    Abstract

    Pulmonary hypertension (PH) and hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) are associated with the abnormal contraction of the pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC). The cellular electrical activities due to the interaction of various ion channels are the most important determinants of the generation of the vascular tone. We have developed a mathematical model to elucidate the quantitative contribution of the voltage-gated Na+ ion channel to PASMC membrane potential. The voltage-gated Na+ ion channel is built using the classical Hodgkin and Huxley formalism, with the model parameters estimated using experimental data from published literature. The ion channel is then incorporated into a previously published PASMC model to investigate its' modulating effects on the membrane potential. The voltagegated Na+ ion channel conductance alters the resting membrane potential and consequent depolarizations in PASMC. This computational model supports the application of voltage-gated Na+ ion channel inhibitors as new pharmacological targets for PH and HPV.
