Phosphodiesterase 11A (PDE11A), a 3',5'-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, is a key regulator of intracellular signaling that functions by degrading cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). However, the function of PDE11A in brain tumors is currently unclear. In this study, we found that PDE11A may be involved in glioblastoma development. The protein and mRNA levels of PDE11A were significantly higher in U87-MG, U251-MG and U343-MG glioblastoma cell lines. Gene expression analyses by deep-sequencing revealed that PDE11A mRNA levels were higher in U87-MG and U251-MG cells compared to other cells in the cerebral cortex. A comprehensive analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data revealed that PDE11A expression was also elevated in glioblastoma patients. Taken together, these data indicate that PDE11A expression was increased in glioblastoma cell lines and glioma patients, suggesting that PDE11A could be a putative diagnostic marker and therapeutic target for glioma.

Purpose: Primary bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (PBMAH), the most common cause of Cushing's syndrome due to bilateral nodules, is a heterogeneous disease at the clinical, hormonal and morphological levels. ARMC5 inactivating pathogenic variants are causative of PBMAH and rare variants of PDE11A have been associated with PBMAH.

Methods: Leukocyte DNA of 354 PBMAH index cases was sequenced for ARMC5 and PDE11A genes by Next generation sequencing (NGS).

Article Synopsis
  • - In this study, researchers created new compounds based on roflumilast to specifically inhibit the PDE-4B enzyme, using a set of synthesized compounds (4a-u, 5a-i, and 6) that were tested against PDE-4B and compared to roflumilast.
  • - Four compounds (4i, 4k, 4p, and 4q) showed strong inhibitory activity with 4p being the most potent (IC = 5.50 nM), even outperforming roflumilast (IC = 2.36 nM) in terms of potency.
  • - The selective inhibition characteristics of these compounds were analyzed, with compound 4k

The phenotype of the pediatric patient with Cushing syndrome but without obesity.

Objective: Cushing syndrome (CS) often presents with obesity that is not as severe in children as it is in adults. The role of obesity in the severity of metabolic syndrome in children with CS has not been studied. This study evaluates whether pediatric patients with CS have obesity-specific differences in their demographic, biochemical, and presenting findings.

Bilateral macronodular adrenocortical disease (BMAD) is an uncommon cause of Cushing's syndrome leading to bilateral macronodules. Isolated BMAD has been classified into three molecular groups: patients with ARMC5 alteration, KDM1A alteration, and patients without known genetic cause. The aim of this study was to identify by NGS, in a cohort of 26 patients with BMAD, the somatic alterations acquired in different nodules after macrodissection from patients with germline ARMC5 or KDM1A alterations and to analyze potential somatic alterations in a panel of five other genes involved in adrenal pathology (GNAS, PDE8B, PDE11A, PRKAR1A, and PRKACA).
