Quintessence of Vascular Ca2+ and K+ channels

Vascular tone and hence blood pressure are determined by the contractile state of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) within the blood vessel wall, which is regulated by intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca]i). Vasoconstrictors act through increasing [Ca]i as well as on the apparent calcium sensitivity of the contractile process in VSMCs, whereas relaxing factors have the opposite effect. ...

Altered expression of small-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (SK3) channels modulates arterial tone and blood pressure.

The endothelium is a critical regulator of vascular tone, and dysfunction of the endothelium contributes to numerous cardiovascular pathologies. Recent studies suggest that apamin-sensitive, small-conductance, Ca2+-activated K+ channels may play an important role in active endothelium-dependent vasodilations, and expression of these channels may be altered in disease states characterized by vas...

Opposing roles of smooth muscle BK channels and ryanodine receptors in the regulation of nerve-evoked constriction of mesenteric resistance arteries.

In depolarized smooth muscle cells of pressurized cerebral arteries, ryanodine receptors (RyRs) generate "Ca2+ sparks" that activate large-conductance, Ca2+ -, and voltage-sensitive potassium (BK) channels to oppose pressure-induced (myogenic) constriction. Here, we show that BK channels and RyRs have opposing roles in the regulation of arterial tone in response to sympathetic nerve activation ...

Activation of Inward Rectifier Potassium Channels in High Salt Impairment of Hydrogen Sulfide-Induced Aortic Relaxation in Rats

Introduction: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays a key role in the regulation of vascular tone and protection of blood vessels against endothelial dysfunction. Since the mechanism of salt impairing H2S-induced vascular relaxation is not fully clear, therefore this study was designed to investigate the role of potassium (K+) channels in the vasodilatory effects of exogenous H2S in rat aortic rings.&nb...

Integrative Physiology Acidosis Dilates Brain Parenchymal Arterioles by Conversion of Calcium Waves to Sparks to Activate BK Channels

Rationale: Acidosis is a powerful vasodilator signal in the brain circulation. However, the mechanisms by which this response occurs are not well understood, particularly in the cerebral microcirculation. One important mechanism to dilate cerebral (pial) arteries is by activation of large-conductance, calcium-sensitive potassium (BKCa) channels by local Ca 2 signals (Ca sparks) through ryanodin...
