Endothelial coordination of cerebral vasomotion via myoendothelial gap junctions containing connexins 37 and 40.
Control of cerebral vasculature differs from that of systemic vessels outside the blood-brain barrier. The hypothesis that the endothelium modulates vasomotion via direct myoendothelial coupling was investigated in a small vessel of the cerebral circulation. In the primary branch of the rat basilar artery, membrane potential, diameter, and calcium dynamics associated with vasomotion were examin...
متن کاملSimultaneous arterial calcium dynamics and diameter measurements: application to myoendothelial communication.
The goal of the present study was to analyze the intercellular calcium communication between smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) by simultaneously monitoring artery diameter and intracellular calcium concentration in a rat mesenteric arterial segment in vitro under physiological pressure (50 mmHg) and flow (50 microl/min) in a specially developed system. Intracellular calcium...
متن کاملEvidence for the involvement of myoendothelial gap junctions in EDHF-mediated relaxation in the rat middle cerebral artery.
The mechanisms underlying endothelium-dependent hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) remain largely unresolved. In particular, very little is known regarding the way in which the signal is transmitted from endothelium to smooth muscle. The present study tested the hypothesis that direct communication via myoendothelial gap junctions contributes to the EDHF response ...
متن کاملRole of myoendothelial communication on arterial vasomotion.
THE ARTERIAL SYSTEM secures an adequate supply of blood to organs. In many vessels, cyclic variations of the arterial diameter, a phenomenon called vasomotion, may contribute to the regulation of blood flow. Vasomotion is generated by synchronous oscillations in the cytosolic calcium concentration of adjacent smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Gap junctions mediating electrical and chemical couplings ...
متن کاملIs Suggestive of a Role in Endothelium-Derived Hyperpolarizing Factor Incidence of Myoendothelial Gap Junctions in the Proximal and Distal Mesenteric Arteries
Although the chemical nature of endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) remains elusive, electrophysiological evidence exists for electrical communication between smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells suggesting that electrotonic propagation of hyperpolarization may explain the failure to identify a single chemical factor as EDHF. Anatomical evidence for myoendothelial gap junctio...
