Objectives: Phosphodiesterase 9 ( PDE9) is a major isoform of phosphodiesterase hydrolysing cGMP and plays a key role in proliferation of cells, their differentiation and apoptosis, via intracellular cGMP signalling. The study described here was designed to investigate expression, activity and apoptotic effect of PDE9 on human breast cancer cell lines, MCF- 7 and MDA- MB- 468. Materials and methods: Activity and expression of PDE9 were examined using colorimetric cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase assay and real- time RT- PCR methods respectively; cGMP concentration was also measured. MTT viability test, annexin V- FITC staining, Hoechst 33258 staining and caspase3 activity assay were used to detect apoptosis. Results: Treatment of both cell lines with BAY 736691 lead to reduction in PDE9 mRNA expression, PDE9 cGMP- hydrolytic activity and elevation of the intracellular cGMP response. BAY 73- 6691 significantly reduced cell proliferation in a doseand time- dependent manner and caused marked increase in apoptosis through caspase3 activation. Conclusion: Our results revealed that BAY 736691 induced apoptosis in these breast cancer cell lines through the cGMP pathway. These data suggest that BAY 73- 6691 could be utilized as an agent in treatment of breast cancer.
