266 Metoprolol induces cardiac beta-3 adrenergic receptor and Sphingosine 1 phosphate receptor 1 signals to prevent adverse Left-ventricle remodeling and dysfunction after myocardial infarction {#article-title-2} Background: β-adrenergic receptor (AR)-blockers are fore-front therapies against myocardial infarction (MI)-induced and other forms of heart failure (HF). Mechanisms accounting for these beneficial effects remain however only partially understood. In particular, due to the difference in receptor targeting and to the great variability in human HF-patients response, the specific mechanism of action of β-blockers is still under investigation. We have recently demonstrated, in an animal model of HF, that a reciprocal down-regulation occurs between β1AR and the cardioprotective sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor-1 (S1PR1). Purpose: Hence, we hypothesize that, in addition to salutary actions due to direct β1AR blockade, agents such as metoprolol improve post-MI structural and functional outcome via restored protective S1PR1 signal, and we sought to determine mechanisms accounting for this effect. Methods and Results: In HEK293 cells and in in vitro cardiomyocytes, metoprolol (Meto) prevented isoproterenol (βAR agonist)-dependent S1PR1 down-regulation. Treatment of infarcted mice with Meto or S1P (one week after MI for 3 weeks) markedly ameliorated cardiac function and prevented remodeling, while preserving cardiac plasma membrane S1PR1 whose levels were down-regulated in untreated MI mice. Next, we co-infused infarcted mice with S1P and Meto, and found no additional beneficial effects. Since previous evidence attests that Meto can increase cardiac β3ARs levels and activity, and this receptor in adypocytes is responsible for S1P secretion, we measured basal and Meto-stimulated cardiac Sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1), the enzyme responsible for S1P secretion, and circulating S1P levels in β3AR KO mice. These animals displayed markedly reduced levels of both, not rescued by Meto. Importantly, the β1AR blocker did not ameliorate post-MI dysfunction in β3AR KO mice. Conclusions: β1-blockers enhance β3AR-signaling, promoting the secretion of S1P that, in turn, activates the S1PR1 signalling. These signalling interactions represent a previously unrecognized mechanism whereby βAR blockers prevent post-MI decompensation and adverse remodelling. # 267 PDE8 is a novel regulator of cAMP signaling in human atrial fibrillation {#article-title-3} Purpose: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with reduced L-type Ca2+ current (ICa,L) and altered cAMP-dependent signalling. Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) degrade cAMP and regulate cAMP-mediated PKA-dependent phosphorylation of various proteins, including ICa,L channel subunits. PDE1-4 are the main PDE isozymes hydrolyzing cAMP in heart, but recent studies demonstrate the existence of a novel isoform PDE8 in ventricle. Here we assess the expression and localization of PDE8 in human atria of patients with sinus rhythm (SR), paroxysmal AF (pAF) and longstanding persistent (chronic) AF (cAF). Methods: mRNA (RT-qPCR) and protein (Western blot) levels of PDE8A and PDE8B isoforms were assessed in right atria of SR, pAF and cAF patients. Localization of PDE8A and PDE8B in human atrial cardiomyocytes was determined by immunofluorescence. Protein-protein interaction between ICa,L α1C channel subunit and PDE8B was studied by co-immunoprecipitation in the three rhythm groups. Results: PDE8 mRNA is present in human atrium and increases in both types of AF (Δct SR=0.84±0.03 n=15 vs pAF=1.03±0.03 n=8 and cAF =1.06±0.05 n=8, p

We have previously reported that antipeptide antibodies directed against the second extracellular loop of the cardiac h5-HT4 receptor could block the activation of the L-type Ca channel in human atrial cardiomyocytes. In this paper we investigate the immunological and physiological activity of these antibodies, in a cell system expressing a larger amount of receptors than the atrial cells. The recombinant receptor was expressed at the surface of COS-7 cells under an active form (serotonin, EC50 = 1.81 x 10(-7) M), at a high level (375 +/- 25 fmol receptor/mg total protein) and was able to bind a specific ligand (GR113808) with a high affinity (Kd = 0.28 +/- 0.05 nM). In this system, the same anti-peptide antibodies used for the cardiac cells induced an "agonist-like" effect on the recombinant h5-HT4 receptor. These results are in line with those shown for others G-protein coupled receptors, as adrenoreceptors. In addition, this work showed that the effect of the antibodies is not only dependent on the epitopic region recognised but also on the molecular density and/or the cellular environment of the target receptors. Finally, our results support the hypothesis that the h5-HT4 receptor could be a new target for autoantibodies in patients with atrial arrhythmia.

180 Noninvasive ultrasound molecular imaging of the effect of atorvastatin on vascular inflammation {#article-title-2} Purpose: Non-invasive assessment of changes in vascular inflammatory activity may be of use in managing medical therapy in patients with atherosclerotic disease and for developing new candidate therapies. We hypothesized that molecular imaging of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) expression with contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEU) could be used to assess the effects of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors on vascular inflammation. Methods: Mice deficient for the LDL-receptor and Apobec-1 editing protein that develop atherosclerosis in a time-dependent fashion were studied. Beginning at 12 weeks of age, mice received 8 weeks of either regular chow (n=10) or chow containing atorvastatin (0.01% wt/wt; n=12). At 20 weeks of age, CEU molecular imaging of the ascending aorta was performed after I.V. injection of VCAM-1-targeted (MBV) and control microbubbles (MBC).High frequency transthoracic ultrasound imaging (40MHz) was used for noninvasive assessment of plaque burden by measuring aortic wall thickness. Plasma levels of total cholesterol and LDL+VLDL cholesterol were measured. Histology with Movat's pentachrome was used to quantify plaque burden. Fluorescence immunohistology and Western blot was used to localize and quantify VCAM-1 expression in the aortic wall. Results: Atorvastatin treatment lowered plasma LDL+VLDL cholesterol levels by 20% in statin-treated animals vs control animals (189.1mg/dl vs 233 mg/dl, p=0.03). On histology, plaque burden was reduced by 61% in statin treated animals (3.7% of luminal area vs 9.2%, p

Among the five human 5-HT(4) (h5-HT(4)) receptor isoforms, the h5-HT(4(a)) receptor was studied with a particular emphasis on the molecular interactions involved in ligand binding. For this purpose, we used site-directed mutagenesis of the transmembrane domain. Twelve mutants were constructed with a special focus on the residue P4.53 of helix IV which substitutes in h5-HT(4) receptors the highly conserved S residue among the rhodopsin family receptors. The mutated receptors were transiently expressed in COS-7 cells. Ligand binding or competition studies with two h5-HT(4) receptor agonists, serotonin and ML10302 and two h5-HT(4) receptor antagonists, [(3)H]-GR113808 and ML10375 were performed on wild type and mutant receptors. Functional activity of the receptors was evaluated by measuring the ability of serotonin to stimulate adenylyl cyclase. Ligand binding experiments revealed that [(3)H]-GR113808 did not bind to mutants P4.53A, S5.43A, F6.51A, Y7.43A and to double mutant F6.52V/N6.55L. On the other hand mutations D3.32N, S5.43A and Y7.43A appeared to promote a dramatic decrease of h5-HT(4(a)) receptor functional activity. From these studies, S5.43 and Y7.43 clearly emerged as common anchoring sites to antagonist [(3)H]-GR113808 and to serotonin. According to these results, we propose ligand-receptor complex models with serotonin and [(3)H]-GR113808. For serotonin, three interaction points were selected including ionic interaction with D3.32, a stabilizing interaction of this ion pair by Y7.43 and a hydrogen bond with S5.43. [(3)H]-GR113808 was also docked, based on the same type of interactions with S5.43 and D3.32: the proposed model suggested a possible role of P4.53 in helix IV structure allowing the involvement of a close hydrophobic residue, W4.50, in a hydrophobic pocket for hydrophobic interactions with the indole ring of [(3)H]-GR113808.

