Calcium Influx Factor Directly Activates Store-operated Cation Channels in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

Abstract: Recently, we described a novel 3-pSstores in permeabilized human platelets resulted in the release of endogenous factor, which activated 3-pS channels in isolated inside-out membrane patches excised from SMC and exposed to permeabilized platelets. The same 3-pS channels in excised membrane patches were also activated by acid extracts of CIF derived from human platelets with depleted Ca 2؉ stores, which also stimulated Ca 2؉ influx upon injection into Xenopus oocytes. Specific high pressure liquid chromatograph… Show more

“…After 32-36 h they were treated with TG, and CIF was extracted from cells, purified, and then injected into X. laevis oocytes, which we routinely use as a sensitive bioassay system in CIF studies (29,30,33). Injection of CIF extract from control cells (transfected with scrambled siRNA) caused a strong Ca 2ϩ influx propagating from the point of injection through the oocytes (Fig.…”

“…Calcium influx factor (CIF) is known to be produced in the cells upon depletion of Ca 2ϩ stores (25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33) and/or a drop in intraluminal free Ca 2ϩ concentration (33). Although the molecular identity of CIF is still unknown, its presence and biological activity was detected by numerous groups in a wide variety of cell types ranging from yeast to human (for review see Ref.…”

“…A clear alternative is the suggested diffusible messenger for CCE, termed calcium inf lux factor (9,10). Interestingly, there is recent evidence for such a mode of signaling in vascular smooth muscle cells (48), which is one of the cell types that expresses the nonselective cation channel version of CCE (18).…”

“…First described in nonexcitable cells, CCE has now been shown to coexist with L-type channels in smooth and skeletal muscle cells (17,35) and in both neonatal and adult cardiomyocytes (12,13,31). The TRPC protein family has been a prime candidate for CCE channel proteins (14) and TRPC1, -3, -4, -5, and -6 have all been identified in rat and mouse hearts (14,28,30).…”
