Regulation of proliferation and membrane potential by chloride currents in rat pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells.
Pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) proliferation contributes to increased pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary hypertension. Because proliferation depends on membrane potential (V(m)) and because V(m) is, in part, determined by Cl(-) currents (I(Cl)), we examined the effects of I(Cl) inhibition with 4,4;-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2;-disulfonic acid (DIDS) on cultured rat PASMCs...
متن کاملMitochondria-dependent regulation of Kv currents in rat pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells
Voltage-gated K(+) (Kv) channels are important in the regulation of pulmonary vascular function having both physiological and pathophysiological implications. The pulmonary vasculature is essential for reoxygenation of the blood, supplying oxygen for cellular respiration. Mitochondria have been proposed as the major oxygen-sensing organelles in the pulmonary vasculature. Using electrophysiologi...
متن کاملWhole-cell and single-channel calcium currents of isolated smooth muscle cells from saphenous vein.
Whole-cell and single-channel calcium currents in enzymatically isolated dog saphenous vein cells were recorded by the patch-clamp method. Test pulses to negative potentials from holding potentials of -90 to -40 mV elicited currents that inactivated quickly and in a voltage-dependent manner (called I low for low threshold). A second calcium current persisted even at relatively positive holding ...
متن کاملDistribution of alpha-actinin in single isolated smooth muscle cells
In order to probe the organization of the contractile machinery in smooth muscle, we have studied the distribution of alpha-actinin, a protein present in high concentration in dense bodies, structures apparently analogous to the Z-disks of striated muscle. Localization of alpha-actinin in single isolated smooth muscle cells of the stomach muscularis of Bufo marinus was determined by analysis of...
