Dual regulation of heat-stable enterotoxin-mediated cGMP accumulation in T84 cells by receptor desensitization and increased phosphodiesterase activity.
    FEBS letters, 1997, May-26, Volume: 408, Issue:3

    We report the regulation of cGMP accumulation induced by the heat-stable enterotoxin, STh, in the T84 human colonic cell line. STh binding to its receptor, guanylyl cyclase C (GCC), leads to elevated intracellular levels of cGMP. Prolonged exposure of T84 cells to STh induced refractoriness to further cGMP accumulation, without significant receptor internalization, but with reduced STh-induced cGMP synthesis by the receptor. Significantly, increased degradation of cGMP by a cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase was observed in desensitized cells. This is the first report on the desensitization of GCC, as well as the role of the Type V phosphodiesterase in inducing cellular refractoriness.
