摘要：

This study investigates the effect of protein kinase G (PKG) activation upon proliferation of human cultured prostatic stromal cells. The PKG II activator (8-pCPT-cGMP; IC50 of 113 +/- 42 nM) and the phosphodiesterase inhibitor, zaprinast (up to 50 muM), but not the PKG I isoform activators (APT-cGMP and PET-cGMP), reduced foetal calf serum-stimulated proliferation. The effect of 8-pCPT-cGMP (30 muM) was blocked by Rp-8-Br-cGMPS (5 muM) and Rp-8-pCPT-cGMP (5 muM), but not Rp-cAMPS (5 muM). 8-pCPT-cGMP (30 muM) and zaprinast (50 muM), but not PET-cGMP (30 muM), caused a significant increase in atypical nuclei and an increase in annexin-V staining. These data indicate that activation of PKG II induces apoptosis of human cultured prostatic stromal cells. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
