Purinoceptor-mediated calcium signaling in preglomerular smooth muscle cells.
-The current studies were performed to determine the contribution of calcium mobilization and voltage-dependent calcium influx to the increase in [Ca2+]i elicited by ATP and UTP. Suspensions of freshly isolated smooth muscle cells were prepared from preglomerular microvessels by enzymatic digestion and loaded with the Ca2+-sensitive dye fura 2. The effect of ATP and UTP on [Ca2+]i was studied o...
متن کاملEndothelin-mediated calcium signaling in preglomerular smooth muscle cells.
This study was performed to test the hypothesis that endothelin peptides differentially influence intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in preglomerular microvascular smooth muscle cells (MVSMC), in part through activation of endothelin (ET)(A) receptors. Experiments were performed in vitro with the use of single MVSMC freshly isolated from rat preglomerular microvessels. The effect...
متن کاملCapacitative calcium entry in smooth muscle cells from preglomerular vessels.
Calcium entry via voltage-gated L-type channels is responsible for at least half of the increase in cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]i) in afferent arterioles following agonist stimulation. We sought the presence of capacitative calcium entry in fresh vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) derived from rat preglomerular vessels. [Ca2+]iwas measured using fura-2 ratiometric fluorescence. Vasopressin V1 rec...
متن کاملCalcium signaling in smooth muscle.
Changes in intracellular Ca(2+) are central to the function of smooth muscle, which lines the walls of all hollow organs. These changes take a variety of forms, from sustained, cell-wide increases to temporally varying, localized changes. The nature of the Ca(2+) signal is a reflection of the source of Ca(2+) (extracellular or intracellular) and the molecular entity responsible for generating i...
متن کاملANG II and vasopressin stimulate calcium entry in dispersed smooth muscle cells of preglomerular arterioles.
Calcium signaling mechanisms were examined in vessel segments and dispersed single smooth muscle cells (SMC) of interlobular arteries and afferent arterioles (<50 μm diameter) from the rat kidney. These resistance vessels were isolated from rat kidneys, using an iron oxide-sieving technique with subsequent collagenase digestion. Individual cells were identified by their characteristic oval appe...
