lüll Regulation of cAMP by phosphodiesterases in erythrocytes Adderley SP; Sprague RS; Stephenson AH; Hanson MSPharmacol Rep 2010[May]; 62 (3): 475-82The erythrocyte, a cell responsible for carrying and delivering oxygen in the body, has often been regarded as simply a vehicle for the circulation of hemoglobin. However, it has become evident that this cell also participates in the regulation of vascular caliber in the microcirculation via release of the potent vasodilator, adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The regulated release of ATP from erythrocytes occurs via a defined signaling pathway and requires increases in cyclic 3',5'- adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). It is well recognized that cAMP is a critical second messenger in diverse signaling pathways. In all cells increases in cAMP are localized and regulated by the activity of phosphodiesterases (PDEs). In erythrocytes activation of either beta adrenergic receptors (beta(2)AR) or the prostacyclin receptor (IPR) results in increases in cAMP and ATP release. Receptor-mediated increases in cAMP are tightly regulated by distinct PDEs associated with each signaling pathway as shown by the finding that selective inhibitors of the PDEs localized to each pathway potentiate both increases in cAMP and ATP release. Here we review the profile of PDEs identified in erythrocytes, their association with specific signaling pathways and their role in the regulation of ATP release from these cells. Understanding the contribution of PDEs to the control of ATP release from erythrocytes identifies this cell as a potential target for the development of drugs for the treatment of vascular disease.|Animals[MESH]|Cell Compartmentation[MESH]|Cyclic AMP/*blood/metabolism[MESH]|Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterases, Type 1/blood/metabolism[MESH]|Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterases, Type 2/blood/metabolism[MESH]|Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterases, Type 3/blood/metabolism[MESH]|Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterases, Type 4/blood/metabolism[MESH]|Erythrocytes/enzymology/*metabolism[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Phosphoric Diester Hydrolases/*blood/metabolism[MESH]|Rabbits[MESH]|Signal Transduction[MESH] |
