Abstract
For at least 50 years, the prevailing view has been that the adenylate cyclase (AC)/cyclic AMP (cAMP)/protein kinase A pathway is the predominant signal mediating the hepatic glucose‐mobilizing actions of glucagon. A wealth of evidence, however, supports the alternative, that the operative signal most of the time is the phospholipase C (PLC)/inositol‐phosphate (IP3)/calcium/calmodulin pathway. The evidence can be summarized as follows: (1) The consensus threshold glucagon concentration for activating AC ex vivo is 100 pM, but the statistical hepatic portal plasma glucagon concentration range, measured by RIA, is between 28 and 60 pM; (2) Within that physiological concentration range, glucagon stimulates the PLC/IP3 pathway and robustly increases glucose output without affecting the AC/cAMP pathway; (3) Activation of a latent, amplified AC/cAMP pathway at concentrations below 60 pM is very unlikely; and (4) Activation of the PLC/IP3 pathway at physiological concentrations produces intracellular effects that are similar to those produced by activation of the AC/cAMP pathway at concentrations above 100 pM, including elevated intracellular calcium and altered activities and expressions of key enzymes involved in glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, and glycogen synthesis. Under metabolically stressful conditions, as in the early neonate or exercising adult, plasma glucagon concentrations often exceed 100 pM, recruiting the AC/cAMP pathway and enhancing the activation of PLC/IP3 pathway to boost glucose output, adaptively meeting the elevated systemic glucose demand. Whether the AC/cAMP pathway is consistently activated in starvation or diabetes is not clear. Because the importance of glucagon in the pathogenesis of diabetes is becoming increasingly evident, it is even more urgent now to resolve lingering uncertainties and definitively establish glucagon’s true mechanism of glycemia regulation in health and disease.

Abstract
The superfamily of cyclic nucleotide (cN) phosphodiesterases (PDEs) is comprised of 11 families of enzymes. PDEs break down cAMP and/or cGMP and are major determinants of cellular cN levels and, consequently, the actions of cN-signaling pathways. PDEs exhibit a range of catalytic efficiencies for breakdown of cAMP and/or cGMP and are regulated by myriad processes including phosphorylation, cN binding to allosteric GAF domains, changes in expression levels, interaction with regulatory or anchoring proteins, and reversible translocation among subcellular compartments. Selective PDE inhibitors are currently in clinical use for treatment of erectile dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension, intermittent claudication, and chronic pulmonary obstructive disease; many new inhibitors are being developed for treatment of these and other maladies. Recently reported x-ray crystallographic structures have defined features that provide for specificity for cAMP or cGMP in PDE catalytic sites or their GAF domains, as well as mechanisms involved in catalysis, oligomerization, autoinhibition, and interactions with inhibitors. In addition, major advances have been made in understanding the physiological impact and the biochemical basis for selective localization and/or recruitment of specific PDE isoenzymes to particular subcellular compartments. The many recent advances in understanding PDE structures, functions, and physiological actions are discussed in this review.

Abstract
Insulin and leptin play complementary roles in regulating the consumption, uptake, oxidation and storage of nutrients. Chronic consumption of diets that contain a high proportion of calories from saturated fat induces a progressive deterioration in function of both hormones. Certain rat lines and strains of mice are particularly sensitive to the obesogenic and diabetogenic effects of high fat diets, and have been used extensively to study the developmental progression of insulin and leptin resistance in relation to the increasing adiposity that is characteristic of their response to these diets. Some aspects of the diminished efficacy of each hormone are secondary to increased adiposity but a consensus is emerging to support the view that direct effects of dietary components or their metabolites, independent of the resulting obesity, play important roles in development of insulin and leptin resistance. In this minireview, we will examine the implications of crosstalk between leptin and insulin signaling during the development of diet-induced obesity, emphasizing potential interactions between pathways that occur among target sites, and exploring how these interactions may influence the progression of obesity and diabetes.

Abstract
Congenital hyperinsulinism is a disorder of pancreatic beta-cell function characterized by failure to suppress insulin secretion in the setting of hypoglycemia, resulting in brain damage or death if untreated. Loss-of-function mutations in the K(ATP) channel (composed of two subunits: Kir6.2 and SUR-1) are responsible for the most common and severe form of congenital hyperinsulinism. Most patients are unresponsive to available medical therapy and require palliative pancreatectomy. Similar to the human condition, the SUR-1(-/-) mouse is hypoglycemic when fasted and hyperglycemic when glucose-loaded. We have previously reported that the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor antagonist exendin-(9-39) raises fasting blood glucose in normal mice. Here we examine the effect of exendin-(9-39) on fasting blood glucose in SUR-1(-/-) mice. Mice were randomized to receive exendin-(9-39) or vehicle. Fasting blood glucose levels in SUR-1(-/-) mice treated with exendin-(9-39) were significantly higher than in vehicle-treated mice and not different from wild-type littermates. Exendin-(9-39) did not further worsen glucose tolerance and had no effect on body weight and insulin sensitivity. Isolated islet perifusion studies demonstrated that exendin-(9-39) blocked amino acid-stimulated insulin secretion, which is abnormally increased in SUR-1(-/-) islets. Furthermore, cAMP content in SUR-1(-/-) islets was reduced by exendin-(9-39) both basally and when stimulated by amino acids, whereas cytosolic calcium levels were not affected. These findings suggest that cAMP plays a key role in K(ATP)-independent insulin secretion and that the GLP-1 receptor is constitutively active in SUR-1(-/-) beta-cells. Our findings indicate that exendin-(9-39) normalizes fasting hypoglycemia in SUR-1(-/-) mice via a direct effect on insulin secretion, thereby raising exendin-(9-39) as a potential therapeutic agent for K(ATP) hyperinsulinism.

