Developmental changes in ryanodine- and IP3-sensitive Ca2+ pools in ovine basilar artery

Abstract: To explore the hypothesis that cerebrovascular maturation alters ryanodine- and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3))-sensitive Ca(2+) pool sizes, we measured total intracellular Ca(2+) with (45)Ca and the fractions of intracellular Ca(2+) released by IP(3) and/or caffeine in furaptra-loaded permeabilized basilar arteries from nonpregnant adult and term fetal (139-141 days) sheep. Ca(2+) mass (nmol/mg dry weight) was similar in adult (1.60 +/- 0.18) and fetal (1.71 +/- 0.16) arteries in the pool sensitive to IP… Show more

“…IP 3 binds to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane (ER) IP 3 R receptors and causes the release of Ca 2+ from intracellular pools. The ryanodin receptors (RyR), stimulated, among others, by caffeine (1,11,12) are an alternative way for the release of calcium from the ER. Contraction of vascular smooth muscle may also occur via calcium ions escaping from the extracellular space through channels in the cell membrane [receptor-operated Ca 2+ channels (ROC)] activated by ligand ANG II or PHE (13).…”

“…This lowered spark activity in the neonate may be due to nonaggregation of ryanodine receptors and consequential unsynchronized Ca 2ϩ release from the ryanodine-sensitive stores. Indeed, mature and immature arterial SMCs may rely on different intracellular Ca 2ϩ stores (27). Recently, we showed that the BK channels in fetal SMCs have a lower Ca 0 and, as a consequence, are more active than those in adult SMCs at a given [Ca 2ϩ ] i (18).…”

“…These include differences in K ϩ channel expression (35), K ϩ channel activity (18,23), resting membrane potential (10), intracellular Ca 2ϩ regulation (5,24), sensitivity of contraction to [Ca 2ϩ ] i (1,12,25), and others (26,32). In the ovine fetal middle cerebral artery, contraction depends almost completely on the influx of extracellular Ca 2ϩ , whereas contraction in adult myocytes relies more on Ca 2ϩ release from intracellular Ca 2ϩ stores, including the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-releasable and ryanodine-sensitive stores (1,24,27).…”
