Dinh-Xuan AT, et al, Impairment of pulmonary-artery endothelium-dependent relaxation in chronic obstructive lung disease is not due to dysfunction of endothelial cell membrane receptors nor to L-arginine deficiency.

In these studies, Fildena at doses ranging from 20 mg to 100 mg tid or the equivalent consistently improved pulmonary hemodynamics, reduced evidence of remodeling (in experimental models), and, in clinical studies, enhanced functional capacity. Agents that raise the intracellular cGMP are effective pulmonary vasodilators and smooth muscle antimitogens.

Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are a family of phosphohydrolyases that catalyze the hydrolysis of 3' cyclic phosphate bonds in adenosine and/or guanine 3',5' cyclic monophosphate (cAMP and/or cGMP). This phosphodiesterase specifically hydrolyzes cGMP to 5'-GMP. This gene encodes a cGMP-binding, cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase, a member of the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase family.

We thank S. Martinez and X.-B. Tang (Department of Pharmacology, University of Washington) for assistance with the production of bovine PDE5 recombinant protein used for generation of PDE5 monoclonal antibodies. We would suggest that phosphorylation and activation of PDE5 and its subsequent dephosphorylation by myosin phosphatase may be a key step in the termination of relaxation (caused by NO/cGMP) and preparation of smooth muscle for a next cycle of contraction. This phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of PDE5 by PKG and MLCP provide a point of cross-talk between cGMP/PKG and the actin-myosin contractile systems.

These include MLCP and proteins associated with regulation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration, e.g.Ca2+-activated K channel and IRAG. However, only a few physiologically relevant substrates for PKG have been shown in intact cells. It is known that for phosphorylation by either PKA or PKG to occur in vitro, cGMP must be bound to the noncatalytic cGMP binding sites of PDE5.

To determine whether PDE5 present in the intact tissue can be responsive to further PKG stimulation, mouse uterine rings were incubated in the presence of 1 mm 8-Br-cGMP. In cultured human uterine SMCs a small amount of similar low molecular weight band was detectable in cell extracts only after PDE5 underwent phosphorylation (Figs. Immunoprecipitation with the PDE5 phosphospecific antibody showed the presence of phospho-PDE5 hydrolytic activity in this tissue (Fig.

In smooth muscle cells PP1 is the catalytic subunit of myosin light chain phosphatase (MLCP), which provides a major control of smooth muscle tone by regulating the dephosphorylation of myosin light chains. Cell extracts containing phospho-PDE5 were incubated with different concentrations of the catalytic subunit of PP1. Protein phosphatase type 1, a catalytic subunit of MLCP , is involved in regulation of PDE5 phosphorylation by PKG.

These experiments provide additional evidence that PDE5 phosphorylationin vivo is predominately mediated through the cGMP/PKG I and not through the cAMP/PKA pathway. To further investigate which protein kinase is involved in PDE5 phosphorylation in vivo the endogenous level of phospho-PDE5 was measured in different tissues and compared with the same tissues from PKG I-deficient mice.
