We studied how 5-HT4 receptor-mediated inotropic responses are regulated at the level of cAMP in porcine left atrium. We used selective phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors to assess which PDE subtypes are responsible for the fade with time of inotropic responses to 5-HT4 receptor activation with 5-HT and the 5-HT4 receptor agonist prucalopride. A possible cross-talk via PDEs between cGMP and 5-HT4 receptor-induced cAMP signalling was evaluated. Electrically paced left atrial pectinate muscles from young male pigs (15-25 kg) were studied in vitro. Simultaneous inhibition of PDE3 plus PDE4 subtypes was necessary to increase the amplitude and completely prevent the fade of the inotropic response to 5-HT and prucalopride. When responses to 5-HT or prucalopride had faded 1 h after addition, the nonspecific PDE-inhibitor IBMX still fully recovered inotropic responses. Stimulation of particulate guanylyl cyclase, together with PDE2 and PDE4 inhibition, delayed the fade of the response to 5-HT, while stimulation of soluble guanylyl cyclase independently of PDEs accelerated the fade of the response to 5-HT. In conclusion, both PDE3 and PDE4 subtypes are responsible for the suppression and the fade of the inotropic response to 5-HT and prucalopride. Signalling through the 5-HT4 receptor remains fully active for at least 90 min with PDEs continuously regulating the response. cGMP levels, elevated by activation of particulate guanylyl cyclase under PDE2 inhibition, can indirectly enhance 5-HT4 receptor-mediated signalling, at least when also PDE4 is inhibited, presumably through inhibition of PDE3. Elevation of cGMP generated by soluble guanylyl cyclase attenuates responses to 5-HT independently of PDEs.
