Abstract
Phosphodiesterases (PDE) type 3 and 4 promote vasoconstriction by hydrolysing cAMP. In experimental heart failure (HF), PDE3 makes PDE4 redundant in aorta, but it is not known if this occurs in resistance vessels, such as mesenteric artery. As PDE2 is increased in the failing myocardium, its possible role in the vasculature also needs to be addressed. Here, the function of PDE2, PDE3 and PDE4 in rat mesenteric arteries was characterized in experimental HF. Mesenteric arteries were isolated from rats sacrificed 22 weeks after surgical stenosis of the ascending aorta (HF), or Sham surgery. PDE inhibitors were used to probe isoenzyme contributions in enzymatic and isometric tension assays. PDE2 and PDE4 activities, but not PDE3 activity, facilitate contraction produced by the thromboxane analogue U46619 in Sham arteries, while in HF all three isoenzymes contribute to this response. NO synthase inhibition by L-NAME abolished the action of the PDE2 inhibitor. L-NAME eliminated the contribution of PDE4 in HF, but unmasked a contribution for PDE3 in Sham. PDE3 and PDE4 activities attenuated relaxant response to β-adrenergic stimulation in Sham and HF. PDE2 did not participate in cAMP or cGMP-mediated relaxant responses. PDE3 and PDE4 cAMP-hydrolysing activities were smaller in HF mesenteric arteries, while PDE2 activity was scarce in both groups. Endothelial cells and arterial myocytes displayed PDE2 immunolabelling. We highlight that, by contrast with previous observations in aorta, PDE4 participates equally as PDE3 in contracting mesenteric artery in HF. PDE2 activity emerges as a promoter of contractile response that is preserved in HF.

Abstract
Cyclic nucleotides (cAMP, cGMP) play a major role in normal and pathologic signaling. Beyond receptors, cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases; (PDEs) rapidly convert the cyclic nucleotide in its respective 5′-nucleotide to control intracellular cAMP and/or cGMP levels to maintain a normal physiological state. However, in many pathologies, dysregulations of various PDEs (PDE1-PDE11) contribute mainly to organs and tissue failures related to uncontrolled phosphorylation cascade. Among these, PDE4 represents the greatest family, since it is constituted by 4 genes with multiple variants differently distributed at tissue, cellular and subcellular levels, allowing different fine-tuned regulations. Since the 1980s, pharmaceutical companies have developed PDE4 inhibitors (PDE4-I) to overcome cardiovascular diseases. Since, they have encountered many undesired problems, (emesis), they focused their research on other PDEs. Today, increases in the knowledge of complex PDE4 regulations in various tissues and pathologies, and the evolution in drug design, resulted in a renewal of PDE4-I development. The present review describes the recent PDE4-I development targeting cardiovascular diseases, obesity, diabetes, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s disease, malignancies, fatty liver disease, osteoporosis, depression, as well as COVID-19. Today, the direct therapeutic approach of PDE4 is extended by developing allosteric inhibitors and protein/protein interactions allowing to act on the PDE interactome.

Abstract
Wire myography enables the investigation of vascular tone and function of small vessels. The vessel of interest is harvested from the experimental model of choice, and then mounted as ring preparations onto a four-channel wire myograph. This technique enables ex vivo measurements of isometric response of vessels to different pharmacological agents. Here we describe in detail how to dissect, mount, and normalize vessels for the wire myography technique. We will also provide examples of how to construct concentration-response curves to a contractile and vasodilatory pharmacological agent.

PDE-Mediated Cyclic Nucleotide Compartmentation in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells: From Basic to a Clinical Perspective. J Cardiovasc Dev Dis 2021; 9:jcdd9010004.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are important causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are major components of blood vessels and are involved in physiologic and pathophysiologic conditions. In healthy vessels, vascular SMCs contribute to vasotone and regulate blood flow by cyclic nucleotide intracellular pathways. However, vascular SMCs lose their contractile phenotype under pathological conditions and alter contractility or signalling mechanisms, including cyclic nucleotide compartmentation. In the present review, we focus on compartmentalized signaling of cyclic nucleotides in vascular smooth muscle. A deeper understanding of these mechanisms clarifies the most relevant axes for the regulation of vascular tone. Furthermore, this allows the detection of possible changes associated with pathological processes, which may be of help for the discovery of novel drugs.

