Abstract
Effects of cholera toxin and forskolin on pig epidermal adenylate cyclase system were investigated. Both agents increased cyclic AMP levels of epidermis. Marked accumulations were observed in the presence of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor, isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX). It has been known that hormone-stimulated adenylate cyclase responses are modified by various chemical treatments. Following long term incubation with hydrocortisone, Ro10-1670, and colchicine, the epidermal beta-adrenergic adenylate cyclase response was increased without the alteration of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity. Adenosine-, and histamine-adenylate cyclase responses were unchanged by hydrocortisone treatment, and were decreased by Ro10-1670 and colchicine treatments. Following the long term incubation with these chemicals, effects of cholera toxin and forskolin were investigated. Colchicine-treated skin revealed the increased cholera toxin-, and forskolin-induced cyclic AMP accumulations. Neither hydrocortisone- nor Ro10-1670-treated skin revealed alterations of cholera toxin-, and forskolin-effect. The stimulatory effect of colchicine on the cholera toxin-, and forskolin-effect was observed at doses of the beta-adrenergic augmentation effect. Our results indicate that among the chemicals which reveal the beta-adrenergic augmentation effect, colchicine is unique in that it also increases cholera toxin-, and forskolin-induced cyclic AMP accumulations of epidermis.

Abstract
UVB irradiation augmented the beta-adrenergic adenylate cyclase response of pig skin epidermis in vitro. The effect was observed 2-4 h following the irradiation and lasted at least for 48 h. There was no significant difference in cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity between control and UVB-irradiated epidermis at lower irradiation dose (150 mJ/cm2), which is the dose of the most marked beta-adrenergic augmentation effect. The augmentation effect was specific to the beta-adrenergic system; adenosine and histamine adenylate cyclase responses were unchanged or decreased depending on the irradiation dose. Histologically, marked sunburn-cell formation was observed following the UVB irradiation. It has been suggested that oxygen intermediates generated by ultraviolet radiation participate in sunburn-cell formation. The addition of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the incubation medium significantly inhibited sunburn-cell formation. On the other hand, the beta-adrenergic augmentation effect was not affected by the addition of SOD. Other scavengers of oxygen intermediates (catalase, catalase + SOD, xanthine, or mannitol) did not inhibit the UVB-induced beta-adrenergic augmentation effect. Further, superoxide-anion generating systems (hypoxanthine-xanthine oxidase system and acetaldehyde-xanthine oxidase system) revealed no stimulatory effect on the beta-adrenergic response of epidermis. These results indicate that (a) the UVB-induced beta-adrenergic augmentation effect is inherent to skin and does not depend on systemic factors such as inflammatory infiltrates following UVB irradiation; (b) in contrast to sunburn-cell formation, induction of the beta-adrenergic adenylate cyclase response is not directly associated with oxygen intermediates generated by UVB irradiation.

Abstract
It has been known that beta-adrenergic adenylate cyclase response is decreased in psoriatic-involved epidermis. Since the immunosuppressive agent, cyclosporin A, is reported to be effective on psoriasis clinically, the effect of cyclosporin A on beta-adrenergic adenylate cyclase response in pig skin was examined in vitro. Therapeutic serum levels of cyclosporin A (100-400 ng/ml) augmented the beta-adrenergic adenylate cyclase response of the epidermis. Highest levels of cyclosporin A (2-20 micrograms/ml) did not have any effect on its response. Both low Km and high Km cyclic AMP phosphodiesterases were not affected by cyclosporin A. Therefore, it is suggested that the clinical efficacy of cyclosporin A on psoriasis can be explained partially by its direct effect on the keratinocyte itself.

Abstract
Adenosine-adenylate cyclase response in pig skin epidermis showed a specific increase after long-term (24 h) incubation in the presence of 0.5%-1% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). There was no significant difference between control and DMSO-treated epidermis with regard to cyclic AMP (cAMP) phosphodiesterase activity. DMSO had no effect on the basal cAMP levels of epidermis; beta-adrenergic and histamine-adenylate cyclase responses were not affected. The direct addition of DMSO at the time of incubation with various adenylate cyclase stimulators (adenosine, epinephrine, and histamine) had no effect on agonist-induced cAMP accumulation effects. It was concluded that DMSO affected epidermal keratinocytes during long-term incubation, resulting in a specific increase in the adenosine-adenylate cyclase response. Although the biological significance of this DMSO effect remains to be determined, it should be kept in mind when using DMSO as a solvent for various chemicals in the experiments dealing with epidermal keratinocytes in vitro.

