Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and Ca(2+) clearance proteins in smooth muscle: a functional unit.
The Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase (NKA) can affect intracellular Ca(2+) concentration regulation via coupling to the Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger and may be important in myogenic tone. We previously reported that in mice carrying a transgene for the NKA alpha(2)-isoform in smooth muscle (alpha(2sm+)), the alpha(2)-isoform protein as well as the alpha(1)-isoform (not contained in the transgene) increased to simil...
متن کاملO-10: A Marked Animal-Vegetal Polarity in The Localization of Na+,K+-ATPase Activity and Its Down-Regulation Following Progesterone-Induced Maturation
Background: Polarized cells are key to the process of differentiation. Xenopus oocyte is a polarized cell that has complete blue-print to differentiate 3 germ layers following fertilization, as key determinant molecules (Proteins and RNAs) are asymmetrically localized. The objective of this work was to localize Na+, K+-ATPase activity along animal-vegetal axis of polarized Xenopus oocyte and fo...
متن کاملCa2+ clearance in smooth muscle: lessons from gene-altered mice.
The regulation of intracellular [Ca(2+)](i) is important for all cells, but in particular for smooth muscle, as [Ca(2+)](i) is a key second messenger leading to contraction. Mechanisms for the cellular clearance of [Ca(2+)](i) form one side of Ca(2+) homeostasis and include: Plasma Membrane Ca(2+) ATPases (PMCA), Sarcoplasmic/Endoplasmic Reticulum Ca(2+) ATPases (SERCA), Na(+)-Ca(2+)-exchangers...
متن کاملNa+, K(+)-adenosine triphosphatase regulation in hypertrophied vascular smooth muscle cells.
Vascular smooth muscle cell hypertrophy is a normal compensatory state that may play a pathogenic role in hypertension. Angiotensin II stimulates a hypertrophic response in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells. As part of the growth response, angiotensin II rapidly activates the Na(+)-H+ exchanger, increasing Na+ influx. Because Na+, K(+)-ATPase is the major cellular mechanism for regulating i...
متن کاملEffect of different levels of salinity on immunolocalization of Na+-K+ ATPase and Aquaporin 3 in kidney of common carp Cyprinus carpio
Cyprinus carpio is a stenohaline species but can tolerate some ranges of changes in environmental salinities, so histomorphological methods and Na+-K+ ATPase and Aquaporin 3 immunohistochemistry were performed on common carp kidney as an osmoregulatory organ in experimental groups and control in order to investigate their possible roles during salinity challenge. Five groups of fish (n=25) with...
