Effect of Quazodine on Phosphodiesterase

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1971
SummaryQuazodine (6,7-dimethoxy-4-ethylquinazoline, MJ 1988) was up to 6 times as potent as theophylline in inhibiting PDE partially purified from a number of rabbit tissues and beef brain. As with theophylline, inhibition of PDE could be the underlying mechanism for the bronchodilator and cardiovascular effects of quazodine.

Long Term High‐Salt Diet Induces Cognitive Impairments via Down‐Regulating SHANK1

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study identifies a novel mechanistic link between long‐term HS diet and cognitive impairment, wherein PKA/CREB axis inactivation leads to SHANK1 reduction, synaptic damage, and cognitive deficits. Abstract High‐salt (HS) diet is an established risk factor for cognitive impairment, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Respiratory Cilia as a Therapeutic Target of Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Mucociliary clearance is an essential airway defense mechanism dependent predominantly on the proper ciliary function and mucus rheology. The crucial role of cilia is evident in `a variety of respiratory diseases, as the ciliary dysfunction is associated

NPR1 Promotes Lipid Droplet Lipolysis to Enhance Mitochondrial Oxidative Phosphorylation and Fuel Gastric Cancer Metastasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
NPR1 induces lipolysis of stored lipid droplet and enhances mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation to fuel gastric cancer metastasis. Specifically, NPR1‐mediated activation of PKG directly phosphorylates and activates HSL at Ser855 and Ser951, thereby driving lipolytic processes.

The Development of Compartmentation of cAMP Signaling in Cardiomyocytes: The Role of T-Tubules and Caveolae Microdomains

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2018
3′-5′-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a signaling messenger produced in response to the stimulation of cellular receptors, and has a myriad of functional applications depending on the cell type.

Phosphodiesterase 4D: an enzyme to remember [PDF]

British Journal of Pharmacology, 2015
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is one of the second messengers critically involved in the molecular mechanisms underlying memory formation. In the CNS, the availability of cAMP is tightly controlled by phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4), a family of enzymes that degrades the cyclic nucleotide to inactive AMP.

Sequence‐ and Docking‐Site‐Dependent Contributions to Multi‐Site Phosphorylation of an Intrinsically Disordered MAPK Substrate

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Real‐time NMR spectroscopy is used to study JNK1‐dependent phosphorylation of the intrinsically disordered substrate JIP1, revealing eleven phosphosites with distinct phosphorylation efficiencies. The site‐specific phosphorylation rates are shown to be determined by both the sequence position of the phosphosites relative to the two kinase docking site ...

Adenosine A1 Receptor-Mediated Synaptic Depression in the Developing Hippocampal Area CA2

Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2020
Immunolabeling for adenosine A1 receptors (A1Rs) is high in hippocampal area CA2 in adult rats, and the potentiating effects of caffeine or other A1R-selective antagonists on synaptic responses are particularly robust at Schaffer collateral synapses in ...

Improving Memory: A Role for Phosphodiesterases [PDF]

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2006
During the last decennia, our understanding of the neurobiological processes underlying learning and memory has continuously improved, leading to the identification of targets for the development of memory-enhancing drugs. Here we review a class of drugs which has more recently been identified: the phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors.
