Hederagenin Attenuates Cardiac Remodeling by Targeting Phosphodiesterase 9A.

Key Result

Hederagenin inhibits PDE9A and attenuates cardiac hypertrophy by activating the cGMP-PKG pathway, suggesting potential heart failure therapy.

Key Points

• The main aim is to investigate the effects of hederagenin on cardiac remodeling and its mechanism involving PDE9A.
• Evaluated the impact of hederagenin as a PDE9A inhibitor.
• Analyzed the activation of the cGMP-PKG signaling pathway.
• Assessed cardiac hypertrophic responses in relevant models.
• Hederagenin effectively inhibited PDE9A activity.
• Activated the cGMP-PKG signaling pathway.
• Reduced signs of cardiac hypertrophy, implying potential benefits for heart failure.