RT - PCR technique was used to clone the human 5-HT(4(e)) receptor (h5-HT(4(e))) from heart atrium. We showed that this h5-HT(4(e)) receptor splice variant is restricted to brain and heart atrium. Recombinant h5-HT(4(e)) receptor was stably expressed in CHO and C6-glial cell lines at 347 and 88 fmol mg(-1) protein, respectively. Expression of h5-HT(4(e)) receptors at the cell membrane was confirmed by immunoblotting. The receptor binding profile, determined by competition with [(3)H]-GR113808 of a number of 5-HT(4) ligands, was consistent with that previously reported for other 5-HT(4) receptor isoforms. Surprisingly, we found that the rank order of potencies (EC(50)) of 5-HT(4) agonists obtained from adenylyl cyclase functional assays was inversely correlated to their rank order of affinities (K(i)) obtained from binding assays. Furthermore, EC(50) values for 5-HT, renzapride and cisapride were 2 fold lower in C6-glial cells than in CHO cells. ML10302 and renzapride behaved like partial agonists on the h5-HT(4(e)) receptor. These results are in agreement with the reported low efficacy of the these two compounds on L-type Ca(2+) currents and myocyte contractility in human atrium. A constitutive activity of the h5-HT(4(e)) receptor was observed in CHO cells in the absence of any 5-HT(4) ligand and two 5-HT(4) antagonists, GR113808 and ML10375, behaved as inverse agonists. These data show that the h5-HT(4(e)) receptor has a pharmacological profile which is close to the native h5-HT(4) receptor in human atrium with a functional potency which is dependent on the cellular context in which the receptor is expressed.

The effects of several phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors on the L-type Ca current (I(Ca)) and intracellular cyclic AMP concentration ([cAMP]i) were examined in isolated rat ventricular myocytes. The presence of mRNA transcripts encoding for the different cardiac PDE subtypes was confirmed by RT-PCR. IBMX (100 microM), a broad-spectrum PDE inhibitor, increased basal I(Ca) by 120% and [cAMP]i by 70%, similarly to a saturating concentration of the beta-adrenoceptor agonist isoprenaline (1 microM). However, MIMX (1 microM), a PDE1 inhibitor, EHNA (10 microM), a PDE2 inhibitor, cilostamide (0.1 microM), a PDE3 inhibitor, or Ro20-1724 (0.1 microM), a PDE4 inhibitor, had no effect on basal I(Ca) and little stimulatory effects on [cAMP]i (20-30%). Each selective PDE inhibitor was then tested in the presence of another inhibitor to examine whether a concomitant inhibition of two PDE subtypes had any effect on I(Ca) or [cAMP]i. While all combinations tested significantly increased [cAMP]i (40-50%), only cilostamide (0.1 microM)+ Ro20-1724 (0.1 microM) produced a significant stimulation of I(Ca) (50%). Addition of EHNA (10 microM) to this mix increased I(Ca) to 110% and [cAMP]i to 70% above basal, i.e. to similar levels as obtained with IBMX (100 microM) or isoprenaline (1 microM). When tested on top of a sub-maximal concentration of isoprenaline (1 nM), which increased I(Ca) by (approximately 40% and had negligible effect on [cAMP]i, each selective PDE inhibitor induced a clear stimulation of [cAMP]i and an additional increase in I(Ca). Maximal effects on I(Ca) were approximately 8% for MIMX (3 microM), approximately 20% for EHNA (1-3 microM), approximately 30% for cilostamide (0.3-1 microM) and approximately 50% for Ro20-1724 (0.1 microM). Our results demonstrate that PDE1-4 subtypes regulate I(Ca) in rat ventricular myocytes. While PDE3 and PDE4 are the dominant PDE subtypes involved in the regulation of basal I(Ca), all four PDE subtypes determine the response of I(Ca) to a stimulus activating cyclic AMP production, with the rank order of potency PDE4PDE3PDE2PDE1.

1. To investigate the participation of guanylyl cyclase in the muscarinic regulation of the cardiac L-type calcium current (ICa), we examined the effects of three guanylyl cyclase inhibitors, 1H-[1,2,4]oxidiazo-lo[4,3-a]quinoxaline-1-one (ODQ), 6-anilino-5,8-quinolinedione (LY 83583), and methylene blue (MBlue), on the beta-adrenoceptor; muscarinic receptor and nitric oxide (NO) regulation of ICa and on the muscarinic activated potassium current I(K,ACh), in frog atrial and ventricular myocytes. 2. ODQ (10 microM) and LY 83583 (30 microM) antagonized the inhibitory effect of an NO-donor (S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine, SNAP, 1 microM) on the isoprenaline (Iso)-stimulated ICa which was consistent with their inhibitory action on guanylyl cyclase. However, MBlue (30 microM) had no effect under similar conditions. 3. In the absence of SNAP, LY 83583 (30 microM) potentiated the stimulations of ICa by either Iso (20 nM), forskolin (0.2 microM) or intracellular cyclic AMP (5-10 microM). ODQ (10 microM) had no effect under these conditions, while MBlue (30 microM) inhibited the Iso-stimulated ICa. 4. LY 83583 and MBlue, but not ODQ, reduced the inhibitory effect of up to 10 microM acetylcholine (ACh) on ICa. 5. MBlue, but not LY 83583 and ODQ, antagonized the activation of I(K,ACh) by ACh in the presence of intracellular GTP, and this inhibition was weakened when I(K,ACh) was activated by intracellular GTPgammaS. 6. The potentiating effect of LY 83583 on Iso-stimulated ICa was absent in the presence of either DL-dithiothreitol (DTT, 100 microM) or a combination of superoxide dismutase (150 u ml(-1)) and catalase (100 u ml(-1)). 7. All together, our data demonstrate that, among the three compounds tested, only ODQ acts in a manner which is consistent with its inhibitory action on the NO-sensitive guanylyl cyclase. The two other compounds produced severe side effects which may involve superoxide anion generation in the case of LY 83583 and alteration of beta-adrenoceptor and muscarinic receptor-coupling mechanisms in the case of M Blue.

