Abstract

Abstract: 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.
