BACKGROUND Differentiation-inducing factor 1 [DIF-1; 1-(3,5-dichloro-2,6-dihydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl) hexan-1-one] from Dictyostelium discoideum exhibits antiproliferative activity in mammalian cells. We have previously shown that phosphodiesterase 1 (PDE1) is a pharmacological target of DIF-1, but there are no reports of PDE1 in human malignant melanoma cells. Therefore, we characterized PDE1 in human malignant melanoma MAA cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS PDE1 mRNA expression was investigated in MAA cells. The full open reading frames for human PDE1C1 and PDE1C3 were cloned. Cell growth was determined by MTS [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, inner salt] assay. RESULTS PDE1C mRNA expression was detected in MAA cells. The nucleotide sequence of PDE1C1 was identical to that of human PDE1C1, previously published. At nucleotide 2246 in PDE1C3, A was replaced by G, but this did not change the encoded amino acid. Cell growth was inhibited by the PDE1 inhibitor vinpocetin. CONCLUSION PDE1C mRNA is expressed and may play an important role in human malignant melanoma MAA cells.
