CGMP is a central intracellular second-messenger regu-lating numerous cellular functions. In the cardiac myocyte, cGMP mediates effects of nitric oxide and atrial natriuretic peptide, whereas its counterpart, cAMP, mediates catecholamine signaling. Each cyclic nucleotide has a corresponding primary targeted protein kinase, protein kinase (PK) A for cAMP, and PKG for cGMP. PKA stimulation is associated with enhanced contractility and can stimulate growth, whereas PKG acts as a brake in the heart, capable of countering cAMP–PKA contractile stimulation and inhibiting hypertrophy. 1 Importantly, the duration and magnitude of these signaling cascades are determined not only by generation of cyclic nucleotides, but also by their hydrolysis catalyzed by phosphodiesterases (PDEs). PDE regulation is quite potent, often suppressing an acute rise in a given cyclic nucleotide back to baseline within seconds to minutes. 2 It is also compartmentalized within the cell, so that specific targeted proteins can be regulated by the same “generic” cyclic nucleotide. 3 For many years, the only PDE in the crosshairs for cardiac biologists was PDE3, a principally cAMP-targeted PDE whose inhibition served as the basis for drugs such as milrinone as a heart failure therapy. However, this list was recently expanded with the recognition of PDE4 as a regulator of ß-adrenergic signaling and excitation–contraction coupling, 4 and PDE5 for its regulation of cardiac stress responses. 1 With the study of Miller et al, 5 in this issue of Circulation Research, we can now add PDE1 to the list of hypertrophy regulators, via its modulation of cGMP in the myocyte.The mammalian PDEs comprise a 21 gene superfamily of enzymes grouped into 11 iso-enzymes (PDE1 to PDE11) based on sequence homology, enzymatic properties, and sensitivity to inhibitors. 2 These isoenzymes harbor different specificities to cAMP, cGMP or both, and are also differentially expressed in a variety of tissues. PDE1, PDE2, PDE3, PDE4, PDE5, and PDE9 are expressed in the heart and among these, PDE5 and PDE9 are highly specific to cGMP (Table). 2 Recent studies have demonstrated a role for cGMP modulation by PDE5 in the heart, 1 although the role for PDE9 is unknown at present.
