Cell culture retains contractile phenotype but epigenetically modulates cell-signaling proteins of excitation-contraction coupling in colon smooth muscle cells.
Smooth muscle cell cultures are used frequently to investigate the cellular mechanisms of contraction. We tested the hypothesis that cell culture alters the expression of select cell-signaling proteins of excitation-contraction coupling in colon smooth muscle cells without altering the contractile phenotype. We used muscularis externa (ME) tissues, freshly dispersed cells (FC), primary cell cul...
متن کاملMuscarinic excitation-contraction coupling mechanisms in tracheal and bronchial smooth muscles.
We investigated the mechanisms underlying muscarinic excitation-contraction coupling in canine airway smooth muscle using organ bath, fura 2 fluorimetric, and patch-clamp techniques. Cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) augmented the responses to submaximal muscarinic stimulation in both tracheal (TSM) and bronchial smooth muscles (BSM), consistent with disruption of the barrier function of the sarcoplasmi...
متن کاملEffects of chronic portal hypertension on agonist-induced actin polymerization in small mesenteric arteries.
The ability of arterial smooth muscle to respond to vasoconstrictor stimuli is reduced in chronic portal hypertension (PHT). Additional evidence supports the existence of a postreceptor defect in vascular smooth muscle excitation contraction coupling. However, the nature of this defect is unclear. Recent studies have shown that vasoconstrictor stimuli induce actin polymerization in smooth muscl...
متن کاملExcitation-contraction coupling in pulmonary vascular smooth muscle involves tyrosine kinase and Rho kinase.
We investigated the mechanisms that underlie the responses to norepinephrine (NE) and thromboxane (Tx) A(2) (TxA2) in the canine pulmonary vasculature with fura 2 fluorimetric, intracellular microelectrode, and force transduction techniques. KCl, caffeine, and cyclopiazonic acid elevated intracellular Ca2+ concentration levels and tone, indicating that Ca2+ mobilization is sufficient to produce...

Tao, Liang, Yu Huang, and Jean-Pierre Bourreau. Control of the mode of excitation-contraction coupling by Ca stores in bovine trachealis muscle. Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 279: L722–L732, 2000.—Full muscarinic stimulation in bovine tracheal smooth muscle caused a sustained contraction and increase in intracellular Ca concentration ([Ca]i) that was largely resistant to inhibition by nife...