Early studies in whole heart indicated that cGMP antagonized the positive inotropic effects of catecholamines and cAMP. Since the L-type Ca2+ channel current (ICa) plays a predominant role in the initiation and development of cardiac electrical and contractile activities, regulation of ICa by cGMP pathways has received much attention over the last ten years. Patch-clamp measurements of ICa in isolated cardiac myocytes reveal at least three different cGMP effectors that may participate to different degrees in different animal species and cardiac tissues in the regulation of ICa by cGMP. In frog ventricular myocytes, cGMP inhibits ICa by stimulation of a cGMP-stimulated cAMP phosphodiesterase (PDE2), whereas in rat ventricular myocytes, cGMP predominantly inhibits ICa via a mechanism involving activation of a cGMP-dependent protein kinase (cGMP-PK). In guinea pig, frog and human cardiomyocytes, cGMP can also stimulate ICa via an inhibition of a cGMP-inhibited cAMP phosphodiesterase (PDE3). This effect is most predominant in human atrial myocytes and appears readily during an activation of the soluble guanylate cyclase activity by low concentrations of nitric oxide (NO)-donors. Biochemical characterization of the endogenous phosphodiesterases and cGMP-PK in purified cardiac myocytes provide further evidence in support of these mechanisms of cGMP action on ICa. However, the regulation of cGMP levels by a variety of agents is not always consistent with their effects on contractility. In particular, the participation of cGMP and NO pathways in the regulation of cardiac ICa and contractility by acetylcholine is still questionable.

The voltage-gated Ca2+ current (ICa) in cardiac myocytes is regulated by cAMP-dependent phosphorylation. Although the regulation of ICa via mechanisms involving modulation of cAMP synthesis is well understood, the regulation of cAMP degradation has been less thoroughly investigated. The goal of the present study was to investigate the participation of different subclasses of cAMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) in regulating cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of Ca2+ channels in frog ventricular myocytes. Cardiomyocytes were isolated enzymatically and mechanically and were patch-clamped using the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique. The effects of various low-Km cAMP PDE inhibitors on ICa were examined. None of the inhibitors tested [milrinone, indolidan, 1-methyl 3-isobutyl xanthine (MIX), rolipram, or Ro 20-1724] were able to elevate ICa in the absence of elevated cAMP, although they all increased ICa in the presence of submaximal levels of cAMP. This result suggests that these compounds do not act directly on Ca2+ channels but rather modulate cAMP degradation. Half-maximal effects were observed with 1.4 microM milrinone and 3.4 microM MIX. Milrinone was effective when applied from either the extracellular or intracellular surface, whereas MIX was effective only when applied from the extracellular solution. In the presence of internal cGMP, which stimulates the cGMP-stimulated PDE, the low-Km cAMP PDE inhibitors had no effect on ICa, whereas high concentrations of MIX, which inhibit the cGMP-stimulated PDE, increased ICa. This would support the hypothesis that cGMP-stimulated PDE either has a much stronger capacity to hydrolyze cAMP or is more efficiently coupled to Ca2+ channels than the low-Km cAMP PDEs.

- Abstract
The whole-cell patch-clamp and intracellular perfusion techniques were used for studying the effects of a beta-2 adrenergic receptor activation on the L-type Ca current (ICa) in frog ventricular myocytes. The beta-2 adrenergic agonist zinterol increased ICa in a concentration-dependent manner with an EC50 (i.e., the concentration of zinterol at which the response was 50% of the maximum) of 2.2 nM. The effect of zinterol was essentially independent of the membrane potential. The stimulatory effect of zinterol was competitively antagonized by ICI 118,551, a beta-2 adrenergic antagonist. The maximal stimulatory effect of zinterol was comparable in amplitude to the effect of a saturating concentration (1 or 10 microM) of isoprenaline, a nonselective beta adrenergic agonist. Moreover, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (100 microM), a nonselective phosphodiesterase inhibitor, or forskolin (10 microM), a direct activator of adenylyl cyclase, had no additive effects in the presence of 0.1 microM zinterol. Zinterol had a long lasting action on frog ICa because after washout of the drug, ICa returned to basal level with a time constant of 17 min. An application of acetylcholine (1 microM) during this recovery phase promptly reduced ICa back to its basal level suggesting a persistent activation of adenylyl cyclase due to a slow dissociation rate constant of zinterol from its receptor. Zinterol also increased ICa in rat ventricular and human atrial myocytes, and the maximal effect was obtained at 10 and 1 microM, respectively. In all three preparations, intracellular perfusion with 20 microM PKI(15-22), a highly selective peptide inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, completely antagonized the stimulatory effect of zinterol on ICa. We conclude that beta-2 adrenergic receptor activation produces a strong increase in ICa in frog, rat and human cardiac myocytes which is due to stimulation of adenylyl cyclase and activation of cAMP-dependent phosphorylation.

- Abstract
We studied the mechanism of action of methylene blue (Mblue), a putative guanylyl cyclase inhibitor, on the L-type calcium current (ICa) and the muscarinic activated K+ current (IK,ACh) in rat ventricular and atrial myocytes, respectively, and on the binding of [3H]quinuclidinyl benzylate in rat ventricular membranes. Superfusion, but not internal dialysis, with 30 microM Mblue antagonized the inhibitory effect of acetylcholine (ACh, 1 microM) on beta-adrenergic stimulation of ICa with isoprenaline (Iso, 10 nM or 1 microM). However, Mblue had no effect on the basal ICa or on the stimulation of ICa by Iso in the absence of ACh. The activation of IK,ACh by 3 microM ACh was also antagonized by Mblue in a dose-dependent manner. In contrast, Mblue had no effect on the activation of IK,ACh by either guanosine-5'-O-(3-thio)triphosphate or guanosine-5'-(beta,gamma-imido)triphosphate. Chlorpromazine (CPZ), a piperazine derivative like Mblue, also inhibited the muscarinic activation of IK,ACh in a dose-dependent manner. The specific binding of [3H]QNB, a muscarinic ligand, to rat ventricular membranes was displaced in a dose-dependent manner by Mblue and CPZ. The piperazine derivatives behaved like competitive antagonists of [3H]QNB binding, exhibiting equilibrium dissociation constant (Ki) values of 187 nM for Mblue and 366 nM for CPZ. In conclusion, Mblue exerts antimuscarinic effects on ICa and IK,ACh in rat cardiac myocytes that are best explained by the binding of Mblue to the M2 subtype of muscarinic receptors. This property probably contributes to the antimuscarinic effect of the putative guanylyl cyclase inhibitor reported in previous studies.

1. The effects of the current (iex) generated by the Na-Ca exchange mechanism have been investigated on the electrical activity of a cardiac cell using the model of MC ALLISTER et al. (1975) for the Purkinje fibre action potential (AP). 2. The reversal potential and the steady-state value of iex were described by the same equations as for the squid axon (MULLINS, 1976). The maximal intensity and the time constant of iex were extrapolated from experiments using frog hearts. 3. A compact program written with the Adams method in Fortran IV (PLANT, 1979) allowed a minicomputer to be used. 4. The addition of iex to the previous model induced a prolongation of the AP and a reduction of the duration of the diastolic phase. 5. Increasing the maximal steady-state amplitude of iex may lead to early after depolarizations and oscillatory behaviour. These effects can be prevented by adequate changes in the amplitude of some potassium outward currents. 6. It is concluded that : (i) alterations of the Na-Ca exchange, e.g., by cellular Na loading, should induce variations of both AP repolarization and diastolic phase durations and, consequently, alter the beating rate ; (ii) iex could interfere with the outward currents whose characteristics should be reconsidered.

