Biochemical Characteristics of Cardiac PDEs

Km(μM)
Family Gene Substrate cAMP cGMP Regulators Species-dependent expression in the heart
PDE1 1A cAMP,cGMP 115 5 +Ca2+/CaM • equally expressed in human, rat and mouse hearts, and both CMs an CFs
• upregulated in mouse, rat and human failing hearts
• upregulated in rat CMs by hypertrophic stimuli
• upregulated in rat CFs by fibrotic stimuli
1B cAMP,cGMP 24 2.4 • not detected in normal human, rat and mouse hearts
1C cAMP,cGMP 1 1 • expressed highest in human, modest in mouse, very low in rat hearts, and in mouse CMs
• increased in failing human and mouse hearts, primarily restricted in CMs
PDE2 2A cAMP,cGMP 30 20 +CGMP • detected in human, rat and mouse hearts, and both CMs and CFs, with higher expression in CFs than CMs
• upregulated in human and mouse failing hearts
PDE3 3A cAMP,cGMP 0.15 0.15 −cGMP • expressed in human, rat, dog and mouse hearts and CMs• increase or decrease in diseased hearts, varied by studies