Abstract
Orthovanadate (vanadate) as well as insulin stimulated phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3) in the particulate fraction of rat hepatocytes. The vanadate-induced activations of PDE3 and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) were inhibited by H-89 and PD98059, suggesting that the MAPK activation via cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and MAPK kinase is involved in the vanadate action. On the other hand, the insulin-induced activations of PDE3 and Akt were inhibited by wortmannin, suggesting involvement of the Akt activation via phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) in the insulin action. The vanadate-induced activations of PKA and PDE3 were inhibited in part by propranolol or genistein, suggesting that vanadate may exert its actions via dual signaling pathways of beta-adrenergic receptors and receptor tyrosine kinases of growth factors. Vanadate, in contrast to insulin, did not promote the phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1. The vanadate-induced increase in the phosphorylation of a main isoform of MAPKs, p44 protein, was detected by immunoblotting migration patterns of SDS-PAGE. A partially purified PDE3 activity was increased by addition of MAPK or Akt to the reaction mixture, suggesting that MAPK as well as Akt acts upstream of PDE3. The activation of PDE3 by insulin was independent of a transient increase in the MAPK activity, probably due to the dephosphorylated inactivation mediated by the induced activation of MAPK phosphatases (MKPs). Vanadate did not affect the MKP activity. These results indicate that vanadate stimulates the particulate PDE3 activity by activating mainly p44 MAPK via a PKA-dependent process, and that it differs from insulin with regard to a phosphorylation cascade of PDE3 activation.

Abstract
The cAMP-dependent pathway, which regulates yeast-to-hypha morphogenesis in Candida albicans, is controlled by changes in cAMP levels determined by the processes of synthesis and hydrolysis. Both low- and high-affinity cAMP phosphodiesterases are encoded in the C. albicans genome. CaPDE2, encoding the high-affinity cAMP phosphodiesterase, has been cloned and shown to be toxic in Saccharomyces cerevisiae upon overexpression under pGAL1, but functional under the moderate pMET3. Deletion of CaPDE2 causes elevated cAMP levels and responsiveness to exogenous cAMP, higher sensitivity to heat shock, severe growth defects at 42 degrees C and highly reduced levels of EFG1 transcription. In vitro in hypha-inducing liquid medium CaPDE2, deletion prohibits normal hyphal, but not pseudohyphal growth. On solid medium capde2 mutants form aberrant hyphae, with fewer branches and almost no lateral buds, which are deficient in hypha-to-yeast reversion. The phenotypic defects of capde2 mutants show that the cAMP-dependent pathway plays specific roles in hyphal and pseudohyphal development, its regulatory role however, being greater in liquid than on solid medium in vitro. The increased expression of CaPDE2 after serum addition correlates well with a drop in cAMP levels following the initial rise in response to the hyphal inducer. These results suggest that Capde2p mediates a desensitization mechanism by lowering basal cAMP levels in response to environmental stimuli in C. albicans.

Abstract
Liver metabolism is influenced by hormones and nutrients. Amino acids such as glutamine or leucine induce an anabolic response, which resembles that of insulin in muscle and adipose tissue. In this work, the signalling pathways and the effects of insulin were compared to those of glutamine and leucine in isolated hepatocytes from normal and streptozotocin-diabetic rats. Glutamine increased cell volume and induced an anabolic response characterized by an activation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), glycogen synthase (GS) and p70 ribosomal S6 kinase (p70S6K), the key enzymes in fatty acid, glycogen and protein synthesis, respectively. The effects of glutamine were independent of insulin and did not share its signalling components. Leucine, which is poorly metabolized by the liver and does not modify cell volume, activated ACC and p70S6K, and exerted a synergistic effect on the glutamine-induced activation of ACC and p70S6K. These amino acids did not affect insulin signalling. Insulin alone had no anabolic effect in hepatocytes, despite the activation of protein kinase B. Nevertheless, it enhanced the activation of ACC and p70S6K induced by leucine. However, insulin injected intravenously activated rat liver p70S6K. In hepatocytes from streptozotocin-diabetic animals, the metabolic responses to the amino acids and insulin were similar to those in normal hepatocytes. We conclude that glutamine, insulin and leucine exert different effects that are mediated by different signalling pathways, although their effects are combinatory. The anabolic effect of insulin in hepatocytes was strictly dependent on the permissive action of leucine.

Abstract
The use of broad-spectrum inhibitors first suggested that phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are involved in the maturation of bovine oocytes. Modulation of individual PDE families is now possible with the use of newly developed type-specific PDE inhibitors. This study evaluated the role of type 3- and type 4-specific PDE inhibitors on the meiotic arrest of bovine cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) and denuded oocytes (DOs). It also evaluated the role of these specific inhibitors on meiotic arrest when COCs are incubated in the presence or absence of theca cell monolayers. Bovine COCs were aspirated from ovaries collected at the abattoir. Denuded oocytes and COCs were incubated for 12 h in culture medium alone or culture medium containing the type 3 PDE inhibitors cilostamide (10 and 20 microM) or milrinone (10 and 50 microM) or the type 4 PDE inhibitor rolipram (10 and 50 microM). Oocytes were then fixed and classified according to the status of nuclear maturation. Cumulus-oocyte complexes were coincubated with untreated theca cell monolayers or theca cell monolayers treated with the different specific PDE inhibitors. Bovine COCs or DOs incubated in culture medium resumed meiosis, but supplementation of the culture medium with the PDE3 inhibitors cilostamide or milrinone resulted in meiotic arrest. On the other hand, supplementation of the culture medium with rolipram did not prevent oocyte maturation. Furthermore, PDE3 inhibitors, but not PDE 4 inhibitors, had an additive effect on the inhibitory action of theca cell monolayers on oocyte maturation. These data support the hypothesis that inhibition of PDE3 prevents the meiotic resumption of bovine oocytes, whereas inhibition of PDE4 does not block oocyte maturation even under normally inhibitory conditions. The additive effect of PDE3 inhibitors on the ability of theca cells to maintain bovine oocytes in meiotic arrest suggests that type 3 PDE has an important role in meiotic resumption of bovine oocytes.