The effect of extracellular and intracellular application of forskolin on the voltage-sensitive calcium current, ICa, was studied in myocytes isolated from frog ventricle. Myocytes were isolated by enzymatic dissociation, and ICa was measured using the whole-cell configuration of the patch clamp technique modified to permit intracellular perfusion of various substances. Intracellular perfusion with forskolin (0.1 to 10 microM) had a negligible effect on ICa: ICa was increased 15 +/- 13% (mean +/- SE; N = 5). In contrast, superfusion of the cell with forskolin increased ICa significantly. The EC50 for the forskolin effect was 0.4 microM. A maximal 4.5-fold increase in ICa occurred with 3 microM forskolin. This is somewhat less than the maximal response to isoprenaline seen in this same series of experiments. The effects of forskolin, isoprenaline, and intracellular cAMP were not additive. In contrast, the effects of isoprenaline or intracellular cAMP and calcium channel agonists, such as Sandoz (+)202-791, were additive. This supports the hypothesis that the positive inotropic effects of forskolin are at least partly mediated by an increase in intracellular cAMP and a stimulation of ICa. The effects of forskolin were antagonized by acetylcholine (1 microM) or intracellular perfusion with cGMP. Acetylcholine on the average decreased forskolin-stimulated ICa 57 +/- 11% (N = 17). The relevance of these results to the suggestion that acetylcholine acts by mechanisms other than inhibition of adenylate cyclase is discussed.

The effects of extracellular application of cicletanine on the voltage-sensitive calcium current (ICa) was studied in isolated cells from frog ventricle. Myocytes were isolated by enzymatic dissociation and ICa was measured using the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique modified to permit intracellular perfusion with various substances. Cicletanine (10 to 100 microM) had no effect on control ICa. However, when ICa was enhanced by superfusion of the cell with saturating doses of beta-adrenergic agonist (isoprenaline, 2 microM) or by intracellular perfusion with maximal doses of cAMP (20 microM), cicletanine exerted a dual effect on ICa. At 10 microM, cicletanine generally induced a transient or sustained stimulation of ICa (5 to 40%), while 100 microM of the drug generally reduced ICa. The effects of cicletanine were reversible and not voltage-dependent. These results suggest that cicletanine affects ICa by acting on a mechanism occurring after cAMP synthesis, by enhancing cAMP concentration (e.g. through an inhibition of cAMP phosphodiesterase) or facilitating cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of the Ca channels.

- Abstract
Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) modulate neurohormonal regulation of cardiac function by degrading cAMP and cGMP. In cardiomyocytes, multiple isoforms of PDEs with different enzymatic properties and subcellular locally regulate cyclic nucleotide levels and associated cellular functions. This organisation is severely disrupted during hypertrophy and heart failure (HF), which may contribute to disease progression. Clinically, PDE inhibition has been seen as a promising approach to compensate for the catecholamine desensitisation that accompanies heart failure. Although PDE3 inhibitors such as milrinone or enoximone can be used clinically to improve systolic function and relieve the symptoms of acute CHF, their chronic use has proved detrimental. Other PDEs, such as PDE1, PDE2, PDE4, PDE5, PDE9 and PDE10, have emerged as potential new targets for the treatment of HF, each with a unique role in local cyclic nucleotide signalling pathways. In this review, we describe cAMP and cGMP signalling in cardiomyocytes and present the different families of PDEs expressed in the heart and their modifications in pathological cardiac hypertrophy and HF. We also review results from preclinical models and clinical data indicating the use of specific PDE inhibitors or activators that may have therapeutic potential in CI., (© 2024 médecine/sciences – Inserm.)

- Abstract
Anthracyclines, such as doxorubicin (Dox), are widely used chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. However, they frequently induce cardiotoxicity leading to dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure. This study sought to investigate the role of the exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (EPAC) in Dox-induced cardiotoxicity and the potential cardioprotective effects of EPAC inhibition. We show that Dox induces DNA damage and cardiomyocyte cell death with apoptotic features. Dox also led to an increase in both cAMP concentration and EPAC1 activity. The pharmacological inhibition of EPAC1 (with CE3F4) but not EPAC2 alleviated the whole Dox-induced pattern of alterations. When administered in vivo , Dox-treated WT mice developed a dilated cardiomyopathy which was totally prevented in EPAC1 knock-out (KO) mice. Moreover, EPAC1 inhibition potentiated Dox-induced cell death in several human cancer cell lines. Thus, EPAC1 inhibition appears as a potential therapeutic strategy to limit Dox-induced cardiomyopathy without interfering with its antitumoral activity., Competing Interests: MM, AB, MR, DD, AL, ML, TB, PM, MG, FL, JC, CB, CR, FL, BC, JB, MV, RF, AG, CL, EM No competing interests declared, (© 2023, Mazevet et al.)

- Abstract
EPAC1, a cAMP-activated GEF for Rap GTPases, is a major transducer of cAMP signaling and a therapeutic target in cardiac diseases. The recent discovery that cAMP is compartmentalized in membrane-proximal nanodomains challenged the current model of EPAC1 activation in the cytosol. Here, we discover that anionic membranes are a major component of EPAC1 activation. We find that anionic membranes activate EPAC1 independently of cAMP, increase its affinity for cAMP by two orders of magnitude, and synergize with cAMP to yield maximal GEF activity. In the cell cytosol, where cAMP concentration is low, EPAC1 must thus be primed by membranes to bind cAMP. Examination of the cell-active chemical CE3F4 in this framework further reveals that it targets only fully activated EPAC1. Together, our findings reformulate previous concepts of cAMP signaling through EPAC proteins, with important implications for drug discovery., (© 2023. The Author(s).)

- 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., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier B.V.

- Abstract
Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) modulate the neurohormonal regulation of cardiac function by degrading cAMP and cGMP. In cardiomyocytes, multiple PDE isozymes with different enzymatic properties and subcellular localization regulate local pools of cyclic nucleotides and specific functions. This organization is heavily perturbed during cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure (HF), which can contribute to disease progression. Clinically, PDE inhibition has been considered a promising approach to compensate for the catecholamine desensitization that accompanies HF. Although PDE3 inhibitors, such as milrinone or enoximone, have been used clinically to improve systolic function and alleviate the symptoms of acute HF, their chronic use has proved to be detrimental. Other PDEs, such as PDE1, PDE2, PDE4, PDE5, PDE9 and PDE10, have emerged as new potential targets to treat HF, each having a unique role in local cyclic nucleotide signalling pathways. In this Review, we describe cAMP and cGMP signalling in cardiomyocytes and present the various PDE families expressed in the heart as well as their modifications in pathological cardiac hypertrophy and HF. We also appraise the evidence from preclinical models as well as clinical data pointing to the use of inhibitors or activators of specific PDEs that could have therapeutic potential in HF., (© 2022.

- Abstract
Mechanism-based therapy centred on the molecular understanding of disease-causing pathways in a given patient is still the exception rather than the rule in medicine, even in cardiology. However, recent successful drug developments centred around the second messenger cyclic guanosine-3'-5'-monophosphate (cGMP), which is regulating a number of cardiovascular disease modulating pathways, are about to provide novel targets for such a personalized cardiovascular therapy. Whether cGMP breakdown is inhibited or cGMP synthesis is stimulated via guanylyl cyclases or their upstream regulators in different cardiovascular disease phenotypes, the outcomes seem to be so far uniformly protective. Thus, a network of cGMP-modulating drugs has evolved that act in a mechanism-based, possibly causal manner in a number of cardiac conditions. What remains a challenge is the detection of cGMPopathy endotypes amongst cardiovascular disease phenotypes. Here, we review the growing clinical relevance of cGMP and provide a glimpse into the future on how drugs interfering with this pathway may change how we treat and diagnose cardiovascular diseases altogether., (© The Author(s) 2021.

