Concentrations of the unchanged substrate are given. Ecto-enzymatic degradation of dNMP and dNMPS was measured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% (HeLa) or 20% fetal bovine serum (HUVECs) 24 hours after addition of 200 μM mononucleotides or following 2-hour incubation with 100 μM α,β-methylene-ADP. Concentrations of the unchanged substrate in the extracellular medium subsamples were estimated from the peak areas obtained after high-performance liquid chromatography. Data points represent means ± SDs of at least 3 experiments.

ADP indicates adenosine 5′-diphosphate. Other abbreviations are explained in Table 1.