Abstract
We studied the effect of Ionophore A23187 (A23187) on phospholipid degradation and the accumulation of cyclic GMP in pig epidermis. A23187 stimulated the release of AA, probably partially through the activation of phospholipase A2. A23187 also stimulated the accumulation of epidermal cyclic GMP, but the activity of cyclic GMP-dependent phosphodiesterases was not altered. Mepacrine, an inhibitor of phospholipase A2, inhibited the A23187-stimulated accumulation of cyclic GMP. The results suggest that A23187 stimulates the accumulation of epidermal cyclic GMP by a calcium-dependent process which also requires products of phospholipid degradation.

Abstract
The effects of topical PUVA treatment on the epidermal cyclic AMP system were investigated. 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP), 0.3% in ethanol was applied to the backs of pigs which were then irradiated with UVA. A significant increase in the epidermal beta-adrenergic adenylate cyclase response was observed 24 h after low (1.1 J/cm2) and moderate (2.1 J/cm2) dose irradiation. There was no significant change in the adenosine- or histamine-mediated adenylate cyclase responses. 8-MOP application or UVA irradiation alone had no effect on the beta-adrenergic adenylate cyclase response. PUVA treatment with a higher irradiation dose (4.2 J/cm2) produced no increase in the beta-adrenergic response and adenosine- and histamine-mediated adenylate cyclase responses were decreased. Cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity was decreased by PUVA treatments using UVA doses of 1.1 and 2.1 J/cm2; however, the change was not statistically significant. The increased beta-adrenergic response was also observed in the presence of the cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor, isobutylmethylxanthine. These results indicate that epidermal adenylate cyclase responsiveness is affected by topical PUVA treatment in vivo.

Abstract
Although retinoids reveal various biologic and biochemical activities on epidermal keratinocytes, their effects on the epidermal cyclic AMP (cAMP) system has been less well characterized. In order to elucidate the relation between them, an in vitro pig skin-slice incubation system was employed. After a long-term (up to 24 h) incubation in vitro, control skin responded to epinephrine only slightly. The addition of Ro 10-1670, an active derivative of Ro 10-9359 (etretinate) in the incubation medium, resulted in an increase of the beta-adrenergic adenylate cyclase response of epidermis. On the other hand, histamine-induced cAMP accumulation was decreased by the retinoid treatment after long-term incubation. The augmentation of the beta-adrenergic response was observed at 1 microM concentration and the maximal effect was observed at 10 microM. There was no significant difference in cAMP phosphodiesterase activities between the control and retinoid-treated skin. The effect was also observed by the addition of all-trans-retinoic acid, retinol, and Ro 10-9359; the latter two compounds revealed much lesser effects. The addition of combinations of various drugs (Ro 10-1670 and hydrocortisone; Ro 10-1670 and colchicine) resulted in more marked (additive or synergistic) effects than the single addition of each chemical. On the other hand, the addition of Ro 10-1670 and all-trans-retinoic acid resulted in neither additive nor synergistic effect, suggesting that they probably work on the same site. Our data indicate that the epidermal beta-adrenergic adenylate cyclase response is modulated by retinoids probably as an independent mechanism stimulated by glucocorticoids or colchicine.

Abstract
Pig skin was irradiated in vivo with fluorescent sunlamp tubes (peak emission at 305 nm). A significant increase in epidermal beta-adrenergic adenylate cyclase response was observed as early as 12 h following 1-2 minimum erythema doses (MEDs) UVB exposure, which lasted at least 48 h. The augmentation of adenylate cyclase response was relatively specific to the beta-adrenergic system and there was no significant difference in either adenosine- or histamine-adenylate cyclase response of epidermis. The increased beta-adrenergic adenylate cyclase response was less marked at higher doses of UVB exposure (5 MEDs); in the latter condition, a significant reduction in adenosine- or histamine-adenylate cyclase response was observed. There was no significant difference in either low- or high-Km cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity between control and UVB-treated skin at 1-2 MEDs. Our data indicate that the epidermal adenylate cyclase responses are affected in vivo by UVB irradiation, which might be a significant regulatory mechanism of epidermal cyclic AMP systems.

