Kv1.5对大鼠低氧高二氧化碳性PASMCs增殖、凋亡的影响及与MAPK通路的关系

 目的：探讨电压依赖性钾离子通道Kv1.5对大鼠低氧高二氧化碳性肺动脉平滑肌细胞（PASMCs）增殖、凋亡的影响及其与丝裂原激活蛋白激酶（MAPK）信号通路的关系。方法：体外培养大鼠PASMCs，复制低氧高二氧化碳模型，随机分组如下：常氧组（N组）；低氧高二氧化碳组（HH组）；低氧高二氧化碳+溶剂DMSO对照组（HD组）；低氧高二氧化碳+ERK1/2通路抑制剂U0126组（HU组）；低氧高二氧化碳+p38 MAPK通路抑制剂SB203580组（HS组）；低氧高二氧化碳+MAPK通路激动剂茴香霉素（anisomycin）组（HA组）。采用CCK-8法检测细胞活性，蛋白免疫印迹法检测Kv1.5、增殖细胞核抗原（PCNA）及Bax蛋白的表达水平。结果：与N组相比，HH组和HD组细胞活性增加（P<0.01），PCNA蛋白表达上调，Kv1.5及Bax蛋白表达均明显降低（P<0.01）,HH组和HD组间各指标变化均无显著差异（均P>0.05）；较之HD组，HU组、HS组及HA组细胞活性降低（P<0.05或P<0.01），PCNA蛋白表达下调，Kv1.5及Bax蛋白表达均明显增加，差异均显著（P<0.01），其中以HA组各指标变化最明显。结论：钾离子通道Kv1.5对低氧高二氧化碳性大鼠PASMCs增殖、凋亡的调节可能与MAPK通路的激活有关。

Effects of Kv1.5 on proliferation and apoptosis of rat PASMCs under hypoxia+hypercapnia condition and relationship with MAPK pathway

AIM：To investigate the effects of voltage-dependent K＋ channel 1.5 (Kv1.5) on the proliferation and apoptosis of rat pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) under hypoxia+hypercapnia condition and the relationship with mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK) signal pathway. METHODS：The PASMCs isolated from the male SD rat were cultured under hypoxia+hypercapnia condition, and randomly divided into normal group (N group), hypoxia+hypercapnia group (HH group), hypoxia+hypercapnia+DMSO incubation group (HD group), hypoxia+hypercapnia+U0126 (an extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 inhibitor) incubation group (HU group), hypoxia+hypercapnia+SB203580 (a p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitor) incubation group (HS group), and hypoxia+hypercapnia+anisomycin (an agonist of MAPK) incubation group (HA group). Cell Counting Kit-8 was used to detect the cell viability. The protein expression of Kv1.5, PCNA and Bax was detected by Western blotting. RESULTS：Compared with N group, the cell viability and PCNA protein expression in HH group and HD group were significantly raised (P<001), but Kv1.5 and Bax proteins were significantly decreased (P<0.01). No difference between HH group and HD group was observed (P>005). Compared with HD group, the cell viability and PCNA protein expression in HU group, HS group and HA group were decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), but Kv1.5 protein and Bax protein were raised (P<0.01), with the most significant changes in HA group. ^{CONCLUSION：}The regulation of Kv1.5 to the proliferation and apoptosis of PASMCs under hypoxia+hypercapnia condition might have a relationship with the activation of MAPK signal pathway.
