In 32PO4-labeled adipocytes, isoproterenol (ISO) or physiologically relevant concentrations of insulin rapidly increased phosphorylation of a particulate 135-kDa protein which has been identified as a cGMP-inhibited "low Km" cAMP phosphodiesterase (CGI-PDE) by several criteria, including selective immunoprecipitation with anti-CGI-PDE IgG (Degerman, E., Smith, C.J., Tornqvist, H., Vasta, V., Belfrage, P., and Manganiello, V.C. (1990) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 87, 533-537). The time courses and concentration dependences for phosphorylation of CGI-PDE by ISO and insulin correlated with CGI-PDE activation in the presence of these agents; effects of ISO were somewhat more rapid than those of insulin. Adenosine deaminase, which metabolizes the adenylate cyclase inhibitor adenosine, also rapidly induced phosphorylation and activation of CGI-PDE. Phenylisopropyladenosine (an adenosine deaminase-resistant adenosine analog) prevented or reversed both adenosine deaminase-stimulated phosphorylation and activation of CGI-PDE (IC50 approximately 0.2 nM). Incubation of adipocytes with 0.1 nM insulin in the presence of ISO rapidly produced 30-200% greater activation and phosphorylation of CGI-PDE than the expected added effects of insulin and ISO individually; both effects preceded the insulin-induced decreases in protein kinase A activity and inhibition of lipolysis. These and other results indicate that CGI-PDE can be phosphorylated at distinct sites and activated by cAMP-dependent and insulin-dependent serine kinase(s), that the activation state of CGI-PDE reflects its relative phosphorylation state, and that synergistic phosphorylation/activation of CGI-PDE may be important in the antilipolytic action of insulin.

Experiments have been performed to characterize guinea-pig peritoneal eosinophil cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity and establish whether it is involved in regulating superoxide (.O2-) generation. Eosinophils were found to contain a predominantly membrane-bound cAMP PDE(s) (92.5 +/- 2.4% of total activity) which was resistant to solubilization with Triton X-100 (1%). This particulate PDE exhibited complex kinetics (Km = 1.3 and 31.4 microM) and was unaffected by cGMP (IC50 greater than 100 microM) or CaCl2 (2 mM) + calmodulin (10 units/mL). Little cGMP PDE activity was detected in either the soluble or particulate fractions. Inhibitors of the Ro-20-1724-inhibited (Type IV) cAMP PDE, namely Ro-20-1724 (IC50 = 0.92 +/- 0.43 microM), rolipram (IC50 = 0.20 +/- 0.04 microM) and denbufylline (IC50 = 0.20 +/- 0.01 microM), potently inhibited the particulate cAMP PDE, as did the non-selective inhibitors trequinsin (IC50 = 0.11 +/- 0.02 microM) and AH-21-132 (IC50 = 2.57 +/- 0.02 microM). Eosinophil cAMP PDE was resistant to SK&F 94120 (IC50 greater than 1000 microM), the cGMP-inhibited (Type III) cAMP PDE inhibitor, and the cGMP PDE (Type I) inhibitor, zaprinast, was only weakly active (IC50 = 35.33 +/- 10.74 microM). .O2- release from resting cells was potently inhibited by rolipram (IC50 = 0.05 +/- 0.03 microM) and denbufylline (IC50 = 0.06 +/- 0.04 microM) but surprisingly, in view of its potent cAMP PDE inhibitory activity, was only weakly decreased by trequinsin (IC50 = 8.0 +/- 2.7 microM). AH-21-132 (IC50 greater than 10 microM), SK&F 94120 (IC50 greater than 10 microM) and zaprinast (IC50 greater than 10 microM) were without effect. Rolipram and denbufylline alone exerted little effect on cAMP in intact cells but, in the presence of 10 microM isoprenaline, potently increased intracellular accumulation (EC50 = 0.45 +/- 0.16 and 0.28 +/- 0.08 microM, respectively). Trequinsin and AH-21-132 only weakly enhanced isoprenaline-stimulated cAMP accumulation. Although it induced a marked rise in cAMP only in the presence of isoprenaline, rolipram (50 microM) alone was able to increase the activity ratio of cAMP-dependent protein kinase from 0.24 to 0.84. The results suggest that Ro-20-1724-inhibited cAMP PDE plays a role in regulating eosinophil .O2- generation. The poor correlation between the PDE inhibitory actions of certain compounds and their effectiveness in elevating cAMP and inhibiting .O2- suggests the existence of a barrier impeding access to the enzyme.

