Cyclic AMP modulation of adrenoreceptor-mediated arterial smooth muscle contraction
We examined the effects of cyclic AMP (cAMP) on the intracellular Ca2+ release in both the intact and skinned arterial smooth muscle. The amount of Ca2+ in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was estimated indirectly by caffeine-induced contraction of the skinned preparation and directly by caffeine-stimulated 45Ca efflux from the previously labeled skinned preparation. The norepinephrine-induced r...
متن کاملConcentration, and Contraction of Arterial Smooth Muscle
Na-Ca exchange is proposed to be an important regulator of myoplasmic intracellular Ca concentration ([Ca]|) and contraction in vascular smooth muscle. We investigated the role of Na-Ca exchange in regulating [Ca], in swine carotid arterial tissues that were loaded with aequorin to allow simultaneous measurement of [Ca], and force. Reversal of Na-Ca exchange, by reduction of extracellular Na co...
متن کاملDibutyryl cyclic AMP and forskolin inhibit phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis, Ca2+ influx and contraction in vascular smooth muscle.
Dibutyryl cyclic AMP and forskolin inhibited the contraction induced by norepinephrine (NE) more strongly than the high K(+)-induced contraction in isolated rat aorta. These inhibitors inhibited the 45Ca2+ influx stimulated by NE but not that by high K+, and they inhibited NE-induced inositol monophosphate accumulation. These results suggest that cAMP inhibits NE-induced contraction, at least p...
متن کاملRegulator of Sustained Swine Arterial Smooth Muscle Contraction
Sustained smooth muscle contraction has been proposed to be regulated by either 1) sustained increases in intracellular Ca concentration ([Ca],)-dependent myosin phosphorylation or 2) diacylglycerol-dependent protein klnase C activation. We measured diacylglycerol mass with the diacylglycerol kinase assay and myoplasmic [Ca] with aequorin in swine carotid medial smooth muscle. Sustained and sig...
متن کاملRegulation of contraction and relaxation in arterial smooth muscle.
Intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i)-dependent activation of myosin light chain kinase and its phosphorylation of the 20-kd light chain of myosin is generally considered the primary mechanism responsible for regulation of contractile force in arterial smooth muscle. However, recent data suggest that the relation between [Ca2+]i and myosin light chain phosphorylation is variable and dep...
