Reactive oxygen species alter contractile properties of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle

Abstract: Reactive oxygen species alter pulmonary arterial vascular tone and cause changes in pulmonary vascular resistance. The objective of this investigation was to determine direct effects of oxygen radicals on the contractile properties of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle. Isolated pulmonary arterial rings from Sprague-Dawley rats were placed in tissue baths containing Earle's balanced salt solution (gassed with 95% O2 - 5% CO2, 37 degrees C, pH 7.4). Vessels were contracted with 80 mM KCl to establish maximum acti… Show more

“…Another study showed that H 2 O 2 at low concentration caused vasorelaxation, but, at millimolar concentration, it activated vasoconstriction in hypoxia-contracted guinea pig pulmonary arteries (1). In contrast, H 2 O 2 -induced pulmonary vasoconstriction has been reported in many other studies in the absence of agonist-induced preconstriction (26,46,50,56). Depending on the preparations, H 2 O 2 -induced pulmonary vasoconstriction has been attributed to the activation of different signaling pathways, including cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase, calmodulin, protein kinase C, phospholipase C, serine esterase, and tyrosine kinase.…”

“…For example, H 2 O 2 elicits vasoconstriction in the canine basilar artery (20) and rat aorta (51) but produces dilation in the rabbit aorta (52). A biphasic response consisting of a transient contraction, followed by relaxation was observed in the rat pulmonary artery (33). The contradictory results, either constriction (37) or dilation (5) of rabbit intrapulmonary arteries, were also reported.…”

“…Among the various biological effects attributed to ROS, vascular endothelial dysfunction has consistently been noted, irrespective of the preparations used. 2,18) In addition, ROS generated by the XϩXOD system caused contraction of rat pulmonary artery 19) and canine basilar artery, 20) whereas it relaxed canine coronary artery, 21) implying the existence of species or tissue differences in response to ROS. Furthermore, the responses of arteries to ROS are well-known to be influenced by the presence of endothelium.…”
