The Xanthine Derivative KMUP-1 Inhibits Hypoxia-Induced TRPC1 Expression and Store-Operated Ca2+ Entry in Pulmonary Arterial Smooth Muscle Cells

Zen-Kong Dai, Yi-Chen Chen, Su-Ling Hsieh, Jwu-Lai Yeh, Jong-Hau Hsu, Bin-Nan WuKaohsiung Medical University and Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital. Taiwan PharmaceuticalsPharmaceuticals 2024; 17:DOI: 10.3390/ph17040440 AbstractExposure to hypoxia results in the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). An increase in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) is a major trigger for pulmonary […]
