To clarify the functional significance of type IV phosphodiesterase (PDEIV) in neurons and glia cells [3H]rolipram binding and phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity were examined in cytosol and membrane fractions of neuroblastoma N18TG-2 and glioma C6Bu-1 cells. [3H]Rolipram binding was highly observed in cytosolic fractions of N18TG-2 compared to C6Bu-1. Binding was hardly observed in membrane fractions of both types of cells. Rolipram strongly (70%) inhibited the hydrolytic activity of cAMP in cytosolic fractions of N18TG-2. The activity in cytosol fractions of C6Bu-1 was slightly (20%) inhibited by rolipram. These results suggest that PDEIV plays important roles in neurons.