Abstract
The effects of protein-synthesis inhibitors (actinomycin D, puromycin, and cycloheximide) on epidermal adenylate-cyclase responses were investigated. When pig skin (epidermis) was incubated in RPMI-1640 medium, the beta-adrenergic adenylate-cyclase response (epinephrine-induced cyclic-AMP accumulations) decreased, whereas the adenosine and histamine responses increased after long-term (up to 48 h) incubation. The addition of actinomycin D or puromycin to the incubation medium resulted in a marked increase in epinephrine-induced cyclic-AMP accumulations and a decrease in adenosine- and histamine-induced cyclic-AMP accumulations. Cycloheximide had a weak effect on the epinephrine response, and had apparently stronger effects on the adenosine and histamine responses than actinomycin D or puromycin. Histologically, various degenerative changes of keratinocytes (with or without acantholytic changes) were observed after long-term incubation with these protein-synthesis inhibitors. Both low- and high-Km cyclic-AMP phosphodiesterase activities were moderately decreased by the protein-synthesis inhibitors. However, augmentation effects on the beta-adrenergic response were also observed in the presence of the cyclic-AMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor, theophylline. We have described previously similar augmentation effects on the beta-adrenergic response caused by glucocorticoids and colchicine. Comparison of the effects of these chemicals with those of protein-synthesis inhibitors revealed that the most marked effects on the beta-adrenergic response were produced by actinomycin D, puromycin and colchicine; glucocorticoid had a moderate effect (hydrocortisone), while cycloheximide had only a weak effect.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Effects of colchicine on the epidermal adenylate cyclase systems were investigated. When pig skin (epidermis) was incubated in RPMI 1640 medium without the addition of serum, the beta-adrenergic adenylate cyclase response (epinephrine-induced cyclic AMP accumulations) gradually decreased, whereas adenosine and histamine responses remained high or increased during the long-term (up to 48 h) incubation period. The addition of colchicine (1 mumol/liter) in the incubation medium resulted in an increase in the beta-adrenergic responsiveness and a decrease in adenosine and histamine responsivenesses. The effects of colchicine were both time- and concentration-dependent; they could be observed after 9-12 h incubation, and the maximal effect was obtained at a concentration of 0.1 mumol/liter. Similar effects were observed by the addition of another microtubule-disruptive agent, vinblastine. On the other hand, cytochalasin B, which affects the microfilament system, apparently decreased the beta-adrenergic response and increased adenosine and histamine responses during the long-term incubation period. The addition of serum in the incubation medium resulted in essentially the same effect as that of colchicine; in the presence of serum, colchicine-treated skin responded much more markedly to epinephrine (and much less to adenosine and histamine) than the control skin after 24- and 48-h incubation. Previously we reported that hydrocortisone has similar potentiating effects on the beta-adrenergic system of epidermis. The comparison of the effects of both compounds revealed that colchicine had a stronger effect than hydrocortisone, and furthermore, the simultaneous addition of both compounds (colchicine and hydrocortisone) in the incubation medium resulted in the more marked increase of beta-adrenergic response than the single addition of each chemical. Our overall results, coupled with the finding that hydrocortisone has no toxic effects on the adenosine- or histamine-adenylate cyclase system of epidermis, suggest that colchicine affects epidermal adenylate cyclase systems probably through a mechanism that is independent of glucocorticoid (hydrocortisone) effect.

Abstract
Although receptor-specific refractoriness has been suggested to be one of the regulatory mechanisms of epidermal adenylate cyclase systems, its physiologic significance has been a subject of controversy because of the requirement of unusually high concentrations of agonists to induce refractoriness. In order to determine whether the epidermal adenylate cyclase system is regulated through a refractoriness mechanism by suboptimal concentrations of receptor agonists, this study was undertaken using pig skin epidermal adenylate cyclase systems. Pretreatment of pig skin with 0.1-1 microM epinephrine in vitro resulted in the reduction of the maximal epinephrine response (epinephrine-induced cyclic AMP accumulations) to various degrees without alterations in either low or high Km cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activities. Repeated pretreatments were shown to be more effective in inducing refractoriness than a single pretreatment. Apparently there was no change in the Km value for epinephrine, suggesting that the decrease in epinephrine response represents a reduction in the number but not in the affinity of functional beta-adrenergic adenylate cyclase receptor sites. This refractoriness by low concentrations of catecholamine pretreatment was specific to the beta-adrenergic system, since there was no reduction in histamine response after the epinephrine pretreatment. These results indicate that the epidermal beta-adrenergic adenylate cyclase system is regulated by much lower concentrations of catecholamine than were previously described. It was suggested that physiologic fluctuations of plasma catecholamine levels might have a profound effect on epidermal beta-adrenergic adenylate cyclase responsiveness, resulting in the alteration of the minimal catecholamine level required for the successive activation of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, which is the predominant target of cyclic AMP in epidermis.

