Phosphodiesterase Type 3A Regulates Basal Myocardial Contractility Through Interacting With Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Calcium ATPase Type 2a Signaling Complexes in Mouse Heart
Bibliographic record
Abstract
RATIONALE: cAMP is an important regulator of myocardial function, and regulation of cAMP hydrolysis by cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) is a critical determinant of the amplitude, duration, and compartmentation of cAMP-mediated signaling. The role of different PDE isozymes, particularly PDE3A vs PDE3B, in the regulation of heart function remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To determine the relative contribution of PDE3A vs PDE3B isozymes in the regulation of heart function and to dissect the molecular basis for this regulation. METHODS AND RESULTS: Compared with wild-type littermates, cardiac contractility and relaxation were enhanced in isolated hearts from PDE3A(-/-), but not PDE3B(-/-), mice. Furthermore, PDE3 inhibition had no effect on PDE3A(-/-) hearts but increased contractility in wild-type (as expected) and PDE3B(-/-) hearts to levels indistinguishable from PDE3A(-/-). The enhanced contractility in PDE3A(-/-) hearts was associated with cAMP-dependent elevations in Ca(2+) transient amplitudes and increased sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) content, without changes in L-type Ca(2+) currents of cardiomyocytes, as well as with increased SR Ca(2+)-ATPase type 2a activity, SR Ca(2+) uptake rates, and phospholamban phosphorylation in SR fractions. Consistent with these observations, PDE3 activity was reduced ≈8-fold in SR fractions from PDE3A(-/-) hearts. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments further revealed that PDE3A associates with both SR calcium ATPase type 2a and phospholamban in a complex that also contains A-kinase anchoring protein-18, protein kinase type A-RII, and protein phosphatase type 2A. CONCLUSIONS: Our data support the conclusion that PDE3A is the primary PDE3 isozyme modulating basal contractility and SR Ca(2+) content by regulating cAMP in microdomains containing macromolecular complexes of SR calcium ATPase type 2a-phospholamban-PDE3A.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
