Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterase Families as Targets to Treat Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Beyond PDE5 Inhibitors? [PDF]

Cells
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 ...

Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Activity Limits Blood Flow to Hypoperfused Myocardium During Exercise [PDF]

Circulation, 2000
Background—Nitric oxide (NO) causes vasodilation by stimulation of guanylate cyclase in vascular smooth muscle to produce cGMP. The resultant vasodilator effect is regulated by a family of cGMP phosphodiesterases (PDEs). Sildenafil, a selective inhibitor of PDE5 used for treatment of erectile dysfunction, has been found to cause relaxation of isolated ...

Identification and Localization of the Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterase 10A in Bovine Testis and Mature Spermatozoa. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
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 ...

Roles of A-Kinase Anchoring Proteins and Phosphodiesterases in the Cardiovascular System

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2018
A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) and cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are essential enzymes in the cyclic adenosine 3’-5’ monophosphate (cAMP) signaling cascade.

Dunce mutants of Drosophila melanogaster: mutants defective in the cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase enzyme system [PDF]

, 1981
The cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase activities present in flies of six mutant strains of the dunce gene and in the parent wild- type strains are characterized. All of the mutants exhibit aberrant cyclic AMP metabolism.

cAMP catalyzing phosphodiesterases control cholinergic muscular activity but their inhibition does not enhance 5-HT4 receptor-mediated facilitation of cholinergic contractions in the murine gastrointestinal tract [PDF]

, 2018
Background: As the signal transduction of 5-HT4 receptors on cholinergic neurons innervating smooth muscle is controlled by phosphodiesterase (PDE) 4 in porcine stomach and colon, and human large intestine, the in vivo gastroprokinetic effects of a 5-HT4

Bacillus anthracis edema factor substrate specificity: evidence for new modes of action [PDF]

, 2012
Since the isolation of Bacillus anthracis exotoxins in the 1960s, the detrimental activity of edema factor (EF) was considered as adenylyl cyclase activity only.

The role of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases in the regulation of adipocyte lipolysis

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
This study assessed the effects of selective inhibitors of 3′,5′-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) on adipocyte lipolysis. IC224, a selective inhibitor of type 1 phosphodiesterase (PDE1), suppressed lipolysis in murine 3T3-L1 adipocytes (69.6 ±

The Guanylate Cyclase C-cGMP Signaling Axis Opposes Intestinal Epithelial Injury and Neoplasia. [PDF]

, 2018
Guanylate cyclase C (GUCY2C) is a transmembrane receptor expressed on the luminal aspect of the intestinal epithelium. Its ligands include bacterial heat-stable enterotoxins responsible for traveler\u27s diarrhea, the endogenous peptide hormones ...
