中文摘要：

本文通过观察正常（control，CON）、慢性低氧（chronic hypoxia，CH）和野百合碱（monocrotaline，MCT）预处理肺高压大鼠肺动脉平滑肌细胞（pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells，PASMCs）中，瞬时感受器电位M8（transient receptor potential melastatin8，TRPM8）通道特异激动剂薄荷醇（menthol，MT）引起的胞浆游离钙浓度（[Ca^2＋]i）变化，探讨TRPM8通道在肺高压发病过程中的作用。大鼠处于CH环境或一次性腹腔注射MCT制备肺高压大鼠模型；原代培养CON和肺高压大鼠PASMCs，观察MT激动TRPM8通道引起的PASMCs[Ca^2＋]i变化，以及TRPM8通道特异阻断剂N-（4-叔-丁基苯基）-4-（3-氯吡啶-2-基）哌嗪-1-甲酰胺[N-（4-tert—butylphenyl）-4-（3-chloropyridin-2-yl）piperazine-1-carboxamide，BCTC]对MT引起[Ca^2＋]i变化作用的抑制效应；免疫组化检测TRPM8的细胞定位。结果显示，在2mmol／L Ca^2＋和无Ca^2＋台氏液中，MT都可以引起CON组PASMCs的[Ca^2＋]i增高，且这两种增高作用均可以被BCTC阻断；在2mmol／L Ca^2＋和无Ca^＋台氏液中，与CON组相比，CH组和MCT组MT引起PASMCs的[Ca^2＋]i增高幅度均显著减小。免疫组化细胞定位实验显示，PASMCs除胞核外其余部分均有TRPM8棕黄色阳性表达。以上结果提示，PASMCs上的TI冲M8通道既存在于胞膜，也存在于肌浆网；CH和MCT预处理可以分别减少PASMCs上TRPM8通道介导的Ca^2＋内流与Ca^2＋释放。

英文摘要：

The study was designed to explore the alteration of intracellular calcium concentration （[Ca^2＋]i）, induced by transient receptor potential melastatin 8 （TRPM8） channel-specific agonist menthol, in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells （PASMCs） between control and pulmonary hypertensive （PH） rats. PH rat models were established by means of chronic hypoxia （CH） arid monocrotaline （MCT） injection, respectively. PASMCs from control and PH rats were cultured. The change of [Ca^2＋]i in PASMCs induced by menthol, and the effect of TRPM8 channel-specific antagonist BCTC on the change of [Ca^2＋]i, were observed. Cellular localization of TRPM8 was examined by using immunohistochemistry. Results showed that menthol increased [Ca^2＋]i in the control PASMCs both in Ca^2＋-normal and Ca^2＋-free Tyrode＇s solutions, and at the same time BCTC could inhibit these two kinds of elevations. Compared with the control group, elevations of [Ca^2＋]i were decreased notably in CH- and MCT-pretreated PASMCs superfused with 2 mmol/L Ca^2＋ or 0 Ca^2＋-Tyrode＇s solutions. Immunohistochemical localization experiments showed that the whole PASMCs were dyed brown except for the nucleus. This study verified that TRPM8 exists both in membrane and sarcoplasmic reticulum of PASMCs. In addition, CH- and MCT-pretreatment could independently down-regulate the Ca^2＋ influx and Ca^2＋ release mediated by TRPM8 channel.