- Abstract
The sinoatrial node (SAN) is the natural pacemaker of the heart, producing the electrical impulse that initiates every heart beat. Its activity is tightly controlled by the autonomic nervous system, and by circulating and locally released factors. Neurohumoral regulation of heart rate plays a crucial role in the integration of vital functions and influences behavior and ability to respond to changing environmental conditions. At the cellular level, modulation of SAN activity occurs through intracellular signaling pathways involving cyclic nucleotides: cyclic AMP (cAMP) and cyclic GMP (cGMP). In this Review, dedicated to Professor Dario DiFrancesco and his accomplishements in the field of cardiac pacemaking, we summarize all findings on the role of cyclic nucleotides signaling in regulating the key actors of cardiac automatism, and we provide an up-to-date review on cAMP- and cGMP-phosphodiesterases (PDEs), compellingly involved in this modulation., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The Authors declare no conflicts of interest., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Ltd.

- Abstract
Aim: To obtain a quantitative expression profile of the main genes involved in the cAMP-signaling cascade in human control atria and in different cardiac pathologies., Methods and Results: Expression of 48 target genes playing a relevant role in the cAMP-signaling cascade was assessed by RT-qPCR. 113 samples were obtained from right atrial appendages (RAA) of patients in sinus rhythm (SR) with or without atrium dilation, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), persistent AF or heart failure (HF); and left atrial appendages (LAA) from patients in SR or with AF. Our results show that right and left atrial appendages in donor hearts or from SR patients have similar expression values except for AC7 and PDE2A. Despite the enormous chamber-dependent variability in the gene-expression changes between pathologies, several distinguishable patterns could be identified. PDE8A, PI3Kγ and EPAC2 were upregulated in AF. Different phosphodiesterase (PDE) families showed specific pathology-dependent changes., Conclusion: By comparing mRNA-expression patterns of the cAMP-signaling cascade related genes in right and left atrial appendages of human hearts and across different pathologies, we show that 1) gene expression is not significantly affected by cardioplegic solution content, 2) it is appropriate to use SR atrial samples as controls, and 3) many genes in the cAMP-signaling cascade are affected in AF and HF but only few of them appear to be chamber (right or left) specific., Topic: Genetic changes in human diseased atria., Translational Perspective: The cyclic AMP signaling pathway is important for atrial function. However, expression patterns of the genes involved in the atria of healthy and diseased hearts are still unclear. We give here a general overview of how different pathologies affect the expression of key genes in the cAMP signaling pathway in human right and left atria appendages. Our study may help identifying new genes of interest as potential therapeutic targets or clinical biomarkers for these pathologies and could serve as a guide in future gene therapy studies., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Ltd.

- 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 Ca
2+ 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., (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Ltd.

- Abstract
The concentration of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) rises progressively in renal failure (RF). High FGF23 concentrations have been consistently associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes or death, in chronic kidney disease (CKD), heart failure or liver cirrhosis. We identified the mechanisms whereby high concentrations of FGF23 can increase the risk of death of cardiovascular origin. We studied the effects of FGF23 and Klotho in adult rat ventricular cardiomyocytes (ARVMs) and on the heart of mice with CKD. We show that FGF23 increases the frequency of spontaneous calcium waves (SCWs), a marker of cardiomyocyte arrhythmogenicity, in ARVMs. FGF23 increased sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca
2+ leakage, basal phosphorylation of Ca2+ -cycling proteins including phospholamban and ryanodine receptor type 2. These effects are secondary to a decrease in phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B) in ARVMs and in heart of mice with RF. Soluble Klotho, a circulating form of the FGF23 receptor, prevents FGF23 effects on ARVMs by increasing PDE3A and PDE3B expression. Our results suggest that the combination of high FGF23 and low sKlotho concentrations decreases PDE activity in ARVMs, which favors the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias and may participate in the high death rate observed in patients with CKD.- Published

- Abstract
Background: The cyclic AMP (adenosine monophosphate; cAMP)-hydrolyzing protein PDE4B (phosphodiesterase 4B) is a key negative regulator of cardiac β-adrenergic receptor stimulation. PDE4B deficiency leads to abnormal Ca
2+ handling and PDE4B is decreased in pressure overload hypertrophy, suggesting that increasing PDE4B in the heart is beneficial in heart failure., Methods: We measured PDE4B expression in human cardiac tissues and developed 2 transgenic mouse lines with cardiomyocyte-specific overexpression of PDE4B and an adeno-associated virus serotype 9 encoding PDE4B. Myocardial structure and function were evaluated by echocardiography, ECG, and in Langendorff-perfused hearts. Also, cAMP and PKA (cAMP dependent protein kinase) activity were monitored by Förster resonance energy transfer, L-type Ca2+ current by whole-cell patch-clamp, and cardiomyocyte shortening and Ca2+ transients with an Ionoptix system. Heart failure was induced by 2 weeks infusion of isoproterenol or transverse aortic constriction. Cardiac remodeling was evaluated by serial echocardiography, morphometric analysis, and histology., Results: PDE4B protein was decreased in human failing hearts. The first PDE4B-transgenic mouse line (TG15) had a ≈15-fold increase in cardiac cAMP-PDE activity and a ≈30% decrease in cAMP content and fractional shortening associated with a mild cardiac hypertrophy that resorbed with age. Basal ex vivo myocardial function was unchanged, but β-adrenergic receptor stimulation of cardiac inotropy, cAMP, PKA, L-type Ca2+ current, Ca2+ transients, and cell contraction were blunted. Endurance capacity and life expectancy were normal. Moreover, these mice were protected from systolic dysfunction, hypertrophy, lung congestion, and fibrosis induced by chronic isoproterenol treatment. In the second PDE4B-transgenic mouse line (TG50), markedly higher PDE4B overexpression, resulting in a ≈50-fold increase in cardiac cAMP-PDE activity caused a ≈50% decrease in fractional shortening, hypertrophy, dilatation, and premature death. In contrast, mice injected with adeno-associated virus serotype 9 encoding PDE4B (1012 viral particles/mouse) had a ≈50% increase in cardiac cAMP-PDE activity, which did not modify basal cardiac function but efficiently prevented systolic dysfunction, apoptosis, and fibrosis, while attenuating hypertrophy induced by chronic isoproterenol infusion. Similarly, adeno-associated virus serotype 9 encoding PDE4B slowed contractile deterioration, attenuated hypertrophy and lung congestion, and prevented apoptosis and fibrotic remodeling in transverse aortic constriction., Conclusions: Our results indicate that a moderate increase in PDE4B is cardioprotective and suggest that cardiac gene therapy with PDE4B might constitute a new promising approach to treat heart failure.- Published