[PMID: 33184031 DOI: 10.1016/j.yjmcc.2020.10.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2020] [Revised: 10/02/2020] [Accepted: 10/19/2020] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
Background In cardiomyocytes, phosphodiesterases (PDEs) type 3 and 4 are the predominant enzymes that degrade cAMP generated by β-adrenergic receptors (β-ARs), impacting notably the regulation of the L-type Ca2+ current (ICa,L). Cardiac hypertrophy (CH) is accompanied by a reduction in PDE3 and PDE4, however, whether this affects the dynamic regulation of cytosolic cAMP and ICa,L is not known. Methods and Results CH was induced in rats by thoracic aortic banding over a time period of five weeks and was confirmed by anatomical measurements. Left ventricular myocytes (LVMs) were isolated from CH and sham-operated (SHAM) rats and transduced with an adenovirus encoding a Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based cAMP biosensor or subjected to the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique to measure ICa,L. Aortic stenosis resulted in a 46% increase in heart weight to body weight ratio in CH compared to SHAM. In SHAM and CH LVMs, a short isoprenaline stimulation (Iso, 100 nM, 15 s) elicited a similar transient increase in cAMP with a half decay time (t1/2off) of ~50 s. In both groups, PDE4 inhibition with Ro 20-1724 (10 μM) markedly potentiated the amplitude and slowed the decline of the cAMP transient, this latter effect being more pronounced in SHAM (t1/2off ~ 250 s) than in CH (t1/2off ~ 150 s, P < 0.01). In contrast, PDE3 inhibition with cilostamide (1 μM) had no effect on the amplitude of the cAMP transient and a minimal effect on its recovery in SHAM, whereas it potentiated the amplitude and slowed the decay in CH (t1/2off ~ 80 s). Iso pulse stimulation also elicited a similar transient increase in ICa,L in SHAM and CH, although the duration of the rising phase was delayed in CH. Inhibition of PDE3 or PDE4 potentiated ICa,L amplitude in SHAM but not in CH. Besides, while only PDE4 inhibition slowed down the decline of ICa,L in SHAM, both PDE3 and PDE4 contributed in CH. Conclusion These results identify selective alterations in cytosolic cAMP and ICa,L regulation by PDE3 and PDE4 in CH, and show that the balance between PDE3 and PDE4 for the regulation of β-AR responses is shifted toward PDE3 during CH.

Abstract
The endothelium is the innermost vascular lining performing significant roles all over the human body while maintaining the blood pressure at physiological levels. Malfunction of endothelium is thus recognized as a biomarker linked with many vascular diseases including but not limited to atherosclerosis, hypertension and thrombosis. Alternatively, prevention of endothelial malfunctioning or regulating the functions of its associated physiological partners like endothelial nitric oxide synthase can prevent the associated vascular disorders which account for the highest death toll worldwide. While many anti-hypertensive drugs are available commercially, a comprehensive description of the key physiological roles of the endothelium and its regulation by endothelial nitric oxide synthase or vice versa is the need of the hour to understand its contribution in vascular homeostasis. This, in turn, will help in designing new therapeutics targeting endothelial nitric oxide synthase or its interacting partners present in the cellular pool. This review describes the central role of vascular endothelium in the regulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase while outlining the emerging drug targets present in the vasculature with potential to treat vascular disorders including hypertension.

Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases: New targets in the metabolic syndrome? Pharmacol Ther 2020; 208:107475.

