From depolarization-dependent contractions in gastrointestinal smooth muscle to aortic pulse-synchronized contractions
For decades, it was believed that the diameter of gastrointestinal smooth muscle cells is sufficiently narrow, and that the diffusion of calcium across the plasma membrane is sufficient, to support contractile activity. Thus, depolarization-triggered release of intracellular calcium was not believed to be operative in gastrointestinal smooth muscle. However, after the incubation of muscle segme...
متن کاملInduced Contractions in Rat Vascular Smooth Muscle
Using front-surface fluorometry, we determined the effects of cocaine on force and cytosolic Ca2' concentration ([Ca2+] ) in the rat aorta. We also examined the effects of cocaine on 45Ca2` influx. Cocaine (10-` to 10` M) alone did not alter the resting level of [Ca2`], and force. Cocaine (<l0-` M), in a concentration-dependent manner, potentiated the 10-6 M serotonin (5-HT)-induced or 10` M no...
متن کاملEndothelium modulates anion channel-dependent aortic contractions to iodide.
Anion currents contribute to vascular smooth muscle (VSM) membrane potential. The substitution of extracellular chloride (Cl) with iodide (I) or bromide (Br) initially inhibited and then potentiated isometric contractile responses of rat aortic rings to norepinephrine. Anion substitution alone produced a small relaxation, which occurred despite a lack of active tone and minimal subsequent contr...
متن کاملPKC delta-isoform translocation and enhancement of tonic contractions of gastrointestinal smooth muscle.
PKC is involved in mediating the tonic component of gastrointestinal smooth muscle contraction in response to stimulation by agonists for G protein-coupled receptors. Here, we present pharmacological and immunohistochemical evidence indicating that a member of the novel PKC isoforms, PKC-delta, is involved in maintaining muscarinic receptor-coupled tonic contractions of the guinea pig ileum. Th...