Abstract
The biochemical properties of an in vivo hormonally regulated low Km cAMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity associated with a liver Golgi-endosomal (GE) fraction have been characterized. DEAE-Sephacel chromatography of a GE fraction solubilized by a lysosomal extract resulted in the sequential elution of three peaks of activity (numbered I, II, and III), while ion-exchange HPLC resolved five peaks of activity (numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5). Based on the sensitivity of the eluted activity to cGMP and selected phosphodiesterase inhibitors, two phosphodiesterase isoforms were resolved: a cGMP-stimulated and EHNA-inhibited PDE2, eluted in DEAE-Sephacel peak I and HPLC peak 2 and a cGMP-, a cilostamide-, and ICI 118233-inhibited PDE3, eluted in DEAE-Sephacel peak III and HPLC peaks 3, 4, and 5. GE fractions isolated after acute treatments with insulin, tetraiodoglucagon, and growth hormone displayed an increase in phosphodiesterase activity relative to saline-injected controls, as did GE fractions from genetically obese and hyperinsulinemic rats relative to lean littermates. In all experimental rats, an increase in PDE3 activity associated with DEAE-Sephacel peak III and HPLC peaks 4 and 5 was observed relative to control animals. Furthermore, in genetically obese Zucker rats, an increase in the sensitivity of PDE activity to cilostamide and in the amount of PDE activity immunoprecipitated by an antibody to adipose tissue PDE3 was observed relative to lean littermates. These results extend earlier studies on isolated hepatocytes and show that liver PDE3 is the main if not sole PDE isoform activated by insulin, glucagon, and growth hormone in vivo.

Abstract
Since many isoforms of adenylyl cyclase and adenosine 3', 5'-monophosphate (cAMP) phosphodiesterase have been cloned, it is likely that receptors of each hormone have a specific combination of these isoforms. Types I, III and VIII adenylyl cyclases are reported to be stimulated by Ca(2+)-calmodulin, type I phosphodiesterase by Ca(2+)-calmodulin, but types IV and VII (cAMP-specific) phosphodiesterases by Co2+. In the present study, we examined different effects of Ca2+ and Co2+ on hormone-induced cAMP response in the isolated perfused rat liver.The removal of Ca2+ from the perfusion medium (0 mM CaCl(2 ) + 0.5 mM EGTA) did not affect glucagon (0.1 nM)-responsive cAMP but reduced secretin (1 nM)-, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP, 1-10 nM)- and forskolin (1 microM)-responsive cAMP considerably. The addition of 1 mM CoCl2 reduced glucagon- and secretin-responsive cAMP considerably, forskolin-responsive cAMP partly, did not affect 1 nM VIP-responsive cAMP, but enhanced 10 nM VIP-responsive cAMP. Forskolin- and VIP-responsive cAMP was greater in the combination (0 mM CaCl(2) + 0.5 mM EGTA + 3 mM CoCl2) than in the Ca(2+)-free perfusion alone. These results suggest that secretin, VIP1 and VIP2 receptors are linked to Ca(2+)-calmodulin-sensitive adenylyl cyclase; glucagon receptor to Ca(2+)-calmodulin-insensitive adenylyl cyclase; VIP1 receptor to Ca(2+)-calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterase; glucagon, secretin and VIP2 receptors to cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase, respectively, in the rat liver.

Abstract
67% of total cAMP phosphodiesterase activity (PDE) in cultured rat hepatocytes could be detected in the cytosol, 15% in plasma membrane, 15% in 'dense vesicle,' and 3% in endoplasmatic reticulum fractions. Up to 84% of the PDE activity of the cytosol is represented by the rolipram-sensitive PDE 4. ICI 118233-inhibited PDE 3 was found predominantly in membranes. We were able to show that dexamethasone acts on the PDE 4 in cytosolic and plasma membrane fractions whereas glucagon effected the PDE 4 of the cytosol and the PDE 3 in 'dense vesicle' membranes. Primary culture of hepatocytes was used to study long-term effects of dexamethasone and glucagon on PDE 4 activity. Addition of dexamethasone (0.1 microM) at the beginning of cultivation leads to a decrease of total PDE 4 activity whereas after 24 h precultivation no dexamethasone effect could be observed. Glucagon effects on PDE 4 were investigated in 20 h precultured hepatocytes. Maximal stimulation was achieved after 2 h of exposure. PDE 4 subtypes A, B , D and, to a lesser degree, subtype C could be detected by RT-PCR analysis. The results of semiquantitative RT-PCR show that the presence of dexamethasone during the first 24 h of cultivation reduced selectively the transcription of PDE 4D, whereas glucagon was without any effect. Also the translation of PDE 4D was reduced as shown in the Western blot. We would like to discuss the way that dexamethasone influences PDE 4D expression-most likely in combination with other factors such as cytokines--during the time of cell plating, whereas glucagon actions are part of metabolic regulations via phosphorylation reactions.

Abstract
Primary cultures of rat hepatocytes were used to study the combined effects of insulin and dexamethasone on cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE 3) and glycogen metabolism. PDE activity was measured in extracts obtained by hypotonic shock treatment of the particulate fraction from cultured hepatocytes. PDE 3 was identified by inhibition with ICI 118233, Western blotting, immunoprecipitation of the activity with the use of a new PDE 3B-specific anti-peptide antibody and stimulation of the activity after adding insulin, glucagon and okadaic acid to the culture medium. Specific PDE inhibitors were always used to identify the measured PDE activities. Hypotonic extracts contained 30% PDE 3 and 50% PDE 4. Both PDE types show a nearly constant level during cultivation up to 48 h. Long-term exposure of dexamethasone alone has no effect on PDE 3 activity, whereas, in combination with insulin, the insulin stimulation of PDE 3 activity was found to be increased between 48 and 72 h of cultivation. Additionally, db-cAMP was able to stimulate PDE 3. A possible effect of insulin or db-cAMP on PDE 3B expression could not be found. On the other hand, activation of PDE 3B after 48 h of culturing decreased rapidly after removal of insulin or db-cAMP from the culture medium. Insulin-stimulated incorporation of 14C-glucose into glycogen was inhibited by PDE 3- and PDE 4-specific inhibitors as well as by the unspecific PDE inhibitor IMBX. Inhibitions by PDE 3- and PDE 4-specific inhibitors were found to be additive and reached the same extent as with IMBX. Summarising our results, we can conclude that PDE 3 and PDE 4 effectively control the hepatic glycogen metabolism. Insulin effects on PDE activity and glycogen metabolism require the presence of dexamethasone. Insulin-stimulated PDE seems to play an important role in realising insulin effects on hepatic glycogen metabolism.

