Immunohistochemical distribution of cAMP- and cGMP-phosphodiesterase (PDE) isoenzymes in the human prostate.
OBJECTIVES With the introduction of sildenafil citrate (Viagra), the concept of phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibition has gained tremendous interest in the field of urology. Cyclic nucleotide second messengers cGMP and cAMP have been assumed to be involved in the control of the normal function of the prostate. The aim of the present study was to evaluate by means of immunohistochemistry the expres...
متن کاملExpression of cAMP and cGMP-phosphodiesterase isoenzymes 3, 4, and 5 in the human clitoris: immunohistochemical and molecular biology study.
OBJECTIVES Only a little research has focused on the evaluation of female sexual function. With sexual stimulation, the clitoris becomes engorged with blood and tumescent. Nevertheless, only little is known about the significance of the cyclic nucleotide-mediated signal transduction in the control of this process. We sought to elucidate the presence of the phosphodiesterase (PDE) isoenzymes 3, ...
متن کاملPhosphodiesterase 4-targeted treatments for autoimmune diseases
Advancements in phosphodiesterase (PDE)-targeted therapies have shown promise in recent years for treating patients with a variety of autoimmune diseases. This review summarizes the development of PDE4 inhibitors and the associated literature with a focus on treatments for autoimmune diseases. After the initial investigations of the prototypic PDE inhibitor, rolipram, more selective inhibitors ...
متن کاملPhosphodiesterase inhibitors: Lily the Pink's medicinal compound for asthma?
The second messenger cyclic nucleotides, cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP, mediate relaxation of airways smooth muscle and suppression of multiple inflammatory cell functions. The intracellular concentrations of these cyclic nucleotides are regulated by a superfamily of phosphodiesterase (PDE) enzymes which break down cAMP and cGMP and, thereby, affect airway tone and inflammation. Theophylline and ot...
متن کاملIntralesional collagenase in the treatment of Peyronie's disease.
The objective of intralesional pharmacotherapy in the treatment of Peyronie's disease is to deliver large doses of pharmacologic agents that can have a local effect on wound remodeling, with minimal side effects. Guidelines for the treatment of peyronie's disease published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine and the European Association of Urology offer no grade A evidence of efficacy with multip...