- Abstract
Numerous mediators and drugs regulate blood flow or arterial pressure by acting on vascular tone, involving cyclic nucleotide intracellular pathways. These signals lead to regulation of several cellular effectors, including ion channels that tune cell membrane potential, Ca
2+ influx and vascular tone. The characterization of these vasocontrictive or vasodilating mechanisms has grown in complexity due to i) the variety of ion channels that are expressed in both vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells, ii) the heterogeneity of responses among the various vascular beds, and iii) the number of molecular mechanisms involved in cyclic nucleotide signalling in health and disease. This review synthesizes key data from literature that highlight ion channels as physiologically relevant effectors of cyclic nucleotide pathways in the vasculature, including the characterization of the molecular mechanisms involved. In smooth muscle cells, cation influx or chloride efflux through ion channels are associated with vasoconstriction, whereas K+ efflux repolarizes the cell membrane potential and mediates vasodilatation. Both categories of ion currents are under the influence of cAMP and cGMP pathways. Evidence that some ion channels are influenced by CN signalling in endothelial cells will also be presented. Emphasis will also be put on recent data touching a variety of determinants such as phosphodiesterases, EPAC and kinase anchoring, that complicate or even challenge former paradigms., (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
Acute heart failure (HF) and in particular, cardiogenic shock are associated with high morbidity and mortality. A therapeutic dilemma is that the use of positive inotropic agents, such as catecholamines or phosphodiesterase-inhibitors, is associated with increased mortality. Newer drugs, such as levosimendan or omecamtiv mecarbil, target sarcomeres to improve systolic function putatively without elevating intracellular Ca2+. Although meta-analyses of smaller trials suggested that levosimendan is associated with a better outcome than dobutamine, larger comparative trials failed to confirm this observation. For omecamtiv mecarbil, Phase II clinical trials suggest a favourable haemodynamic profile in patients with acute and chronic HF, and a Phase III morbidity/mortality trial in patients with chronic HF has recently begun. Here, we review the pathophysiological basis of systolic dysfunction in patients with HF and the mechanisms through which different inotropic agents improve cardiac function. Since adenosine triphosphate and reactive oxygen species production in mitochondria are intimately linked to the processes of excitation-contraction coupling, we also discuss the impact of inotropic agents on mitochondrial bioenergetics and redox regulation. Therefore, this position paper should help identify novel targets for treatments that could not only safely improve systolic and diastolic function acutely, but potentially also myocardial structure and function over a longer-term., (Published on behalf of the European Society of Cardiology.

- Abstract
Aims: Increase of cardiac cAMP bioavailability and PKA activity through adenylyl-cyclase 8 (AC8) overexpression enhances contractile function in young transgenic mice (AC8TG). Ageing is associated with decline of cardiac contraction partly by the desensitization of β-adrenergic/cAMP signalling. Our objective was to evaluate cardiac cAMP signalling as age increases between 2 months and 12 months and to explore whether increasing the bioavailability of cAMP by overexpression of AC8 could prevent cardiac dysfunction related to age., Methods and Results: Cardiac cAMP pathway and contractile function were evaluated in AC8TG and their non-transgenic littermates (NTG) at 2- and 12 months old. AC8TG demonstrated increased AC8, PDE1, 3B and 4D expression at both ages, resulting in increased phosphodiesterase and PKA activity, and increased phosphorylation of several PKA targets including sarco(endo)plasmic-reticulum-calcium-ATPase (SERCA2a) cofactor phospholamban (PLN) and GSK3α/β a main regulator of hypertrophic growth and ageing. Confocal immunofluorescence revealed that the major phospho-PKA substrates were co-localized with Z-line in 2-month-old NTG but with Z-line interspace in AC8TG, confirming the increase of PKA activity in the compartment of PLN/SERCA2a. In both 12-month-old NTG and AC8TG, PLN and GSK3α/β phosphorylation was increased together with main localization of phospho-PKA substrates in Z-line interspaces. Haemodynamics demonstrated an increased contractile function in 2- and 12-month-old AC8TG, but not in NTG. In contrast, echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) performed in conscious mice unmasked myocardial dysfunction with a decrease of systolic strain rate in both old AC8TG and NTG. In AC8TG TDI showed a reduced strain rate even in 2-month-old animals. Development of age-related cardiac dysfunction was accelerated in AC8TG, leading to heart failure (HF) and premature death. Histological analysis confirmed early cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and interstitial fibrosis in AC8TG when compared with NTG., Conclusion: Our data demonstrated an early and accelerated cardiac remodelling in AC8TG mice, leading to the development of HF and reduced lifespan. Age-related reorganization of cAMP/PKA signalling can accelerate cardiac ageing, partly through GSK3α/β phosphorylation., (Published on behalf of the European Society of Cardiology.

- Abstract
Aims: Cyclic AMP phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are important modulators of the cardiac response to β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) stimulation. PDE3 is classically considered as the major cardiac PDE in large mammals and human, while PDE4 is preponderant in rodents. However, it remains unclear whether PDE4 also plays a functional role in large mammals. Our purpose was to understand the role of PDE4 in cAMP hydrolysis and excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) in the pig heart, a relevant pre-clinical model., Methods and Results: Real-time cAMP variations were measured in isolated adult pig right ventricular myocytes (APVMs) using a Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) biosensor. ECC was investigated in APVMs loaded with Fura-2 and paced at 1 Hz allowing simultaneous measurement of intracellular Ca
2+ and sarcomere shortening. The expression of the different PDE4 subfamilies was assessed by Western blot in pig right ventricles and APVMs. Similarly to PDE3 inhibition with cilostamide (Cil), PDE4 inhibition with Ro 20-1724 (Ro) increased cAMP levels and inotropy under basal conditions. PDE4 inhibition enhanced the effects of the non-selective β-AR agonist isoprenaline (Iso) and the effects of Cil, and increased spontaneous diastolic Ca2+ waves (SCWs) in these conditions. PDE3A, PDE4A, PDE4B and PDE4D subfamilies are expressed in pig ventricles. In APVMs isolated from a porcine model of repaired tetralogy of Fallot which leads to right ventricular failure, PDE4 inhibition also exerts inotropic and pro-arrhythmic effects., Conclusions: Our results show that PDE4 controls ECC in APVMs and suggest that PDE4 inhibitors exert inotropic and pro-arrhythmic effects upon PDE3 inhibition or β-AR stimulation in our pre-clinical model. Thus, PDE4 inhibitors should be used with caution in clinics as they may lead to arrhythmogenic events upon stress., (Copyright © 2019. Published by Elsevier Ltd.)- Published

