چکیده

To test the hypothesis that chronic intrauterine pulmonary hypertension (PHTN) compromises pulmonary artery (PA) smooth muscle cell (SMC) O2 sensing, fluorescence microscopy was used to study the effect of an acute increase in Po2 on the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) of chronically hypoxic subconfluent monolayers of PA SMC in primary culture. PA SMCs were derived from fetal lambs with PHTN due to intrauterine ligation of the ductus arteriosus. Acute normoxia decreased [Ca2+]i in control but not PHTN PA SMC. In control PA SMC, [Ca2+]i increased after Ca2+-sensitive (KCa) and voltage-sensitive (Kv) K+ channel blockade and decreased after diltiazem treatment. In PHTN PA SMC, KCa blockade had no effect, whereas Kv blockade and diltiazem increased [Ca2+]i. Inhibition of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase activity caused a greater increase in [Ca2+]i in controls compared with PHTN PA SMC. Conversely, ryanodine caused a greater increase of [Ca2+]i in PHTN compared with control PA SMC. KCa channel mRNA is decreased and Kv channel mRNA is unchanged in PHTN PA SMC compared with controls. We conclude that PHTN compromises PA SMC O2 sensing, alters intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis, and changes the predominant ion channel that determines basal [Ca2+]i from KCa to Kv.

Chronic intrauterine pulmonary hypertension selectively modifies pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell gene expression.

Pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) relaxation at birth results from an increase in cytosolic cGMP, cGMP-dependent and kinase-mediated activation of the Ca2+-sensitive K+ channel (KCa), and closure of voltage-operated Ca2+ channels (VOCC). How chronic intrauterine pulmonary hypertension compromises perinatal pulmonary vasodilation remains unknown. We tested the hypothesis that chronic i...

Tyrosine phosphorylation of Kv1.5 is upregulated in intrauterine growth retardation rats with exaggerated pulmonary hypertension

Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) is associated with the development of adult-onset diseases, including pulmonary hypertension. However, the underlying mechanism of the early nutritional insult that results in pulmonary vascular dysfunction later in life is not fully understood. Here, we investigated the role of tyrosine phosphorylation of voltage-gated potassium channel 1.5 (Kv1.5) in thi...
