DIFFERENTIAL EXPRESSION AND FUNCTION OF PDE8 AND PDE4 IN EFFECTOR T CELLS: IMPLICATIONS FOR PDE8 AS A DRUG TARGET IN INFLAMMATION.

Differential expression and function of PDE8 and PDE4 in effector T cells: Implications for PDE8 as a drug target in inflammation.

Abolishing the inhibitory signal of intracellular cAMP is a prerequisite for effector T (Teff) cell function.The regulation of cAMP within leukocytes critically depends on its degradation by cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs).We have previously shown that PDE8A, a PDE isoform with 40-100-fold greater affinity for cAMP than PDE4, is selecti
