Duza, Tasmia, and Ingrid H. Sarelius. Conducted dilations initiated by purines in arterioles are endothelium dependent and require endothelial Ca2 . Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 285: H26–H37, 2003. First published March 13, 2003; 10.1152/ajpheart.00788.2002.—The signaling pathways underlying the regulation of vascular resistance by purines in intact microvessels and particularly in communication of remote vasomotor responses are unclear. One process by which remote regions of arterioles communicate is via transmission of signals axially along the vessel wall. In this study, we identified a pathway for local and conducted dilations initiated by purines. Adenosine (Ado) or ATP (bind P1 and P2 purinergic receptors, respectively) was micropipette applied to arterioles (maximum diameter 40 m) in the cheek pouch of anesthetized hamsters. Observations were made at the site of stimulation (local) or 1,200 m upstream along the same vessel. P2 antagonists (pyridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2 ,4 -disulfonic acid tetrasodium and suramin) inhibited local constriction to ATP, whereas local and upstream dilations were unaffected. In contrast, during inhibition of P1 receptors (with xanthine amine congener) the local constriction was unchanged, whereas both local and upstream dilations to ATP were inhibited. Hydrolysis of ATP to Ado is implicated in the dilator response as blocking 5 -ectonucleotidase (with , -methyleneadenosine 5 -diphosphate) attenuated ATP-induced dilations. After endothelium denudation, constriction to ATP was unchanged, but dilations to both ATP and Ado were inhibited, identifying endothelial cells (ECs) as the primary target for P1-mediated dilation. Purines increased EC Ca2 locally and upstream. Chelation of EC Ca2 (with BAPTA) abolished the local and upstream dilations to P1 receptor stimulation. Collectively, these data demonstrate that stimulation of P1 receptors on ECs produces a vasodilation that spreads to remote regions. There is an associated increase in EC Ca2 , which is a required signaling intermediate in the manifestation of both the local and axially communicated arteriolar dilations.

Propagated endothelial Ca2+ waves and arteriolar dilation in vivo: measurements in Cx40BAC GCaMP2 transgenic mice.

To study endothelial cell (EC)- specific Ca(2+) signaling in vivo we engineered transgenic mice in which the Ca(2+) sensor GCaMP2 is placed under control of endogenous connexin40 (Cx40) transcription regulatory elements within a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC), resulting in high sensor expression in arterial ECs, atrial myocytes, and cardiac Purkinje fibers. High signal/noise Ca(2+) signa...

Endothelium dependence of dilation of pial arterioles in mouse brain by calcium ionophore.

Previous studies have shown that local selective in situ injury of pial arteriolar endothelium eliminates the dilations produced by acetylcholine or bradykinin. One means of producing such injury employs a helium-neon laser in the presence of intravascular Evans blue. Since the endothelium-dependent dilations produced by acetylcholine or bradykinin may be initiated by interaction with endotheli...

Which connexins connect?

Electrical signaling via gap junctions modulates vascular function via 2 physiologically interrelated mechanisms, namely dilations/constrictions that propagate longitudinally along the vessel wall,1–4 and the EDHF phenomenon, in which relaxation is facilitated by the transmission of endothelial hyperpolarization to smooth muscle via a radial myoendothelial pathway.5 Gap junctions are composed f...