Abstract
Metabolic diseases have a tremendous impact on human morbidity and mortality. Numerous targets regulating adenosine monophosphate kinase (AMPK) have been identified for treating the metabolic syndrome (MetS), and many compounds are being used or developed to increase AMPK activity. In parallel, the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase families (PDEs) have emerged as new therapeutic targets in cardiovascular diseases, as well as in non-resolved pathologies. Since some PDE subfamilies inactivate cAMP into 5'-AMP, while the beneficial effects in MetS are related to 5'-AMP-dependent activation of AMPK, an analysis of the various controversial relationships between PDEs and AMPK in MetS appears interesting. The present review will describe the various PDE families, AMPK and molecular mechanisms in the MetS and discuss the PDEs/PDE modulators related to the tissues involved, thus supporting the discovery of original molecules and the design of new therapeutic approaches in MetS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Up-regulation of phosphodiesterases (PDEs) is associated with several vascular diseases, and better understanding of the roles of each PDE isoform in controlling subcellular pools of cyclic nucleotides in vascular cells is needed. We investigated the respective role of PDE1, PDE5, and PDE9 in controlling intracellular cAMP and/or cGMP concentrations ([cAMP]i , [cGMP]i ) in cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RASMCs). EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH We used selective inhibitors of PDE1 (PF-04471141), PDE5 (sildenafil), and PDE9 (PF-04447943) to measure cAMP- and cGMP-PDE activities with a radioenzymatic assay, in RASMC extracts. Real-time [cAMP]i and [cGMP]i were recorded by Förster resonance energy transfer-imaging in single living cells, and cell proliferation was assessed in FBS-stimulated cells. KEY RESULTS PDE1, PDE5, and PDE9 represented the major cGMP-hydrolyzing activity in RASMCs. Basal PDE1 exerted a functional role in degrading in situ the cGMP produced in response to activation of particulate GC by C-type natriuretic peptide. In high intracellular Ca2+ concentrations, PDE1 also regulated the NO/soluble GC-dependent cGMP response, as well as the β-adrenoceptor-mediated cAMP response. PDE5 exerted a major role in degrading cGMP produced by NO and the natriuretic peptides. PDE9 only regulated the NO-induced [cGMP]i increase. All three PDEs contributed differently to regulate cell proliferation under basal conditions and upon cGMP-elevating stimuli. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Our data emphasize the distinct roles of PDE1, PDE5, and PDE9 in local regulation of [cAMP]i and [cGMP]i , in vascular smooth muscle cells, strengthening the concept of PDEs as key actors in the subcellular compartmentation of cyclic nucleotides.

Abstract
Abstract
Aims
Regulation of vascular tone by 3′,5′-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) involves many effectors including the large conductance, Ca2+-activated, K+ (BKCa) channels. In arteries, cAMP is mainly hydrolyzed by type 3 and 4 phosphodiesterases (PDE3, PDE4). Here, we examined the specific contribution of BKCa channels to tone regulation by these PDEs in rat coronary arteries, and how this is altered in heart failure (HF).
Methods and results
Concomitant application of PDE3 (cilostamide) and PDE4 (Ro-20-1724) inhibitors increased BKCa unitary channel activity in isolated myocytes from rat coronary arteries. Myography was conducted in isolated, U46619-contracted coronary arteries. Cilostamide (Cil) or Ro-20-1724 induced a vasorelaxation that was greatly reduced by iberiotoxin (IBTX), a BKCa channel blocker. Ro-20-1724 and Cil potentiated the relaxation induced by the β-adrenergic agonist isoprenaline (ISO) or the adenylyl cyclase activator L-858051 (L85). IBTX abolished the effect of PDE inhibitors on ISO but did not on L85. In coronary arteries from rats with HF induced by aortic stenosis, contractility and response to acetylcholine were dramatically reduced compared with arteries from sham rats, but relaxation to PDE inhibitors was retained. Interestingly, however, IBTX had no effect on Ro-20-1724- and Cil-induced vasorelaxations in HF. Expression of the BKCa channel α-subunit, of a 98 kDa PDE3A and of a 80 kDa PDE4D were lower in HF compared with sham coronary arteries, while that of a 70 kDa PDE4B was increased. Proximity ligation assays demonstrated that PDE3 and PDE4 were localized in the vicinity of the channel.
Conclusion
BKCa channels mediate the relaxation of coronary artery induced by PDE3 and PDE4 inhibition. This is achieved by co-localization of both PDEs with BKCa channels, enabling tight control of cAMP available for channel opening. Contribution of the channel is prominent at rest and on β-adrenergic stimulation. This coupling is lost in HF.

