Phosphodiesterase PDE3 Blunts the Positive Inotropic and Cyclic AMP Enhancing Effects of CGP12177 but Not of Noradrenaline in Rat Ventricle
Overview

1.--The cardiostimulant effects of CGP12177, mediated through a beta(1)-adrenoceptor site with low affinity for (-)-propranolol, are potentiated by the nonselective PDE inhibitor IBMX but the role of PDE isoenzymes is unknown. We studied the effects of the PDE3-selective inhibitor cilostamide (300 nM) and PDE4-selective inhibitor rolipram (1 microM) on the positive inotropic and cyclic AMP-enhancing effects of CGP12177 and noradrenaline in right ventricular strips of rat. 2.--CGP12177 (under (-)-propranolol 200 nM) only increased contractile force in the presence of either cilostamide or rolipram with -logEC(50)M 6.7 (E(max)=23% over basal) and 7.1 (E(max)=50%) respectively. The combination of cilostamide and rolipram caused CGP12177 to enhance contractile force with -logEC(50)M=7.7 and E(max)=178%. 3.--The positive inotropic effects of noradrenaline (-logEC(50)M=6.9) were potentiated by rolipram (-logEC(50)M=7.4) but not by cilostamide (-logEC(50)M=7.0). 4.--In the presence of rolipram and (-)-propranolol, noradrenaline (2 microM) and CGP12177 (10 microM) produced matching inotropic effects but failed to increase cyclic AMP levels. 20 microM (-)-noradrenaline increased cyclic AMP levels, a response further enhanced by rolipram. 5.--Both PDE3 and PDE4 of rat ventricle appear to hydrolyse cyclic AMP generated through the low-affinity beta(1)-adrenoceptor site, thereby preventing inotropic responses of CGP12177. When (-)-noradrenaline interacts with the beta(1)-adrenoceptor, the generated cyclic AMP is hydrolysed only by PDE4, thereby reducing cardiostimulation.
