The Xanthine Derivative KMUP-1 Attenuates Serotonin-Induced Vasoconstriction and K(+)-Channel Inhibitory Activity via the PKC Pathway in Pulmonary Arteries

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a potent pulmonary vasoconstrictor that promotes pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) proliferation. 5-HT-induced K(+) channel inhibition increases [Ca(2+)](i) in PASMCs, which is a major trigger for pulmonary vasoconstriction and development of pulmon...