New Findings: What is the central question of this study? Can imipramine, an antidepressant agent that is a cationic amphiphilic drug that interferes with the phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P
2 ) interactions with proteins maintaining the tubular system, be validated as a new detubulating tool? What is the main finding and its importance? Imipramine was validated as a more efficient and less toxic detubulating agent of cardiomyocytes than formamide. New insights are provided on how PI(4,5)P2 is crucial to maintaining T-tubule attachment to the cell surface and on the cardiotoxic effects of imipramine overdoses., Abstract: Cardiac T-tubules are membrane invaginations essential for excitation-contraction coupling (ECC). Imipramine, like other cationic amphiphilic drugs, interferes with phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2 ) interactions with proteins maintaining the tubular system connected to the cell surface. Our main purpose was to validate imipramine as a new detubulating agent in cardiomyocytes. Staining adult rat ventricular myocytes (ARVMs) with di-4-ANEPPS, we showed that unlike formamide, imipramine induces a complete detubulation with no impact on cell viability. Using the patch-clamp technique, we observed a ∼40% decrease in cell capacitance after imipramine pretreatment and a reduction of ICa,L amplitude by ∼72%. These parameters were not affected in atrial cells, excluding direct side effects of imipramine. β-Adrenergic receptor (β-AR) stimulation of the remaining ICa,L with isoproterenol (Iso) was still effective. ECC was investigated in ARVMs loaded with Fura-2 and paced at 1 Hz, allowing simultaneous measurement of the Ca2+ transient (CaT) and sarcomere shortening (SS). Amplitude of both CaT and SS was decreased by imipramine and partially restored by Iso. Furthermore, detubulated cells exhibited Ca2+ homeostasis perturbations. Real-time cAMP variations induced by Iso using a Förster resonance energy transfer biosensor revealed ∼27% decreased cAMP elevation upon β-AR stimulation. To conclude, we validated a new cardiomyocyte detubulation method using imipramine, which is more efficient and less toxic than formamide. This antidepressant agent induces the hallmark effects of detubulation on ECC and its β-AR stimulation. Besides, we provide new insights on how an imipramine overdose may affect cardiac function and suggest that PI(4,5)P2 is crucial for maintaining T-tubule structure., (© 2019 The Authors.

- Abstract
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) production regulates certain aspects of mitochondria function in rodent cardiomyocytes, such as ATP production, oxygen consumption, calcium import and mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), but how this cAMP pool is controlled is not well known. Here, expression, localization and activity of several cAMP-degrading enzymes, i.e. phosphodiesterases (PDEs), were investigated in isolated rodent cardiac mitochondria. In contrast to the heart ventricle where PDE4 is the major PDE, in cardiac mitochondria, cGMP-stimulated PDE2 activity was largest than PDE3 and PDE4 activities. PDE2 expression was mainly detected in subsarcolemmal mitochondria in association with the inner membrane rather than in interfibrillar mitochondria. PDE2, 3 and 4 activities were further confirmed in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes by real time FRET analysis. In addition, the pharmacological inhibition or the cardiac-specific overexpression of PDE2 modulated mitochondrial membrane potential loss, MPT and calcium import. In mitochondria isolated from PDE2 transgenic mice with a cardiac selective PDE2 overexpression, the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) was significantly lower than in wild-type mice, but stimulated by cGMP. Thus, cAMP degradation by PDEs represents a new regulatory mechanism of mitochondrial function., (Copyright © 2019. Published by Elsevier B.V.)

- 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., (© 2019 The British Pharmacological Society.)- Published

- Abstract
Berries contain bioactive polyphenols, whose capacity to prevent cardiovascular diseases has been established recently in animal models as well in human clinical trials. However, cellular processes and molecular targets of berries polyphenols remain to be identified. The capacity of a polyphenol-enriched diet (i.e., blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberry tree fruits and Portuguese crowberries berries mixture) to promote animal survival and protect cardiovascular function from salt-induced hypertension was evaluated in a chronic salt-sensitive Dahl rat model. The daily consumption of berries improved survival of Dahl/salt-sensitive rats submitted to high-salt diet and normalized their body weight, renal function and blood pressure. In addition, a prophylactic effect was observed at the level of cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction, tissue cohesion and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. Berries also protected the aorta from fibrosis and modulated the expression of aquaporin-1, a channel involved in endothelial water and nitric oxide permeability. Left ventricle proteomics analysis led to the identification of berries and salt metabolites targets, including cystein and glycin-rich protein 3 (CSRP3), a protein involved in myocyte cytoarchitecture. In neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes, CSRP3 was validated as a target of a berries-derived polyphenol metabolite, 4-methylcatechol sulfate, at micromolar concentrations, mimicking physiological conditions of human plasma circulation. Accordingly, siRNA silencing of CSRP3 and 4-methylcatechol sulfate pretreatment reversed cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and CSRP3 overexpression induced by phenylephrine. Our systemic study clearly supports the modulation of CSRP3 by a polyphenol-rich berries diet as an efficient cardioprotective strategy in hypertension-induced heart failure., (Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
Metabolic inhibition is a common condition observed during ischemic heart disease and heart failure. It is usually accompanied by a reduction in L-type Ca
2+ channel (LTCC) activity. In this study, however, we show that metabolic inhibition results in a biphasic effect on LTCC current (ICaL ) in human and rat cardiac myocytes: an initial increase of ICaL is observed in the early phase of metabolic inhibition which is followed by the more classical and strong inhibition. We studied the mechanism of the initial increase of ICaL in cardiac myocytes during β-adrenergic stimulation by isoprenaline, a non-selective agonist of β-adrenergic receptors. The whole-cell patch⁻clamp technique was used to record the ICaL in single cardiac myocytes. The initial increase of ICaL was induced by a wide range of metabolic inhibitors (FCCP, 2,4-DNP, rotenone, antimycin A). In rat cardiomyocytes, the initial increase of ICaL was eliminated when the cells were pre-treated with thapsigargin leading to the depletion of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Similar results were obtained when Ca2+ release from the SR was blocked with ryanodine. These data suggest that the increase of ICaL in the early phase of metabolic inhibition is due to a reduced calcium dependent inactivation (CDI) of LTCCs. This was further confirmed in human atrial myocytes where FCCP failed to induce the initial stimulation of ICaL when Ca2+ was replaced by Ba2+ , eliminating CDI of LTCCs. We conclude that the initial increase in ICaL observed during the metabolic inhibition in human and rat cardiomyocytes is a consequence of an acute reduction of Ca2+ release from SR resulting in reduced CDI of LTCCs.- Published

- 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
Cardiac failure is a common complication in cancer survivors treated with anthracyclines. Here we followed up cardiac function and excitation-contraction (EC) coupling in an in vivo doxorubicin (Dox) treated mice model (iv, total dose of 10 mg/Kg divided once every three days). Cardiac function was evaluated by echocardiography at 2, 6 and 15 weeks after the last injection. While normal at 2 and 6 weeks, ejection fraction was significantly reduced at 15 weeks. In order to evaluate the underlying mechanisms, we measured [Ca
2+ ]i transients by confocal microscopy and action potentials (AP) by patch-clamp technique in cardiomyocytes isolated at these times. Three phases were observed: 1/depression and slowing of the [Ca2+ ]i transients at 2 weeks after treatment, with occurrence of proarrhythmogenic Ca2+ waves, 2/compensatory state at 6 weeks, and 3/depression on [Ca2+ ]i transients and cell contraction at 15 weeks, concomitant with in-vivo defects. These [Ca2+ ]i transient alterations were observed without cellular hypertrophy or AP prolongation and mirrored the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ load variations. At the molecular level, this was associated with a decrease in the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA2a) expression and enhanced RyR2 phosphorylation at the protein kinase A (PKA, pS2808) site (2 and 15 weeks). RyR2 phosphorylation at the Ca2+ /calmodulin dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII, pS2814) site was enhanced only at 2 weeks, coinciding with the higher incidence of proarrhythmogenic Ca2+ waves. Our study highlighted, for the first time, the progression of Dox treatment-induced alterations in Ca2+ handling and identified key components of the underlying Dox cardiotoxicity. These findings should be helpful to understand the early-, intermediate-, and late- cardiotoxicity already recorded in clinic in order to prevent or treat at the subclinical level., (Copyright © 2018.