Abstract
A cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase (PDE4D3) is activated in rat thyroid cells by TSH through a cAMP-dependent phosphorylation (Sette, C., Iona, S., and Conti, M.(1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 9245-9252). This short term activation may be involved in the termination of the hormonal stimulation and/or in the induction of desensitization. Here, we have further characterized the protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent phosphorylation of this PDE4D3 variant and identified the phosphorylation site involved in the PDE activation. The PKA-dependent incorporation of phosphate in the partially purified, recombinant rat PDE4D3 followed a time course similar to that of activation. Half-maximal activation of the enzyme was obtained with 0.6 microM ATP and 30 nM of the catalytic subunit of PKA. Phosphorylation altered the Vmax of the PDE without affecting the Km for cAMP. Phosphorylation also modified the Mg2+ requirements and the pattern of inhibition by rolipram. Cyanogen bromide cleavage of the 32P-labeled rat PDE4D3 yielded two or three major phosphopeptide bands, providing a first indication that the enzyme may be phosphorylated at multiple sites in a cell-free system. Site-directed mutagenesis was performed on the serine residues present at the amino terminus of this PDE in the context of preferred motifs for PKA phosphorylation. The PKA-dependent incorporation of 32P was reduced to the largest extent in mutants with both Ser13 --> Ala and Ser54 --> Ala substitutions, confirming the presence of more than one phosphorylation site in rat PDE4D3. While substitution of serine 13 with alanine did not affect the activation by PKA, substitution of Ser54 completely suppressed the kinase activation. Similar conclusions were reached with wild type and mutated PDE4D3 proteins expressed in MA-10 cells, where the endogenous PKA was activated by dibutyryl cAMP. Again, the PDE with the Ser54 --> Ala substitution could not be activated by the endogenous PKA in the intact cell. These findings support the hypothesis that the PDE4D3 variant contains a regulatory domain target for phosphorylation at the amino terminus of the protein and that Ser54 in this domain plays a crucial role in activation.

Abstract
In this communication we report that intact cell measurements of cAMP decay have shown an increase averaging over 80% in the cAMP decay constant (kdy) in intact S49 WT cells following a 24 hour growth in 3 nM epinephrine (24 hr/3 nM epinephrine). A comparable percentage increase was seen in cell free PDE activities from cells similarly treated. The enhanced PDE activity and kdy were detectable after 6 hours of incubation with 3 nM epinephrine, and were maximal by 24 hours of incubation. Lysate PDE activity returned to control levels within 24 hours after the cells were transferred to epinephrine-free growth medium. The increased PDE activity present in S49 WT cells after 24 hr/3 nM epinephrine was the result of increased concentrations of the enzymes already present or the expression of very similar enzymes, rather than the expression of enzymes with markedly different characteristics. Firstly, the apparent Km values for the PDE's in lysates from control and 24 hr/3 nM epinephrine cells were both in the region of 1 microM. Secondly, PDE activities in lysates from 24 hr/control and 24 hr/3 nM epinephrine S49 WT cells showed similar sensitivities to PDE inhibitors. There was support for the hypothesis that the increase in PDE activity in 24 hr/3 nM epinephrine S49 WT cells is dependent on the presence of cAPK. That is, although 24 hr/3nM epinephrine caused a distinct homologous desensitization of adenylate cyclase in S49 kin cells, neither kdy nor lysate PDE activity were affected. Additionally, 24 hours incubation of S49 WT cells with 3 microM dibutyryl cAMP resulted in increased PDE activity. Finally, the stimulatory effect of 24 hr/3 nM epinephrine on PDE activity was inhibited in the presence of cycloheximide, suggesting the involvement of protein synthesis in the process. This study shows that prolonged treatment with very low concentrations of epinephrine results in an increase in PDE activity which had a significant effect on cAMP accumulation. The increases were quantified by intact cell and cell free measurements, with kinetic data which were consistent with the hypothesis that the increased PDE activity in 24 hr/3 nM epinephrine cells reflected an increase PDE synthesis which was dependent on activation of the cAPK.

Abstract
The cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases constitute a complex superfamily of enzymes responsible for catalyzing the hydrolysis of cyclic nucleotides. Regulation of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases is one of the two major mechanisms by which intracellular cyclic nucleotide levels are controlled. In many cases the fluctuations in cyclic nucleotide levels in response to hormones is due to the hormone responsiveness of the phosphodiesterase. Isozymes of the cGMP-inhibited, cAMP-specific, calmodulin-stimulated and cGMP-binding phosphodiesterases have been demonstrated to be substrates for protein kinases. Here we review the evidence that hormonally responsive phosphorylation acts to regulate cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases. In particular, the cGMP-inhibited phosphodiesterases, which can be phosphorylated by at least two different protein kinases, are activated as a result of phosphorylation. In contrast, phosphorylation of the calmodulin-stimulated phosphodiesterases, which coincides with a decreased sensitivity to activation by calmodulin, results in decreased phosphodiesterase activity.

Abstract
The distinct phosphodiesterase isoenzyme activities in guinea-pig lung were identified and characterised. We demonstrate that protein kinase A catalyses the activation of lung Type V cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase. This occurs via a marked change in the Vmax for cyclic GMP hydrolysis. The sensitivity of the activated PDE to inhibition by zaprinast is also markedly reduced (zaprinast inhibits in PDE activity via a mixed mechanism). We suggest that activation of the PDE by protein kinase A involves a mechanism that leads to alteration in the regulatory action of a non-catalytic cyclic GMP binding site.

