TL;DR
The results suggest that just as short-term regulation of cyclic AMP levels occurs via changes in the rates of synthesis or degradation, long-term alterations of the system may also involve either the adenylate cyclase or the phosphodiesterase.
Abstract
Long-term regulation of the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase of the C-6 rat glioma cell line has been studied. Both the low K(m) and high K(m) activities can be induced by elevation of intracellular cyclic AMP levels following either dibutyryl cyclic AMP or norepinephrine treatment of the cells. The enzymes are maximally induced by 3-4 hr. The presence of either cycloheximide or actinomycin D prevents induction by either dibutyryl cyclic AMP or norepinephrine. Evidence is presented that the norepinephrine effect is mediated by the beta-catecholamine receptor. The increased phosphodiesterase activity causes a partial refractoriness to a second challenge with norepinephrine, which can be overcome by blockade of the induction with cycloheximide. The results suggest that just as short-term regulation of cyclic AMP levels occurs via changes in the rates of synthesis or degradation, long-term alterations of the system may also involve either the adenylate cyclase or the phosphodiesterase.

In combination, epinephrine and caffeine acted synergistically, producing large increases in cyclic AMP, indicating that, as in other systems, the catecholamines act to stimulate adenyl cyclase and the methyl xanthines act to inhibit the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase.

In all cases, norepinephrine and isoproterenol produced striking elevations of the intracellular concentrations of the cyclic nucleotide, mediated by a beta-adrenergic receptor, which is hypothesized to represent a molecular mechanism for neuronal-glial communication coupled to concurrent communication between neurons.

Observations are consistent with the view that the effects of insulin and perhaps corticosteroids on cAMP-mediated processes in fat cells may be the result of alterations in the activity of a membrane-associated phosphodiesterase which has a relatively high affinity for cAMP.

It is suggested that the increase in phosphodiesterase activity that appears to be a consequence of prolonged elevation of cyclic AMP concentration may account at least in part for the apparent "refractoriness" to PGE(1) that develops after incubation for several hours with this compound.
