TMEM16A inhibits angiotensin II-induced basilar artery smooth muscle cell migration in a WNK1-dependent manner

Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) migration plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of many cardiovascular diseases. We recently showed that TMEM16A is involved in hypertension-induced cerebrovascular remodeling. However, it is unclear whether this effect is related to the regulation of VSMC migration. Here, we investigated whether and how TMEM16A contributes to migration in basilar artery smooth muscle cells (BASMCs). We observed that AngII increased the migration of cultured BASMCs, which was markedly inhibited by overexpression of TMEM16A. TMEM16A overexpression inhibited AngII-induced RhoA/ROCK2 activation, and myosin light chain phosphatase (MLCP) and myosin light chain (MLC20) phosphorylation. But AngII-induced myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) activation was not affected by TMEM16A. Furthermore, a suppressed activation of integrin

Research Progress on Biological Characteristics and Function of Volume Regulated Cl-Channel in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells / 中山大学学报(医学科学版)

Volume regulated chloride channel (VRCC) enhances cell proliferation through PI3K/Akt signal pathway ,and inhibits cell apoptosis through mitochondrial pathway in vascular smooth muscle cells ,and accelerates the process of atherosclerosis through JNK/p38 MAPK signal pathway,resulting in increasing SR-A expression and ox-LDL uptake. Cerebrovascular remodeling is mediated by VRCC. This effect of VRCC on remodeling is related to accelerating cell proliferation ,migration and accumulation of. extracellular matrix. As to the molecular identification of VRCC ,it is very complex. VRCC is diversity in various cells or tissues , rather than a single ubiquitous channel,VRCC may be contain variedcell type-or tissue-specific subunitcompositions. ClC-3 volume regulated Cl-channel is regulated by both integrin-Src and Rho/RhA-Rock signal pathways.

Change of Cl~- channels in aortic smooth muscle cells of hypertensive rats / 中国药理学通报

Aim To investigate change in Cl- channels of hypertensive rats aortic smooth muscle cells. Methods 2 kidney-2 clip renovascular hypertensive rats(RVHR) model was established. In thoracic aorta smooth muscles from the hypertensive rats 1～12 weeks after operation,the changes of tension of aortic rings were recorded in vitro. Effects of Cl- channel blookers,DIDS(4,4-diisothiocyanato-stilbene-2,2'disulphonate)and NPPB[5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropy-lamino) benzonic acid], in different concentration on contractile response of hypertensive rats aorta smooth muscle induced by 10 ?mol?L -1 phenylephrine were observed.Results The difference of inhibitory effects of 300 ?mol?L -1 DIDS and 100 ?mol?L -1 NPPB on Phe-induced contractile response between RVHR and sham-operated rats was not evident.Inhibitory effects of 300 ?mol?L -1 DIDS and 100 ?mol?L -1 NPPB on contractile response of hypertensive rats aorta smooth muscle induced by 10 ?mol?L -1 phenylephrine were lower than those of sham-operated rats in 8 weeks and 12 weeks after operation. With extension of time after operation and gradual increase of blood pressure in RVHR,inhibitory effects of DIDS and NPPB on Phe-induced contractile response gradually reduced.Conclusion Action of DIDS-sensitive and NPPB-sensitive Cl- channels in hypertensive rats aortic vascular smooth muscle cells changes. DIDS-sensitive and NPPB-sensitive Cl- channels play an important role in development and maintenance of hypertension.

Comparison of ATP and thrombin-induced Ca2+ entry in vascular endothelial cells / 中国药理学与毒理学杂志

The effects of drugs on intracellular calcium concentration(［Ca2+］i) were investigated with fura-2 fluorescence technique to investigate ATP and thrombin-induced Ca2+ entry in bovine aortic endothelial cells(BAEC). It was found that application of ATP and thrombin gave rise to biphasic ［Ca2+］i elevation. ATP or thrombin only triggered a fraction of cyclopiazonic acid(CPA)-sensitive Ca2+ store, which was enough to activate Ca2+ entry. The Ca2+ release induced by thrombin resulted from the activation of phospholipase C(PLC), whereas the PLC-independent mechanism was involved in ATP-induced Ca2+ release. Nifedipine had no effect on ATP and thrombin- induced Ca2+ entry. SK&F 96365 and ginsenoside-2A inhibited both ATP and CPA-induced Ca2+ entry, however no effect of them on thrombin-induced Ca2+ entry was found. The inhibitory effects of SK&F 96365 and ginsenoside-2A on CPA-induced Ca2+ entry were less than that on ATP-induced Ca2+ entry. The Ca2+ influx sensitive to SK&F 96365 was not the same as that to ginsenoside-2A. These observations suggest that both ATP and thrombin evoke Ca2+ release and Ca2+ influx by activation of different receptor. However their mechanisms appear different.

Genistein and vanadate could reduce or increase the Ca 2+influx respectively. CONCLUSION: Ca 2+influx induced by Adr is related to VDC and ROC, and chloride channels involves in the processes.The levels of tyrosine phosphoralation affect the Ca 2+influx.

Recent advances in endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor research / 中国药理学通报

Endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) is the third factor released by en-dothelial cell other than NO and PGI2. It relaxes smooth muscle accompanied by a hyperpolarization in the membrane potential. EDHF may be epoxye-icosatrienoic acids (EETs) formed from arachidon-ic acid by the action of cytochrome P450. It is synthesized and/or released by endothelial cell as a result of an cytosolic Ca2+ increase, which is stimulated by the action of acetylcholine or bradykinin on endothelial cell. EDHF is shown to activate Ca2+-activated K+ channels and induce a hyperpolarization in the membrane potential in vascular smooth muscle. The hyperpolarization of the membrane inhibits the opening of voltage-dependentcalcium channels, allows calcium sequestration and removal mechanisms to lower intracellular calcium, and leads smooth muscle to relaxation. In large conducing arteries, EDHF may provide a secondary system to NO, which assumes primary importance in endothelium-dependent relaxation and inhibits the release of EDHF. However, in small resistance arteries, EDHF appears to be a major determinant of vascular calibre, and may be of primary importance in the regulation of vascular resistance.

Cerebrovascular remodeling is the most important pathologic change during hypertension. Stroke induced by hypertension is threatening thousands of people's lives. The ion channels in cerebrovascular smooth muscle cells may be altered during hypertension and thus the abnormality of cytosolic ion concentration can accelerate cerebrovascular remodeling. These channels, including potassium channels, calcium channels and chloride channels, may play an important role in the cerebrovascular remodeling during hypertension.
