme activity of wild-type cells and virtually no immunoreactive adenosine deaminase protein. Northern blot analysis showed that the levels of adenosine deaminase mRNA were drastically reduced. Back-selection for adenosine deaminase-positive revertants can be accomplished by using a medium containing deoxyadenosine (as a sole source of purine), aminopterin, and thymidine or, alternatively, by using deoxyadenosine alone in a serum-free medium.

Adenosine kinase deficiency in tritiated deoxyadenosine-resistant mouse S49 lymphoma cell lines.
Mutant sublines were derived of S49 mouse T-lymphoma cells that were resistant to tritiated deoxyadenosine. Twenty-five isolates that were selected in 1 microCi/ml of the nucleoside were cross-resistant to 6-thioguanine, were sensitive to HAT (hypoxanthine, aminopterin, and thymidine), and contained less than 1% of hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase activity in wild-type cells. One of the mutant clones, S49-dA2, was further subjected to selection in a medium containing 2 microCi/ml tritiated deoxyadenosine and 1 microgram/ml deoxycoformycin, an inhibitor of adenosine deaminase. All resistant subclones were cross-resistant to tubercidin, 6-methylmercaptopurine riboside, and arabinosyladenine. One of the subclones, S49-12, was completely devoid of adenosine kinase and was partially deficient in deoxyadenosine kinase. This subclone, however, contained wild-type levels of deoxycytidine kinase. DEAE chromatography of the wild-type cell extracts revealed two deoxyadenosine phosphorylating activities, one of which coeluted with adenosine kinase and was the enzyme missing in S49-12. The other species phosphorylated both deoxyadenosine and deoxycytidine, of which deoxycytidine was the preferred substrate.

Improved synthesis of 2'-deoxyformycin A and studies of its in vitro activity against mouse lymphoma of T-cell origin.
7-Amino-3-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine (2'-deoxyformycin A) was synthesized from formycin A by a sequence consisting of (i) 3',5'-cyclosilylation with 1,3-dichloro-1,1,3,3-tetraisopropyldisiloxane, (ii) 2'-acylation with phenoxythiocarbonyl chloride and 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine, (iii) N-trimethylsilylation with hexamethyldisilazane, (iv) reduction of the 2'-O-phenoxythiocarbonyl group with tri-n-butyltin hydride, and (v) desilylation with tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride. 2'-Deoxyformycin A was a potent inhibitor of the in vitro growth of S49 lymphoma, a murine tumor of T-cell origin. The IC50 of 2'-deoxyformycin A against S49 cells was 10-15 microM, whereas that of 2'-deoxyadenosine (dAdo) under the same conditions (72-h incubation in medium containing heat-inactivated horse serum) was 180 microM. In the presence of 10 microM erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)adenine (EHNA) to block intracellular adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity, 2'-deoxyformycin A and dAdo both gave IC50's of 5-10 microM. When assayed against a mutant S49 subline lacking adenosine kinase (AK) or a subline with a combined deletion of AK and deoxycytidine kinase (dCK), 2'-deoxyformycin A in combination with 10 microM EHNA was inactive at concentrations of up to 50 microM. Similar lack of activity against kinase-deficient cells was shown by formycin A. Thus, phosphorylation of 2'-deoxyformycin A appears to be required for biological activity and is probably catalyzed by AK rather than dCK. 2'-Deoxyformycin A and related 2'-deoxyribo-C-nucleoside analogues of the purine type may be of interest as potential T-cell specific cytotoxic agents.

Modulation of adenine nucleoside excretion and incorporation in adenosine deaminase deficient human lymphoma cells.
The availability of a human lymphoma cell line deficient in adenosine deaminase, adenosine kinase and methylthioadenosine phosphorylase enabled us to compare the effects of nucleoside transport inhibitors on the excretion of endogenously generated adenosine, deoxyadenosine and 5'-methylthioadenosine. The nucleoside transport inhibitors nitrobenzylthioinosine and dipyridamole blocked the efflux of adenosine, but not deoxyadenosine or 5'-methylthioadenosine. The inhibitors also prevented the uptake of exogenous adenosine, but not deoxyadenosine or 5'-methylthioadenosine, by human lymphoblasts. The results show (i) that the transport inhibitors modify adenine nucleoside efflux and influx similarly, and (ii) that the effects of the compounds on the excretion and uptake of these three physiologically important adenine nucleosides are distinctly different.

Clinical pharmacology of deoxycoformycin.
Deoxycoformycin (DCF) is an inhibitor of adenosine deaminase (ADA). Twenty-one courses of DCF were administered to 13 patients ranging in age from 15 to 78 yr. Eight patients had T-cell disorders, and five patients had non-T-cell malignancies. The i.v. bolus dose was escalated from 5 to 30 mg/sq m/day, and the duration of the courses ranged from 1 to 5 days. The DCF plasma half-life ranged from 4.9 to 6.2 hr and was independent of dose. The dose-limiting toxicities involved the central nervous system (CNS) and the kidneys. Other toxicities included bronchitis, decreases in hematocrit, arthralgias, and myalgias. Mortality was encountered in three patients. These toxic effects may have been secondary to the accumulation of the metabolites adenosine and deoxyadenosine. Deoxyadenosine and adenosine were both detectable in plasma (10(-6) M) and in urine (10(-3) M). Two partial remissions were observed: one in a patient with T-cell ALL and another in a patient with mycosis fungoides. Minimal responses characterized by either declines in peripheral blast counts or partial resolution of adenopathy were observed in five other patients. No responses were observed in six patients. These observations suggest that DCF is effective in the treatment of T-cell lymphoid malignancies.
