Activation by protein kinase A by forskolin phosphorylates and inactivates Na+,K(+)-ATPase in COS-7 cells (Cheng et al. 1997b). In this study we show, using [3H]ouabain binding, that forskolin-induced inhibition of Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity is not because of internalization of the enzyme. The effect of forskolin on Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity was examined by two independent methods, ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake in intact cells and ATP hydrolysis in microsomal preparations from cells. The change in number of functional pumps on cell surface before and after protein kinase A activation was assessed by [3H]ouabain binding measured under equilibrium conditions. Cells, which had been ATP-depleted by antimycin A and 2-deoxyglucose treatment, served as a positive control for the internalization of Na+,K(+)-ATPase. Activation of protein kinase A with forskolin in combination with the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methyl xanthine, inhibited Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity, but this treatment had no effect on specific ouabain binding. No change in ouabain binding was found following activation of protein kinase C by phorbol ester or diacyl glycerol analogue treatment in cells. These data suggest that protein kinase A phosphorylation and inhibition of Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity does not lead to any internalization of the enzyme in COS-7 cells.

cDNA encoding a novel phosphodiesterase (PDE) was isolated from a human fetal lung cDNA library and designated PDE10A. The deduced amino acid sequence contains 779 amino acids, including a putative cGMP binding sequence in the amino-terminal portion of the molecule and a catalytic domain that is 16-47% identical in amino acid sequence to those of other PDE families. Recombinant PDE10A transfected and expressed in COS-7 cells hydrolyzed cAMP and cGMP with Km values of 0.26 and 7.2 microM, respectively, and Vmax with cGMP was almost twice that with cAMP. Of the PDE inhibitors tested, dipyridamole was most effective, with IC50 values of 1.2 and 0.45 microM for inhibition of cAMP and cGMP hydrolysis, respectively. cGMP inhibited hydrolysis of cAMP, and cAMP inhibited cGMP hydrolysis with IC50 values of 14 and 0.39 microM, respectively. Thus, PDE10A exhibited properties of a cAMP PDE and a cAMP-inhibited cGMP PDE. PDE10A transcripts were particularly abundant in the putamen and caudate nucleus regions of brain and in thyroid and testis, and in much lower amounts in other tissues. The PDE10A gene was located on chromosome 6q26 by fluorescent in situ hybridization analysis. PDE10A represents a new member of the PDE superfamily, exhibiting unique kinetic properties and inhibitor sensitivity.

We have isolated a novel alternative splice variant of human cAMP- and cGMP-hydrolyzing phosphodiesterase (PDE10A2) from human fetal lung. The N-terminal sequence of human PDE10A2 differed from that of human PDE10A1 reported previously. PDE10A1 and PDE10A2 expressed in COS-7 cells have cGMP K(m) values of 14 and 13 microM, low cAMP K(m) values of 0.28 and 0.22 microM, and high cAMP K(m) values of 0.96 and 1.1 microM, respectively, at high concentrations of cGMP and cAMP. PCR analysis demonstrated that both PDE10A1 and PDE10A2 transcripts are present in various human tissues and that PDE10A2 transcripts are a major form in some human tissues. The unique N-terminus of PDE10A2 has a putative phosphorylation site by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAK), but PDE10A1 does not. The recombinant PDE10A2 protein is preferentially phosphorylated by cAK, although the recombinant PDE10A1 protein is not phosphorylated by cAK.

PC-1 is a type II membrane-bound glycoprotein consisting of a short N-terminal cytoplasmic domain and a large C-terminal extracellular domain, which contains phosphodiesterase/pyrophosphatase activity. When Jurkat T cells were cultured with dibutyryl cAMP, the membrane-bound PC-1 and its soluble form were induced. They were purified as a homodimer of a 130 kDa peptide and a 120 kDa monomer, respectively, and the same two forms could also be obtained from COS-7 cells that had been transfected with PC-1 cDNA. The membrane-bound and soluble forms of PC-1 were indistinguishable from each other in terms of their enzyme kinetics and N-glycosylated moieties. Thus, the enzymatically active and fully glycosylated form of soluble PC-1 was utilized to search for its interacting molecules. The phosphodiesterase/pyrophosphatase activity of PC-1 was competitively inhibited by glycosaminoglycans, such as heparin and heparan sulfate, which are the major components of the extracellular matrix. PC-1 was capable of binding to heparin-Sepharose and the binding was inhibited in the presence of the enzyme substrate, ATP or its nonhydrolyzable analog. The enzyme activity of PC-1 itself, however, was not required for the binding to heparin-Sepharose. These results suggest that PC-1 might function as an adhesion molecule independent of its enzyme activity to associate with glycosaminoglycans in the extracellular matrix.

