The effects of phosphodiesterase (PDE) 4 inhibitors on gene expression changes in BEAS-2B human airway epithelial cells are reported and discussed in relation to the mechanism(s) of action of roflumilast in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Microarray-based gene expression profiling failed to identify mRNA transcripts that were differentially regulated by the PDE4 inhibitor 6-[3-(dimethylcarbamoyl)benzenesulphonyl]-4-[(3-methoxyphenyl)amino]-8-methylquinoline-3-carboxamide (GSK 256066) after 1, 2, 6, or 18 hours of exposure. However, real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that GSK 256066 was a weak stimulus, and the negative microarray results reflected low statistical power due to small sample sizes.

From the perspective of the Czech Republic COPD was responsible for 21 000 acute hospitalizations and 3 500 deaths, mortality reaches 33/100 000 in 2015. Early stages of disease may be associated with a significant reduction of exercise capacity and the reduction of activities of daily living.
