目的:研究急性缺氧对大鼠远端肺静脉平滑肌细胞(PVSMC)细胞内钙浓度([Ca^2+]i)的影响及L型电压依赖性钙通道(VDCC)阻断剂硝苯地平的作用,为缺氧性肺动脉高压发病机制的进一步研究提供理论依据。方法:胶原酶消化法培养大鼠远端PVSMC,利用荧光显微镜和细胞内钙浓度检测系统观测急性缺氧(4%O2)、高钾(60mmol/LKCl)溶液对PVSMC的[Ca^2+]i影响及硝苯地平的干预作用。结果:对照组PVSMC的[Ca^2+]i随时间变化维持基线水平;缺氧组PVSMC急性缺氧后,[Ca^2+]i迅速升高并维持平台水平,△[Ca^2+]i达82.83nmol/L+23.03nmol/L;硝苯地平干预组PVSMC予急性缺氧和5μmol/L硝苯地平干预后,[Ca^2+]i升高幅度较小;高钾溶液孵育PVSMC后,[Ca^2+]i迅速增高,5μmol/L硝苯地平能完全阻断PVSMC的[Ca^2+]i对高钾溶液的反应。结论:急性缺氧可使大鼠远端PVSMC的[Ca^2+]i升高,其机制可能与激活PVSMC的VDCC和另外的非VDCC依赖的钙通道导致细胞外Ca^2+内流有关。
Objective: To study the effect of acute hypoxia on intracellular calcium cation concentration ([Ca^2+]i) in rat distal pulmonary venous smooth muscle cells (PVSMC) and the role of the L-type voltage-dependent Ca^2+ channels (VDCC) antagonist nifedipine. Methods: The rat distal PVSMC were cultured by collagenase digestion. The effects of acute hypoxia (4% 02 ) and high KC1 (60 mmol/L) on [Ca^2+]i in PVSMC and the role of nifedipine were tested by fluorescence microscopy and InCyte [Ca^2+ ]i measurement system. Results: The time course of [Ca^2+ ]i in control PVSMC was stable at baseline. Acute hypoxia induced a marked increase in [Ca^2+ ]i in PVSMC that rose quickly to a peak of/k [Ca^2+ ]i =82.83+23.03 nmol/L and followed by a plateau. 5μmol/L nifedipine partially attenuated the [Ca^2+ ]i response to acute hypoxia and the peak of/k [Ca^2+ ]i averaged 42.17±6.18 nmol/L in PVSMC. 60 mmol/L KC1 caused a quick increase in [Ca^2+ ]i in PVSMC with the peak of/k [Ca^2+ ]i = 183. 03 ~ 37. 84 nmol/L and 5 μmol/L nifedipine completely blocked the [-Ca^2+ ]i response to KC1 in PVSMC. Conclusion: Acute hypoxia increased the [Ca^2+ ]i in rat distal PVSMC. An increase in [Ca^2+]μ induced by acute hypoxia may the related to the influx of Ca^2+ through VDCC and another VDCC-independent Ca^2+ channels in PVSMC.
