متن کاملLow intravascular pressure activates endothelial cell TRPV4 channels, local Ca2+ events, and IKCa channels, reducing arteriolar tone.
Endothelial cell (EC) Ca(2+)-activated K channels (SK(Ca) and IK(Ca) channels) generate hyperpolarization that passes to the adjacent smooth muscle cells causing vasodilation. IK(Ca) channels focused within EC projections toward the smooth muscle cells are activated by spontaneous Ca(2+) events (Ca(2+) puffs/pulsars). We now show that transient receptor potential, vanilloid 4 channels (TRPV4 ch...
متن کاملNitric Oxide–Dependent Feedback Loop Regulates Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) Channel Cooperativity and Endothelial Function in Small Pulmonary Arteries
BACKGROUND Recent studies demonstrate that spatially restricted, local Ca2+ signals are key regulators of endothelium-dependent vasodilation in systemic circulation. There are drastic functional differences between pulmonary arteries (PAs) and systemic arteries, but the local Ca2+ signals that control endothelium-dependent vasodilation of PAs are not known. Localized, unitary Ca2+ influx events...
متن کاملCa2+ channels in retinal pigment epithelial cells regulate vascular endothelial growth factor secretion rates in health and disease
PURPOSE Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is the most severe complication in age-related macular degeneration. The major angiogenic factor involved is vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secreted by the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Since RPE cells express neuroendocrine L-type Ca2+ channels we investigated their involvement in VEGF secretion in normal RPE cells and RPE cells from pa...
متن کاملTRPV4 channels mediate cyclic strain-induced endothelial cell reorientation through integrin-to-integrin signaling.
Cyclic mechanical strain produced by pulsatile blood flow regulates the orientation of endothelial cells lining blood vessels and influences critical processes such as angiogenesis. Mechanical stimulation of stretch-activated calcium channels is known to mediate this reorientation response; however, the molecular basis remains unknown. Here, we show that cyclically stretching capillary endothel...
