The effects of O2 tension on force in precontracted isolated pulmonary arterial smooth muscle from calf lungs was characterized to investigate the mechanism of O2 tension sensing. These arteries display a decrease in force with increasing O2 tension that is antagonized via inhibition of soluble guanylate cyclase activation by 10 microM methylene blue or inactivation of catalase by pretreatment with 50 mM 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole for 30 min. O2 tension-dependent relaxation is associated with an increase in intracellular H2O2 metabolism through catalase (detected as the peroxide-dependent inactivation of tissue catalase activity by aminotriazole) and cyclic guanosine 5'-monophosphate (cGMP), known mediators of relaxation in calf pulmonary arteries. Thus a recently reconstructed mechanism of activation of soluble guanylate cyclase involving the metabolism of H2O2 by catalase appears to function as an O2 tension sensor in pulmonary arteries.
