Inhibition of smooth-muscle myosin-light-chain phosphatase by Ruthenium Red.
Ruthenium Red (RuR) is widely used as an inhibitor of ryanodine receptor Ca(2+) release channels, but has additional effects such as the induction of Ca(2+) sensitization of contraction of permeabilized smooth muscles. To address the mechanism underlying this process, we examined the effects of RuR on contractility in permeabilized guinea-pig ileum and on the activity of myosin-light-chain phos...

Physiol. 274 (Cell Physiol. 43): C1199– C1205, 1998.—Recent studies on the role of nitric oxide (NO) in gastrointestinal smooth muscle have raised the possibility that NO-stimulated cGMP could, in the absence of cGMPdependent protein kinase (PKG) activity, act as a Ca2...

Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 281: C555–C562, 2001.—Hypotonic swelling increases the intracellular Ca21 concentration ([Ca]i) in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). The source of this Ca21 is not clear. To study the source of increase in [Ca]i in response to ...

متن کاملCa2+ sensitization of smooth muscle contractility induced by ruthenium red.
The effects of ruthenium red (RuR) on contractility were examined in skinned fibers of guinea pig smooth muscles, where sarcoplasmic reticulum function was destroyed by treatment with A-23187. Contractions of skinned fibers of the urinary bladder were enhanced by RuR in a concentration-dependent manner (EC50 = 60 μM at pCa 6.0). The magnitude of contraction at pCa 6.0 was increased to 320% of c...
