Description
An account of the resource
The initiating event in hypoxic pulmonary hypertension is felt to be sustained hypoxic vasoconstriction, ultimately leading to vascular remodeling and fixed pulmonary hypertension. During the initial vasospastic phase endogenous vasodilatory pathways may serve to ameliorate the development of pulmonary hypertension. However, various studies in the systemic and pulmonary circulations have shown that chronic hemodynamic stress alters both endothelial and smooth muscle cell function. The effect of chronic hypoxia in rats was therefore tested on three major vasodilatory pathways: 1) endothelium-dependent relaxation (using endothelium-derived relaxing factor agonists and antagonists); 2) smooth muscle cell cyclic nucleotide-mediated relaxation [using guanosine and adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP and cAMP) agonists]; and 3) ion channel-dependent relaxation (using K+ channel agonists and Ca2+ channel antagonists). It was found that short-term exposure (72 h) to hypoxia caused augmentation of K+ and Ca2+ channel-dependent relaxation with no effect on endothelium-dependent or cyclic nucleotide-mediated relaxation. More prolonged exposure (4-5 wk) was additionally associated with inhibition of endothelium-dependent relaxation and smooth muscle cell cGMP-mediated relaxation. There was no effect on either basal modulation of tone by the endothelium, cAMP-mediated relaxation, or systemic vessel relaxation. It is concluded that an early response to hemodynamic stress in the pulmonary circulation is alteration in smooth muscle cell ion channel function and/or Ca2+ homeostasis.
