In response to hypoxia, the pulmonary artery normally constricts to maintain
optimal ventilation-perfusion matching in the lung, but chronic hypoxia leads to
the development of pulmonary hypertension. The mechanisms of sustained hypoxic
pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) remain unclear. The aim of this study was to
determine the role of gap junctions (GJs) between smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in
the sustained HPV development and involvement of arachidonic acid (AA)
metabolites in GJ-mediated signaling. Vascular tone was measured in bovine
intrapulmonary arteries (BIPAs) using isometric force measurement technique.
Expression of contractile proteins was determined by Western blot. AA metabolites
in the bath fluid were analyzed by mass spectrometry. Prolonged hypoxia elicited
endothelium-independent sustained HPV in BIPAs. Inhibition of GJs by
18?-glycyrrhetinic acid (18?-GA) and heptanol, nonspecific blockers, and Gap-27,
a specific blocker, decreased HPV in deendothelized BIPAs. The sustained HPV was
not dependent on Ca(2+) entry but decreased by removal of Ca(2+) and by
Rho-kinase inhibition with Y-27632. Furthermore, inhibition of GJs decreased
smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (SM-MHC) expression and myosin light chain
phosphorylation in BIPAs. Interestingly, inhibition of 15- and
20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE) synthesis decreased HPV in deendothelized
BIPAs. 15-HETE- and 20-HETE-stimulated constriction of BIPAs was inhibited by
18?-GA and Gap-27. Application of 15-HETE and 20-HETE to BIPAs increased SM-MHC
expression, which was also suppressed by 18?-GA and by inhibitors of lipoxygenase
and cytochrome P450 monooxygenases. More interestingly,
15,20-dihydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid and 20-OH-prostaglandin E2, novel
derivatives of 20-HETE, were detected in tissue bath fluid and synthesis of these
derivatives was almost completely abolished by 18?-GA. Taken together, our novel
findings show that GJs between SMCs are involved in the sustained HPV in BIPAs,
and 15-HETE and 20-HETE, through GJs, appear to mediate SM-MHC expression and
contribute to the sustained HPV development.
