Membrane potential as a modulator of the free intracellular Ca2+ concentration in agonist-activated endothelial cells.
We have used combined patch clamp and fura-2 fluorescence to elucidate the role of membrane potential in the regulation of the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in a human umbilical vein derived endothelial cell-line, EA.hy926 (EA cells) stimulated with vasoactive agonists, such as ATP, histamine and bradykinin. This stimulation caused hyperpolarization and sustained Ca2+ plateau in noncla...
متن کاملThe influence of statins on the free intracellular calcium concentration in human umbilical vein endothelial cells
BACKGROUND Statins are cholesterol-lowering drugs that are widely used to reduce the risk of cardiac infarction. Their beneficial clinical effects, however, are not restricted to their influence on cholesterol production. As several studies have shown that they have a potency of relaxing blood vessels. METHODS We measured the effects of statins on the intracellular free calcium concentration ...
متن کاملModulation of intracellular Ca2+ release and capacitative Ca2+ entry by CaMKII inhibitors in bovine vascular endothelial cells.
The effects of inhibitors of CaMKII on intracellular Ca2+ signaling were examined in single calf pulmonary artery endothelial (CPAE) cells using indo-1 microfluorometry to measure cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). The three CaMKII inhibitors, KN-93, KN-62, and autocamtide-2-related inhibitory peptide (AIP), all reduced the plateau phase of the [Ca2+]i transient evoked by stimulation wit...
متن کاملGABAB Receptors Expressed in Human Aortic Endothelial Cells Mediate Intracellular Calcium Concentration Regulation and Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Translocation
GABAB receptors regulate the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in a number of cells (e.g., retina, airway epithelium and smooth muscle), but whether they are expressed in vascular endothelial cells and similarly regulate the [Ca2+]i is not known. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of GABAB receptors, a subclass of receptors to the inhibitory neurotransmitter γ-...
متن کاملLead increases free Ca2+ concentration in cultured osteoblastic bone cells: simultaneous detection of intracellular free Pb2+ by 19F NMR.
Lead (Pb) has been shown to perturb Ca-mediated cellular processes. However, to date, a direct effect of Pb on intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) has not been demonstrated. 19F NMR in combination with 1,2-bis(2-amino-5-fluorophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (5F-BAPTA) was used to simultaneously measure [Ca2+]i and intracellular free Pb2+ concentration ([Pb2+]i) in the rat ...
