Chronic hypoxia results in pulmonary hypertension. To investigate the role of Na(superscript+)/H(superscript+) exchange in this process, determined the effect of amiloride, a Na(superscript+)H(superscript+) exchange inhibitor, on hypoxic pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cell proliferation, both in vivo and in vitro. Sprague-Dawley rats ere placed either in a hypobaric, hypoxic chamber (10.5% O2) or under normal 21% O2 atmosphere for 8 h each day for 3 weeks. Rats under hypoxic conditions received 1,3, or 10 mg/kg/d amiloride or the vehicle alone. Hematologic indices, including red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit and mean corpuscular hemoglobin increased in hypoxic rats, but these changes ere prevented by treatment with amiloride. In the hypoxic rats, the right ventricular systolic pressure and right ventricular hypertension index (weight ratio of right ventricular to left and septum together) were increased by 88% and 129%, respectively. Arteriolar all thickness and area in the hypoxia-treated animals increased 3-and 2-fold, respectively, over normoxic controls; the increase in each of these indices as attenuated by amiloride in a dose-dependent manner. In cultured pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells, hypoxia greatly increased cellular proliferation, and this similarly shoed a dose-dependent attenuation in the presence of amiloride. Amiloride did not affect blood pressure in vivo or cause cell damage in vitro. These data suggest that the Na(superscript +)/H(superscript +) exchange inhibitor amiloride ma represent an effective adjunctive therapy in pulmonary hypertension induced b chronic hypoxia.
