Objective: The phenotypic modulation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) to a synthetic phenotype is vital during pathological vascular remodeling and the development of various vascular diseases. An increase in type I collagen (collagen I) has been implicated in synthetic VSMCs, and cyclic nucleotide signaling is critical in collagen I regulation. Herein, we investigate the role and underlying mechanism of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase 1 (PDE1) in regulating collagen I in synthetic VSMCs.
Methods And Results: The PDE1 inhibitor IC86340 significantly reduced collagen I in human saphenous vein explants undergoing spontaneous remodeling via ex vivo culture. In synthetic VSMCs, high basal levels of intracellular and extracellular collagen I protein were markedly decreased by IC86340. This attenuation was due to diminished protein but not mRNA. Inhibition of lysosome function abolished the effect of IC86340 on collagen I protein expression. PDE1C but not PDE1A is the major isoform responsible for mediating the effects of IC86340. Bicarbonate-sensitive soluble adenylyl cyclase/cAMP signaling was modulated by PDE1C, which is critical in collagen I degradation in VSMCs.
Conclusions: These data demonstrate that PDE1C regulates soluble adenylyl cyclase/cAMP signaling and lysosome-mediated collagen I protein degradation, and they suggest that PDE1C plays a critical role in regulating collagen homeostasis during pathological vascular remodeling.