Abstract
The novel adenylate cyclase activator forskolin caused rapid and high intracellular accumulation of cyclic AMP in a floating skin (epidermal) slice system. Increased cAMP levels were also detected in the media. Addition of a phosphodiesterase inhibitor to forskolin-containing medium caused only a slight increase in the intracellular cAMP level and forskolin itself did not inhibit phosphodiesterase activity. Ka of forskolin for epidermal adenylate cyclase was about 2-3 X 10(-5) M. This forskolin activation was rapidly reversed after washing. The forskolin stimulation (Ka 5 X 10(-5) M) was also found when tested with an epidermal membrane preparation which contained the catalytic unit of adenylate cyclase but lacked either the GTP or receptor stimulation. With the epidermal slice system, the combination of forskolin and epinephrine (or histamine) stimulated adenylate cyclase synergistically. The data suggest that forskolin activates not only the catalytic unit but also the nucleotide regulatory protein or the receptor-regulatory protein complex of the adenylate cyclase system. The cAMP accumulation caused by forskolin produced a dose-dependent mitotic inhibition of epidermal cells in an in vitro outgrowth system. This inhibitory effect was reversible 48 h after washing out the forskolin.

Abstract
Trypsin increased cyclic AMP levels of the pig skin. This effect was markedly potentiated by the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase inhibitor theophylline. Without theophylline this trypsin-induced cyclic AMP accumulation was transient and the maximal accumulation was noted by 5 min. Soybean trypsin inhibitor inhibited this trypsin-induced cyclic AMP accumulation. After the trypsin treatment, marked acantholysis was noted histologically and the decreased responsiveness to other adenylate cyclase stimulators was seen. The decrease of the epinephrine response was most marked and that of histamine response was much less. Both low and high Km cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activities were decreased by the trypsin treatment. However, at 5 min incubation time, when the increase in cyclic AMp level was most marked, the decrease in the phosphodiesterase activities was minimal. Trypsin seems to reveal its action through the proteolytic activation of adenylate cyclase system of the skin.

Abstract
An in vitro floating system was used to investigate the effect of lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) on the activity of adenyl cyclase in normal pig epidermis. Li2CO3 decreased the responsiveness of adenyl cyclase to stimulation by histamine, adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and epinephrine. This abnormality is similar but not identical to the previously described impaired responsiveness of adenyl cyclase to epinephrine and PGE2 in psoriatic plaques compared to normal adjacent skin. Involved and uninvolved skin from a psoriatic on lithium therapy demonstrated decreased responsiveness to in vitro stimulation by epinephrine, histamine and adenosine when compared to skin from psoriatics who were not on lithium therapy. These results are consistent with the observation that lithium therapy worsens psoriatic lesions.

Abstract
Both cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase and cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase were recovered mainly from the supernatant fractions of guinea-pig pancreas, but a higher proportion of the activity of the former was associated with the pellet fractions. The activities in the supernatant were not separated by gel filtration, but were clearly separated by subsequent chromatography on an anion-exchange resin. The activities of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase and cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase had high-affinity (K(m) 6.5+/-1.1mum and 31.9+/-3.9mum respectively) and low-affinity (K(m) 0.56+/-0.05mm and 0.32+/-0.03mm respectively) components. The activity of neither enzyme was affected by the pancreatic secretogens, cholecystokinin-pancreozymin, secretin and carbachol. Removal of ions by gel filtration resulted in a marked reduction in cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity, which could be restored by addition of Mg(2+). Mn(2+) (3mm) was as effective as Mg(2+) (3mm) in the case of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase, but was less than half as effective in the case of cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase. The metal-ion chelators, EDTA and EGTA, also decreased activity. Ca(2+) (1mm) did not affect the activity of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase when the concentration of Mg(2+) was 3mm. At concentrations of Mg(2+) between 0.1 and 1mm, 1mm-Ca(2+) was activatory, and at concentrations of Mg(2+) below 0.1mm, 1mm-Ca(2+) was inhibitory. These results are discussed in terms of the possible significance of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase in the physiological control of cyclic nucleotide concentrations during stimulus-secretion coupling.