Abstract
The influence of insulin was studied in the monolayer hepatocyte cultures of newborn rats during anoxia. Insulin (1 x 10(-4) U ml-1) caused a significant increase of acid phosphatase activity in the lysosome-rich subcellular fraction after 20 min exposure of the cells to anoxia and also in experiments in which hepatocytes were incubated with insulin for 1 h in normoxia followed by exposure to anoxia for 20 min. The data obtained suggest that insulin had a stabilizing effect on lysosomal membranes when exposure to insulin was prolonged. On the other hand, insulin caused a more-than 2-fold increase in cAMP content in hepatocytes in a 2 min exposition when compared to control cultures. When exposition of the cells to insulin lasted for more than 2 min, lowering of cAMP content was observed. The data seem to indicate that the stabilizing effect of insulin on lysosomal membrane was secondary to the increase in the cAMP level. From the above evidence and that accumulated by others we conclude that there may exist an indirect connection between the cAMP level, insulin stabilizing action, and the state of lysosomal membranes.

Abstract
Three categories of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (cNPDE) are distinguished at present: type 1 with high affinity to cyclic GMP; type 2 with low affinity to cyclic AMP and to cyclic GMP; and type 3 with high affinity to cyclic AMP. For the evaluation of normal values in human spermatozoa 50 semen samples with normal classical semen parameters were investigated. The activities (means +/- SD) of the cNPDE types (10(-11) mol/10 min x 10(8) spermatozoa) of washed human spermatozoa amounted to 47 +/- 22 (type 1), 3350 +/- 1537 (type 2), and 70 +/- 38 (type 3). A significant inhibition of type 3 by cyclic GMP could not be detected. One milligram protein of the spermatozoa hydrolyzed about 20-fold the amount of cyclic nucleotides compared with 1 mg protein of the seminal plasma. Furthermore, the cNPDE of the spermatozoa and of the seminal plasma differed in the influence of type 3 by cyclic GMP and in the pattern of activities. The acrosome reaction (AR) induced by the cold shock method led to an activation of type 2 and 3 unlike the initiation of the AR by the digitonin method. The latter did not cause significant differences of the cNPDE activities before and after the AR.

Abstract
Employing the non-recirculating perfused rat liver preparation, we have investigated the regulation of hepatic gluconeogenesis, and metabolic fluxes through the tricarboxylic acid cycle and 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase reaction by epidermal growth factor (EGF) which mimics the actions of both insulin and Ca(2+)-mobilizing hormones (e.g. vasopressin). As monitored by the rate of 14CO2 production from [2-14C]pyruvate (0.5 mM), EGF (10 nM) transiently stimulated the activity of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. EGF also transiently stimulated hepatic gluconeogenesis from pyruvate. The transient stimulation of tricarboxylic acid cycle activity and gluconeogenesis were accompanied by an increase in perfusate Ca2+ content indicating that EGF also altered hepatic Ca2+ fluxes. EGF-elicited stimulation of gluconeogenesis was, at least in part, the result of a transient (50%) inhibition of pyruvate kinase activity. Likewise, EGF-mediated stimulation of tricarboxylic acid cycle activity can, in part, be attributed to EGF-elicited stimulation of metabolic flux through the mitochondrial, Ca(2+)-sensitive, 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase reaction. The regulation of hepatic metabolism by EGF appears to be the manifestation of alteration in cellular Ca2+ content since in experiments performed under conditions known to abolish the ability of EGF to alter cytosolic free-Ca2+ concentrations, i.e. in livers of pertussis-toxin-treated rats, EGF did not alter either perfusate Ca2+ content or any of the metabolic parameters monitored. Additionally, experiments involving pulsatile infusion of either EGF or phenylephrine into livers demonstrated that, unlike the alpha 1-adrenergic receptor, homologous desensitization of the EGF receptor occurs. Such a homologous desensitization of the EGF receptor can explain the transient nature of EGF-elicited stimulation of various metabolic processes. Since protein kinase C activation by EGF can lead to receptor desensitization, experiments were performed with phorbol esters which either activate or do not alter protein kinase C activity. While the inactive phorbol ester 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate did not modulate the hepatic actions of EGF, activation of protein kinase C by 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (70 nM) abolished the ability of EGF to stimulate gluconeogenesis, tricarboxylic acid cycle activity and metabolic flux through the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex.

Abstract
Cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase was measured in liver homogenates and microdissected periportal and perivenous liver tissue from rats in different dietary states under different conditions of substrate saturation and effector stimulation. A radiochemical microtest, more sensitive by 2-3 orders of magnitude than the usual assay, was established for the determination of the activity in liver samples corresponding to 200-800 ng dry weight. At saturating cyclic AMP concentrations (46 microM) phosphodiesterase was homogeneously distributed within the liver acinus of fed rats. Starvation for 48 h led to a decrease in the overall activity and to a heterogenous distribution with slightly higher activities in the perivenous zone. At physiological cyclic AMP concentrations (1.8 microM) phosphodiesterase showed a flat zonal gradient in livers of fed rats with higher levels in the periportal zone; after 48 h starvation it was homogeneously distributed. In the presence of cyclic GMP (2 microM) the basal activity at physiological substrate concentrations was stimulated to a greater extent in the perivenous zone. This led to a homogeneous activity distribution in the fed state and to a heterogenous pattern with a slight perivenous maximum in the fasted state. Thus there was no or only a small zonal heterogeneity of signal transmitting enzymes such as cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase and glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase (Zierz and Jungermann 1984). This similar signal transducing capacity in the periportal and the perivenous area will contribute to maintain the zonation of signal input due to the hormone concentration gradients across the liver acinus.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We hypothesized that somatostatin-14 (SS-14) might inhibit insulin-stimulated hepatic growth. Rat hepatocytes were isolated by a two-step collagenase perfusion technique and cultured on Matrigel. Differentiated hepatocyte function was documented by albumin synthesis. Hepatocytes were incubated with insulin in the presence or absence of SS-14. Hepatocyte proliferation was assessed by tritiated thymidine ([3H]thy) incorporation into DNA. [3H]thy incorporation was increased by 230% in the presence of insulin and was essentially abolished by the addition of SS-14. Insulin-stimulated cyclic-AMP accumulation was also decreased from 190 to 108% of control levels (P less than 0.05) by the addition of SS-14. Pretreatment with pertussis toxin, which inactivates the inhibitory G-protein, Gi, blocked the effect of SS-14. CONCLUSIONS (i) In the rat, SS-14 effectively blocks insulin-stimulated [3H]thy incorporation into DNA, possibly by blocking intracellular cAMP accumulation. (ii) Pertussis toxin blocks the growth inhibitory effects of SS-14, suggesting that inhibitory G proteins are involved in the mechanism of SS-14 action. Somatostatin may be useful in studying the role of second messengers in cell growth.

