Abstract:
Objective To study the release of synthetic gene expression induced by vasopressin Ⅱ (U Ⅱ ) in hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. Methods Rat model of HPH was establish. RIA was used to observe the different time points of hypoxia in plasma and the dynamic changes of U Ⅱ , ADM content in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). The impact of the release of U Ⅱ , as well as the relation-ship among U Ⅱ , ADM and HPH were explored to reveal the role of U Ⅱ in the pathophysiology of HPH. Results Rat HPH model was successfully established. Hypoxia promoted the expression, synthesis and release of U Ⅱ in lung tissue. U Ⅱ involved in the pathogenesis of HPH. HPH took place in the development of U Ⅱand was positive correlated with ADM. Conclusion The two peptides have opposite physiological effects on blood vessel, which suggest that these two peptides play an important role in maintaining the balance between the pul-monary circulation and lung ventilation as well as the stability of pulmonary artery pressure.
