Overview of Gene Research
PDE5A, a cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase, hydrolyzes cGMP to GMP. It is involved in multiple physiological and pathological pathways, including those related to vascular tone regulation, neuronal signaling, and skeletal remodeling [3,6,7,8]. In vascular smooth muscle cells, it plays a key role in regulating vascular tone, and in skeletal tissue, it may be involved in the NO-cGMP-PKG pathway important for skeletal homeostasis [6,8].

In the context of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), miR-30d can attenuate PAH and pulmonary vascular remodeling by targeting PDE5A. In miR-30d knockout rats treated with sildenafil (a PDE5A inhibitor), suppressing miR-30d partially weakens the beneficial effect of sildenafil against monocrotaline-induced pulmonary hypertension and vascular remodeling, indicating that PDE5A is a crucial target in PAH treatment [1]. In bipolar disorder, single-nucleus RNA sequencing of human basal ganglia shows upregulation of PDE5A in caudate medium spiny neurons. Overexpression of PDE5A in mouse striatum leads to decreased cGMP level, increased neuroinflammation gene expression, and bipolar-like behaviors, suggesting its causative role in bipolar disorder [2]. In thyroid cancer, lncRNA ARAP1-AS1 promotes cancer progression through the miR-516b-5p/PDE5A axis, highlighting PDE5A's role in cancer development [4]. Also, PDE5A polymorphisms influence the response to sildenafil treatment in patients with erectile dysfunction, with the rs3806808 polymorphism's G-allele carriers showing a worse response, especially in non-diabetic patients [5].

In summary, PDE5A is involved in diverse biological functions and is associated with multiple diseases such as PAH, bipolar disorder, thyroid cancer, and erectile dysfunction. Studies using knockout or transgenic models, like miR-30d transgenic and knockout rats in PAH research, and overexpression models in bipolar disorder research, have revealed its role in these disease conditions, providing insights for potential therapeutic strategies.
