Calcium Influx: Beyond ‘Current’ Biology
A novel, cell-surface protein essential for Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channel function has been identified through independent genome-wide screens. This huge advance will enable molecular dissection of the CRAC channel complex, moving the field beyond Icrac signature to structure.
متن کاملInsulin inhibits serotonin-induced Ca2+ influx in vascular smooth muscle.
BACKGROUND Insulin in physiological concentrations attenuates the agonist-induced intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) transient and inhibits contraction in individual nonproliferated cultured canine femoral artery vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). In the present study, we wished to define the effects of insulin on individual components of Ca2+ transport in vascular smooth muscle. METHODS AND RES...
متن کاملCalcium influx and vascular reactivity in systemic hypertension.
Numerous studies have focused on functional vascular changes that characterize the hypertensive state. Recent evidence that suggests that increased vascular reactivity in hypertension is due to changes in the delivery of activator Ca++ through channels in the cell membrane will be reviewed. The primary evidence supporting this hypothesis comes from studies that characterize the effects of Ca++-...
متن کامل[Blood flow sensing mechanism via calcium signaling in vascular endothelium].
The structure and function of blood vessels adapt to environmental changes, for example, physical development and exercise. This phenomenon is based on the ability of endothelial cells (ECs) to sense and respond to blood flow. ECs are in direct contact with blood flow and exposed to shear stress. A number of recent studies have revealed that ECs recognize changes in shear stress and transmit si...
متن کاملHypothermia Inhibits Endothelium-Independent Vascular Contractility via Rho-kinase Inhibition
The present study was undertaken to investigate the influence of hypothermia on endothelium-independent vascular smooth muscle contractility and to determine the mechanism underlying the relaxation. Denuded aortic rings from male rats were used and isometric contractions were recorded and combined with molecular experiments. Hypothermia significantly inhibited fluoride-, thromboxane A2-, phenyl...
