Alveolar hypoxia acutely elicits pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV). Chronic hypoxia (CH), despite attenuating HPV, causes pulmonary hypertension (CH-PHT). HPV results, in part, from inhibition of O2-sensitive, voltage-gated potassium channels (Kv) in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). CH decreases Kv channel current/expression and depolarizes and causes Ca2+ overload in PASMCs. We hypothesize that Kv gene transfer would normalize the pulmonary circulation (restore HPV and reduce CH-PHT), despite ongoing hypoxia.
