Hypoxic induction of Ca2+-dependent action potentials in small pulmonary arteries of the cat

D. R. Harder, J. A. Madden and C. Dawson

Small pulmonary arteries (less than 300 micron) from cats were mounted in myographs to record mechanical and electrical responses to hypoxia. When these preparations were exposed to a PO2 of 30-50 Torr after equilibration at 300 Torr they consistently developed active force, which increased or decreased in amplitude as [Ca2+] was raised or lowered, respectively, and was blocked on addition of verapamil. Intracellular electrical recording with glass microelectrodes demonstrated membrane depolarization and action potential generation when PO2 was lowered. Steady-state voltage vs. applied current curves obtained before and during hypoxia showed a significant reduction in input resistance. The relationship between membrane potential and extracellular K+ was not different during hypoxia compared with control, suggesting that there were not marked changes in K+ permeability under this condition. In the presence of verapamil to block Ca2+ inward current the hypoxia-induced action potentials were abolished concomitant with partial membrane repolarization. The results of these studies suggest that in certain isolated pulmonary arteries hypoxia induces contraction by a mechanism involving an increased Ca2+ conductance. These data suggest that the sensor involved in hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction may lie within the vessel wall and somehow mediates changes in smooth muscle ionic conductances.
