Cyclic AMP-mediated regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity.

Abstract：

:1. Rat cultured aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) express both cyclic GMP-inhibited cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase (PDE3) and Ro 20-1724-inhibited cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase (PDE4) activities. By utilizing either cilostamide, a PDE3-selective inhibitor, or Ro 20-1724, a PDE4-selective inhibitor, PDE3 and PDE4 activities were shown to account for 15% and 55% of total VSMC cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity. 2. Treatment of VSMC with either forskolin or 8-bromo-cyclic AMP caused significant concentration- and time-dependent increases in total cellular cyclic AMP PDE activity. Using cilostamide or Ro 20-1724, we demonstrated that both PDE3 and PDE4 activities were increased following forskolin or 8-bromo-cyclic AMP treatment, with a relatively larger effect observed on PDE3 activity. The increase in cyclic AMP PDE activity induced by forskolin or 8-bromo-cyclic AMP was inhibited by actinomycin D or cycloheximide, demonstrating that new mRNA synthesis and protein synthesis were required. An analogue of forskolin which does not activate adenylyl cyclase (1,9-dideoxyforskolin) or an analogue of cyclic GMP (8-bromo-cyclic GMP) did not affect total cyclic AMP PDE activity. 3. Incubation of VSMC with 8-bromo-cyclic AMP for 16 h caused a marked rightward shift in the concentration-response curves for both isoprenaline- and forskolin-mediated activation of adenylyl cyclase. A role for up-regulated cyclic AMP PDE activity in this reduced potency is supported by our observation that cyclic AMP PDE inhibitors (IBMX, cilostamide or Ro 20-1724) partially normalized the effects of isoprenaline or forskolin in treated cells to those in untreated cells. 4. We conclude that VSMC cyclic AMP PDE activity is increased following long-term elevation of cyclic AMP and that increases in PDE3 and PDE4 activities account for more than 70% of this effect. Furthermore, we conclude that increases in cyclic AMP PDE activity contribute to the reduced potency of isoprenaline or forskolin in treated VSMC. These results have implications for long-term use of cyclic AMP PDE inhibitors as therapeutic agents.
