The mechanism underlying chronic hypoxia (CH)-induced pulmonary venous remodeling remains unclear. Cell proliferation is key in vascular remodeling, and the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) protein contributes to CH-induced pulmonary venous smooth muscle cell (PVSMC) proliferation. In pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells, CaSR and transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) proteins interact, contributing to CH-induced cell proliferation via CaSR-TRPC1/6 signaling. We investigated whether a similar pathway exists in PVSMCs. Rat PVSMCs were isolated and subjected to CH. Cell proliferation was assessed by cell counting, CCK-8, and BrdU incorporation assays. Expression of CaSR and TRPC was analyzed by qPCR and western blotting, while interactions between CaSR and TRPC were detected by co-immunoprecipitation assay. Extracellular Ca
