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 ...

Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterase Families as Targets to Treat Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Beyond PDE5 Inhibitors? [PDF]
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a fatal disease with no cure. Until recently, most specific therapies for PAH had aimed at enhancing cyclic nucleotide (cAMP and cGMP) pathways, taking advantage of the vasorelaxant and antiproliferative ...

The Molecular Mechanism of PDE1 Regulation [PDF]
The phosphodiesterase 1 genes PDE1A, PDE1B, and PDE1C encode calcium-regulated cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases that mediate the interplay between calcium and cyclic nucleotide signaling in the brain, heart, and vasculature.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

PDE10A as a novel diagnostic and therapeutic target in cancer: insights and challenges [PDF]
Phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) is a dual-substrate enzyme that hydrolyzes both cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), playing a critical role in regulating intracellular signaling pathways. While its function has

Family-Wide Dysregulation of Phosphodiesterases Alters cAMP/cGMP Microdomains in Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm [PDF]
Background: Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is driven by complex molecular mechanisms beyond size thresholds, yet the role of cyclic nucleotide metabolism remains unclear.
