ENT3 Knockout Mouse Liver Whole Transcriptome Array

ABSTRACT: Despite the well-established role of equilibrative nucleoside transporters (ENTs) in salvaging nucleosides for DNA synthesis, the presence of multiple ENT subfamilies within a single genome suggests putative, non-redundant functions in maintaining cellular homeostasis. In this study, we demonstrate that, in contrast to endolysosomal ENT3, which promotes autophagy, cell surface-localized ENT1 is capable of inhibiting autophagy by suppressing AMPK phosphorylation. Consistent with this, silencing ENT1 induces autophagy, whereas silencing ENT3 suppresses it. ENT1⁻/⁻ and ENT3⁻/⁻ mice display autophagic proficiency and deficiency, respectively. These findings underscore a dynamic and reciprocal regulatory relationship between ENT1 and ENT3 in autophagy, offering new avenues for therapeutic modulation in autophagy-related disorders.
