CD73 or CD39 Deletion Reveals Different Mechanisms of Formation for Spontaneous and Mechanically Stimulated Adenosine and Sex Specific Compensations in ATP Degradation

Adenosine is important for local neuromodulation, and rapid adenosine signaling can occur spontaneously or after mechanical stimulation, but little is known about how adenosine is formed in the extracellular space for those stimulations. Here, we studied mechanically stimulated and spontaneous adenosine to determine if rapid adenosine is formed by extracellular breakdown of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) using mice globally deficient in extracellular breakdown enzymes, either CD39 (nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 1, NTPDase1) or CD73 (ecto-5'-nucleotidase). CD39 knockout (KO) mice have a lower frequency of spontaneous adenosine events than wild-type (WT, C57BL/6). Surprisingly, CD73KO mice demonstrate sex differences in spontaneous adenosine; males maintain similar event frequencies as WT, but females have significantly fewer events and lower concentrations. Examining the mRNA expression of other enzymes that metabolize ATP revealed tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) was upregulated in male CD73KO mice, but not secreted prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) or transmembrane PAP. Thus, TNAP upregulation compensates for CD73 loss in males but not in females. These sex differences highlight that spontaneous adenosine is formed by metabolism of extracellular ATP by many enzymes. For mechanically stimulated adenosine, CD39KO or CD73KO did not change stimulation frequency, concentration, or t1/2. Thus, the mechanism of formation for mechanically stimulated adenosine is likely direct release of adenosine, different than spontaneous adenosine. Understanding these different mechanisms of rapid adenosine formation will help to develop pharmacological treatments that differentially target modes of rapid adenosine signaling, and all treatments should be studied in both sexes, given possible differences in extracellular ATP degradation.
