Abstract
The colocalization of smooth muscle α-actin and PDE4 with cAK, as well as the results from the organ bath experiments, provide further evidence for a pivotal role of the cAMP-dependent signaling in the regulation of prostate smooth muscle contractility. Compounds interacting with the cAMP/cAK pathway might represent a new therapeutic avenue to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia and lower urinary tract symptomatology.