Abstract
CuCl2 non-competitively inhibited the hydrolysis of cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP by the activator-dependent phosphodiesterase from bovine heart in the presence of 5 mM Mg2+, 10 muM Ca2+ and phosphodiesterase activator with Ki values of approximately 2 muM for both substrates. CuCl2 inhibition was also non-competitive with Mg2+, Ca2+ and phosphodiesterase activator. Dialysis demonstrated that CuCl2 inhibition is reversible. Treatment of the enzyme with p-hydroxymercuribenzoate resulted in the loss of enzyme activity, suggesting the presence of sulfhydryl groups essential for enzyme activity. The inhibitory activity of CuCl2 was not additive with that of p-hydroxymercuribenzoate, therefore CuCl2 may inhibit enzyme activity by binding to one or more essential sulfhydryl groups. CuCl2 also inhibited the hydrolysis of cyclic AMP by the cyclic AMP-specific phosphodiesterase from bovine heart with an I50 value of 18 muM. Several effects of Cu2+ are discussed which have been noted in other studies and might be due, in part, to changes in cyclic nucleotide levels following alterations in phosphodiesterase activity.

Abstract
The comparative inhibitory potency of papaverine and Ro 20-1724 (4-(3-butoxy-4-methoxybenzyl)-2-imidazolidinone) on cyclic AMP-phosphodiesterase (cAMP-PDE) and cyclic GMP-phosphodiesterase (cGMP-PDE) activities and their effect on the levels of cAMP and cGMP were examined in psoriatic epidermis. At concentrations of 5 X 10(-4) M, papaverine inhibited the hydrolysis of both cAMP and cGMP by either the low or high Km psoriatic epidermal PDE nearly 100% (p less than .0001) while Ro 20-1724 selectively inhibited the hydrolysis of cAMP 94% (p less than .0001) but had no significant effect on cGMP hydrolysis. When keratomed psoriatic epidermal slices were incubated in 5 X 10(-4) M papaverine or Ro 20-1724 the tissue levels of cAMP were increased 343% or 1395% respectively (p less than .001) with no concomitant change in the levels of cGMP. Selective inhibition of cAMP hydrolysis by Ro 20-1724 and its greater effectiveness in elevating cAMP levels in slices of psoriatic epidermis is one explanation for its clinical superiority in treating psoriatic lesions.

Abstract
In the present study we have compared cyclic nucleotide-phosphodiesterase activities and affinity of phosphodiesterase for substrates (Km) in enzyme preparations obtained from the involved and uninvolved skin of psoriatic patients. With crude skin homogenates we consistently obtained two Km values (high and low) for both the involved and uninvolved, and both Km values were nearly identical between the involved and uninvolved. The same conclusion is also drawn from the Km determinations with partially purified preparations. Cyclic AMP-phosphodiesterase activities with crude homogenates showed no statistically significant differences between the involved and the uninvolved skin. However, when cyclic AMP- and cyclic GMP-phosphodiesterase activities were compared with a highly sensitive assay method in "pure" epidermal samples, which were microdissected free from stratum corneum, dermis and skin appendages, the involved skin contained 40% more activity of the low Km enzyme and 100% more of the high Km enzyme of both cyclic AMP- and cyclic GMP-phosphodiesterase. It is suggested that this may be due to a higher proportion of germinative cells in the lesional epidermis.

Abstract
Tissue extracts from human heart, lung, liver, kidney, skeletal muscle and cerebrum displayed at least 3 distinct cyclic 3':5'-nucleotide phosphodieterase (EC 3.1.4.17) activity peaks (FI, FII, FIII) on DEAE-cellulose chromatography and various properties of these forms were compared in each tissue. FI eluted at about 0.08 M sodium acetate, hydrolyzed cyclic GMP more rapidly than it did cyclic AMP, and cyclic GMP hydrolysis by FI in most tissues was enhanced by a protein activator in the presence of CaCl2. As only high concentrations of cyclic AMP inhibited cyclic GMP hydrolytic activity of FI, the enzyme probably has a low affinity for cyclic AMP. FII eluted at about 0.2 M sodium acetate, hydrolyzed both nucleotides at equal rates, and substrate affinities were relatively low. Cyclic GMP hydrolysis by FII was also stimulated by addition of a protein activator in the presence of CaCl2 and cyclic AMP hydrolysis in this fraction was accelerated by a micromolar fraction of cyclic GMP. FII eluted at about 0.35 M hydrolyzed cyclic AMP preferentially and was insensitive to protein activator. These two cyclic nucleotides act as mutual inhibitors of the hydrolysis in this fraction. Ratio of the cyclic GMP to cyclic AMP hydrolysis was in the order FI, FII, FIII. Four activity peaks were eluted from the cerebral extract and enzymes from this tissue exhibited much the same properties as observed in the other tissues examined herein.

