چکیده
beta-Adrenergic signaling via cAMP generation and PKA activation mediates the positive inotropic effect of catecholamines on heart cells. Given the large diversity of protein kinase A targets within cardiac cells, a precisely regulated and confined activity of such signaling pathway is essential for specificity of response. Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are the only route for degrading cAMP and are thus poised to regulate intracellular cAMP gradients. Their spatial confinement to discrete compartments and functional coupling to individual receptors provides an efficient way to control local [cAMP]i in a stimulus-specific manner. By performing real-time imaging of cyclic nucleotides in living ventriculocytes we identify a prominent role of PDE2 in selectively shaping the cAMP response to catecholamines via a pathway involving beta3-adrenergic receptors, NO generation and cGMP production. In cardiac myocytes, PDE2, being tightly coupled to the pool of adenylyl cyclases activated by beta-adrenergic receptor stimulation, coordinates cGMP and cAMP signaling in a novel feedback control loop of the beta-adrenergic pathway. In this, activation of beta3-adrenergic receptors counteracts cAMP generation obtained via stimulation of beta1/beta2-adrenoceptors. Our study illustrates the key role of compartmentalized PDE2 in the control of catecholamine-generated cAMP and furthers our understanding of localized cAMP signaling.

Compartmentalization of cardiac beta-adrenergic inotropy modulation by phosphodiesterase type 5.
BACKGROUND Recent cell-based studies have found that cGMP synthesis and hydrolysis by phosphodiesterase (PDE) appear compartmentalized, with nitric oxide synthase-derived and/or PDE type 5 (PDE-5)-hydrolyzable cGMP undetected at the sarcolemmal membrane in contrast to cGMP stimulated by natriuretic peptide. In the present study, we determine the functional significance of such compartments with...
متن کاملPositive inotropic and lusitropic effects of HNO/NO- in failing hearts: independence from beta-adrenergic signaling.
Nitroxyl anion (HNONO(-)), the one-electron reduced form of nitric oxide (NO), induces positive cardiac inotropy and selective venodilation in the normal in vivo circulation. Here we tested whether HNO/NO(-) augments systolic and diastolic function of failing hearts, and whether contrary to NO/nitrates such modulation enhances rather than blunts beta-adrenergic stimulation and is accompanied by...
متن کاملcGMP catabolism by phosphodiesterase 5A regulates cardiac adrenergic stimulation by NOS3-dependent mechanism.
Beta-adrenergic agonists stimulate cardiac contractility and simultaneously blunt this response by coactivating NO synthase (NOS3) to enhance cGMP synthesis and activate protein kinase G (PKG-1). cGMP is also catabolically regulated by phosphodiesterase 5A (PDE5A). PDE5A inhibition by sildenafil (Viagra) increases cGMP and is used widely to treat erectile dysfunction; however, its role in the h...
متن کاملChemotherapeutic efficacy of phosphodiesterase inhibitors in chagasic cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND Chagasic cardiomyopathy (CCM) caused by Trypanosoma cruzi (Tc) infection is prevalent in Latin America and recognized as an emerging infectious heart disease in the US. The NO-cGMP-PKG1α pathway maintains cardiac homeostasis and inotropy and may be disturbed due to phosphodiesterase (PDE5) mediated cGMP catabolism in CCM. METHODS AND RESULTS C57BL/6 mice were infected with Tc, and ...
متن کاملSildenafil increases the force of right atrial contractions in vitro via the NO-guanylyl cyclase pathway involving β-adrenoceptor linked mechanisms.
Sildenafil, a drug used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction, is a phosphodiesterase 5A inhibitor that increases cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels. In addition to its vascular actions, sildenafil is also known to alter cardiac functions. This study was undertaken to elucidate the effect of sildenafil on cardiac contractility and the underlying mechanisms. The experiments were con...