Abstract
The insulin-sensitive cAMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) from rat adipocytes was stimulated 60-70% upon incubation with 2 mM ATP and the soluble fraction (Fraction S-1) from insulin-treated rat liver. The effect of ATP was partially mimicked by ATP-gamma-S or GTP, but not by AMP-PNP. The PDE-stimulating activity in Fraction S-1 was preserved in the presence of 50 mM sodium phenyl phosphate, 50 mM sodium fluoride, and 0.1 mM sodium vanadate. The PDE-stimulating activity was not inhibited with either 0.5 mM H-7 or 5 microM PKI-(5-24)-peptide, but was blocked with 1 mM Kemptide. The active component in Fraction S-1 may be a phosphorylated compound, which, in the presence of ATP, may mediate the hormonal action on PDE.

Abstract
Homogenization of rat kidney under isotonic conditions and in the presence of protease inhibitors showed that some 92% of the cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity and some 83% of the cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase activity was released into the soluble fraction. Analysis of soluble phosphodiesterase activity by FPLC on a Mono-Q column resolved four distinct fractions expressing cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity. Lineweaver-Burk plots for the hydrolysis of both cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP yielded linear results. The first two peaks (KPDE-MQ-II, KPDE-MQ-III) showed higher activities towards cyclic GMP than cyclic AMP with the ratio of their Vmax values for the hydrolysis of cyclic AMP/cyclic GMP being 0.66 and 0.16, respectively. For the second two peaks (KPDE-MQ-IV, KPDE-MQ-V) the Vmax ratios for the hydrolysis of cyclic AMP/cyclic GMP were 6.4 and 16.7, respectively. All enzymes exhibited similar low Km values for both cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP but had very different Vmax values. KPDE-MQ-II was activated by Ca2+/calmodulin. The cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity of KPDE-MQ-III was augmented by the presence of low concentrations of cyclic GMP. Thermal denaturation studies showed that the phosphodiesterase activity of each fraction decayed as a single exponential indicating that each phosphodiesterase fraction contained but a single phosphodiesterase activity. The inhibitors IBMX, zaprinast, milrinone, amrinone, buquineran, carbazeran, ICI 118233, ICI 63197 exerted selective effects on the activities of these enzymes. We compared the action of these compounds on cyclic GMP phosphodiesterases from bovine retina. Over the concentration ranges used, the bovine retinal enzyme was only inhibited by IBMX, zaprinast and carbazeran. The cytosolic isoenzymes of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterases play a much more important role in metabolizing cyclic AMP in kidney compared with liver, where the activity of membrane-bound isoenzymes predominate.

Abstract
Vanadate increased lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity in the isolated fat pads in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The increasing effect of vanadate was inhibited by amiloride, similar to that of insulin, and it also was not additive to that of insulin. Although the increasing effects of vanadate and insulin were preserved in K(+)-free medium, appreciable decreases in both effects were observed by replacement of Na+ with choline ion or omission of Ca2+ in the medium. Vanadate showed the full effect in the presence of cycloheximide at concentrations that inhibited protein synthesis of the fat pads, suggesting that the action of vanadate is not due to the increase in protein synthesis. Tetrakis (acetoxymethyl) ester of quin 2 at 50 microM concentration never inhibited the action of vanadate though it showed a little inhibition at a concentration of 300 microM. No inhibition of the action of vanadate was observed with ruthenium red. These results suggest that vanadate increases the LPL activity via a process less sensitive to the intracellular Ca2+ concentration. Adrenaline, dibutyryl cyclic AMP, and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine all inhibited the action of vanadate, suggesting that the action is inhibited with increase in the intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP. Monensin and carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone inhibited the action of vanadate. In contrast, the action of insulin was never inhibited by monensin. Tunicamycin and 2-deoxyglucose, at rather high concentrations, inhibited both actions. These findings suggest that vanadate increases the LPL activity through mechanisms of action involving amiloride- and monensin-sensitive pathways dependent on energy.

Incubation of myocytes with isoproterenol produced a rapid concentration-dependent increase in cAMP concentration, cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity, and phosphorylase activity and a simultaneous decrease in the glycogen synthase activity ratio. Various cAMP analogues also produced a concentration-dependent increase in phosphorylase activity and a decline in the glycogen synthase activity ratio. Incubation of cells with insulin produced no change in basal phosphorylase activity but produced a rapid 40% increase in the glycogen synthase activity ratio. Inclusion of insulin in cell incubations containing increasing concentrations of isoproterenol did not modify the increases in cAMP concentration, protein kinase activity, or phosphorylase activity. Insulin also did not antagonize the ability of any of the cAMP analogues tested to activate phosphorylase, irrespective of the suitability of the particular cAMP analogue as a substrate for cAMP phosphodiesterases. The failure of insulin to antagonize the glycogenolytic effects of isoproterenol or cAMP analogues was paralleled by its failure to activate low-Km phosphodiesterase activity, but the cAMP analogue, 8-parachlorophenylthio-cAMP produced a small reproducible activation of the low-Km enzyme. In contrast to hepatocytes and adipocytes, where some effects of insulin appear to be due to activation of the phosphodiesterase and hydrolysis of cAMP, the effects in cardiomyocytes appear to be independent of an insulin-sensitive phosphodiesterase or of the effects on other components of the cAMP cascade.

