Inhibition of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase during exposure to WI-38 cells to prostaglandin E1. 1979

G M Nemecek, and K P Ray, and R W Butcher

Short term incubation of WI-38 cultures with 5.7 micron prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) caused cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity in fibroblast homogenates to fall by 25 to 35% as compared to controls. The PGE1-induced decline in phosphodiesterase activity coincided with a rapid increase in intracellular cyclic AMP levels in response to the hormone and was rapidly reversed by washing the cultures free of the prostaglandin before homogenizing the cells. The effect of PGE1 on WI-38 phosphodiesterase activity was localized to the enzyme form(s) present in 27,000 times g supernatant fractions of cell homogenates. These data suggest that the pattern of cyclic AMP accumulation in WI-38 fibroblasts exposed to PGE1 may be related, at least in part, to decreased phosphodiesterase activity during hormone stimulation.

Three of the six naturally occurring prostaglandins. They are considered primary in that no one is derived from another in living organisms. Originally isolated from sheep seminal fluid and vesicles, they are found in many organs and tissues and play a major role in mediating various physiological activities. PGE

D000242 Cyclic AMP An adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to both the 3'- and 5'-positions of the sugar moiety. It is a second messenger and a key intracellular regulator, functioning as a mediator of activity for a number of hormones, including epinephrine, glucagon, and ACTH.
