Selective inhibition of phosphodiesterases 4, 5 and 9 induces HSP20 phosphorylation and attenuates amyloid beta 1-42 mediated cytotoxicity [PDF]
, 2016 Phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors are currently under evaluation as agents that may facilitate the improvement of cognitive impairment associated with Alzheimer's disease. Our aim was to determine whether inhibitors of PDEs 4,5 and 9 could alleviate the

Age related histopathological and immunohistochemical changes in horse brains [PDF]
Kafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi, 2017 The aim of this study was to investigate age dependent pathological changes in horse brains. In the study, 10 mature horses aged between 10-16 years, 13 old horses aged between 17-21 years old and 7 young horses between 4-7 years old were examined ...

Biophysical Characterization of Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterases [PDF]
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2002 We have compared selected biophysical properties of three phosphodiesterases, from Arabidopsis thaliana, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Escherichia coli. All of them belong to a recently identified family of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases. Experiments elucidating folding stability, protein fluorescence, oligomerization behavior, and the effects of

Perspectives of PDE inhibitor on treating idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2023 Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive interstitial lung disease (ILD) without an identifiable cause. If not treated after diagnosis, the average life expectancy is 3–5 years.

Time Course of the Increase in the Myocardial Slow Inward Current after a Photochemically Generated Concentration Jump of Intracellular cAMP [PDF]
, 1983 Voltage-clamped atrial trabeculae from bullfrog hearts were exposed to membrane-permeant photolyzable o-nitrobenzyl esters of cAMP and cGMP. UV flashes produced intracellular concentration jumps of cAMP or cGMP. With the cAMP derivative, flashes resulted

Cyclic nucleotides and phosphodiesterases and airway function [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 1995 The cyclic nucleotides, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) play an important role in the regulation of airway smooth muscle tone and activation of inflammatory cells. Intracellular concentrations of these nucleotides are tightly regulated by phosphodiesterases (PDEs).

Cyclic nucleotide specific phosphodiesterases of Leishmania major [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2006 Abstract Background Leishmania represent a complex of important human pathogens that belong to the systematic order of the kinetoplastida. They are transmitted between their human and mammalian hosts by different bloodsucking sandfly vectors.
