Pulmonary hypertension is treated with drugs that stimulate cGMP or cAMP signalling. Both nucleotides can activate Kv7 channels, leading to smooth muscle hyperpolarisation, reduced Ca2+ influx and relaxation. Kv7 activation by cGMP contributes to the pulmonary vasodilator action of nitric oxide, but its contribution when dilation is evoked by the atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) sensitive guanylate cyclase, or cAMP, is unknown. Small vessel myography was used to investigate the ability of Kv7 channel blockers to interfere with pulmonary artery relaxation when cyclic nucleotide pathways were stimulated in different ways. The pan-Kv7 blockers, linopirdine and XE991, caused substantial inhibition of relaxation evoked by NO donors and ANP, as well as endothelium-dependent dilators, the guanylate cyclase stimulator, riociguat, and the phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor, sildenafil. Maximum relaxation was reduced without a change in sensitivity. The blockers had relatively little effect on cAMP-mediated relaxation evoked by forskolin, isoprenaline or treprostinil. The Kv7.1-selective blocker, HMR1556, had no effect on cGMP or cAMP-dependent relaxation. Western blot analysis demonstrated the presence of Kv7.1 and Kv7.4 proteins, while selective activators of Kv7.1 and Kv7.4 homomeric channels, but not Kv7.5, caused pulmonary artery relaxation. It is concluded that Kv7.4 channels contribute to endothelium-dependent dilation and the effects of drugs that act by stimulating cGMP, but not cAMP, signalling.
