The intermittent rise in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i oscillation) has been observed in many types of isolated cells, yet it has not been demonstrated whether it plays an essential role during nerve stimulation in situ. We used confocal microscopy to study Ca2+ transients in individual smooth muscle cells in situ within the wall of small arteries stimulated with perivascular sympathetic nerves or noradrenaline. We show here that the sympathetic adrenergic regulation of arterial smooth muscle cells involves the oscillation of [Ca2+]i that propagates within the cell in the form of a wave. Ca2+ release from intracellular stores plays a key role in the oscillation because it is blocked after the store depletion by ryanodine treatment. Ca2+ influx through the plasma membrane sustains the oscillation by replenishing the Ca2+ stores. These results demonstrate the involvement of [Ca2+]i oscillations in the neural regulation of effector cells within the integrated system. 相似文献

Physiological concentrations of [Arg(8)]vasopressin (AVP; 10-500 pM) stimulate oscillations of cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration (Ca2+ spikes) in A7r5 vascular smooth muscle cells. We previously reported that this effect of AVP was blocked by a putative phospholipase A2 (PLA2) inhibitor, ONO-RS-082 (5 microM). In the present study, the products of PLA2, arachidonic acid (AA), and lysophospholipids were found to be ineffective in stimulating Ca2+ spiking, and inhibitors of AA metabolism did not prevent AVP-stimulated Ca2+ spiking. Thin layer chromatography was used to monitor the release of AA and phosphatidic acid (PA), which are the products of PLA2 and phospholipase D (PLD), respectively. AVP (100 pM) stimulated both AA and PA formation, but only PA formation was inhibited by ONO-RS-082 (5 microM). Exogenous PLD (type VII; 2.5 U/ml) stimulated Ca2+ spiking equivalent to the effect of 100 pM AVP. AVP stimulated transphosphatidylation of 1-butanol (a PLD-catalyzed reaction) but not 2-butanol, and 1-butanol (but not 2-butanol) completely prevented AVP-stimulated Ca2+ spiking. Protein kinase C (PKC) inhibition, which completely prevents AVP-stimulated Ca2+ spiking, did not inhibit AVP-stimulated phosphatidylbutanol formation. These results suggest that AVP-stimulated Ca2+ spiking depends on activation of PLD rather than PLA2 and that PKC activation may be downstream of PLD in the signaling cascade. 相似文献

The effect of neuropeptide Y (NPY) on cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was studied in cultured smooth muscle cells from porcine aorta (PASMC) and compared with the effect of bradykinin (BK) and angiotensin II (ATII) on [Ca2+]i. All peptides induced dose-dependent and transient rises in [Ca2+]i which were not blocked by extracellular EGTA, but the NPY response was different from the others' as follows. First, the [Ca2+]i rise induced by NPY was not as rapid as that induced by BK or ATII. Second, pertussis toxin abolished the [Ca2+]i rise induced by NPY, but not by BK or ATII. Third, following initial treatment with BK, PASMC were able to respond to NPY, but not to ATII. Finally, BK and ATII, but not NPY, significantly increased inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) generation. Although NPY attenuated forskolin-induced accumulation of cyclic AMP, forskolin- and 3-isobutyl-1-methyl-xanthine-induced alterations in intracellular cyclic AMP did not affect the NPY-induced [Ca2+]i rise. These results suggest that NPY increases [Ca2+]i by a pertussis toxin-sensitive GTP binding protein-involved mechanism which is not mediated by the intracellular messengers such as Ins(1,4,5)P3 and cyclic AMP. 相似文献

