General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function production of enzyme-deficient human Coxsackievirus-induced pluripotent stem cells and human HUES11 embryonic stem cells using shRNA. Both cells show >99% enzyme knock-down and demonstrate markedly decreased expression of the purinergic P2Y1 receptor mRNA. In Coxsackievirus-induced cells, P2Y1 mRNA and protein down-regulation by hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase knockdown is refractory to activation by the P2Y1 receptor agonist ATP and shows aberrant purinergic signaling, as reflected by marked deficiency of the transcription factor pCREB and constitutive activation of the MAP kinases phospho-ERK1/2. Moreover, hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase-knockdown Coxsackievirus-induced cells also demonstrate marked reduction of phosphorylated beta-catenin Homo sapiens
