Ca2+ compartments in saponin-skinned cultured vascular smooth muscle cells
A method for saponin skinning of primary cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells was established. The saponin-treated cells could be stained with trypan blue and incorporated more 45Ca2+ than the nontreated cells under the same conditions. At low free Ca2+ concentration, greater than 85% of 45Ca2+ uptake into the skinned cells was dependent on the extracellularly supplied MgATP. In the intact c...
متن کاملCa2+-induced Ca2+ release in cardiac and smooth muscle cells.
Ca(2+) influx across plasma membranes may trigger Ca(2+) release by activating ryanodine-sensitive receptors in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. This process is called Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release, and may be important in regulating cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)). In cardiac cells, the initial [Ca(2+)](i) increase, caused by L-type Ca(2+) current, is profoundly amplified with Ca(2+) r...
متن کاملActin isoform compartments in chicken gizzard smooth muscle cells.
Differentiated smooth muscle cells typically contain a mixture of muscle (alpha and gamma) and cytoplasmic (beta and gamma) actin isoforms. Of the cytoplasmic actins the beta-isoform is the more dominant, making up from 10% to 30% of the total actin complement. Employing an antibody raised against the N-terminal peptide specific to beta-actin, which labels only the beta-isoform on two-dimension...
متن کاملCa2+ movements in smooth muscle.
We describe the Ca2+ movements in smooth muscle cells at rest and during activation and relaxation as deduced from transplasmalemmal Ca2+ fluxes and contractile respnses. The general picture which emerges is: the resting cell has a [Ca2+]cyt below 10(-7) M and large gradients are poised across both the cell membrane and intracellular membranes. Excitation opens up Ca2+ channels which are linked...
متن کاملFocal Ca2+ Transient Detection in Smooth Muscle
Ca2+ imaging of smooth muscle provides insight into cellular mechanisms that may not result in changes of membrane potential, such as the release of Ca2+ from internal stores, and allows multiple cells to be monitored simultaneously to assess, for example, coupling in syncytial tissue. Subcellular Ca2+ transients are common in smooth muscle, yet are difficult to measure accurately because of th...
