Nitric oxide inhibits Ca(2+) mobilization through cADP-ribose signaling in coronary arterial smooth muscle cells.
The present study was designed to determine whether the cADP-ribose-mediated Ca(2+) signaling is involved in the inhibitory effect of nitric oxide (NO) on intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization. With the use of fluorescent microscopic spectrometry, cADP-ribose-induced Ca(2+) release from sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of bovine coronary arterial smooth muscle cells (CASMCs) was determined. In the alpha...
متن کاملMono-ADP-Ribosylation in Bovine Coronary Arterial Smooth Muscle
The role of endogenous ADP-ribosylation in mediating the activation of the Ca-activated K channels was determined in bovine coronary arteries. Endogenous ADP-ribosylation was examined by incubating coronary arterial homogenates or lysates of cultured coronary arterial smooth muscle cells with [adenylate-P]NAD. Four P-labeled proteins were observed at 51, 52, 80, and 124 kDa in the homogenates a...
متن کاملSecond messengers, ion channels and pharmacology of airway smooth muscle.
The airway smooth muscle cell is the chief effector cell governing the control of airway calibre in the human lung. The contractile state of the airway smooth muscle cell is predominantly influenced by the balance of constrictor and relaxant stimuli. Agents such as histamine and acetylcholine cause airway smooth muscle cells to contract through activation of specific cell surface receptors and ...
متن کاملTanshinone IIA inhibits AGEs-induced proliferation and migration of cultured vascular smooth muscle cells by suppressing ERK1/2 MAPK signaling
Objective(s): Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play a key role in the pathogenesis of diabetic vascular disease. Our current study sought to explore the effects of tanshinone IIA on the proliferation and migration of VSMCs induced by advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Materials and Methods: In this study, we examined the effects of tanshinone IIA by cell proliferation assay and cell mi...
متن کامل[Ca(2+)](i) signaling in renal arterial smooth muscle cells of pregnant rat is enhanced during inhibition of NOS.
Vascular resistance and arterial pressure are reduced during normal pregnancy, but dangerously elevated during pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH), and changes in nitric oxide (NO) synthesis have been hypothesized as one potential cause. In support of this hypothesis, chronic inhibition of NO synthesis in pregnant rats has been shown to cause significant increases in renal vascular resistance ...
