Increased intracellular Na+ augments mobilization of Ca2+ from SR in vascular smooth muscle cells

Abstract: The effect of a rise in intracellular Na+ concentration ([Na+]cyt) on the amount of Ca2+ in intracellular stores was studied in vascular smooth muscle cells from the A7r5 line. The relative amount of stored Ca2+ was estimated in fura 2-loaded cells by the rise in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]cyt) evoked by Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). To improve the detection of released Ca2+, extrusion of Ca2+ from the cytosol was minimized by using nominally Na+/Ca(2+)-free medium containing… Show more

“…In the relatively ouabainresistant A7r5 cells, 1 M ouabain induces proliferation comparable to that obtained with 1 nM ouabain in CSVSMCs (1,3). It is most important to note that it has been clearly shown that this concentration of ouabain has no effect on the Na pump of A7r5 cells or rat vessels, so there would be no significant alteration of cytoplasmic ion content (8,9). The results of the experiments shown in Fig.…”

“…After [Na ϩ ] o was reduced to 100 mmol/L the cell pairs uncoupled already at ϩ10 mV ( Figure 5A and B). The rate of the capacitance decay was voltage-dependent ] i is buffered at a low concentration (9). The experimental results corresponding to these interventions are presented in Table. ( Figure 5A): the more positive the holding potential, the more rapidly cells uncoupled ( Figure 5C).…”

“…When Ca2 +-entry is prevented under Ca21-free conditions or with diltiazem, the high K+-induced Ca2+ response is due to the remaining direct molecular interaction between the Ca2`channel and the ryanodine receptor (Schneider & Chandler, 1973;Meissner, 1994) (Grassi et al, 1993 tying of the internal store (Grassi et al, 1993). Recently, increased cytosolic Na' has been shown to augment thapsigargin-induced Ca2" release in smooth muscle cells (Borin et al, 1994). Whether a similar mechanism is involved in the nAChR-mediated mobilization of Ca2" from internal stores remains to be investigated.…”
