Ca2+-activated Cl- current in retinal arteriolar smooth muscle.
PURPOSE To characterize the biophysical, pharmacologic, and functional properties of the Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) current in retinal arteriolar myocytes. METHODS Whole-cell perforated patch-clamp recordings were made from myocytes within intact isolated arteriolar segments. Arteriolar tone was assessed using pressure myography. RESULTS Depolarizing of voltage steps to -40 mV and greater activ...
متن کاملMechanism of the Inhibition of Ca2+-Activated Cl− Currents by Phosphorylation in Pulmonary Arterial Smooth Muscle Cells
The aim of the present study was to provide a mechanistic insight into how phosphatase activity influences calcium-activated chloride channels in rabbit pulmonary artery myocytes. Calcium-dependent Cl- currents (I(ClCa)) were evoked by pipette solutions containing concentrations between 20 and 1000 nM Ca2+ and the calcium and voltage dependence was determined. Under control conditions with pipe...
متن کاملRole of Ca2+-activated Cl- channels and MLCK in slow IJP in opossum esophageal smooth muscle.
The possible contribution of Ca2+-activated Cl- channel [I(Cl(Ca))] and myosin light-chain kinase (MLCK) to nonadrenergic, noncholinergic slow inhibitory junction potentials (sIJP) was studied using conventional intracellular microelectrode recordings in circular smooth muscle of opossum esophageal body and guinea pig ileum perfused with Krebs solution containing atropine (3 microM), guanethidi...
متن کاملCa2+ currents in cerebral artery smooth muscle cells of rat at physiological Ca2+ concentrations
Single Ca2+ channel and whole cell currents were measured in smooth muscle cells dissociated from resistance-sized (100-microns diameter) rat cerebral arteries. We sought to quantify the magnitude of Ca2+ channel currents and activity under the putative physiological conditions of these cells: 2 mM [Ca2+]o, steady depolarizations to potentials between -50 and -20 mV, and (where possible) withou...
متن کاملAnion Permeation in Ca2+-Activated Cl− Channels
Ca(2+)-activated Cl channels (Cl(Ca)Cs) are an important class of anion channels that are opened by increases in cytosolic [Ca(2+)]. Here, we examine the mechanisms of anion permeation through Cl(Ca)Cs from Xenopus oocytes in excised inside-out and outside-out patches. Cl(Ca)Cs exhibited moderate selectivity for Cl over Na: P(Na)/P(Cl) = 0.1. The apparent affinity of Cl(Ca)Cs for Cl was low: K(...
