Variations in purine metabolism of cultured skin fibroblasts from patients with gout

RESUMO
Purine metabolism was studied in fibroblasts cultured from three patients with gout in an attempt to determine the biochemical bases of their disease. The rate of purine biosynthesis de novo was normal in one line of cells, but the rate of catabolism of adenine nucleotides to hypoxanthine and inosine was greatly increased. The rate of purine biosynthesis de novo was increased in two lines of cells, and this was associated with increased concentrations of 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate. Purine synthesis was also less sensitive than normal to feedback inhibition. The catabolism of inosinate synthesized de novo was increased.
