连代低氧培养肺动脉平滑肌及内皮细胞的急性低氧反应中环核苷酸的作用

目的:探讨环核苷酸在慢性低氧动物的低氧性肺血管收缩反应(HPV)弱化机制中的作用。方法:用RIA法测定连代常氧与连代低氧培养猪肺动脉平滑肌细胞(PASMC)和内皮细胞(PAEC)的cAMP和cGMP及其在急性低氧时的变化;用图像分析系统检测常氧与低氧培养PASMC在急性低氧时的收缩程度。结果:低氧组PASMC的cAMP、cGMP和PAEC的cGMP基础值较常氧组低(P＜0.01)。急性低氧状态下,低氧组PASMC的cAMP、cGMP含量升高(P＜0.01);低氧组弱收缩反应PASMC的百分率明显高于常氧组。结论:慢性低氧PASMC和PAEC的cAMP、cGMP基础值下降可能与慢性低氧动物肺动脉基础张力增高有关;慢性低氧PASMC在急性低氧反应时cAMP、cGMP含量升高可能是慢性低氧机体HPV弱化的机制之一。

Role of cyclic nucleotides in the acute hypoxic responses of hypoxic subcultured porcine pulmonary arterial smooth muscle and endothelial cells

AIM: To detect the role of cyclic nucleotides in the alleviation of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) in chronic hypoxic animals. METHODS: The intracellular cAMP and cGMP of the cultured porcine pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMC) and endothelial cells (PAEC) were assayed by RIA. The length of single PASMC during acute hypoxia was measured by imaging analysis system. RESULTS: The basal levels of cAMP and cGMP in PASMC and cGMP in PAEC of Chronic hypoxic groups decreased remarkably compared with normoxic groups ( P< 0.01). Under acute hypoxia, the contents of cAMP and cGMP in PASMC of chronic hypoxic groups increased significantly ( P< 0.01). Meanwhile, the percentage of PASMC with weak constrictive response in chronic hypoxic group was higher than that of control group. CONCLUSION: It's suggested that the changes of cAMP and cGMP in chronic hypoxic PASMC and PAEC might contribute to the increase in the basic tension of pulmonary artery and the alleviation of HPV in chronic hypoxic animals.
