Effect of selective phosphodiesterase inhibitors on the rat eosinophil chemotactic response in vitro

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1997
In the present study, we have performed a comparative analysis of the effect of selective inhibitors of phosphodiesterase (PDE) type III, IV and V on eosinophil chemotaxis triggered by platelet activating factor (PAF) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) in vitro ...

ENPP1, an Old Enzyme with New Functions, and Small Molecule Inhibitors—A STING in the Tale of ENPP1

Molecules, 2019
Ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase I (ENPP1) was identified several decades ago as a type II transmembrane glycoprotein with nucleotide pyrophosphatase and phosphodiesterase enzymatic activities, critical for purinergic signaling. Recently,

Cyclic AMP signalling in pancreatic islets [PDF]

, 2010
Cyclic 3'5'AMP (cAMP) is an important physiological amplifier of glucose-induced insulin secretion by the pancreatic islet β-cell, where it is formed by the activity of adenylyl cyclases, which are stimulated by glucose, through elevation in ...

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.

Phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors: are they cardioprotective? [PDF]

Cardiovascular Research, 2009
A growing body of animal studies provides evidence for potential cardioprotective effects of inhibitors of the enzyme phosphodiesterase isoform 5. Infarct size reduction by administration of phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors was described in various experimental models of ischaemia and reperfusion.

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.