Abstract
The cyclic AMP level in pig skin (epidermis) increases markedly after incubation with epinephrine, prostaglandin E, histamine or adenosine 5'-monophosphate. This increase is transient and "spiking" is the consistent response to these four stimulators. The "spiking" is due to a non-responsiveness or refractoriness which develops within minutes and is specific to any one stimulating hormone but not to the others. The addition of inhibitors of protein syntheses did not prevent the development of the refractoriness. Adenylate cyclase and phosphodiesterase activities measured in skin homogenates prepared from skin samples taken before, during and after the "spiking" did not change significantly. The hormone-induced refractoriness in this skin system appears to be due to a specific, localized loss of function of the adenylate cyclase system.

Abstract
Two soluble forms of 3':5'-cyclic-nucleotide phosphodiesterase (o':5'-cyclic-nucleotide 5'-nucleotidohydrolase, EC 3.1.4.17) were found in the larval fat body of the silkmoth Hyalophora cecropia. These differ in elution profile on Sephadex G-200, solubility in ammonium sulfate, metal ion requirements and kinetic properties. Phosphodiesterase I has Km values of 11 muM and 1.8 muM for cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP, respectively, has 5-fold greater maximal activity with cyclic AMP than with cyclic GMP, and is activated by Mg2+ and Co2+, and inhibited by EDTA. phosphodiesterase II has Km values of 625 muM and 125 muM for cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP, respectively, has similar maximal activity with both substrates, and is not activated by divalent metal ions or inhibited by EDTA. Cyclic nucleotides and methylxanthines competitively inhibit both enzymes. Phosphodiesterase is found in both soluble and particulate fractions of homogenates. Total activity is highest during the larval stage of the insect, drops markedly following pupation, and rises again during pharate adult development.

Abstract
Phosphodiesterase activities for adenosine and guanosine 3':5'-monophosphates (cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP) were demonstrated in particulate and soluble fractions of rat anterior pituitary gland. Both fractions contained higher activity for cyclic GMP hydrolysis than that for cyclic AMP hydrolysis when these activities were assayed at subsaturating substrate concentrations. Addition of protein activator and CaCl2 to either whole homogenate, particulate or supernatant fraction stimulated both cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP phosphadiesterase activities. Almost 80% of cyclic AMP and 90% of cyclic GMP hydrolyzing activities were localized in soluble fraction. Particulate-bound cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity was completely solubilized with 1% Triton X-100. Detergent-dispersed particulate and soluble enzymes were compared with respect to Ca2+ and activator requirements and gel filtration profiles. Particulate, soluble and partially purified phosphodiesterase activities were also characterized in relation to divalent cation requirements, kinetic behavior and effects of Ca2+, activator and ethyleneglycol-bis-(2-aminoethyl)-N,N'-tetraacetic acid. Gel filtration of either sonicated whole homogenate or the 10500 X g supernatant fraction showed a single peak of activity, which hydrolyzed both cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP and was dependent upon Ca2+ and activator for maximum activity. Partially purified enzyme was inhibited by 1-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine and papaverine with the concentration of inhibitor giving 50% inhibition at 0.4 muM substrate being 20 muM and 24 muM for cyclic AMP and 7 muM and 10 muM for cyclic GMP, respectively. Theophylline, caffeine and theobromine were less effective. The rat anterior pituitary also contained a protein activator which stimulated both pituitary cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase(s) as well as activator-deficient brain cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP phosphodiesterases. Chromatography of the sonicated pituitary extract on DEAE-cellulose column chromatography resolved the phosphodiesterase into two fractions. Both enzyme fractions hydrolyzed cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP and had comparable apparent Km values for the two nucleotides. Hydrolysis of cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP by fraction II enzyme was stimulated 6--7-fold by both pituitary and brain activator in the presence of micromolar concentrations of Ca2+.

Abstract
Adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.17) has been investigated in rat liver as to its insulin sensitivity. Hormone action has been assayed in vitro on a liver homogenate purified by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography, on isolated hepatocytes, on isolated plasma membranes. The DEAE-cellulose chromatography purified homogenate showed no sensitivity to insulin, whereas isolated hepatocytes incubated in presence of insulin showed increased phosphodiesterase activity in a plasma membrane-containing fraction. The plasma membrane-bound enzyme, which shows both high and low affinity components, was significantly stimulated after hormonal treatment; this effect being dependent on a V increase of the low Km form.
