Endothelin blocks ATP-sensitive K+ channels and depolarizes smooth muscle cells of porcine coronary artery.
ATP-sensitive K+ channels with a conductance of 30 pS in smooth muscle cells of porcine coronary artery were found to be highly active in the intact cell-attached patch configuration when the pipette contained a physiological concentration of Ca2+ (greater than 10(-4) M). In the inside-out configuration, these channels were activated by extracellular Ca2+ and blocked by cytosolic ATP and gliben...
متن کاملTRPC1/TRPC3 channels mediate lysophosphatidylcholine-induced apoptosis in cultured human coronary artery smooth muscles cells
The earlier study showed that lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC) induced apoptosis in human coronary artery smooth muscle cells (SMCs); however, the related molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. The present study investigated how lysoPC induces apoptosis in cultured human coronary artery SMCs using cell viability assay, flow cytometry, confocal microscopy, and molecular biological approa...
متن کاملFunctional ion channels in human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells: Voltage-dependent cation channels
The activity of voltage-gated ion channels is critical for the maintenance of cellular membrane potential and generation of action potentials. In turn, membrane potential regulates cellular ion homeostasis, triggering the opening and closing of ion channels in the plasma membrane and, thus, enabling ion transport across the membrane. Such transmembrane ion fluxes are important for excitation-co...
متن کاملSite of anticonvulsant action on sodium channels: autoradiographic and electrophysiological studies in rat brain.
The anticonvulsants phenytoin and carbamazepine interact allosterically with the batrachotoxin binding site of sodium channels. In the present study, we demonstrate an autoradiographic technique to localize the batrachotoxin binding site on sodium channels in rat brain using [3H]batrachotoxinin-A 20-alpha-benzoate (BTX-B). Binding of [3H]BTX-B to brain sections is dependent on potentiating allo...
متن کاملT-type Ca2+ channels in non-vascular smooth muscles.
T-type Ca2+ current has been recorded in smooth muscle myocytes, and associated interstitial cells, isolated from the gastro-intestinal tract, urinary bladder, urethra, prostate gland, myometrium, vas deferens, lymphatic vessels and airways smooth muscle. By contrast, current through such channels has not been recorded from other tissues, such as the ureter. Whilst the properties of this Ca2+ c...