In smooth muscle, release via the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P(3)R) and ryanodine receptors (RyR) on the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) controls oscillatory and steady-state cytosolic Ca(2+) concentrations ([Ca(2+)](c)). The interplay between the two receptors, itself determined by their organization on the SR, establishes the time course and spatial arrangement of the Ca(2+) signal. Whether or not the receptors are co-localized or distanced from each other on the same store or whether they exist on separate stores will significantly affect the Ca(2+) signal produced by the SR. To date these matters remain unresolved. The functional arrangement of the RyR and Ins(1,4,5)P(3)R on the SR has now been examined in isolated single voltage-clamped colonic myocytes. Depletion of the ryanodine-sensitive store, by repeated application of caffeine, in the presence of ryanodine, abolished the response to Ins(1,4,5)P(3), suggesting that Ins(1,4,5)P(3)R and RyR share a common Ca(2+) store. Ca(2+) release from the Ins(1,4,5)P(3)R did not activate Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release at the RyR. Depletion of the Ins(1,4,5)P(3)-sensitive store, by the removal of external Ca(2+), on the other hand, caused only a small decrease ( approximately 26%) in caffeine-evoked Ca(2+) transients, suggesting that not all RyR exist on the common store shared with Ins(1,4,5)P(3)R. Dependence of the stores on external Ca(2+) for replenishment also differed; removal of external Ca(2+) depleted the Ins(1,4,5)P(3)-sensitive store but caused only a slight reduction in caffeine-evoked transients mediated at RyR. Different mechanisms are presumably responsible for the refilling of each store. Refilling of both Ins(1,4,5)P(3)-sensitive and caffeine-sensitive Ca(2+) stores was inhibited by each of the SR Ca(2+) ATPase inhibitors thapsigargin and cyclopiazonic acid. These results may be explained by the existence of two functionally distinct Ca(2+) stores; the first expressing only RyR and refilled from [Ca(2+)](c), the second expressing both Ins(1,4,5)P(3)R and RyR and dependent upon external Ca(2+) for refilling. 相似文献

Ca2+ extrusion was measured simultaneously with the free intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) from single pancreatic acinar cells placed in microdroplets of extracellular solution (Tepikin, A. V., Voronina, S. G., Gallacher, D. V., and Petersen, O. H. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 3569-3572). Submaximal stimulation with cholecystokinin usually evoked discrete cytosolic Ca2+ spikes and each of these spikes was associated with a discrete and virtually synchronous pulse of Ca2+ extrusion into the extracellular microdroplet solution. When ACh evoked repetitive discrete [Ca2+]i spikes, each spike was also accompanied by a discrete pulse of Ca2+ extrusion. The velocity of Ca2+ extrusion oscillated with a time course similar to that of [Ca2+]i. The extracellular solution in our experiments had a low total calcium concentration (15-35 microM) and only a limited number of [Ca2+]i spikes (2-8) could be evoked. The magnitudes of the [Ca2+]i spikes and the amounts of Ca2+ extruded during each spike gradually decreased in each experiment. During the first cholecystokinin-evoked cytosolic Ca2+ spike the Ca2+ extrusion corresponded to a loss of 15-70% (mean value 39% +/- 12) of the mobilizable cellular calcium pool. The substantial pulsatile Ca2+ extrusion occurring synchronously with the receptor-activated cytosolic Ca2+ spikes is therefore an important element in repetitively bringing back [Ca2+]i to the resting level. 相似文献

The Ca2+ release from intracellular Ca2+ storage sites of skinned single smooth muscle cells isolated from guinea-pig taenia caeci was studied. The Ca2+ release from intracellular Ca2+ storage sites of the skinned single cells was enhanced by the presence of submicromolar concentrations of Ca2+ in the solution. The Ca2+ release was enhanced by caffeine and adenine, and suppressed by Mg2+ and procaine. These results suggest that the Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release mechanism may play an important role in the release of Ca2+ from intracellular storage sites of guinea-pig taenia caeci smooth muscle cells. 相似文献

