| Abstract | 3-Deazaadenosine (c3Ado) has been reported to inhibit a number of cellular functions. These biological effects of c3Ado have generally been attributed to its ability to act as inhibitor and substrate of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase. In this report, it is revealed by fluorescence microscopy that c3Ado caused disorganization of the microfilament system of mouse macrophages at concentrations (greater than or equal to 5 microM) similar to those that inhibited antibody-dependent phagocytosis and zymosan-stimulated H2O2 production by these cells. Inhibition of phagocytosis and perturbation of microfilaments by c3Ado were completely abrogated by washing the macrophages free of this agent and allowing the cells a 30-min recovery period. Furthermore, these effects of c3Ado on phagocytosis and microfilaments appeared to be independent of the increase in S-adenosylhomocysteine and S-3-deazaadenosylhomocysteine that occurred in these macrophages. First, periodate-oxidized adenosine and 3-deaza(+/-)aristeromycin, two other inhibitors of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase that caused greater increases in macrophage S-adenosylhomocysteine than did c3Ado, had no effect on either phagocytosis or microfilaments. Second, pretreatment of macrophages with periodate-oxidized adenosine (to inhibit S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase) prevented the subsequent metabolism of c3Ado to S-3-deazaadenosylhomocysteine but did not diminish the effects of c3Ado on phagocytosis or microfilaments. These results demonstrate that c3Ado can perturb the microfilament system of cells and provide an alternative mechanism for the biological effects of c3Ado. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
