Phosphodiesterase 4A/PDE4A Overexpression Lysate

HEK293T cells in 10-cm dishes were transiently transfected with a non-lipid polymer transfection reagent specially designed and manufactured for large volume DNA transfection. Transfected cells were cultured for 48hrs before collection. The cells were lysed in modified RIPA buffer (25mM Tris-HCl pH7.6, 150mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 1mM EDTA, 1xProteinase inhibitor cocktail mix, 1mM PMSF and 1mM Na3VO4, and then centrifuged to clarify the lysate. Protein concentration was measured by BCA protein assay kit.

Enzymes of the cAMP-dependent phosphodiesterase type 4 (PDE4) family are important in hydrolyzing cAMP produced by G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) stimulated adenylyl cyclases. In brain, more than 90% of cAMP formed by the stimulation of GPCRs is hydrolyzed by PDE4 enzymes. PDE4 enzymes are also important molecular targets for a variety of therapeutic agents like antidepressants, anti-asthmatics, and anti-inflammatory drugs. PDE4 family comprises 4 genes (PDE4A, B, C and D); each exhibiting multiple isozymes due to alternate splicing that leads to a larger number of distinct PDE4 variants. Members of the PDE4 family are regulated/activated by phosphorylation/dephosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase A and phosphatases. Protein-protein interactions and cellular trafficking of PDE4A enzymes play an important role in cAMP compartmentalization and cAMP-dependent signaling. In brain members of the PDE4A, B and D family are associated with GPCRs (adrenergic and dopaminergic) signaling.