cDNAs encoding a novel phosphodiesterase, phosphodiesterase 11A (PDE11A), were isolated by a combination of reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction using degenerate oligonucleotide primers and rapid amplification of cDNA ends. Their catalytic domain was identical to that of PDE11A1 (490 amino acids) reported during the course of this study. However, the cDNAs we isolated had N termini distinct from PDE11A1, indicating two novel N-terminal variants of PDE11A. PDE11A3 cDNA encoded a 684-amino acid protein including one complete and one incomplete GAF domain in the N-terminal region. PDE11A4 was composed of 934 amino acids including two complete GAF domains and shared 630 C-terminal amino acids with PDE11A3 but had a distinct N terminus containing the putative phosphorylation sites for cAMP- and cGMP-dependent protein kinases. PDE11A3 transcripts were specifically expressed in testis, whereas PDE11A4 transcripts were particularly abundant in prostate. Recombinant PDE11A4 expressed in COS-7 cells hydrolyzed cAMP and cGMP with K(m) values of 3.0 and 1.4 microm, respectively, and the V(max) value with cAMP was almost twice that with cGMP. Although PDE11A3 showed the same K(m) values as PDE11A4, the relative V(max) values of PDE11A3 were approximately one-sixth of those of PDE11A4. PDE11A4, but not PDE11A3, was phosphorylated by both cAMP- and cGMP-dependent protein kinases in vitro. Thus, the PDE11A gene undergoes tissue-specific alternative splicing that generates structurally and functionally distinct gene products.

We have isolated and characterized rat cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE)11A, which exhibits properties of a dual-substrate PDE, and its splice variants (RNPDE11A2, RNPDE11A3, and RNPDE11A4). The deduced amino-acid sequence of the longest form of rat PDE11A splice variant, RNPDE11A4, was 94% identical with that of the human variant (HSPDE11A4). Rat PDE11A splice variants were expressed in a tissue-specific manner. RNPDE11A4 showed unique tissue distribution distinct from HSPDE11A4, which is specifically expressed in the prostate. Rat PDE11A splice variants were expressed in COS-7 cells, and their enzymatic characteristics were compared. Although the Km values for cAMP and cGMP were similar for all of them (1.3-1.6 and 2.1-3.9 microM, respectively), the Vmax values differed significantly (RNPDE11A4 >> RNPDE11A2 > RNPDE11A3). Human PDE11A variants also displayed very similar Km values and significantly different Vmax values (HSPDE11A4 >> HSPDE11A2 > HSPDE11A3 >> HSPDE11A1). The Vmax values of HSPDE11A4 for cAMP and cGMP were at least 100 times higher than those of HSPDE11A1. These observations indicate unique characteristics of PDE11A splicing variants.

Phosphodiesterase 4D5 is the sole PDE4D cAMP phosphodiesterase isoform expressed in human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMC). Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) challenge of HASMC rapidly activated PDE4D5 through a process ablated by the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase inhibitor PD98059. PMA elicited an inhibitory effect on PDE4D5 activity in HASMC treated with the cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor indomethacin, the COX-2 selective inhibitor NS-398, the phospholipase A(2) inhibitor quinacrine, and the cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor H89. PMA challenge of COS-1 cells elicited the rapid inhibition and phosphorylation of both recombinant and endogenous PDE4D5 in a manner ablated by PD98059 and not seen in S651A mutant PDE4D5. PMA promoted the generation of PGE(2) in the medium of HASMC and caused activation of both extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and PKA through a process ablated by indomethacin, NS-398, quinacrine, and PD98059. Exogenous prostaglandin (PG) E(2) increased cAMP levels and activated PKA in HASMC. COX-2 was expressed in HASMC but not in COS-1 cells. Forskolin challenge of COS-1 cells activated PDE4D5 by causing the PKA-mediated phosphorylation of Ser126 as detected using a novel phosphospecific antiserum. PMA challenge of HASMC elicited phosphorylation of the stimulatory PKA-specific phosphorylation site, Ser126 in PDE4D5 in a manner ablated by PD98059, indomethacin, and H89. We propose that, in HASMC, PMA activates PDE4D5 through an ERK-controlled autocrine mechanism. This involves PGE(2) generation, which causes activation of adenylyl cyclase, allowing PKA to elicit net activation of PDE4D5 by phosphorylation at Ser126.