Although it iswell known that progesterone alters uterine contractility and plays animportant role in maintenance of pregnancy, the biochemical mechanismsby which progesterone alters uterine contractility in human gestationare less clear. In this investigation we sought to identifyprogesterone-induced adaptations in human myometrial smooth musclecells that may alter Ca2+signaling in response to contractile agents. Cells were treated withvehicle or the progesterone analog medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA)for 5 days, and intracellular freeCa2+ concentration([Ca2+]i)was quantified after treatment with oxytocin (OX) or endothelin (ET)-1.OX- and ET-1-induced increases in[Ca2+]iwere significantly attenuated in cells pretreated with MPA in adose-dependent manner. Progesterone receptor antagonists prevented theattenuated Ca2+ transients inducedby MPA. ETA andETB receptor subtypes were expressed in myometrial cells, and treatment with MPA resulted insignificant downregulation of ETAand ETB receptor binding. MPA didnot alter ionomycin-stimulated increases in[Ca2+]iand had no effect on inositol trisphosphate-dependent or -independent release of Ca2+ from internalCa2+ stores. We conclude thatadaptations of Ca2+ homeostasis inmyometrial cells during pregnancy may include progesterone-inducedmodification of receptor-mediated increases in[Ca2+]i. 相似文献

The aim of this review is to summarize some current aspects on the membrane mechanisms of energy-independent Ca2+ transport in the smooth muscles. The emphasis is placed on the characteristics of voltage-gated and receptor-operated calcium channels of plasma membrane and two major Ca2+ release channels of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum: one is activated by IP3 and sensitive to heparin and the other by Ca2+ and sensitive to ryanodine. A brief discussion of the electro- and pharmacomechanical coupling mechanisms in the smooth muscle is given. 相似文献

The kinetics of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in rat small mesenteric arteries was investigated by confocal laser scanning microscopy using the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator fluo-3 AM. One micromole noradrenaline (NA) induced randomly distributed transient elevations of [Ca2+]i in several single VSMCs which were weakly temporally coupled. Higher NA concentrations of 3 or 10 microM, however, induced strongly synchronised [Ca2+]i oscillations in VSMCs. In preparations with intact endothelium, the synchronisation of [Ca2+]i signals was attenuated by acetylcholine (ACh) but augmented by the NO synthase antagonist L-NAME, pointing to a desynchronising effect of the endothelium even under basal conditions. In preparations with or without intact endothelium sodium nitroprusside (SNP) as well as the gap-junction uncoupler heptanol reversibly desynchronised the [Ca2+]i transients. The effect of ACh but not that of SNP was influenced by L-NAME. Propagated intracellular [Ca2+]i waves had a velocity of 25 microm/s. The phase shift of [Ca2+]i oscillations between single VSMCs were maximally 2s and independent of the distance of up to 90 microm between individual cells. Therefore, we consider intercellular [Ca2+]i waves to be too slow to account for the synchronisation of [Ca2+]i oscillations.We conclude that the coupling of [Ca2+]i signals in vascular smooth muscle cells is not constant but highly regulated by NA and by endothelium derived NO. Oscillations of vessel contraction at high sympathetic tone may be induced by synchronisation of [Ca2+]i transients of distinct VSMCs whereas endothelium derived NO inhibits vasomotion by desynchronising [Ca2+]i transients of single VSMCs. 相似文献

Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) is released in high concentrations into gastric juice, but its direct effect on gastric smooth muscles has not been studied yet. We undertook studies on TRH effect on gastric smooth muscle using contraction and patch clamp methods. TRH was found to inhibit both acetylcholine- and BaCl2-induced contractions of gastric strips. TRH, applied to single cells, inhibited the voltage-dependent Ca2+ currents and activated the whole-cell K+ currents. The TRH-induced changes in K+ currents and membrane potential were effectively abolished by inhibitors of either intracellular Ca2+ release channels or phospholipase C. Neither activators, nor blockers of protein kinase C could affect the action of TRH on K+ currents. In conclusion, TRH activates K+ channels via inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate-induced release of Ca2+ in the direction to the plasma membrane, which in turn leads to stimulation of the Ca2+-sensitive K+ conductance, membrane hyperpolarization and relaxation. The data imply that TRH may act physiologically as a local modulator of gastric smooth muscle tone. 相似文献

