PDE1/2 upregulation may blunt cGMP in hypertrophied hearts; hypothesis-generating for PDE-targeted therapies in human pressure-overload disease.
Increased cGMP-PDE activity in response to pressure overload appears to be post-transcriptionally up-regulated and may play an important role in neutralizing cGMP action in hypertrophied cardiac tissue.
Yanaka et al. (2003) studied this question.