We investigated adenosine (Ado) activation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in vitro and in vivo. A(2B) Ado receptors were identified in Calu-3, IB-3-1, COS-7, and primary human airway cells. Ado elevated cAMP in Calu-3, IB-3-1, and COS-7 cells and activated protein kinase A-dependent halide efflux in Calu-3 cells. Ado promoted arachidonic acid release from Calu-3 cells, and phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) inhibition blocked Ado-activated halide efflux in Calu-3 and COS-7 cells expressing CFTR. Forskolin- and beta(2)-adrenergic receptor-stimulated efflux were not affected by the same treatment. Cytoplasmic PLA(2) (cPLA(2)) was identified in Calu-3, IB-3-1, and COS-7 cells, but cPLA(2) inhibition did not affect Ado-stimulated cAMP concentrations. In cftr(+) and cftr(-/-) mice, Ado stimulated nasal Cl(-) secretion that was CFTR dependent and sensitive to A(2) receptor and PLA(2) blockade. In COS-7 cells transiently expressing DeltaF508 CFTR, Ado activated halide efflux. Ado also activated G551D CFTR-dependent halide efflux when combined with arachidonic acid and phosphodiesterase inhibition. In conclusion, PLA(2) and protein kinase A both contribute to A(2) receptor activation of CFTR, and components of this signaling pathway can augment wild-type and mutant CFTR activity.

The long cyclic AMP (cAMP)-specific phosphodiesterase isoform, PDE4A5 (PDE4A subfamily isoform variant 5), when transiently expressed in COS-7 cells, was shown in subcellular fractionation studies to be associated with both membrane and cytosol fractions, with immunofluorescence analyses identifying PDE4A5 as associated both with ruffles at the cell margin and also at a distinct perinuclear localisation. Deletion of the first nine amino acids of PDE4A5 (1) ablated its ability to interact with the SH3 domain of the tyrosyl kinase, LYN; (2) reduced, but did not ablate, membrane association; and (3) disrupted the focus of PDE4A5 localisation within ruffles at the cell margin. This deleted region contained a Class I SH3 binding motif of similar sequence to those identified by screening a phage display library with the LYN-SH3 domain. Truncation to remove the PDE4A5 isoform-specific N-terminal region caused a further reduction in membrane association and ablated localisation at the cell margin. Progressive truncation to delete the PDE4A long isoform common region and then the long isoform-specific UCR1 did not cause any further change in membrane association or intracellular distribution. However, deletion up to the super-short form splice junction generated an entirely soluble 'core' PDE4A species. We propose that multiple sites in the N-terminal noncatalytic portion of PDE4A5 have the potential to associate with intracellular structures and thus define its intracellular localisation. At least two such sites lie within the PDE4A5 isoform-specific N-terminal region and these appear to be primarily responsible for targeting PDE4A5 to, and organising it within, the cell margin; one is an SH3 binding motif able to interact with LYN kinase and the other lies within the C-terminal portion of the PDE4A5 unique region. A third membrane association region is located within the N-terminal portion of UCR2 and appears to be primarily responsible for targeting to the perinuclear region. Progressive N-terminal truncation, to delete defined regions of PDE4A5, identified activity changes occurring upon deletion of the SH3 binding site region and then upon deletion of the membrane association site region located within UCR2. This suggests that certain of these anchor sites may not only determine intracellular targeting but may also transduce regulatory effects on PDE4A5 activity.

Our group has recently demonstrated (Gesta, S., Simon, M., Rey, A., Sibrac, D., Girard, A., Lafontan, M., Valet, P., and Saulnier-Blache, J. S. (2002) J. Lipid Res. 43, 904-910) the presence, in adipocyte conditioned-medium, of a soluble lysophospholipase d-activity (LPLDact) involved in synthesis of the bioactive phospholipid lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). In the present report, LPLDact was purified from 3T3F442A adipocyte-conditioned medium and identified as the type II ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatase phosphodiesterase, autotaxin (ATX). A unique ATX cDNA was cloned from 3T3F442A adipocytes, and its recombinant expression in COS-7 cells led to extracellular release of LPLDact. ATX mRNA expression was highly up-regulated during adipocyte differentiation of 3T3F442A-preadipocytes. This up-regulation was paralleled by the ability of newly differentiated adipocytes to release LPLDact and LPA. Differentiation-dependent up-regulation of ATX expression was also observed in a primary culture of mouse preadipocytes. Treatment of 3T3F442A-preadipocytes with concentrated conditioned medium from ATX-expressing COS-7 cells led to an increase in cell number as compared with concentrated conditioned medium from ATX non-expressing COS-7 cells. The specific effect of ATX on preadipocyte proliferation was completely suppressed by co-treatment with a LPA-hydrolyzing phospholipase, phospholipase B. Finally, ATX expression was found in mature adipocytes isolated from mouse adipose tissue and was substantially increased in genetically obese-diabetic db/db mice when compared with their lean siblings. In conclusion, the present work shows that ATX is responsible for the LPLDact released by adipocytes and exerts a paracrine control on preadipocyte growth via an LPA-dependent mechanism. Up-regulations of ATX expression with adipocyte differentiation and genetic obesity suggest a possible involvement of this released protein in the development of adipose tissue and obesity-associated pathologies.