Abstract
Bitter taste receptors (TAS2Rs) are traditionally thought to be expressed exclusively on the taste buds of the tongue. However, accumulating evidence has indicated that this receptor family performs non-gustatory functions outside the mouth in addition to taste. Here, we examined the role of TAS2Rs in human and mouse detrusor smooth muscle (DSM). We showed that mRNA for various TAS2R subtypes was expressed in both human and mouse detrusor smooth muscle (DSM) at distinct levels. Chloroquine (CLQ), an agonist for TAS2Rs, concentration-dependently relaxed carbachol- and KCl-induced contractions of human DSM strips. Moreover, 100 μM of CLQ significantly inhibited spontaneous and electrical field stimulation (EFS)-induced contractions of human DSM strips. After a slight contraction, CLQ (1 mM) entirely relaxed carbachol-induced contraction of mouse DSM strips. Furthermore, denatonium and quinine concentration-dependently decreased carbachol-induced contractions of mouse DSM strips. Finally, we demonstrated that CLQ treatment significantly suppressed the overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms of mice with partial bladder outlet obstruction (PBOO). In conclusion, we for the first time provide evidence of the existence of TAS2Rs in the urinary DSM and demonstrate that TAS2Rs may represent a potential target for OAB. These findings open a new approach to develop drugs for OAB in the future.

Pflugers Arch 2018; 470:693-702. [PMID: 29294149 DOI: 10.1007/s00424-017-2106-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2017] [Revised: 12/15/2017] [Accepted: 12/21/2017] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3) exists in two isoforms (PDE3A and PDE3B) and is known to act as cGMP-inhibited cAMP-degrading PDE. Therefore, PDE3 may likely be involved in the interaction between the two second messenger pathways. NO-sensitive guanylyl cyclase (NO-GC) is the most important cytosolic generator of cGMP. Here, we investigated the effect of NO-GC deletion on PDE3A-mediated signaling in animals lacking NO-GC either globally (GCKO) or specifically in smooth muscle cells (SMC-GCKO). PDE3A expression is detected in murine aortic smooth muscle, platelets, and heart tissue. Expression and activity of PDE3A in aortae from GCKO and SMC-GCKO mice was reduced by approx. 50% compared to that in control animals. PDE3A downregulation can be linked to the reduction in NO-GC and is not an effect of the increased blood pressure levels resulting from NO-GC deletion. Despite the different PDE3A expression levels, smooth muscle relaxation induced by forskolin to stimulate cAMP signaling was similar in all genotypes. Basal and forskolin-stimulated cAMP levels in aortic tissue were not different between KO and control strains. However, the potency of milrinone, a selective inhibitor of PDE3A, to induce relaxation was higher in aortae from GCKO and SMC-GCKO than that in aorta from control animals. These data were corroborated by the effect of milrinone in vivo, which led to an increase in systolic blood pressure in both KO strains but not in control mice. We conclude that NO-GC modulates PDE3A expression and activity in SMC in vivo conceivably to preserve functional cAMP signaling.