Knowledge about second messenger metabolizing enzymes in neuroglia is still rather fragmentary. Therefore, the aim of the present investigation was to localize adenylate cyclase, guanylate cyclase, cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase and protein kinase A in glial cells of the rat hippocampus and cerebellum. Enzyme histochemical and immunohistochemical methods were used to detect the enzymes at the light and electron microscopic level. Astroglial cells were found to contain all 4 enzymes. Especially the microvascular glial cell processes were reactive. Oligodendroglial cells were only stained for adenylate cyclase acticity. Intracellularly, microtubules and intracellular membranes were frequently stained. The results point to the regulation of glial cell metabolism and of transport processes by cyclic nucleotides.

In Dictyostelium, cAMP functions as an extracellular regulatory molecule that controls aggregation, expression of a number of classes of genes, and cellular differentiation by binding to cell-surface receptors that activate intracellular signal transduction pathways. To investigate possible roles for intracellular cAMP, we have overexpressed the wild-type mouse type-I regulatory subunit (RI) of cAMP-dependent protein C (PKA) in Dictyostelium cells, as well as mutant forms of the subunit that are altered in their ability to bind cAMP. We show that overexpression of a mutated RI, which lacks both cAMP-binding sites and presumably forms a complex with the endogenous Dictyostelium catalytic subunit that cannot be activated by cAMP, results in cells that do not aggregate or express sets of genes that are normally induced in the multicellular stages. Transformations that express the mutant subunit at low levels show no observable phenotype. We show that these cells can respond to pulses of cAMP and activate cAMP receptor/G protein-mediated processes, including the activation of adenylate and guanylate cyclases and the induction of a class of genes known to be regulated through the receptor-mediated pathways; however, the cells do show an altered pattern of expression of other genes normally active during the preaggregation/interphase and aggregation stages. Of interest is a substantial overexpression of the developmentally regulated PDE mRNA. Cell lines carrying constructs encoding the wild-type subunit or mutant subunits lacking one of the two binding sites show no visual phenotype. The results suggest that PKA-mediated functions, presumably controlled by increases in intracellular cAMP, are essential for Dictyostelium aggregation.

Cardiac function is based on the complex biochemistry of cardiac muscle contraction. Contributing factors are action potential, membrane receptors, ion channels and G proteins, the important effectors in the sarcoplasm, particularly calcium ion and protein kinase, and the interaction of the contractile proteins. These are various pharmacological approaches to cardiovascular function by modulating the myocardial biochemistry. These include beta agonists, beta antagonists, mixed adrenergic agonists, nonadrenergic inotropes (including PDE III inhibitors), and nonadrenergic vasodilators.

Incubation of intact rat fat cells with maximally effective concentrations of insulin (1 nM, 12 min) or isoprenaline (300 nM, 3 min) increased particulate cGMP- and cilostamide-inhibited, low-Km cAMP phosphodiesterase (cAMP-PDE) activity by about 50% and 100%, respectively. In 32P-labeled cells, these agents induced serine 32P-phosphorylation of a 135-kDa particulate protein and, to a variable and lesser extent, a 44-kDa protein, which were selectively immunoprecipitated by anti-cAMP-PDE, as analyzed by SDS/PAGE and autoradiography. In the absence of hormonal stimulation, little phosphorylation was detected (less than 10% of that with the hormones). The two phosphoproteins were identified as cAMP-PDE or a closely related molecule (in the case of the 44-kDa species, perhaps a proteolytic fragment) since (i) amounts of 32P in the immunoprecipitated 135-kDa protein paralleled enzyme inactivation, (ii) prior incubation of the anti-cAMP-PDE with the pure rat or bovine enzyme selectively blocked the immunoprecipitation of the phosphoproteins, (iii) 135- and 44-kDa proteins reacted with the anti-cAMP-PDE on Western immunoblots, and (iv) the two phosphoproteins copurified with cAMP-PDE activity through DEAE-Sephacel chromatography and were isolated by highly selective affinity chromatography on cilostamide-agarose. Thus, in fat cells, catecholamine- and insulin-induced activation of the cAMP-PDE may be mediated via phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase and an insulin-activated serine protein kinase, respectively.

