| Research Abstract |
Thymidine phosphorylase (TP) is identical to platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (PD-ECGF). Although many reports indicate that TP has angiogenic activity and plays pivotal role in tumor progression, the mechanism of the TP functions is not fully understood. We therefore investigatedthe molecular basis for the TP functions. TP augmented the production of ROS by increasing the intracellular level of NADPH, a substrate for NADPH oxidase. The ROS induced by TP activated NF・B, which subsequently enhanced the promoter activity and expression of IL-8. Furthermore, we demonstrated for the first time that thymidine-derived metabolites entered the glycolytic pathway and the pentose phosphate pathway. Production of ATP and NADPH was consequently augmented in TP-expressing cells. These findings suggest that catabolism of thymidine plays an important role in the survival and growthof cancer cells in a microenvironment where nutrients are insufficient.
