“…Indeed, according to this model, the Ca 2ϩ influx is thought to be regulated by the Ca 2ϩ content of intracellular pools. The importance of SERCAs in this capacitative entry was suggested, since this theory comes from the observation that inhibitors of SERCA, such as thapsigargin, cause depletion of intracellular Ca 2ϩ pools (without IP 3 formation and as a result, mimic the ability of surface membrane, IP 3 agonists, to activate Ca 2ϩ entry) (50). Now, we might suggest the physiological role of SERCAs in the Ca 2ϩ signaling cascade by their function of refilling Ca 2ϩ stores following store depletion and Ca 2ϩ influx, as the further essential step in Ca 2ϩ movements associated with PDGF-induced SMC proliferation.…”

“…2 and 3). Ca 2ϩ channels in the plasma membrane allow Ca 2ϩ influx following a stimulation due to membrane depolarization (voltage-operated channels) (3,4) or binding of a ligand to its receptor (receptoroperated channels) (5). Intracellular Ca 2ϩ pools are also strongly implicated in the increase in cytosolic Ca 2ϩ concentration by liberating their Ca 2ϩ content into the cytosol through intracellular Ca 2ϩ channels: the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP 3 ) 1 receptor (6) and the ryanodine receptor (7).…”

“…Since the intracellular concentration of Ca 2+ ([Ca2+]i) is a major determinant of contractile force, much effort has been devoted to elucidating mechanisms which regulate [CaZ+]~ in smooth muscle [1,2]. It is now clear that multiple and complex signaling pathways participate in these mechanisms.…”

“…VSMC contraction is triggered by a rise of cytosolic calcium ion concentration ([Ca 2ϩ ]) due to either transmembrane Ca 2ϩ influx or Ca 2ϩ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Extracellular Ca 2ϩ entry normally occurs through L-type voltagedependent Ca 2ϩ channels, although there are numerous ligandgated membrane channels that are also Ca 2ϩ permeable (1). Ca 2ϩ release from the SR is mediated by inositol trisphosphate (InsP 3 ) and ryanodine receptors.…”