Abstract
Background: Rosmarinic acid (RA) is a natural phenol carboxylic acid with many promising biological effects. It may be a suitable candidate for improving obesity-related adipose tissue dysfunction. Objective: We aimed to investigate the therapeutic use of RA as an anti-obesity agent by measuring its effects on adipogenesis, lipolysis, and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of major adipokines in 3T3-L1 adipocytes; and its effects on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) secretion in macrophages and inflammatory mediators in 3T3-L1 adipocytes incubated with macrophage-conditioned medium (MCM). Methods: 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were used to explore how RA affects adipogenesis, as well as the involvement of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1/2 (p-ERK1/2) and mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 3 (p-Smad3). 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were also differentiated into mature adipocytes to explore how RA affects basal and isoproterenol- and forskolin-stimulated lipolysis; and how RA affects key adipokines’ mRNA expression. RAW 264.7 macrophages were stimulated with LPS in the absence or presence of RA to explore RA’s effects on TNF-α secretion. MCM was collected and 3T3-L1 adipocytes were incubated with MCM to explore RA’s effects on interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and RANTES mRNA expression. Results: During the preadipocyte differentiation process, RA suppressed peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-α, and activated p-ERK1/2 and p-Smad3; inhibition of adipogenesis by RA was partially restored following treatment with p-ERK1/2 and p-Smad3 inhibitors. In mature adipocytes, RA inhibited basal lipolysis; phosphodiesterase-3 inhibitor reversed this. RA also inhibited isoproterenol- and forskolin-stimulated glycerol and free fatty acid release, and the phosphorylation of hormone-sensitive lipase and perilipin. RA had no effects on leptin, adiponectin, resistin, or visfatin mRNA expression. RA suppressed TNF-α mRNA expression and secretion in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages; and reduced LPS-MCM-induced IL-6, IL-1β, MCP-1, and RANTES mRNA expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Conclusions: RA exerts inhibitory effects on adipogenesis, lipolysis, and inflammation. RA could be a promising natural product for improving adipose mobilization in obesity.

Influence of cell confluence on the cAMP signalling pathway in vascular smooth muscle cells. Cell Signal 2017; 35:118-128. [PMID: 28389413 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2017.03.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2016] [Revised: 03/20/2017] [Accepted: 03/21/2017] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
The influence of cell confluence on the β-adrenoceptor (β-AR)/cAMP/phosphodiesterase (PDE) pathway was investigated in cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RASMCs). Cells were plated either at low density (LD: 3·103cells/cm2) or high density (HD: 3·104cells/cm2) corresponding to non-confluent or confluent cells, respectively, on the day of experiment. β-AR-stimulated cAMP was monitored in real-time using the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based cAMP sensor, Epac2-camps. A brief application (15s) of the β-AR agonist isoprenaline (Iso) induced a typical transient FRET signal, reflecting cAMP production followed by its rapid degradation. The amplitude of this response, which increased with the concentration of Iso (10 or 100nM), was higher in HD than in LD cells, whatever the Iso concentration used. However, activation of adenylyl cyclase by L-858051 (100μM) induced a similar saturating response in both LD and HD cells. A β1-AR antagonist (CGP 20712A, 100nM) reduced the Iso (100nM) response in HD but not LD cells, whereas a β2-AR antagonist (ICI 118,551, 5nM) reduced this response in HD cells and almost abolished it in LD cells. Competitive [125I]-ICYP binding experiments with betaxolol, a β-AR ligand, identified two binding sites in HD cells, corresponding to β1- and β2-ARs with a proportion of 11% and 89%, respectively, but only one binding site in LD cells, corresponding to β2-ARs. Total cAMP-PDE activity (assessed by a radioenzymatic assay) was increased in HD cells compared to LD cells. This increase was associated with a rise in mRNA expression of five cAMP-PDEs subtypes (PDE1A, 3A, 4A, 4B and 7B) in HD cells, and a decrease in basal [cAMP]i (assessed by an EIA assay). PDE4 inhibition with Ro-20-1724 (10μM) strongly prolonged the Iso response in LD and HD cells, whereas PDE3 inhibition with cilostamide (1μM) slightly prolonged Iso response only in LD cells. Interestingly, inhibition of PDE4 unmasked an effect of PDE3 in HD cells. Our results show that in cultured RASMCs, the β-AR/cAMP/PDE signalling pathway is substantially modulated by the cell density. In HD cells, Iso response involves both β1- and β2-AR stimulation and is mainly controlled by PDE4, PDE3 being recruited only after PDE4 inhibition. In LD cells, Iso response involves only β2-AR stimulation and is controlled by PDE4 and to a lower degree by PDE3. This low density state is associated with an absence of membrane expression of the β1-AR, a lower cAMP-PDE activity and a higher basal [cAMP]i. This study highlights the critical role of the cellular environment in controlling the vascular β-AR signalling.

