چکیده

The mechanism ofthe Bat+-induced contraction was investigated using intact and saponin-treated skinned smooth muscle (skinned muscle) strips of the rabbit mesenteric artery . After depletion of Ca21 stored in the caffeinesensitive site, >0 .65 mM Ba2+ evoked contraction in muscle strips depolarized with 128 mM K+ in Cat+-free solution in a dose-dependent fashion, and the ED50 values for Ca2' and Ba2+ were 0.5 mM and 1 .2 mM in intact muscle strips, respectively . Nisoldipine (10 nM) blocked the contraction evoked by high K+ or 10 jM norepinephrine (NE) in the presence of 2.6 mM Ba2+ , but did not block the contraction evoked in the presence of 2 .6 mM Ca2+ . These results may indicate that Ba2+ permeates the voltage-dependent Ca21 channel . In skinned muscle strips, the ED50 values for Ca2' and Ba2+ were 0 .34 and 90,uM, respectively, as estimated from the pCaand pBa-tension relationships . Calmodulin enhanced and trifluoperazine inhibited the Ba2+ and Ca2'-induced contractions. After the application of Ba2+ or Ca21 with ATP,S in rigor solution, myosin light chain (MLC) was irreversibly thiophosphorylated, as estimated from the Ba2+or Ca2'-independent contraction . Furthermore, both divalent cations phosphorylated MLC, as measured using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, to the extent expected from the amplitudes of the contraction evoked by these cations . Thus, Ba2+ is capable of activating the contractile proteins as Ca2' does . The amount of Ca21 or Ba2+ stored in cells was estimated from the caffeine response evoked in Ca2'-free solution in intact and skinned muscle strips . After the application of 0 .3 jM Ca21 or 0.1 mM Ba2+ for 60 s to skinned muscle strips after the depletion of Ca21 stored in cells, caffeine produced a contraction only upon pretreatment with Ca2+ but not with Ba2+ . When Ba2+ was applied successively just after the application of Ca2+ , the subsequently evoked caffeine-induced contraction was much smaller than that evoked by pretreatment with Ca2' alone . The above results indicate that (a) Ba2+ permeates the voltage-dependent Ca21 channel but may not permeate the receptoroperated Ca21 channel, (b) it releases Ca21 from store sites but is not accumuAddress reprint requests to Dr .

Morphological and functional changes of rabbit mesenteric artery cultured with fetal bovine serum.

The aim of this study was to examine the morphological and functional changes in rabbit mesenteric arterial tissue cultured with fetal bovine serum. In the endothelium-denuded arteries cultured under a serum-free condition for one week (serum-free arteries), morphology of the smooth muscle layer was intact. In the serum-free arteries, high K+ -induced contraction did not change but norepinephri...

Actions of a newly synthesized nitro-compound, E-4701, on rabbit vascular smooth muscles.

The effects of a newly synthesized water soluble and light resistant nitro-compound, E-4701, on the electrical and mechanical properties of smooth muscle cells of rabbit mesenteric and coronary arteries were investigated. In the endothelium-denuded rabbit mesenteric artery, E-4701 relaxed the tissue pre-contracted by noradrenaline (IC50 = 40 microM) to a greater extent than that contracted by h...

Mechanisms of flunarizine-induced vasodilation in the rabbit mesenteric artery.

The vasodilating effects of flunarizine on smooth muscle strips of rabbit mesenteric artery have been investigated and compared with those of nifedipine. Flunarizine (30-300 nM) dose-dependently inhibited Ca2+-induced contractions in Ca2+-free solution containing 100 mM K+. Double reciprocal analysis showed that this inhibition was either competitive at low concentrations (30-100 nM; nifedipine...
