To explore possible mechanisms underlying hypoxia-induced pulmonary vasoconstriction, the effect of hypoxia on outward K+ current (I(out)) was evaluated in primary cultured rat pulmonary (PA) and mesenteric (MA) arterial smooth muscle cells using the whole cell patch-clamp technique. When the cells were bathed in standard physiological salt solution and the patch pipettes contained Ca2+-free media with 10 mM ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA), virtually all of the I(out), including both the rapidly inactivating component (I(rt)) and the steady-state (noninactivating) component (I(ss)), was mediated by voltage-gated K+ channels. Reduction of O2 tension in the bath solution from 155 Torr to
