Smooth muscle alpha1D-adrenoceptors mediate phenylephrine-induced vasoconstriction and increases in endothelial cell Ca2+ in hamster cremaster arterioles.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE alpha(1)-Adrenoceptor agonists induce Ca(2+)-transients in endothelial cells (ECs) of arterioles. However, the presence of alpha(1)-adrenoceptors on arteriolar ECs has not been excluded, and the identity of alpha(1)-adrenoceptor subtypes in arterioles only has been inferred from pharmacology. Therefore, we determined which subtypes were expressed by vascular smooth muscle...
متن کاملMyogenic contraction in rat skeletal muscle arterioles: smooth muscle membrane potential and Ca(2+) signaling.
The present studies examined relationships between intraluminal pressure, membrane potential (E(m)), and myogenic tone in skeletal muscle arterioles. Using pharmacological interventions targeting Ca(2+) entry/release mechanisms, these studies also determined the role of Ca(2+) pathways and E(m) in determining steady-state myogenic constriction. Studies were conducted in isolated and cannulated ...
متن کاملResolution of smooth muscle and endothelial pathways for conduction along hamster cheek pouch arterioles.
In the cheek pouch of anesthetized male hamsters, microiontophoresis of Ach (endothelium-dependent vasodilator) or phenylephrine (PE; smooth muscle-specific vasoconstrictor) onto an arteriole (resting diameter, 30-40 microm) evokes vasodilation or vasoconstriction (amplitude, 15-25 microm), respectively, that conducts along the arteriolar wall. In previous studies of conduction, endothelial and...
متن کاملOuabain augments Ca(2+) transients in arterial smooth muscle without raising cytosolic Na(+).
Ouabain and other cardiotonic steroids (CTS) inhibit Na(+) pumps and are widely believed to exert their cardiovascular effects by raising the cytosolic Na(+) concentration ([Na(+)](cyt)) and Ca(2+). This view has not been rigorously reexamined despite evidence that low-dose CTS may act without elevating [Na(+)](cyt); also, it does not explain the presence of multiple, functionally distinct isof...
