Inhibition of the upregulated phosphodiesterase 4D isoforms improves SERCA2a function in diabetic cardiomyopathy.
Article in British journal of pharmacology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
background and purposeSarcoplasmic reticulum Ca EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Wild type mice were fed with either normal chow or a high-fat diet (HFD). Cardiomyocytes were isolated for excitation-contraction coupling (ECC), fluorescence resonant energy transfer PKA biosensor and proximity ligation assays. KEY
resultsThe upregulated PDE4D3 and PDE4D9 isoforms in HFD cardiomyocytes specifically bound to SERCA2a but not ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) on the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). The increased association of PDE4D isoforms with SERCA2a in HFD cardiomyocytes led to reduced local PKA activities and phosphorylation of phospholamban (PLB) but minimally effected the PKA activities and phosphorylation of RyR2. These changes correlate with slower calcium decay tau in the SR and attenuation of ECC in HFD cardiomyocytes. Selective inhibition of PDE4D3 or PDE4D9 restored PKA activities and phosphorylation of PLB at the SERCA2a complex, recovered calcium decay tau, and increased ECC in HFD cardiomyocytes. Therapies with PDE4 inhibitor roflumilast, PDE4D inhibitor BPN14770 or genetical deletion of PDE4D restored PKA phosphorylation of PLB and cardiac contractile function. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS: The current study identifies upregulation of specific PDE4D isoforms that selectively inhibit SERCA2a function in HFD-induced cardiomyopathy, indicating that this remodelling can be targeted to restore cardiac contractility in diabetic cardiomyopathy.
