Role of Phosphodiesterase 1 in the Regulation of Real-Time cGMP Levels and Contractility in Adult Mouse Cardiomyocytes.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In mouse cardiomyocytes, the expression of two subfamilies of the calcium/calmodulin-regulated cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase 1 (PDE1)-PDE1A and PDE1C-has been reported. PDE1C was found to be the major subfamily in the human heart. It is a dual substrate PDE and can hydrolyze both 3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and 3',5'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). Previously, it has been reported that the PDE1 inhibitor ITI-214 shows positive inotropic effects in heart failure patients which were largely attributed to the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) signaling. However, the role of PDE1 in the regulation of cardiac cGMP has not been directly addressed. Here, we studied the effect of PDE1 inhibition on cGMP levels in adult mouse ventricular cardiomyocytes using a highly sensitive fluorescent biosensor based on Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). Live-cell imaging in paced and resting cardiomyocytes showed an increase in cGMP after PDE1 inhibition with ITI-214. Furthermore, PDE1 inhibition and PDE1A knockdown amplified the cGMP-FRET responses to the nitric oxide (NO)-donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) but not to the C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), indicating a specific role of PDE1 in the regulation of the NO-sensitive guanylyl cyclase (NO-GC)-regulated cGMP microdomain. ITI-214, in combination with CNP or SNP, showed a positive lusitropic effect, improving the relaxation of isolated myocytes. Immunoblot analysis revealed increased phospholamban (PLN) phosphorylation at Ser-16 in cells treated with a combination of SNP and PDE1 inhibitor but not with SNP alone. Our findings reveal a previously unreported role of PDE1 in the regulation of the NO-GC/cGMP microdomain and mouse ventricular myocyte contractility. Since PDE1 serves as a cGMP degrading PDE in cardiomyocytes and has the highest hydrolytic activities, it can be expected that PDE1 inhibition might be beneficial in combination with cGMP-elevating drugs for the treatment of cardiac diseases.