Neurotrophins [e.g., brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin 4 (NT4)], known to affect neuronal structure and function, are expressed in nonneuronal tissues including the airway. However, their function is unclear. We examined the effect of acute vs. prolonged neurotrophin exposure on regulation of airway smooth muscle (ASM) intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)): sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) release and Ca(2+) influx (specifically store-operated Ca(2+) entry, SOCE). Human ASM cells were incubated for 30 min in medium (control) or 1 or 10 nM BDNF, NT3, or NT4 (acute exposure) or overnight in 1 nM BDNF, NT3, or NT4 (prolonged exposure) and imaged after loading with the Ca(2+) indicator fura-2 AM. [Ca(2+)](i) responses to ACh, histamine, bradykinin, and caffeine and SOCE following SR Ca(2+) depletion were compared across cell groups. Force measurements were performed in human bronchial strips exposed to neurotrophins. Basal [Ca(2+)](i), peak responses to all agonists, SOCE, and force responses to ACh and histamine were all significantly enhanced by both acute and prolonged BDNF exposure (smaller effect of NT4) but decreased by NT3. Inhibition of the BDNF/NT4 receptor trkB by K252a prevented enhancement of [Ca(2+)](i) responses. ASM cells showed positive immunostaining for BDNF, NT3, NT4, trkB, and trkC (NT3 receptor). These novel data demonstrate that neurotrophins influence ASM [Ca(2+)](i) and force regulation and suggest a potential role for neurotrophins in airway diseases. 相似文献

In smooth muscle, Ca(2+) controls diverse activities including cell division, contraction and cell death. Of particular significance in enabling Ca(2+) to perform these multiple functions is the cell's ability to localize Ca(2+) signals to certain regions by creating high local concentrations of Ca(2+) (microdomains), which differ from the cytoplasmic average. Microdomains arise from Ca(2+) influx across the plasma membrane or release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) store. A single Ca(2+) channel can create a microdomain of several micromolar near (approximately 200 nm) the channel. This concentration declines quickly with peak rates of several thousand micromolar per second when influx ends. The high [Ca(2+)] and the rapid rates of decline target Ca(2+) signals to effectors in the microdomain with rapid kinetics and enable the selective activation of cellular processes. Several elements within the cell combine to enable microdomains to develop. These include the brief open time of ion channels, localization of Ca(2+) by buffering, the clustering of ion channels to certain regions of the cell and the presence of membrane barriers, which restrict the free diffusion of Ca(2+). In this review, the generation of microdomains arising from Ca(2+) influx across the plasma membrane and the release of the ion from the SR Ca(2+) store will be discussed and the contribution of mitochondria and the Golgi apparatus as well as endogenous modulators (e.g. cADPR and channel binding proteins) will be considered. 相似文献

Phosphoinositide (3,5)-bisphosphate [PI(3,5)P(2)] is a newly identified phosphoinositide that modulates intracellular Ca(2+) by activating ryanodine receptors (RyRs). Since the contractile state of arterial smooth muscle depends on the concentration of intracellular Ca(2+), we hypothesized that by mobilizing sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) stores PI(3,5)P(2) would increase intracellular Ca(2+) in arterial smooth muscle cells and cause vasocontraction. Using immunohistochemistry, we found that PI(3,5)P(2) was present in the mouse aorta and that exogenously applied PI(3,5)P(2) readily entered aortic smooth muscle cells. In isolated aortic smooth muscle cells, exogenous PI(3,5)P(2) elevated intracellular Ca(2+), and it also contracted aortic rings. Both the rise in intracellular Ca(2+) and the contraction caused by PI(3,5)P(2) were prevented by antagonizing RyRs, while the majority of the PI(3,5)P(2) response was intact after blockade of inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptors. Depletion of SR Ca(2+) stores with thapsigargin or caffeine and/or ryanodine blunted the Ca(2+) response and greatly attenuated the contraction elicited by PI(3,5)P(2). The removal of extracellular Ca(2+) or addition of verapamil to inhibit voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels reduced but did not eliminate the Ca(2+) or contractile responses to PI(3,5)P(2). We also found that PI(3,5)P(2) depolarized aortic smooth muscle cells and that LaCl(3) inhibited those aspects of the PI(3,5)P(2) response attributable to extracellular Ca(2+). Thus, full and sustained aortic contractions to PI(3,5)P(2) required the release of SR Ca(2+), probably via the activation of RyR, and also extracellular Ca(2+) entry via voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels. 相似文献
