- Abstract
- The effects of luminal ATP between rabbit pulmonary (PAs) and coronary arteries (CAs) were compared to understand the role of purinoceptors in the regulation of pulmonary arterial pressure ( PAP) under hypoxia. Diameters of vessels were video analyzed under luminal perfusion. ATP-induced membrane currents and intracellular Ca2+ signals ([Ca2+]i) were compared in pulmonary (PASMCs) and coronary myocytes (CASMCs) using patch clamp and spectrofluorimetry. PAP was measured in perfused lungs under ventilation. Luminal ATP induced constriction of rabbit PAs in the presence of endothelium. In contrast, CAs showed dilating responses to luminal ATP even in the absence of endothelium. In PASMCs, both P2X-mediated inward current and P2Y-mediated store Ca2+ release were consistently observed. In contrast, CASMCs showed neither P2X nor P2Y responses. In the perfused lungs, hypoxia-induced PAP increase was decreased by suramin, a purinergic antagonist. A luminal application of alpha, beta-meATP largely increased PAP, whereas UTP decreased PAP. The combined application of P2X- and P2Y-selective agonists (alpha,beta-meATP and UTP) increased PAP. However, the perfusion of ATP alone decreased PAP, and the ATP- induced PAP decrease was affected neither by adenosine receptor antagonist nor by nitric oxide synthase inhibitor. In summary, although the luminal ATP constricts isolated PAs and suramin attenuated the HPVof perfused lungs, the bimodal responses of PAP to purinergic agonists indicate that the luminal ATP regulates pulmonary circulation via complex signaling interactions in situ.
