Endoplasmic reticulum stress mediates homocysteine-induced hypertrophy of cardiac cells through activation of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase 1C [PDF]
Although the association of elevated homocysteine level with cardiac hypertrophy has been reported, the molecular mechanisms by which homocysteine induces cardiac hypertrophy remain inadequately understood.

Identification and Localization of the Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterase 10A in Bovine Testis and Mature Spermatozoa. [PDF]
In mammals, adenosine 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) is known to play highly important roles in sperm motility and acrosomal exocytosis. It is known to act through protein phosphorylation via PRKA and through the activation of guanine nucleotide ...

AMPK antagonizes hepatic glucagon-stimulated cyclic AMP signalling via phosphorylation-induced activation of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase 4B [PDF]
The diabetes drug Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production and activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Here the authors provide evidence that AMPK activation antagonizes glucagon signalling by activating PDE4B, lowering cAMP levels and ...

PDE Inhibitors and Autophagy Regulators Modulate CRE-Dependent Luciferase Activity in Neuronal Cells from the Mouse Suprachiasmatic Nucleus [PDF]
Background: Signaling pathways like those depending on cAMP/PKA, calcium/calmodulin/CaMK, MEK-1/MAPK or PI3K/Akt have been described to modulate suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) neuronal signaling via influencing transcription factors like CREB.

Phenotypic, chemical and functional characterization of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) as a potential anthelmintic drug target. [PDF]
Reliance on just one drug to treat the prevalent tropical disease, schistosomiasis, spurs the search for new drugs and drug targets. Inhibitors of human cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (huPDEs), including PDE4, are under development as novel drugs ...

Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases [PDF]
Cyclic nucleotide second messengers (cAMP and cGMP) play a central role in signal transduction and regulation of physiologic responses. Their intracellular levels are controlled by the complex superfamily of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) enzymes. Continuing advances in our understanding of the molecular pharmacology of these enzymes has led

Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase 1 and vascular aging. [PDF]
VSMCs (vascular smooth muscle cells) play critical roles in arterial remodelling with aging, hypertension and atherosclerosis. VSMCs exist in diverse phenotypes and exhibit phenotypic plasticity, e.g. changing from a quiescent/contractile phenotype to an active myofibroblast-like, often called ‘synthetic’, phenotype.

Novel Radioligands for Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterase Imaging with Positron Emission Tomography: An Update on Developments Since 2012 [PDF]
Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are a class of intracellular enzymes that inactivate the secondary messenger molecules, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP).

Inhibition mechanism of rat cerebral cortex cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDE) by reticulol was investigated. The inhibition of PDE by reticulol was not reduced in the presence of excess PDE activating factor (PAF) or/and Ca2+ ion. Reticulol showed lower Ki values for Ca2+-PAF dependent PDE than for Ca2+ independent PDE.
