Ouabain modulation of endothelial calcium signaling in descending vasa recta.
Using fura 2-loaded vessels, we tested whether ouabain modulates endothelial cytoplasmic calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](CYT)) in rat descending vasa recta (DVR). Over a broad range between 10(-10) and 10(-4) M, ouabain elicited biphasic peak and plateau [Ca(2+)](CYT) elevations. Blockade of voltage-gated Ca(2+) entry with nifedipine did not affect the response to ouabain mitigating against a r...
متن کاملMembrane potential controls calcium entry into descending vasa recta pericytes.
We tested the hypothesis that constriction of descending vasa recta (DVR) is mediated by voltage-gated calcium entry. K(+) channel blockade with BaCl(2) (1 mM) or TEACl (30 mM) depolarized DVR smooth muscle/pericytes and constricted in vitro-perfused vessels. Pericyte depolarization by 100 mM extracellular KCl constricted DVR and increased pericyte intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)). The K(ATP)...
متن کاملOxygen transport across vasa recta in the renal medulla.
In this model of oxygen transport in the renal medullary microcirculation, we predicted that the net amount of oxygen reabsorbed from vasa recta into the interstitium is on the order of 10(-6) mmol/s, i.e., significantly lower than estimated medullary oxygen requirements based on active sodium reabsorption. Our simulations confirmed a number of experimental findings. Low medullary PO(2) results...
متن کاملRandall plaque versus renal stone?
A 43-year-old patient has just left the office. Her primary care physician had dutifully evaluated her recent complaint of vague abdominal pain with an abdominal ultrasound. The multiple, small, punctate hyperechoic lesions in the kidney were deemed concerning for renal calculi and an abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan was ordered to better delineate these " renal stones ". The CT report r...
متن کاملInhibition of calcium signaling in descending vasa recta endothelia by ANG II.
The intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) response of outer medullary descending vasa recta (OMDVR) endothelia to ANG II was examined in fura 2-loaded vessels. Abluminal ANG II (10(-8) M) caused [Ca(2+)](i) to fall in proportion to the resting [Ca(2+)](i) (r = 0. 82) of the endothelium. ANG II (10(-8) M) also inhibited both phases of the [Ca(2+)](i) response generated by bradykinin (BK, 10(-7) M)...
