Using homologous recombination, we generated mice lacking phosphodiesterase-mediated (PDE1B) cyclic nucleotide-hydrolyzing activity. PDE1B(-/-) mice showed exaggerated hyperactivity after acute D-methamphetamine administration. Striatal slices from PDE1B(-/-) mice exhibited increased levels of phospho-Thr(34) DARPP-32 and phospho-Ser(845) GluR1 after dopamine D1 receptor agonist or forskolin stimulation. PDE1B(-/-) and PDE1B(+/-) mice demonstrated Morris maze spatial-learning deficits. These results indicate that enhancement of cyclic nucleotide signaling by inactivation of PDE1B-mediated cyclic nucleotide hydrolysis plays a significant role in dopaminergic function through the DARPP-32 and related transduction pathways.
