Role of voltage-gated K+ channel Kv2.1 in development and regression of hypoxic pulmonary artery hypertension in rats
Objective To investigate the effect of the expression of voltage-gated K
+
channel Kv2.1 in the development and regression of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in hypobaria and hypoxia rats. Methods Totally 32 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (200 to 250 g) were randomly and equally divided into 4 groups
normal group (N group)
ch
ronic hypoxia group (CH group)
Dichloroacetate (DCA

introgastrically) treated group (CH+DCA group)
and chronic hypoxia return to normal conditions for 7 d group (CHR
7
group). For the rats of the CH
CH+DCA and CHR
7
groups
5 000 meter high altitude circumstance was simulated by exposure rats in a hypobaric and hypoxia chamber for 21 d. Rats in N group were fed in normal air pressure and PO
2
conditions. The animals of N
CH and CH+DCA groups were sacrificed for mPAP measurement and tissue harvest at day 21. The mPAP measurement and tissue harvest of CHR
7
group were performed after the rats returned to normal conditions for 7 d. Real time PCR
immunohistochemical staining and Western blot analysis were carried out to detect the Kv2.1 expression in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). Results Compared with the rats in N group
the mRNA and protein expressions of Kv2.1 in the PASMCs in CH rats were deceased but mPAP were increased significantly
and the pulmonary artery wall were thickened significantly. However
compared with the CH rats
the Kv2.1 mRNA and protein expressions of the CH+DCA group and CHR
7
group were restored and mPAP were decreased
and the pulmonary artery wall thicken was slightly. Conclusion The expression of Kv2.1 is negatively correlated with the chronic hypoxia hypertension
suggesting that Kv2.1 may play an important role in the development and regression of PAH.