Abstract
The functional integrity of endothelial cells is a marker and a prerequisite for vascular health. It is well established that the endothelium not only modulates, but also mediates vascular disease processes. Certain diseases such as diabetes, dyslipidaemia, obesity, and arterial hypertension advance endothelial injury. The disease process induces cellular and functional changes in endothelial cells leading to a pathophysiological phenomenon referred to as endothelial cell dysfunction, which involves abnormal vasomotion, an imbalance in reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide, the activation of inflammation, and disruption of the coagulation process of the endothelial cells. With this knowledge, it is now known that vascular function plays a central role in the development and progression of heart failure (HF). HF is the primary cause of patient hospitalization. There is a strong desire to intervene and prevent the growing HF epidemic. Over the last decade, numerous therapies have been evaluated but few have led to positive results in the later stages of clinical trials. Efforts are currently being made to understand the pathophysiology of endothelial dysfunction and use this knowledge to identify novel agents or therapeutic targets that will improve the outcome of patients with HF and restore the normal function of the endothelium. The purpose of this review is to present a brief summary of the traditional approaches that have been taken to improve endothelial dysfunction and combat HF and, more importantly, to discuss some novel therapeutic approaches that are still under investigation, including the use of gene therapy and nanocarriers as means of delivering targets to the dysfunctional endothelium as treatment for HF.

Abstract
The effects of exercise training (ExT) on the pressor response elicited by potassium cyanide (KCN) in the rat model of ischemia-induced heart failure (HF) are unknown. We evaluated the effects of ExT on chemoreflex sensitivity and its interaction with baroreflex in rats with HF. Wistar rats were divided into four groups: trained HF (Tr-HF), sedentary HF (Sed-HF), trained sham (Tr-Sham), and sedentary sham (Sed-Sham). Trained animals underwent to a treadmill running protocol for 8 weeks (60 m/day, 5 days/week, 16 m/min). After ExT, arterial pressure (AP), baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), peripheral chemoreflex (KCN: 100 μg/kg body mass), and cardiac function were evaluated. The results demonstrate that ExT induces an improvement in BRS and attenuates the pressor response to KCN relative to the Sed-HF group (P < 0.05). The improvement in BRS was associated with a reduction in the pressor response following ExT in HF rats (P < 0.05). Moreover, ExT induced a reduction in left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and pulmonary congestion compared with the Sed-HF group (P < 0.05). The pressor response to KCN in the hypotensive state is decreased in sedentary HF rats. These results suggest that ExT improves cardiac function and BRS and attenuates the pressor response evoked by KCN in HF rats.