Abstract
1. The sensitivity of partially purified low Km phosphodiesterase (PDE) from Mucor rouxii to pharmacological agents and cAMP analogs was studied. The IC50 obtained were compared with those reported for PDEs from higher eukaryotes. 2. The best inhibitors of the hydrolysis of 1 microM cAMP were SQ 65.442 (IC50 c 10 microM), dipyridamol and CI 930. cGMP was not an inhibitor (IC50 greater than 1000 microM). 3. The cAMP analogs were tested as inhibitors of the hydrolysis of 0.1 microM cAMP. 8-Aminohexylamino cAMP was the best inhibitor with an IC50 of c 1 microM. 4. A sedimentation profile of Mucor PDE was assayed in the presence of several pharmacological inhibitors and cAMP analogs. No isoforms with different sensitivity towards the inhibitors were detected. Forms with slightly different behaviour towards some cAMP analogs were observed.

Abstract
DEAE chromatography of a high speed supernatant fraction from a homogenate of rat liver, prepared under isotonic conditions in the presence of protease inhibitors, yielded three peaks of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity (PDE activity). The first peak could be resolved on Affi-gel Blue chromatography to yield a Ca2+/calmodulin stimulated cyclic GMP specific PDE and a cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP hydrolysing PDE whose activity was insensitive to Ca2+/calmodulin. These two activities could also be clearly resolved by Mono-Q chromatography of soluble extracts from both liver and hepatocytes. These had different molecular weights, kinetics of substrate utilization, thermostabilities, dependence on Mg2+ and inhibitor sensitivities. The cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP utilizing PDE resolved in these procedures appears to be a novel enzyme form (PDE-MQ-I) which is insensitive to inhibition by the so-called non-selective PDE inhibitor IBMX and displays catalytic activity in the absence of Mg2+. None of the inhibitors tested were capable of inhibiting this form showing that the catalytic activity of this species could be distinguished from all the other soluble activities. This novel enzyme hydrolysed both cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP with Km values of 25 microM and 237 microM, respectively. The Vmax ratio of hydrolysis of cyclic GMP/cyclic AMP was above unity (1.4). It accounted for 30% of the soluble cyclic AMP PDE activity and 10% of the cyclic GMP PDE activity assessed at 1 microM substrate. Gel filtration of PDE-MQ-I indicated a size of 33,150 Da, in contrast to the size of 237,500 Da observed for the Ca2+/calmodulin PDE-MQ-II. Thermal inactivation of PDE-MQ-I and PDE-MQ-II yielded single exponential decays with t1/2 values of 6.33 min and 0.7 min at 60 degrees respectively. In the presence of saturating Ca2+, PDE-MQ-II was activated by calmodulin with an EC50 of ca. 30 ng/ml. In the presence of calmodulin, PDE-MQ-II was activated by Ca2+ with an EC50 of ca. 20 microM. Chromatography of homogenates on Mono-Q also identified a cyclic GMP-activated cyclic nucleotide PDE (PDE-MQ-III) and two cyclic AMP specific activities (PDE-MQ-IV and PDE-MQ-V). These exhibited very different inhibitor sensitivities and could be readily distinguished using the compound Ro-20-1724 which yielded IC50 values for inhibition of greater than 500 microM, 13 microM and 1.5 microM, respectively, for the hepatocyte enzymes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Insulin sensitive phosphodiesterase from rat adipocytes is found in particulate fractions. Solubilisation of the enzyme with triton X-100 yields a preparation containing more than one phosphodiesterase activity as judged by its rate of thermal denaturation at 45 degrees C and by its non-linear kinetic plots. Immunoprecipitation of solubilised activity with a polyclonal antiserum raised against purified insulin-sensitive rat liver phosphodiesterase selected a form of the enzyme which showed a single exponential decay of enzyme activity when heated at 45 degrees C and linear low Km kinetics. Treatment of adipocytes with insulin ACTH, glucagon or isoproterenol stimulated the low Km particulate phosphodiesterase. The hormonal activation was retained following solubilisation and was also seen when activity was immunoprecipitated. It is suggested that all four hormones activate the same form of phosphodiesterase.

Abstract
Freshly isolated adult rat hepatocytes were found to be coupled through gap junctions, but coupling decreased abruptly 5-8 h after plating the cells on plastic culture dishes in physiological saline containing insulin and fetal calf serum. Loss of intercellular coupling was associated with disappearance of 27-kDa gap junction protein and of gap junctions seen by electron microscopy or immunocytochemistry. This disappearance of coupling was delayed approximately 8 h by treatment of the cultures with membrane permeant adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) [but not guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP)] derivatives. Levels of gap junction protein and anatomically identified junctions were also maintained by 8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-BrcAMP). Level of mRNA encoding the gap junction protein was maintained longer in cells treated with 8-BrcAMP than in untreated cells, but 8-BrcAMP did not detectably increase the transcription rate. Thus prolongation of coupling must result at least partially from extension of the lifetime of gap junction mRNA, allowing translation of message and assembly of channels for a longer period after plating. Treatment of cells with mRNA or protein synthesis inhibitors (alpha-amanitin and cycloheximide) prolonged coupling to a similar extent as did treatment with 8-BrcAMP. alpha-Amanitin blocked transcription of gap junction mRNA, but levels of cytoplasmic mRNA encoding the 27-kDa gap junction protein were maintained, presumably by block of transcription of an mRNA degrading factor. The factor is probably a protein, since a similar effect on mRNA level was produced in cycloheximide-treated cells. Cells cultured in control medium were also observed to flatten as they became uncoupled, whereas cells cultured for as long as 16 h in elevated 8-BrcAMP remained round and well coupled. The correlation between shape and coupling strength was not obtained after treatment with the microtubule stabilizing agent, taxol, which maintained the spherical shape of the cells but did not delay the disappearance of dye coupling. Nocodazole, which blocks microtubule formation, also maintained the spherical shape of the cells but delayed the disappearance of dye coupling. In addition to gating by covalent modification or other mechanisms, hormones and drugs that alter the intracellular cAMP concentration may affect intercellular communication by changing the lifetime of the mRNA encoding the main gap junction protein, thereby decreasing or increasing its synthesis. In addition, cAMP may act by decreasing removal of junctions from appositional membranes.