1. The pharmacological and biochemical effects of a novel cardiotonic agent, Org10325 have been studied in isolated cardiac and vascular tissue preparations. 2. Org10325 produced concentration-dependent (0.15-4.8 mM) positive inotropic, positive chronotropic and vascular relaxant responses in rabbit isolated papillary, atrial and aortic preparations, respectively. The maximal chronotropic effect (45%) was significantly less than the isoprenaline maximum. The inotropic effects of Org10325 were not modified by alpha- or beta-adrenoceptor blockade or by pretreatment with reserpine. Org10325 was at least 23 times more potent at relaxing aortic strips pre-contracted with phenylephrine than with KCl. 3. Org10325 (74 microM) potentiated (10-14 fold) the positive inotropic effects of isoprenaline in rabbit isolated papillary muscles. Carbachol inhibited the positive inotropic effect of Org10325. Both the positive inotropic and vasorelaxant effects of Org10325 were accompanied by increases in cyclic AMP but not cyclic GMP. 4. In rat perfused heart preparation Org10325 increased phosphorylase a, cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activities and stimulated phosphorylation of contractile proteins (troponin-I and C-protein). 5. Org10325 selectively inhibited the cyclic AMP hydrolytic activity of cyclic AMP high affinity cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) isoenzymes, PDE III (IC50 65 microM) and PDE IV (IC50 71 microM), from rabbit cardiac ventricle. Weak inhibition (IC50 greater than 250 microM) of PDE I and PDE II was observed. 6. The results show that the cardiac and vascular effects of Org10325 are mediated by an increase in cellular cyclic AMP due to inhibition of PDE III and PDE IV activities. However, in contrast to other PDE-inhibitors OrglO325 produced a marked increase in relaxation time of isolated papillary muscle suggesting the involvement of additional cyclic AMP-independent mechanisms of action.

We report the results of experiments which support the hypothesis that, in mouse oocytes, a decrease in intraoocyte cyclic AMP (cAMP) initiates meiotic maturation; oocytes microinjected with cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) underwent germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) in the presence of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX), which inhibited GVBD both in oocytes not injected with PDE and in oocytes injected with heat-inactivated PDE. Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PK) has been proposed to mediate maintenance of meiotic arrest by cAMP. In support of this hypothesis is the observation that 2'-deoxy cAMP, which does not activate PK, did not maintain meiotic arrest as did cAMP; this result was obtained both by microinjection of these compounds and by incubating oocytes in the presence of their membrane-permeable N6-monobutyryl derivatives. Furthermore, microinjection into oocytes of the heat-stable inhibitor of PK, PKI, induced GVBD in the presence of either dibutyryl cAMP (dbcAMP) or IBMX. Meiotic arrest was maintained in the absence of dbcAMP or IBMX, however, by microinjected catalytic subunit of PK, but not by catalytic subunit coinjected with PKI. In addition, specific changes in oocyte phosphoproteins that preceded resumption of meiosis were induced, in the presence of dbcAMP, by microinjected PKI; these changes were also tightly coupled with commitment of oocytes to resume meiosis. These results are discussed in terms of our model for regulation of meiotic arrest and maturation.

The slow inward Ca2+ current, ICa, is fundamental in the initiation of cardiac contraction and neurohormonal regulation of cardiac function. It is increased by beta-adrenergic agonists, which stimulate synthesis of cyclic AMP (cAMP) and cAMP-dependent phosphorylation. The neurotransmitter acetylcholine reduces ICa by an unknown mechanism. There is strong evidence that acetylcholine reduces ICa by decreasing adenylate cyclase activity, but cGMP has also been implicated as ACh stimulates cGMP accumulation and activates cGMP-dependent protein kinase. Application of cGMP decreases contractile force, decreases Ca flux, shortens the duration of action potentials and inhibits Ca-dependent action potentials. Other studies, however, have concluded that cGMP levels do not correlate with contractile force and that cGMP has no effect on ICa. We have therefore examined the effects of intracellular perfusion of cGMP on ICa using isolated, voltage-clamped cells from frog ventricle. We find that cGMP has negligible effects on basal ICa, but greatly decreases the ICa that had been elevated by beta-adrenergic agonists or by intracellular perfusion with cAMP. The decrease of ICa is mediated by cAMP hydrolysis via a cGMP-stimulated cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase.

Activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase II by static and dynamic steady-state cAMP levels was studied by reconstituting an in vitro model system composed of hormone-sensitive adenylate cyclase, cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, and cAMP-dependent protein kinase II. The rates of cAMP synthesis were regulated by incubating isolated membranes from AtT20 cells with various concentrations of forskolin. In the presence of 3-methylisobutylxanthine, the rate of protein kinase activation was proportional to the rate at which cAMP was synthesized, and there was a direct relationship between the degree of activation and the level of cAMP produced. The activation profiles of protein kinase generated in the presence of exogenous cAMP or cAMP produced by activation of adenylate cyclase in the absence of cAMP degradation were indistinguishable. Dynamic steady-state levels of cAMP were achieved by incubating the membranes with forskolin in the presence of purified cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase. Under these conditions, the apparent activation constant of protein kinase II for cAMP was reduced by 65-75%. This increased sensitivity to activation by cAMP was seen when phosphotransferase activity was measured directly in reaction mixtures containing membranes, protein kinase, and histone H2B or when regulatory and catalytic subunits were first separated by immunoprecipitation of holoenzyme and regulatory subunits with specific anti-serum. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that rapid cAMP turnover may function as a mechanism for amplifying hormonal signals which use the cAMP-dependent protein kinase system.
