Human β-defensin 2 is a novel opener of Ca2+-activated potassium channels and induces vasodilation and hypotension in monkeys.
Human β-defensin 2 (HBD2) is a cysteine-rich cationic antimicrobial peptide known for its important role in innate immune system. Intensive studies have demonstrated its antimicrobial and chemotactic activities in vitro. In this study, ELISA analysis showed that HBD2 was significantly downregulated in sera of patients with hypertension. It relaxed vessel smooth muscle by acting on the major reg...

Herrera, Gerald M., Thomas J. Heppner, and Mark T. Nelson. Voltage dependence of the coupling of Ca sparks to BKCa channels in urinary bladder smooth muscle. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 280: C481–C490, 2001.—Large-conductance Cadependent K (BKCa) channels play a critical role in regulating urinary bladder smooth muscle (UBSM) excitability and contractility. Measurements of BKCa currents and intra...
متن کاملTHG113.31, a specific PGF2alpha receptor antagonist, induces human myometrial relaxation and BKCa channel activation
BACKGROUND PGF2alpha exerts a significant contractile effect on myometrium and is central to human labour. THG113.31, a specific non-competitive PGF2alpha receptor (FP) antagonist, exerts an inhibitory effect on myometrial contractility. The BKCa channel is ubiquitously encountered in human uterine tissue and plays a significant role in modulating myometrial cell membrane potential and excitabi...
متن کاملChronic fetal exposure to caffeine altered resistance vessel functions via RyRs-BKCa down-regulation in rat offspring
Caffeine modifies vascular/cardiac contractility. Embryonic exposure to caffeine altered cardiac functions in offspring. This study determined chronic influence of prenatal caffeine on vessel functions in offspring. Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats (5-month-old) were exposed to high dose of caffeine, their offspring (5-month-old) were tested for vascular functions in mesenteric arteries (MA) and io...
متن کاملActivation of PERK branch of ER stress mediates homocysteine-induced BKCa channel dysfunction in coronary artery via FoxO3a-dependent regulation of atrogin-1
The molecular mechanism of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in vascular pathophysiology remains inadequately understood. We studied the role of ER stress in homocysteine-induced impairment of coronary dilator function, with uncovering the molecular basis of the effect of ER stress on smooth muscle large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BKCa) channels. The vasodilatory function of BKCa channels w...
