Functional Coupling of Ryanodine Receptors to KCa Channels in Smooth Muscle Cells from Rat Cerebral Arteries
The relationship between Ca2+ release ("Ca2+ sparks") through ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ release channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum and KCa channels was examined in smooth muscle cells from rat cerebral arteries. Whole cell potassium currents at physiological membrane potentials (-40 mV) and intracellular Ca2+ were measured simultaneously, using the perforated patch clamp technique and a lase...
متن کاملBAY K 8644 modifies Ca2+cross signaling between DHP and ryanodine receptors in rat ventricular myocytes.
The amplification factor of dihydropyridine (DHP)/ryanodine receptors was defined as the amount of Ca2+ released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) relative to the influx of Ca2+ through L-type Ca2+ channels in rat ventricular myocytes. The amplification factor showed steep voltage dependence at potentials negative to -10 mV but was less dependent on voltage at potentials positive to this val...
متن کاملCross-signaling between L-type Ca2+ channels and ryanodine receptors in rat ventricular myocytes
Calcium-mediated cross-signaling between the dihydropyridine (DHP) receptor, ryanodine receptor, and Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger was examined in single rat ventricular myocytes where the diffusion distance of Ca2+ was limited to < 50 nm by dialysis with high concentrations of Ca2+ buffers. Dialysis of the cell with 2 mM Ca(2+)- indicator dye, Fura-2, or 2 mM Fura-2 plus 14 mM EGTA decreased the magnit...
متن کاملFunctional ryanodine receptors in the membranes of neurohypophysial secretory granules
Highly localized Ca(2+) release events have been characterized in several neuronal preparations. In mouse neurohypophysial terminals (NHTs), such events, called Ca(2+) syntillas, appear to emanate from a ryanodine-sensitive intracellular Ca(2+) pool. Traditional sources of intracellular Ca(2+) appear to be lacking in NHTs. Thus, we have tested the hypothesis that large dense core vesicles (LDCV...
متن کاملAlteration of Ryanodine-receptors in Cultured Rat Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells
Vascular smooth muscle cells can obtain a proliferative function in environments such as atherosclerosis in vivo or primary culture in vitro. Proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells is accompanied by changes in ryanodine receptors (RyRs). In several studies, the cytosolic Ca(2+) response to caffeine is decreased during smooth muscle cell culture. Although caffeine is commonly used to inve...
