title: Differential expression of cGMP-inhibited cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases in human hepatoma cell lines.
abstract: PDE3 or cGMP-inhibited cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (cGI PDE) activity was detected in homogenates of HepG2, Hep3B and HuH7, but not SK-Hep-1, human hepatoma cells. In HepG2 and Hep3B cells PDE3 activity was found predominantly in particulate fractions; in HuH7, in both particulate and supernatant fractions. cDNAs encoding two human PDE3s (an 'adipocyte' type, HcGIP1, and a 'cardiovascular' type, HcGIP2) have been cloned. HcGIP1 cDNA hybridized strongly with poly(A)+ RNA species from HepG2 and Hep3B. Both HcGIP1 and HcGIP2 mRNAs were expressed in Hep3B and HuH7 cells. The nucleotide sequence of an approximately 300-bp cDNA fragment, isolated after RT-PCR cloning from HepG2 RNA, was identical to a sequence within the conserved domain of HcGIP1 cDNA, consistent with the presence of HcGIP1 mRNA in HepG2 cells.
