The response of isolated rat pulmonary arteries to acute hypoxia has previously been reported to be biphasic, consisting of an initial rapid contraction of short duration, followed by partial relaxation (phase 1) and then a second, slowly developed but sustained contraction (phase 2). The purpose of this study was to determine the following: 1) whether products from the endothelium might be required, 2) whether extra- and/or intracellular calcium or protein kinase C might be second messengers in mediating the pulmonary arterial hypoxic contraction, and 3) whether or not guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP), endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF), prostaglandin I2 (PGI2) or A2 adenosine receptor activation is involved in phase 1 relaxation. Neither Ca2+-free media nor verapamil (a Ca2+ channel blocker) altered the phase 1 contraction, but the phase 2 contraction was abolished by either of these treatments. Ryanodine (a sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ depleter) had no effect on phase 1 contraction. H-7 (a PKC inhibitor) inhibited the phase 2 contraction, whereas it had no effect on phase 1 contraction. Removal of the endothelium abolished phase 1 contraction in either Ca2+-free media or normal Ca2+ media but did not alter phase 2 contraction or phase 1 relaxation. Neither methylene blue (guanylate cyclase inhibitor), N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine, (EDRF blocker), acetylsalicylic acid (cyclooxygenase inhibitor), xanthine amino congener (adenosine receptor blocker), nor glybenclamide blocked the phase 1 relaxation. In conclusion 1) phase 1 contraction is endothelium dependent, whereas phase 2 contraction is endothelium independent; 2) phase 1 contraction is neither dependent on extracellular calcum influx nor on intracellular calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum but phase 2 contraction is dependent on extracellular Ca2+ influx and appears to depend upon protein kinase C activation as well; 3) phase 1 relaxation does not appear to be mediated by an EDRF; and 4) neither PGI2 nor A2 receptor binding are involved in the phase 1 relaxation nor do ATP-dependent K+ channels appear to be involved in the pulmonary arterial muscle hypoxic response.