Abstract
Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) degrade the second messengers cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), thereby regulating multiple aspects of cardiac and vascular muscle functions. This highly diverse class of enzymes encoded by 21 genes encompasses 11 families that are not only responsible for the termination of cyclic nucleotide signalling, but are also involved in the generation of dynamic microdomains of cAMP and cGMP, controlling specific cell functions in response to various neurohormonal stimuli. In the myocardium and vascular smooth muscle, the PDE3 and PDE4 families predominate, degrading cAMP and thereby regulating cardiac excitation-contraction coupling and smooth muscle contractile tone. PDE3 inhibitors are positive inotropes and vasodilators in humans, but their use is limited to acute heart failure and intermittent claudication. PDE5 is particularly important for the degradation of cGMP in vascular smooth muscle, and PDE5 inhibitors are used to treat erectile dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension. There is experimental evidence that these PDEs, as well as other PDE families, including PDE1, PDE2 and PDE9, may play important roles in cardiac diseases, such as hypertrophy and heart failure, as well as several vascular diseases. After a brief presentation of the cyclic nucleotide pathways in cardiac and vascular cells, and the major characteristics of the PDE superfamily, this review will focus on the current use of PDE inhibitors in cardiovascular diseases, and the recent research developments that could lead to better exploitation of the therapeutic potential of these enzymes in the future.

Abstract
Although cardiac cytosolic cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) regulates multiple processes, such as beating, contractility, metabolism and apoptosis, little is known yet on the role of this second messenger within cardiac mitochondria. Using cellular and subcellular approaches, we demonstrate here the local expression of several actors of cAMP signaling within cardiac mitochondria, namely a truncated form of soluble AC (sACt) and the exchange protein directly activated by cAMP 1 (Epac1), and show a protective role for sACt against cell death, apoptosis as well as necrosis in primary cardiomyocytes. Upon stimulation with bicarbonate (HCO3(-)) and Ca(2+), sACt produces cAMP, which in turn stimulates oxygen consumption, increases the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) and ATP production. cAMP is rate limiting for matrix Ca(2+) entry via Epac1 and the mitochondrial calcium uniporter and, as a consequence, prevents mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT). The mitochondrial cAMP effects involve neither protein kinase A, Epac2 nor the mitochondrial Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger. In addition, in mitochondria isolated from failing rat hearts, stimulation of the mitochondrial cAMP pathway by HCO3(-) rescued the sensitization of mitochondria to Ca(2+)-induced MPT. Thus, our study identifies a link between mitochondrial cAMP, mitochondrial metabolism and cell death in the heart, which is independent of cytosolic cAMP signaling. Our results might have implications for therapeutic prevention of cell death in cardiac pathologies.

Increased β2-adrenergic vasorelaxation at the early phase of endotoxemic shock in rats. Vascul Pharmacol 2015; 72:181-9. [PMID: 25921926 DOI: 10.1016/j.vph.2015.04.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2014] [Revised: 03/09/2015] [Accepted: 04/20/2015] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The early management of the cardiovascular dysfunction of septic shock is critical as it is associated with a poor outcome. Although the use of catecholamines is a common therapy in this syndrome, no data are available on the involvement of β-adrenoceptor (β-AR) subtypes and only few studies report an alteration of β-adrenergic-induced vasodilation in septic shock. The purpose of the study was to evaluate vascular β1, β2 and β3-AR expression and function in an endotoxemic rat model. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Endotoxemia was induced in rats by intravenous injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). β1, β2 and β3-AR mRNA expression was evaluated by RT-PCR in aorta and vascular β1, β2 and β3-AR responses were determined on conducting (aorta) and/or resistance (mesenteric and renal) arteries by constructing relaxation curves in response to different β-AR agonists. RESULTS The maximal effect of isoproterenol decreased by 31 to 61% in the three vascular beds of LPS-treated rats compared to controls. In aortas from LPS-treated rats, β1 and β3-AR mRNA expression was decreased and associated to a reduced β1 and β3-induced vasodilation. Conversely, albeit β2-AR mRNA was unchanged, the maximal β2-AR-induced vasodilation increased by 49% in aortas from LPS-treated rats compared to controls. This increase was not affected by endothelium removal but was abolished in the presence of a β2-AR antagonist or an adenylate cyclase inhibitor. CONCLUSIONS In endotoxemia, β2-AR vasodilation was increased by a potential recruitment of β2-AR located on smooth muscle cells. This study suggests that vascular β2-AR should be a putative new therapeutic target in septic shock.
