Many inflammatory processes involve cAMP. Pharmacological manipulation of cAMP levels using specific phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors provokes an antiinflammatory response. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in the pattern and levels of expression of mRNAs coding for the cAMP-specific PDE4 family and subfamilies in mouse brain during the immediate acute immune response provoked by an intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). PDE4B, and furthermore the splice variants PDE4B2 and PDE4B3, were the only mRNAs that showed altered expression. Whereas PDE4B2 presented increased expression at both 3 and 8 hr postinjection, PDE4B3 mRNA showed decreased expression that reached a minimum 8 hr postinjection. PDE4B2 mRNA upregulation was observed mainly in endothelial and macrophage/neutrophil cell populations in the leptomeninges, and the downregulation of PDE4B3 was observed mainly in oligodendrocytes throughout the brain. Our results clearly illustrate the distinctive anatomical distribution and cellular localization of the PDE4Bs during neuroinflammation and emphasize the importance of PDE4B splice-variant-specific inhibitors as therapeutic tools.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008070 Lipopolysaccharides Lipid-containing polysaccharides which are endotoxins and important group-specific antigens. They are often derived from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts: LIPID A, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (O ANTIGENS). When derived from Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharides serve as polyclonal B-cell mitogens commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Lipopolysaccharide,Lipoglycans

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D054703 Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterases, Type 4 A cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase subfamily that is found predominantly in inflammatory cells and may play a role in the regulation of CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY. The enzyme family includes over twenty different variants that occur due to multiple ALTERNATIVE SPLICING of the mRNA of at least four different genes.

D037102 Lectins Proteins that share the common characteristic of binding to carbohydrates. Some ANTIBODIES and carbohydrate-metabolizing proteins (ENZYMES) also bind to carbohydrates, however they are not considered lectins. PLANT LECTINS are carbohydrate-binding proteins that have been primarily identified by their hemagglutinating activity (HEMAGGLUTININS). However, a variety of lectins occur in animal species where they serve diverse array of functions through specific carbohydrate recognition.