Abstract
Cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) is an enzyme involved in cellular homeostasis of cyclic AMP. It exists as multiple isozymes in cells, but only the high affinity, membrane-bound isozyme is sensitive to hormonal modulation. Several isozymes or isoforms of the low Km PDE have been detected. Data suggest that several mechanisms exist for hormonal modulation of PDE. Activity of the low Km PDE species may be modulated by phosphorylation/dephosphorylation, phospholipid substrate concentration, insulin second messenger, cyclic GMP, guanine nucleotide binding proteins, calmodulin, or aggregation/disaggregation of monomeric forms. Modulation of PDE isoforms by different hormones may be through different regulatory components or mechanisms.

Abstract
Vasopressin has been shown previously to lower the glucagon-induced increase of cyclic AMP levels in isolated rat hepatocytes by way of an enhanced phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.17) activity. Five phosphodiesterase inhibitors were tested for their ability to prevent vasopressin from lowering cyclic AMP levels in intact hepatocytes and for their inhibitory effect in vitro on soluble and particulate phosphodiesterase activities partially purified from hepatocytes. Three soluble activities have been separated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography: a phosphodiesterase hydrolyzing both cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP, a form stimulated by cyclic GMP and a cyclic AMP-specific activity. The absence of any statistically significant correlation between the in vivo (in intact cells) and the in vitro (on isolated phosphodiesterases) potencies of the inhibitors does not support a role for the cytosolic phosphodiesterases in mediating the vasopressin-induced decrease in cyclic AMP levels. No statistically significant correlation was observed between the inhibition of the vasopressin effect on cyclic AMP accumulation and the inhibition of phosphodiesterase activity either associated with the native plasma membranes or solubilized from these membranes with 0.4 M NaCl. In contrast, a statistically significant correlation was observed between the degree of inhibition of the vasopressin effect in the intact cells and the degree of inhibition of the intrinsic phosphodiesterase still associated with the plasma membranes after high-salt treatment. These data indicate that a phosphodiesterase activity integral to the plasma membrane is very likely involved in the negative control of cyclic AMP levels by vasopressin.

Abstract
Membrane-bound low-Km cAMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) was activated when intact rat fat cells were incubated with somatomedin C. Somatomedin C rapidly stimulated the enzyme, reaching a maximum reaction in 5 to 10 minutes. By kinetic analysis, somatomedin C activated PDE by increasing the maximal velocity (Vmax) values without altering the Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) values (0.24 +/- 0.03 mumol/L). The ED50 value of the activation by somatomedin C was very high (38.0 +/- 3.2 nmol/L) compared with that of insulin (0.22 +/- 0.07 nmol/L). This indicates that somatomedin C was about 173 times less potent than insulin in the stimulation of PDE. This potency ratio is similar to those that have been reported on lipid formation or on the other biologic insulinlike activities. When the insulin receptors were destroyed by trypsin treatment, effects of somatomedin C on the enzyme activation were abolished. This finding suggests that activation of PDE by somatomedin C was mediated through the insulin receptor.

Abstract
In vivo experiments have shown that hepatic steroid metabolism is under hormonal control but the intracellular mechanism of action of the hormones has been little studied. One pathway of hormone action known to be active in the liver is the alteration of cyclic-AMP levels. To investigate the role played by cyclic-AMP in the control of hepatic steroid metabolism, we raised intracellular cyclic-AMP by a number of methods and studied the resultant changes in the metabolism of androst-4-ene-3,17-dione after various periods of time. Results indicate that cyclic-AMP levels are raised to their maximal levels (2-20-fold stimulation) 2-20 min following the additions but that the effects on steroid metabolism were seen later and depended on the initial change in cyclic-AMP levels. At lower rises in cyclic-AMP (up to 5-fold stimulation), a marked inhibition of steroid metabolism is seen at 1/2-1 hr post-treatment, whereas at higher stimulations of cyclic-AMP (greater than 10-fold stimulation), a significant stimulation of steroid metabolism is observed at later time periods (after 1 hr), sometimes following a slight inhibition at 1/2 hr. This indicates that acute rises in intracellular cyclic-AMP produced by hormonal stimulation may play a role in regulating steroid metabolism in the rat liver both in an inhibitory and a stimulatory direction.

Abstract
A low-Km cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase solubilised from rat liver membranes by mild proteolysis with chymotrypsin has been purified to apparent homogeneity. The purification included chromatography on cellulose phosphate, Ecteola-cellulose, hydroxyapatite, a theophylline affinity matrix and HPLC on a DEAE-substituted column. The purified enzyme has linear kinetic plots with a Km of 0.24 microM and a Vmax of 6.2 mumol mg-1 min-1 with cyclic AMP as a substrate. It also hydrolyses cyclic GMP with a Km of 0.17 microM and a Vmax which is about a third of that with cyclic AMP. Cyclic GMP is also a competitive inhibitor of cyclic AMP hydrolysis with a Ki of 0.18 microM. The proteolytically solubilised enzyme has a subunit molecular mass of 73 kDa by SDS gel electrophoresis and of 130 kDa by HPLC size-exclusion chromatography, suggesting that it exists as a dimer. A partially purified preparation of this enzyme was used to raise antiserum in a sheep. The antiserum immunoprecipitated activity from liver and adipose tissue of rat and mouse. It had little activity against phosphodiesterase from other rat tissues or other species. Insulin-activated phosphodiesterase from both adipocytes and hepatocytes was immunoprecipitated by the antiserum suggesting that the purified enzyme was an insulin-sensitive phosphodiesterase.

Abstract
A procedure for the separation of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase from a commercially available preparation and for raising antibodies against this enzyme in rabbits is described. An antiserum thus obtained was used for the immunocytochemical detection of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase in rat cerebellum. The molecular layer, the granular layer and the cerebellar white matter exhibited different degrees of immunoreactivity. Only a few cell bodies (possibly glial cells) were stained. Most of the antigenic sites were present in the neuropil of the molecular layer and around Purkinje cells. Cerebellar glomeruli, sites of synaptic interactions between mossy fibres, Golgi cells and granule cells, were also stained by this antiserum. Control reactions using preimmune serum were consistently negative.