- Abstract
Aims: β1- and β2-adrenergic receptors (β-ARs) produce different acute contractile effects on the heart partly because they impact on different cytosolic pools of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). They also exert different effects on gene expression but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. The aim of this study was to understand the mechanisms by which β1- and β2-ARs regulate nuclear PKA activity in cardiomyocytes., Methods and Results: We used cytoplasmic and nuclear targeted biosensors to examine cAMP signals and PKA activity in adult rat ventricular myocytes upon selective β1- or β2-ARs stimulation. Both β1- and β2-AR stimulation increased cAMP and activated PKA in the cytoplasm. Although the two receptors also increased cAMP in the nucleus, only β1-ARs increased nuclear PKA activity and up-regulated the PKA target gene and pro-apoptotic factor, inducible cAMP early repressor (ICER). Inhibition of phosphodiesterase (PDE)4, but not Gi, PDE3, GRK2 nor caveolae disruption disclosed nuclear PKA activation and ICER induction by β2-ARs. Both nuclear and cytoplasmic PKI prevented nuclear PKA activation and ICER induction by β1-ARs, indicating that PKA activation outside the nucleus is required for subsequent nuclear PKA activation and ICER mRNA expression. Cytoplasmic PKI also blocked ICER induction by β2-AR stimulation (with concomitant PDE4 inhibition). However, in this case nuclear PKI decreased ICER up-regulation by only 30%, indicating that other mechanisms are involved. Down-regulation of mAKAPβ partially inhibited nuclear PKA activation upon β1-AR stimulation, and drastically decreased nuclear PKA activation upon β2-AR stimulation in the presence of PDE4 inhibition., Conclusions: β1- and β2-ARs differentially regulate nuclear PKA activity and ICER expression in cardiomyocytes. PDE4 insulates a mAKAPβ-targeted PKA pool at the nuclear envelope that prevents nuclear PKA activation upon β2-AR stimulation.

- Abstract
Aims: Quantitative real-time RT-PCR (RT-qPCR) has become the method of choice for mRNA quantification, but requires an accurate normalization based on the use of reference genes showing invariant expression across various pathological conditions. Only few data exist on appropriate reference genes for the human heart. The objective of this study was to determine a set of suitable reference genes in human atrial and ventricular tissues, from right and left cavities in control and in cardiac diseases., Methods and Results: We assessed the expression of 16 reference genes (ACTB, B2M, GAPDH, GUSB, HMBS, HPRT1, IPO8, PGK1, POLR2A, PPIA, RPLP0, TBP, TFRC, UBC, YWHAZ, 18S) in tissues from: right and left ventricles from healthy controls and heart failure (HF) patients; right-atrial tissue from patients in sinus rhythm with (SRd) or without (SRnd) atrial dilatation, patients with paroxysmal (pAF) or chronic (cAF) atrial fibrillation or with HF; and left-atrial tissue from patients in SR or cAF. Consensual analysis (by geNorm and Normfinder algorithms, BestKeeper software tool and comparative delta-Ct method) of the variability scores obtained for each reference gene expression shows that the most stably expressed genes are: GAPDH, GUSB, IPO8, POLR2A, and YWHAZ when comparing either right and left ventricle or ventricle from healthy controls and HF patients; GAPDH, IPO8, POLR2A, PPIA, and RPLP0 when comparing either right and left atrium or right atria from all pathological groups. ACTB, TBP, TFRC, and 18S genes were identified as the least stable., Conclusions: The overall most stable reference genes across different heart cavities and disease conditions were GAPDH, IPO8, POLR2A and PPIA. YWHAZ or GUSB could be added to this set for some specific experiments. This study should provide useful guidelines for reference gene selection in RT-qPCR studies in human heart., (Published on behalf of the European Society of Cardiology.

- Abstract
Background: Inula viscosa L. (Asteraceae) is a medicinal plant widely used as a folk medicine in oriental Morocco, to treat hypertension. The antihypertensive effect of the methanolic extract obtained from I. viscosa leaves was evaluated in hypertensive L-NAME rats. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was measured using a non-invasive indirect tail-cuff plethysmographic method. Four groups of rats were used: a control group; a hypertensive group treated with L-NAME (32mg/kg/day); a positive control group treated with L-NAME plus enalapril (15mg/kg/day) as a reference antihypertensive agent; and a group treated with L-NAME plus MeOH-extract (40mg/kg/day)., Methods: Treatment with L-NAME alone caused a progressive increase in SBP. After 4 weeks, the value of SBP reached 160±2mmHg which shows the installation of hypertension. Enalapril prevented the increase in SBP, which remained normal at 123±1mmHg after 4 weeks of treatment. The administration of MeOH-extract along with L-NAME prevented the increase in SBP as well, which remained constant at 115±1mmHg after 4 weeks of treatment. In ex-vivo models, MeOH-extract produced a relaxation of pre-contracted ring aorta (54 ± 2% of relaxation at 3g/L). But, when the rings were denuded, MeOH-extract failed to relax pre-contracted rings of aorta. Phytochemical study of I. viscosa MeOH-extract revealed the presence of phenolic compounds, such as cynarin and chlorogenic acid., Results: The present results suggest that I. viscosa MeOH-extract has an antihypertensive, predominantly mediated by an endothelium-dependent vasodilatory effect. Cynarin and chlorogenic acid, which have a strong vasorelaxant effect may be involved in the antihypertensive effect of the plant extract. The bioinformatic POM analysis confirms the therapeutic potential of cynarin and chlorogenic acids as inhibitors of various biotargets. Based on the results, the coordination of these phytochemicals with calcium and transition metals should be studied, for better scope at antihypertensive drug development., (Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Masson SAS.

- Abstract
Metabolic stress evoked by myocardial ischemia leads to impairment of cardiac excitation and contractility. We studied the mechanisms by which metabolic inhibition affects the activity of L-type Ca2+ channels (LTCCs) in frog ventricular myocytes. Metabolic inhibition induced by the protonophore FCCP (as well as by 2,4- dinitrophenol, sodium azide or antimycin A) resulted in a dose-dependent reduction of LTCC current (ICa,L) which was more pronounced during β-adrenergic stimulation with isoprenaline. ICa,L was still reduced by metabolic inhibition even in the presence of 3 mM intracellular ATP, or when the cell was dialysed with cAMP or ATP-γ-S to induce irreversible thiophosphorylation of LTCCs, indicating that reduction in ICa,L is not due to ATP depletion and/or reduced phosphorylation of the channels. However, the effect of metabolic inhibition on ICa,L was strongly attenuated when the mitochondrial F1F0-ATP-synthase was blocked by oligomycin or when the cells were dialysed with the non-hydrolysable ATP analogue AMP-PCP. Moreover, increasing the intracellular pH buffering capacity or intracellular dialysis of the myocytes with an alkaline solution strongly attenuated the inhibitory effect of FCCP on ICa,L. Thus, our data demonstrate that metabolic inhibition leads to excessive ATP hydrolysis by the mitochondrial F1F0-ATP-synthase operating in the reverse mode and this results in intracellular acidosis causing the suppression of ICa,L. Limiting ATP break-down by F1F0-ATP-synthase and the consecutive development of intracellular acidosis might thus represent a potential therapeutic approach for maintaining a normal cardiac function during ischemia.
