Long-term treatment with a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor improves pulmonary hypertension secondary to heart failure through enhancing the natriuretic peptides-cGMP pathway.
    Journal of cardiovascular pharmacology, 2004, Volume: 44, Issue:5

    In advanced heart failure (HF), the compensatory pulmonary vasodilation is attenuated due to the relative insufficiency of cGMP despite increased secretion of natriuretic peptides (NPs). Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors prevent cGMP degradation, and thus may potentiate the effect of the NPs-cGMP pathway. We orally administered a specific PDE5 inhibitor, T-1032 (1 mg/kg; twice a day, n = 7) or placebo (n = 7) for 2 weeks in dogs with HF induced by rapid pacing (270 bpm, 3 weeks) and examined the plasma levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), cGMP, and hemodynamic parameters. We also examined the hemodynamic changes after injection of a specific NPs receptor antagonist, HS-142-1 (3 mg/kg), under treatment with T-1032. T-1032 significantly increased plasma cGMP levels compared with the vehicle group despite low plasma ANP levels associated with improvement in cardiopulmonary hemodynamics. HS-142-1 significantly decreased plasma cGMP levels in both groups, whereas it did not change all hemodynamic parameters in the vehicle group. In contrast, in the T-1032 group, HS-142-1 significantly increased pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance. These results indicated that long-term treatment with a PDE5 inhibitor improved pulmonary hypertension secondary to HF and the NPs-cGMP pathway contributed to this therapeutic effect.

Chronic administration of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor suppresses renal production of endothelin-1 in dogs with congestive heart failure.
    Clinical science (London, England : 1979), 2002, Volume: 103 Suppl 48

    Endothelin-1 (ET-1) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) play important roles in the regulation of body fluid balance in congestive heart failure (CHF). Renal production of ET-1 increases in CHF and it is a significant independent predictor of sodium excretion. ANP inhibits the ET system through cGMP, a second messenger of ANP. However, in severe CHF, plasma cGMP levels reached a plateau despite the activation of ANP secretion. Thus, ANP does not seem to sufficiently oppose exaggerated ET-1 actions in severe CHF, partially due to the accelerated degradation of cGMP, through phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). We examined the chronic effects of a PDE5 inhibitor, T-1032 (1 mg/kg per day, n=5), on renal function and renal production of ET-1 in dogs with CHF induced by rapid ventricular pacing (270 beats/min). Vehicle dogs were given a placebo (n=5) and normal dogs (n=5) served as normal controls without pacing. In this experimentally produced CHF, plasma levels of ET-1, ANP and cGMP were elevated and renal production of cGMP was increased compared with the normal group, associated with increases in renal expression of preproET-1 mRNA and the number of ET-1-positive cells in glomeruli. In the T-1032 group, systemic and renal production of cGMP were further increased compared with the vehicle group despite no significant difference in plasma ANP levels between the two groups. Subsequently, the agent significantly improved urine flow rate, sodium excretion rate and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) associated with reductions in renal expression of preproET-1 mRNA and the number of ET-1-positive cells compared with the vehicle group. Moreover, there was a significant negative correlation between the number of ET-1-positive cells and GFR (r=-0.802 and P<0.001 respectively). Our results indicate that chronic PDE5 inhibition ameliorates the antagonistic relationship between renal ANP and ET-1 through the cGMP pathway, subsequently preventing renal dysfunction during the progression of CHF.
