After birth and during the first days of extrauterine life, pulmonary arterial pressure is progressively reduced to reach the adult values. We hypothesized that changes in PDE5 activity might be involved in the pulmonary postnatal maturation of the nitric oxide (NO)/cGMP pathway. The PDE5 inhibitor sildenafil produced vasorelaxant responses in isolated pulmonary arteries. These effects were similar in newborn (3-18 h) and 2-wk-old piglets, unchanged by endothelium removal, and markedly inhibited by the soluble guanylyl cyclase inhibitor ODQ. The peak of the transient vasorelaxant response to NO gas increased with postnatal age but was unaffected by PDE inhibition. However, the duration of the response to NO was significantly increased. The vasorelaxant response to sodium nitroprusside was potentiated by sildenafil in both age groups. The PDE5 inhibitors dipyridamole and zaprinast, produced qualitatively similar effects but with lower potency. Both total and PDE5-dependent cGMP hydrolytic activity and PDE5 protein expression increased with postnatal age. All these results suggest that PDE5 is a key regulator of NO-induced vasodilation in the postnatal pulmonary arteries. PDE5 inhibition is able to produce pulmonary vasodilation even in the absence of a functional endothelium and potentiates the vasorelaxant response to exogenous NO and nitroprusside. However, PDE5 is not responsible for the maturational increase of NO bioactivity during the first days of extrauterine life.
