Pleiotropic regulation of vascular smooth muscle tone by cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase.
Cyclic GMP (cGMP) mediates vascular smooth muscle relaxation in response to nitric oxide and atrial natriuretic peptides. One mechanism by which cGMP decreases vascular tone is by lowering cytosolic Ca2+ levels in smooth muscle cells. Although mechanisms by which cGMP regulates cytosolic Ca2+ are unclear, an important role for the cGMP-dependent dependent protein kinase in regulating Ca2+ has b...
متن کاملEffects of melittin on endothelium-dependent relaxation and cyclic GMP levels in rat aorta.
The present study investigates the mechanism of endothelium-dependent relaxation of vascular smooth muscle. Melittin, a polypeptide found in honeybee venom and a known activator of phospholipase A2, induced transient, endothelium-dependent relaxations of rat thoracic aortae contracted with norepinephrine. Higher concentrations of melittin induced relaxations followed by contractions. Prior incu...
متن کاملCyclic guanosine monophosphate mediates vascular relaxation induced by atrial natriuretic factor.
The biochemical mechanism of action of synthetic atrial natriuretic factor (atriopeptin II) was studied in vascular smooth muscle of the rabbit thoracic aorta. Atriopeptin II caused a time-dependent and concentration-dependent increase in tissue levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate that corresponded in these same tissues with vascular relaxation. The elevation of arterial cyclic guanosine m...
متن کاملAntagonistic modulatory roles of magnesium and calcium on release of endothelium-derived relaxing factor and smooth muscle tone.
The objective of this study was to elucidate the mechanisms associated with the reciprocal relation between magnesium and calcium on vascular smooth muscle tone in bovine pulmonary artery and vein. Rapid removal of magnesium from Krebs-bicarbonate medium used to bathe isolated rings of precontracted artery or vein caused transient endothelium- and calcium-dependent relaxation and cyclic GMP acc...
متن کاملNitric oxide stimulates elastin expression in chick aortic smooth muscle cells.
Nitric oxide (NO), an endothelium-dependent relaxing factor, regulates relaxation, proliferation, and migration of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and most likely attenuates developing vascular disease such as atherosclerosis. We investigated whether or not NO is associated with regulation of aortic elasticity. S-Nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), a NO donor, stimulated tropoelastin synthesis in cultured SM...
متن کاملNitric oxide and cGMP cause vasorelaxation by activation of a charybdotoxin-sensitive K channel by cGMP-dependent protein kinase.
Nitric oxide (NO)-induced relaxation is associated with increased levels of cGMP in vascular smooth muscle cells. However, the mechanism by which cGMP causes relaxation is unknown. This study tested the hypothesis that activation of Ca-sensitive K (KCa) channels, mediated by a cGMP-dependent protein kinase, is responsible for the relaxation occurring in response to cGMP. In rat pulmonary artery...
