Abstract excerpt
Phosphodiesterase 2A (PDE2A) is a cAMP-cGMP hydrolyzing enzyme essential for mouse development and the PDE2A knockout model (PDE2A-/-) is embryonic lethal. Notably, livers of PDE2A-/- embryos at embryonic day 14.5 (E14.5) have extremely reduced size. Morphological, cellular and molecular analyses revealed loss of integrity in the PDE2A-/- liver niche that compromises the hematopoietic function and maturation....
