Abstract Background and Purpose Acetylcholine plays a key role in striatal function. Firing properties of striatal cholinergic interneurons depend on intracellular cAMP through the regulation of Ih currents. Yet, the dynamics of cyclic nucleotide signalling in these neurons have remained elusive.

The PDE4 inhibitor rolipram reverses object memory impairment induced by acute tryptophan depletion in the rat [PDF]
The selective type IV phosphodiesterase inhibitor, rolipram, has been shown to improve long-term memory and can reverse the cholinergic deficit caused by scopolamine. However, the underlying mechanisms of action of rolipram remain obscure.

Abstract INTRODUCTION Malnutrition correlates with neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPSs) in Alzheimer's disease (AD); however, the potential mechanism underlying this association remains unclear. METHODS Baseline and longitudinal associations of nutritional status with NPSs were analyzed in 374 patients on the AD continuum and 61 healthy controls.

Effects of PDE4 Pathway Inhibition in Rat Experimental Stroke
PURPOSE: The first genomewide association study indicated that variations in the phosphodiesterase 4D (PDE4D) gene confer risk for ischemic stroke. However, inconsistencies among the studies designed to replicate the findings indicated the need for ...

Quantification of human brain PDE4 occupancy by GSK356278: A [11C](R)-rolipram PET study
We characterized the relationship between the plasma concentration of the phospodiesterase (PDE)-4 inhibitor GSK356278 and occupancy of the PDE4 enzyme in the brain of healthy volunteers, using the positron emission tomography (PET) tracer [11C](R ...

In vitro gametogenesis: Towards competent oocytes
Functional gametes can be obtained by differentiation of pluripotent stem cells in culture. Here we review challenges faced by current approaches for obtaining developmentally competent oocytes from mouse embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells.

Mechanisms of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases in modulating T cell responses in murine graft-versus-host disease. [PDF]
Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) is a key contributor to the morbidity and mortality after allogeneic hematopoetic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Regulatory Foxp3(+) CD4(+) T cells (Treg) suppress conventional T cell activation and can control GvHD ...
