Regulation of calcium current by intracellular calcium in smooth muscle cells of rabbit portal vein.
Effects of concentrations of intracellular calcium, [Ca2+]i, on the voltage-dependent Ca2+ current (ICa) recorded from dispersed single smooth muscle cells of the rabbit portal vein were studied, using a whole cell voltage clamp method combined with an intracellular perfusion technique. Outward currents were minimized by replacement of Cs+ -rich solution in the pipette and 20 mM tetraethylammon...
متن کاملCalcium-Induced Calcium Release in Smooth Muscle
Calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) has been observed in cardiac myocytes as elementary calcium release events (calcium sparks) associated with the opening of L-type Ca(2+) channels. In heart cells, a tight coupling between the gating of single L-type Ca(2+) channels and ryanodine receptors (RYRs) underlies calcium release. Here we demonstrate that L-type Ca(2+) channels activate RYRs to pro...
متن کاملPhysiological Evidence for Multiple Calcium Sites in Smooth Muscle
Inherent smooth muscle tone and acetylcholine-induced contractions of the isolated longitudinal muscle from guinea pig ileum are inhibited by 1.2 M ethanol. The inhibitions are antagonized by high concentrations of calcium ion in the external medium. Previous work has indicated that an acetylcholine-induced increase in potassium efflux from the ileal muscle is also inhibited by ethanol and reac...

متن کاملLipopolysaccharides upregulate calcium concentration in mouse uterine smooth muscle cells through the T-type calcium channels.
Infection is a significant cause of preterm birth. Abnormal changes in intracellular calcium signals are the ultimate triggers of early uterine contractions that result in preterm birth. T‑type calcium channels play an important role in the pathogenesis of cancer, as well as endocrine and cardiovascular diseases. However, there are limited studies on their role in uterine contractions and partu...
